Paul Scholes & Nicky Butt On Carrick MASTERCLASS, Arsenal COLLAPSE & Man United 2008 vs Arsenal 2026

31:16And I think if I'm a young kid, again, another good role model of how to handle a situation and as well, look what's happened. Exactly. Got a great move. He's at City, one of the best managers in the world, fantastic team you go there you are that's what you get well he's handled himself brilliantly and he's got a reward for it hasn't he for doing it the right way whereas Isak he kicked off and still got his move now look what's happened I'm not saying do you know what I mean God's always watching isn't he no you know about Robbie Fowler because we're talking about Liverpool this again blew my mind when you think you know a little bit I didn't know this Liverpool Liverpool have only won five of the last 18 league matches.

32:05Yeah, I've seen that. But they were saying as well, the last 13, 14 games, they're on a great run, a load of draws in there. Look, whatever slot has done last year, once Xabi Alonso got sacked from Real Madrid, that's just hanging right over him whenever there's a bad result, whenever there's a bad few results. And you've also got Gerrard in the background. Gerrard in the background. He's got a job. just going back to Gehi as well signing for City and this thing about him being at Liverpool having a medical on deadline day when you two were playing did you ever have a player that close come into your club very famous one

32:43Paddy McGuinness:yeah Ronaldinho Ronaldinho yeah you know he did yeah I remember we was what season you don't you don't really know that much about what player you're interested in so you see it on TV yeah you hear about it and then on the plane oh we was going to on precinct so to America and we had to we had to refuel something like that yeah Mike Dallas or Seattle somewhere like that we had to refuel I always remember it Goose Bay it was called Goose Bay right so I think the manager came to speak to a few of us which is very rare he was excited wasn't he he was excited he never got like that I never seen him like I was signing a player no I think we've got Ronaldinho done sorry what year were this I don't know was it 2003 2004 before Bex went to Madrid so where would Ronaldinho have been then?

33:29I think he was at PSG and he looked an unbelievable player so yeah we took off

33:34Paddy McGuinness:and he's talking to us and then we took off and back then there was no wifi on your phone so now you can get wifi you're in no man's land for 7-8 hours his agent was his brother as well so he just kept saying brother I think we're done and I remember so you're on your way to America you train a few times then you have your first game and even then he still thought it was done because he's in the dressing room so I think I'll give him number seven when I give him the number seven shirt so it was like honestly it was that close we were excited because it was amazing telling and I actually think I don't know if it was that tour but we were playing against Barcelona he chose Barcelona and played his first game I think was against us I think it might have been the year after possibly yeah God the things you hear on here and we're all thinking I'm going to fucking do him I'm going to do him I'm going to do him but you couldn't get near him the rest of that Barcelona team is unbelievable I'm just putting it out there I can feel people typing the comments already before I say this I think a lot of people know that anyway do you think Ronaldinho would have worked in that squad absolutely it would have been unbelievable he would have been amazing in the Premier League yeah would have been amazing I think it would have been at Barnsley no at yeah it would have been amazing I mean you see where he was brought up yeah see where he played football at least the sunshine was out then hey listen he's one of the greatest players ever by the way before everyone starts piling up he'd have been incredible he is and do you know what people probably talk about his character and would your manager be able to handle him that's what I'm saying about his whole life I think what our manager would have handled him Yeah, but we had York, as Nicky said before.

35:23York, he was the biggest party ledger, see? But as long as he's doing it on a perch, the manager will handle him.

35:27Paddy McGuinness:I think he would have come in and been blown it away. Premier League Player of the Year for two years, maybe three years, and then I think he could have gone. I think they'd have been in and out pretty quick. But I think that the three years or two years or whatever it was we had with him would have been phenomenal for the Premier League. Did you get to the bottom of why he never signed? Charles Barcelona. He went to the... As simple as that. He obviously went there, seeing the beaches, obviously where he's from. I like it windy in Manchester. Thomas Frank on the brink. Last week they had the 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund, so you're thinking, great result.

36:02Then they do a 2-2 draw against Burnley. Currently 14th. Only eight points clear relegation. And another thing, when I was coming in and I was looking at the league, I can't believe if Leeds win... You've done a lot on your way into that, haven't you? Oh, I'm all over it. You know what it is? I'd had a sprout shot this morning. I'd had a sprout shot this morning. The brain's switched on. If Leeds win, they're above... They're above... Or they're level with points with third, but they might go above on goal difference or something. But that's like... It's mad league this year. It's mad, isn't it?

36:40Tottenham is just a basket case of a football club, isn't it? You don't know what you're going to get.

