UNCUT: Roy Keane and Gary Neville on the Treble, booze and the #MUFC Glory Years | #CadburyFC

to Liverpool by one to nil and on Wednesday night at Old Trafford, it was like that. My mindset was always after a game because I was a pretty intense person after a game and these were bad habits. it was after coming in particularly when I played a league at the beginning, when I was in a forest, it was always a case of definitely offering a few pints after the game, you always know win or lose or have a drink, yeah I would. I always go for a few pints that was my way of disconnecting all the people were doing other things I go I don't listen I go for a few points so when I don't know it ends they are nice and when you go out after a game it's going to be late at night because when you start to drink it's 11 and if you want to warm up it's going to be three or four ok I'm sure and Sonia Wednesday and II remember leaving Autel.

I was drinking the shot near Old Trafford. I'll try to move quickly. The story ended with him having an argument with a guy. So the tour plane leads, but the plane leads. And that would happen in the afternoon, the drink no, no, no, once a week. very strange Jesus we played more on Saturday and remember we were losing and Holland had been irritating me for several

years

anyway and I don't suck them I did I don't think I deserve to break my knee and why I used the Serbs to get back and then on the day of the fever physio, it was a brilliant physio I said and he says that your knee is bad.

I had an operation. I remember I had surgery and I had to let my knee cool down and I had cross surgery for over five and six weeks. later and then you are at a crossroads, you are 20

years

old. I don't think I would have been 28 and I'm leaving so I had surgery and I remember talking to two surgeons that United for some reason had two surgeons looking after me which is brilliant so they gave me the lecture in the hospital you know you're at a crossroads in your career but if you do things correctly you should be fine you know you still have several years left in your career sports science change you have a great physio and I'm not thinking, you know, I love being fit, anyone, It's a setback, but I'll face it and I went.

I literally went out this nice for a few pints on crutches. However, the waves tell me that you are at a crossroads. I'm going, yes, brilliant, yes, I will. I'll do my best to come back or but I'm going out tonight and it's like at El Amin's house and then when. you're up for the year and the old Ronda cliff training isn't like modern gyms now there are no windows you and you and it's a lonely place for your energy, but in a way I enjoyed that determination to come back, but you analyze your I wasn't necessarily going to see United again, but I would look at other teams.

I look at other midfielders and obviously I made a promise and that's when I said I better take care of it when I come back, I'll do it and so on. Unfortunately, sometimes you need a serious injury and I'm sure there are people here who play sports. It takes a serious injury to appreciate the game a little more, although I always felt like I loved the game but maybe I was just taking things for granted. My lifestyle and drinking after games and all this stuff continues, so when I came back from the cruise I was pretty, but I came back pretty thin and ready to start my career again, but then on the other hand, I went to extremes, you know ?

I looked towards the end of my career even though I was totally at 132 - levels of body fat that I had actually lost. I took diets to the extreme in many sports, people are extremists and I went, I went too far in the other direction that I remember. a detox in Milan, do you know the boys used to go to those concerts? Some of the French slides went to a detox place in Milan for four days, I'll try it, you know, and they said for four or five days that you have four or five figures but they don't feed you for four or five days or I'm going I'm sure they give you a piece and the afternoon or something like that and I went and they don't feed you for four or five days I remember coming back and my wife and I tried all these protein-free fish and cat diets and I just remember and remember that I had a little cold all the time.

They still had dead legs and all you need is for your mother to tell you my My mother came, I was in my thirties again, why shouldn't you? And I was, you know, kind of a fitness fanatic, no, I just eat salads all the time and listen when you play in the middle of the pack in Premiership games. Wouldn't you know it, socially you need a bit of red meat in a proper game, so from being a bit silly and being a kid who goes around drinking and not being too extreme with the diets and finally holding back. in and and what I try and do now Christ, if I can handle it all a moderate moderation is fine, it's a long answer, wasn't it really?

Yes, but the cruise was a learning curve for me, yes, yes, definitely, I think to be fair. What Roy just said actually reflects the Premier League because when we first arrived, when we got into the first team, the boys would go out after the game, the when they didn't do it, after the game on a Saturday, sometimes even a boy Sunday. and when we were young, we had been brought up in a new way, this was not good for you, this was not right, the nutritionist was there, then Trevor came in, but you were like four or five. players there were six players left on the team who had been part of what had been the kind of culture and you know he would remember when I first came in as it seemed like Steve Bruce Bryan Robson paused it was normal to do this parlay and we They taught part of the Premier League and it just completely changed.

Vanga came in, the nutritionist came in and what Roy has just talked about is actually the evolutionary nature between what was the meaning of the seventies and eighties and the Premier League, which became, if you will, something very distant. more years of scientific basis of professional sport, but what happened was everyone then their body fat dropped to five six percent, which is just ridiculous about seven and a half eight and I was 13 when I joined the club, but then the problem is that it became a How low can you go? How perfect can you get? How professional can you be?

We thought we were already soft because we had been with the boss. We had tried to change the culture in general, even when he first came to the club, you know he tried. to move him a little bit, I knew he was changing, but to be fair, what is Roy's career, to be fair, he's actually split, he's lucky to be able to change some players, you know, the ones I played with in England. You are not able to see the goal from being a player who did that to playing and then if you like a modern player, one who really bought in and was open to the science of the sport, it was very interrupted that a change of heart like you were sitting there on a Wednesday, come on, he was a big guy.

It is better that I talk about this than about him, yes, because I witnessed it. I saw it. Know. He would do it. I saw it in him in terms of what everyone did in the locker room. moment of change full turn, you're not like that, it wasn't usually unprofessional before he was quickly doing what all the other players were doing during the five thirty conversations, but then he catches, he just said no, I'm going to change absolutely, it's a massive change that in your life and the people that have made that kind of big changes and big changes and it was 99 2001 it was 99 2000 this happened and obviously these Fitness are Isis body fat but everyone else responded to that because if the best player on the team and the most influential player is here again he goes into five six percent you can't have 12 he can't be nine you have a train and that is essentially again driving the standard and I think that was pushed on the right path and obviously the science of the sport has now changed again, but it was a massive change, I vaguely believe who won the league five times in six years from 95 to 2001, obviously there is an element of talent, but I think the fitness was acts that I think we were fit sir, we were more professional, remember the Spice Boys at that time, you know, Neil reduces Phil Bob, Jason McAteer, Fowler, John Scales, you know all those guys, they love to sigh and Joseph in a pint, a beer will cost you the league if you drink 10 a night three times a week and the facts and the fact is that if you have a team that drinks six seven pints three times a week or six seven points twice a week and you have a team that drinks don't drink six seven pints twice a week forget the talent forget the professionalism the difference is huge in terms of how you feel you know what you feel when you have a pint you wake up more then you go to work and it's like a hard work youth Do that twice a week, but actually you get fresh and don't drink for a week and you try it and you feel poor.

I feel and that is the relative: you eat better, you take better care of yourself and you will be mentally stronger. know physically better and in fact it may be someone even 10% more talented than you, you will leapfrog them and I really think that's what happened at United over a period of four or five days, which is why I asked to dr. Ferrand under the arson was strong and it can't be a coincidence that as that change of mentality happens you're going to win the

treble

and we could talk about it for an hour and the memorable games during the lead-up.

Is there a time when that kind of Twenty years later, that's still appreciated at that time. Can you reduce it? What does that season refer to? What negative role are you referring to? I just think it was a combination of a lot of things. There are never many fans who seem to remember. Short games are semi good. Are two. end, but sometimes it always came back and even in a league campaign there could be a victory that you could have had in Maris often and you knew at that moment that it was a vital victory, of course, again, people would remember maybe towards the final. line, but there are no games that really stand out for me that I go into, yeah, that was a turning point.

I think it was a combination of many years of hard work. You go back to '99, for example, but what is needed in sport too and I think we do. I'm the first to admit, well, we consider Knighton to have talent, the guys are walking tired, but you need a bit of luck in this game, a lot of breaks and that's even if you remember that even ten-two people manage to equalize the first leg in their semifinal. Juventus should have won the match at Old Trafford. You probably remember the bad memories better than me, but there is a good chance that the game is dead and buried, but what you have to do also in high-level sport and put your memory back together. full tricks and years if United were brilliant every week winning games comfortably no we weren't but what we do would stay in the games.

I would continue to the end again. I would go back to that. It's no coincidence, a lot of unprofessional decisions, etc., and that's it. Honestly, but look, you need a little luck along the way. Have you allowed yourself to admit that having played twelve or thirteen games in the possibility that you have been a more important part than winning the European Cup? Is there an Asterix? in your head, I guess deep down I probably don't feel like I used it now, but that's yeah, but I don't. I don't necessarily want one or two games to try to define my reading career and again I remember thinking. at that point, well, I hope you know the danger in the sports where you go, you'll just know, hopefully come back next year or the year after that and then you'll figure out your careers or I.