36:44Paddy McGuinness:You look at that football club, the fundamentals of that football club is brilliant. It's unbelievable. and the ground everything about it the training ground the ground you look at it it's all in place to go and be successful but they just can't get the right I think they let the right one go too soon the Pacino go Thomas Frank actually felt like the right man for the job it did to me it just felt like a perfect what he did at Brentford and again there's different pressures as well from Brentford to Tottenham well if you look at the same amount of games Frank played at Brentford as opposed to Spurs similar sort of record didn't do that great at Brentford but again I should imagine at Brentford there's not a massive spotlight on you so you've got that time to mistakes develop you feel awkward with any Tottenham manager that one result away from complete disaster it feels like he's at that point now look and I feel a bit sorry for him because he's got his main players are missing they've been missing for a long time Jamie Madison Kulisunska Solanke did not really have a forward line where you'd think they could be dangerous them three are really good players and I quite like the rest of the team midfield possibly Connor Gallagher's coming I love the centre-halves me Van der Veen and Romero I think they should be playing it he's in my team I think they should be playing it if them two centre-halves were at Man United I'd come up my night would you Firstly it just popped into my head do you think Spurs fans would have Ange back now to swap for Frank no I don't think so I don't think so right okay then fair enough right no I just thought I'd ask it while we're here why not it's a volatile football club isn't it yeah they've had volatile managers that hasn't quite worked and what do you expect from Tottenham what would I expect a top six and maybe win a cup one thing Gange did he won them a big trophy that's what I'm saying he did sacrifice the league to do it as well really when you've been at other clubs outside of United do you always know or is there a vibe in the dressing room when you know the manager's going to be sacked does it change with the manager does his chat with you change because he knows he's on his way out you've had to sack a manager haven't you I've had to sack a manager at Newcastle yeah it's not nice but yeah you see it coming and as a player at Newcastle I didn't see the Sir Bobby one coming but he was only there four weeks I signed and then he went four weeks later it was a disaster but then the next one has come along and you can feel a tension and you just know this is the big game.

39:20Paddy McGuinness:This is the one game that is going to make or break the manager and it's not a nice feeling because you're responsible for that as well. You know, you're part of that, big part of that reason why the manager's going to be going. Now, the manager might be doing certain things wrong. You know, training ground might be wrong. The chats to the players might be wrong. But ultimately, you want to cross that white line. You're the ones that are responsible for playing and performing and we didn't do that as much as we should have done in Newcastle. I didn't either. certainly I didn't but when you see a manager getting sats and I think I was involved in about four or five no it's about six or seven actually at Newcastle could you feel it coming you could feel it coming yeah and you could feel a tension in the manager and I never had that all my career what you mean a bit snappy a bit short temper you could just see him like you know sometimes he's just down and it's emotion some people get angry some people get sad I had some brilliant managers at Newcastle Kevin Keegan you know Sam Allardyce Graham Soonest It's all big characters that have been there, seen it and done it.

40:17Is there anyone you thought, like you're trying to lean up to the game and thinking, I'm not sure he should be doing this job? Yeah, there's a few, yeah.

40:24Paddy McGuinness:Yeah, there's a few of them well out of depth and you're thinking, how have you got in this job? Name names, it's not nice, but Joe Kinnear, he come into the football club and he hadn't watched a lot, he actually said, lads have not watched a live game, not on TV, have not been at a stadium for 10 years. Jesus. Now that is a big, big things of someone to say he didn't know any of the players names he knew Alan Shearer was mine and maybe one or two others didn't know any but the ball was still round now when you look at a big football club who did he come to get the job then? because it was the Mike Caster scenario wasn't it?

40:59Paddy McGuinness:it was Mike Caster Lee he came in it was obviously Dennis Wise I was going to say he was involved as well it was a bit of a you know friends, mates, jobs football you can see why the Newcastle fans were straight on to that yeah you're looking at Newcastle and I had a great time at Newcastle we got relegated that obviously wasn't great but in general great people good fans proper football club and you've got some a manager coming who's not been involved in football for 10 years how long were Jokaneer there then? about I don't know long was it? 8 weeks was that it? he had a heart attack he had a heart attack I was there but Paul got ill and he was a great fella I really liked him but you're just looking thinking how's this happening?

41:38Paddy McGuinness:how's this happening? you know it's fucking madness you've got all the people you can choose from and you choose someone who by his own admission fell out a love of football and didn't even watch any football live watched it on TV like we do or didn't go to any games didn't study the football didn't study it football moves on you said a minute ago football moves on in 10 years you hadn't been to a live game for 10 years but going off track a little bit it would be a totally different game oh a totally different game he'd have been around that Wimbledon team where the fucking amount of certain each of his clothes on fire and then you go to Newcastle and you've got five or six French lads who don't really speak that much English.

42:15Paddy McGuinness:You've got two South American players and you've got the English contingent. Then you've got the younger ones who are coming up. I mean, it was mind-blowing. But you see it coming, you see the guy, no matter whether you like them or not and you see it, some people might go, I'm glad you got, I was never glad any of the managers got sats. Because you look at them and you think, you then see that they're human beings. Of course. I remember seeing Van Gaal get sats at Man United. Now, Van Gaal's a beast of a man. Yeah. Like, big fella.