I didn't go back to another final. In a sort of semi-final, I think they were Leverkusen games that you think you probably should have won, so when you have these moments you have to try to enjoy them, but when I see other players I know the format has changed. I think again about what you see in the Champions League. “League games, I think they were totally fourteen,” he said, and obviously updating everyone, just the final. I feel like I deserve the medal. It's not strange enough, probably not, but that's not a big deal. In the end, that was the game the way I played.

It was played to the limit. He was always going to get some yellow cards. He was always going to suffer injuries. At some point they would expel me. That's why I played, so I can't choose. and picking and going well, I had a decent career, you had a decent career because I had to play that way, if I remember sometimes the B games, particularly the preseason, yeah, let's just say, for example, preseason or maybe friendly games , unless it really was Addis. I was such a bad player that I had to add one hundred percent to that intensity that the race gave me, so I can't, on the one hand, continue, you know, if I ended up missing a final, but I wouldn't have done it. the race without that, so I can't, you can't have your cake and eat it, you know there would be sacrifices along the way and I was going to be the one missing games.

I was saying that for schools youHey, that's hard, no problem. Listen. I had a good, go away and there was an impact on it. I knew I saw him careless and I stood still. I don't remember. I remember. Don't have. Gary remembers it and he took a bib and it was just rude and he told me. stand up front oh my god okay they added him to the roster and since I was training okay listen I don't know again people think I didn't start and I remember the players after Jesus left , you, you, were. I can, but our last serves, yes, and then we were left there when I broke my foot and then, and strangely enough, we go back to this famous video that I was supposed to make.

I'm going to blame Gary a little for this because I think Gary was forced to do it. the game but I came back, I broke my foot and the coach said do you want to go on holiday and I ended up in Dubai and the United game against Middled was on the hotel television. I'm watching this tonight. I changed this. Gary would be doing a game and I definitely remember that and trade it with Gary. I say, well, I play that game because I'm not here. Every couple of Turks came back every week to analyze the game you just played and MUTV under the United umbrella, so I came back. and to do the milligram what I think was for one or two I think a Middlesbrough one for one or two or something like that so I'm watching the game I should do it so that MUTV can pass you analyze you're going to die I could have done it better or No.

I had to think it was a bit too dramatic. Which is the word? What is it really? What would you feel? It could have been the worst thing you said or what would have crossed the line publicly. I get rid of all of them. I know, I know not, in the first part I'm forced to be critical of myself, but then when the next few days really took off, the video was destroyed and I'm leaving because I remember thinking that and then I said don't tell what I saw in the video and then he joined in and I think because I was buried in my senior year because of carelessness, he definitely had problems with me, he thought I was too strong and he went to him.

Don't know. know and it was definitely a stoppage, there was no escaping that, you know, my time at United Sautés was tension, just my career, remember I fell out with Alex Ferguson and I think he said I'll guide him through me or something on that moment and thieves in Middlesbrough and and in his office and correctly, he knew it, but I was a really important asset to the united man, so I was notoriety because I was trying to see it from his point of view he is 34 years old he is the captain I may be losing my way a little bit my influence on the team even the dog my last my last game was at Anfield with Drew Neilon but I had to defend myself.

I don't think my career was. I was in free fall. I was doing a job in the middle of the park sitting there, which I think I could have done with my eyes closed anywhere because of my experience, then this video started getting really nasty in the media they were like, I said, I'm never going. press this it went to this type of video and finally with Wood Ferguson and then before we know it we are having a heated argument in front of all the players, my only consolation before leaving my United and like I said I look forced to see.

I did get over the Man United producer's line for the video. I received a letter about a weekly newspaper. United tried to find me £5,000 worth of my video. 5,000, believe me, I have been finding a lot more Man United for sending offs. so 5,000 per pair is five, you define 5,000 I have been lazy, that was some kind of small fine and I remember I appealed this. I sold my pen for five thousand. I did it. I've been fine before. I've been good, little one hundred and two thousand. Pounds of it, yeah, I'll take it. They sent me. It should never turn pale.

I think about it. I appeal the fine. I'm sure I believe Ferguson when you're all challenging me. No, but he was. It was not. I didn't pay any fines because I thought the video was okay and the key for me again was skipping some bits here. I ended up watching the video with the players and staff and I remember we were all walking around to watch the video. Listen, Kerry might say something different. I don't remember, welcome to the video with the players I went to. We have to see this because guys, this is not true.