44:36Paddy McGuinness:Well it's difficult Because at the time It was Neil Wood Who had a close Relationship anyway You brought him To the club We brought him To the club With the Upman United At the time He was a 13 coach Really good How long was he At Salford then By now A year and a half 18 months Right okay But he was a really Really good coach On the grass Top top top top But in that league It's a gamble With who you get Because you've either Got to go for It's very rare You get both You've got to go For the coach Who's on the grass And who's not quite Experienced enough To manage Or you go the way around who's a manager who doesn't really do much coaching and it's always a gamble and when you bring a manager in from an academy who's not managed men before, it's a gamble but we all decided to do it and we brought him in, started off really well, you're watching the football you're going wow this is unbelievable but then it got to a point where we went on a horrendous run didn't we, remember it was like 12 games without even a draw or a win and it's coming in, it's coming in, it's coming in but so we sat him down, I think I was with Ryan at the time.

45:33Paddy McGuinness:Sorry, when does the first conversation start amongst the owners? Oh, six weeks earlier. No, I mean, with a run of games we've not even drawn, is it after five games, six games, will you start having them tentative conversations? I don't think you can put a marker down on the amount of games. It's just like, how's the feeling in the football club? What are the players like? Have they lost the players? What are they playing like on a pitch? Are we looking to try and win a game? Or are we just cards down? Yeah. jacked it so yeah I don't remember the actual point of us talking but we talked we were close anyway we would speak every other day on the phone and even more so them and we was all in the club but yeah anyway it was like it was discussion time it was like the next game come along you got beat we've got to win the next game and then you've got to do what's right by the football club and what was right by the football club is getting somebody we got to a point we nearly got we were worried about relegation remember and don't forget we had Singapore sat at the top of us so Peter Lim was sat above us and he's having his saying it as well bring him in and we give him a phone call on the night before come in the training ground at 7 o 'clock by that phone call you know what's happening 7 in the morning yeah you're not coming in at 7 in the morning so have a chat about the next game you know you can leave that till 9 who made that phone call me and could you tell by his voice he went oh alright but Wood in all fairness to him he knew after it happened he actually said he'd probably give me a bit too long because he knew did I think if if managers got common sense about it, they realise what's coming.

47:06Do you know what I mean? And there's a lot that builds up to you. You were talking before about development and results. But when we're there and we see every single day, you see certain things, certain decisions, or certain players who might play out of position, and that all accumulates into the bad results, which is why eventually you have to get rid of them. So you're sat down in the office. He comes in.

47:26Paddy McGuinness:I'm down like this, three of us, and I said, Woody, it's got to come to that time now and it's not a nice one. I think you've been brilliant for us. and you know it's more harder because of my relationship with you I've known you for 8-9 years coaching I think you're a great coach I still think he's a good coach I still think he's got a big career in football but it's not going to happen we can't afford it and he was fine absolutely fine I mean you can't sit there but even if I didn't have a relationship with him he still can't sit there and argue the point we're sitting in three points off relegation we had the highest budget our second or third highest budget at the time in the league it is what it is it's like you say Gary I was regrets it we actually sacked a manager we were second in the league once we didn't Gary did Gary says that was his get us one on him Neb he's fucking raw Gary always admits that was his biggest mistake I think to be fair to Neb he paid him apart of his own pocket we actually sacked managers they all can't get promoted on the teams I think Rick Wellings as well didn't quite work out for us do you know what you were saying about that first manager second then you're sacked one second league I was just going to say because that's when if you're a manager then like Van Gaal and like Pochettino and like Ange where you've won Summit or you're in a final then when you get sacked you've got to be a manager then going fucking hell what more do you want yeah you have to remember the levels are so different as well because we talk about Van Gaal and Mourinho and them types getting sacked it doesn't affect their life because they're getting like 9, 10 million quid do you know what I mean when we're doing it Woody might have been getting 30, 40 grand do you know what I mean it's just totally different did Mourinho say that that he's second place at Man United one of his biggest achievements yeah yeah he did did he?

49:15Paddy McGuinness:second place at Man United with his squad he had and the funds that he had I don't know how true it is you only take his word for it was it's one of his biggest achievements and he's won everything wow that's some statement that isn't it just as we're getting to the end there's a few little things I want to do a bit of fun we've had no food and drink questions have we? not for a while by the way I need to bring some sprout juice we're bringing them in we have enough of that we have enough shot of sprout juice no shall we just say Scolzy what it was we got stuff sent in sprout juice Scolzy and then we had a shot didn't we so basically before we started the pod Scolsey come in with a bag there was some treats in it and we thought here we go this is lovely it's not like him as well because he's fucking tight than cramped most of the times still waiting for a Christmas card off these two anyhow I thought oh what's he got here we go this will be the cutting edge kind of the best this is like Luca's head on crack and he's pulled out a lot of pops of sprout juice and trust me it's as bad as it sounds I never knew it existed though so it's good that it doesn't I actually thought it was very nice so no I think it wasn't very nice it was alright see when I have it it's like hot it's warm it's nice you put your hand around it it's winter it's like a bit of salt and pepper in it it's called Bovril that not fucking sprout and then you get one of these little shots it doesn't smell great it's cold it's cold it's cold as well yeah cold thanks for them shots whoever's I'll tell you something whoever owns that company has got the hardest sales job ever because if I'm in a health shop and I'm going ah Echinacea Oh there's a bit of Ylang Ylang What's that?