What I'm supposed to talk about about player salaries is that there's no interest in other people's salaries. It's none of my business, yes, but I think United were given those things. Oh, I think the United machine was like, come on, you know, especially with the World Cup after Saipan, people were saying, yeah, let's just paint a picture, people need to look at the facts and We finished and I went. Can we see the video? This video was destroyed and we watched the video and I remember looking to continue. I hope it's not as bad as I think.

Yes, and when I saw it it was good. I did not do it. I thought for a minute it was out of order. I did not do it. I thought thank God and then the coach told all the players that we were in his office and he became a larva and if you have a problem, I think Fletch said something or maybe you. It might have been a little easy for the lord, but not by two grand. All his players go now. We know we arrived. They beat us by one or two. I had to make the video.

It could have been Gary's. It could have been me who kept making a game. we had won what I was supposed to say are the last great plays we lost four 104 - sure we did and then it was when and before you know it it was carelessness he said something to me I told him where to go and then the madness came again For everything This, your honor, but I am an experienced player. He was 34 years old at the time, a week or two after his game because he was due to play a reserve game. Alex because he would let me play, so I called his lawyer and I remembered it.

I, my lawyer, believe it was a Friday morning. Mrs. Adam had a hotel near the airport. She came from London and she said what is this meeting about? They called me to see it and I said no, I probably want to get rid of it. I couldn't believe it and Michael was a smart guy and good at negotiating, you don't know my contracts. United. I think you know he had a lot of respect. So let's look at United. Michael and I, this is around nine. On the dot, the players office played on the train on Friday we were playing.

I think Charlton around Saturday. I can't stop if I make a mistake or with my finish. So I walk into an office. They are your questions. I go to an office David kills all the Alex Ferguson I work with Alex Forbes for 12 and a year they, if I wanted to say well, listen, our days are numbered, your contract, understand where we share cancer, no problem, I will survive, no you worry. It's low I think we've reached the end and I remember looking. I am no longer. My lawyer icon is gone. Michael from White and says yes, we have made a statement conveyed through the statement that we would like. thank you for 11 and a half years of service and maybe I'll let you know that I've been here 12 and a half years you know this is true these are all the paths to the game you know what to do and they are under his control they looked at each other David Gilliland Ferb I left oh I see yes I can unfreeze the year we asked ourselves twice as much you know well and they said you and Michael will give you a ministry service of Michael 5 or whatever and I said well if I leave I can I sign for someone, I'm Menorcan Forbes who would be fired and this is a Friday.

Remember to go, forget about the payments and all that and left my lawyer, I could get a Michael when what you write in this was, yeah, come on. out of here, yes, of course, this is enough and what I should have is not a solution, I should have done a stupid task, I should have found out if I could sign for a team because, ultimately, this was what I think and a member still coming back from my broken 40's. I wasn't up to date. Later in the office I found out that I couldn't go to a club that weekend in January which caused problems due to my fitness levels and that was the end of it and I remember I went home and I was home and the whole half It's not there, it's not like I was delayed for the day and of course you and Michael stayed there, he was fulfilling the contract.

I remember Michael touching the arm and saying that United apparently has cash flow problems in terms of money. an hour they can last, you know, listen, you know, man United, the cash flow problems do me a favor and that was it, but then all the other things that came after, like I had done something really bad, but as much as I. I'm not someone who holds a grudge. No, now I wouldn't forgive Ferguson for that, no, and I can tell you the strength if he shot him. God, listen to Mike Cohen. January is not going to be a problem and then obviously you leave Dundas as the kind of media spin-off, I thought I would post rant and rant and annoy everyone, they did all that nonsense, but listen, I've been down that road before on that in the office, right Gary, I'll bring it to you in a second, so it was one it was another player said something I remember otherwise Edwin van der Sar said then Edwin had been at the door for about two minutes anyway neither even in the club in the memory we do interviews left right said and a member when devices guys I have a new problem when you could have said that, I said yes, maybe, but they weren't, yes, we don't have any problem and Edwin had the hand up.

We were Riya. I think you might have been an Edwin. I think I told him. I told him to shut up, honey, even in this club, two minutes, you have done more interviews than you could in the last two months than I have done when I was twelve and a half years old, so he was the only one who received a bit of stick in the meeting, yes, to To be fair, and you in your book, and then Gary, please come in, mate, Harry probably says otherwise, well, maybe yes, in yours, in your own book, although you know I have some questions, yeah, yeah, well, then come in right after, but you wouldn't grant your own book any better than yours, honestly, I know, I'm sure, can I?

Just because you would say you turn to now. Is it just a point to make Cena more important than a point? Do it, be silent for a second, so at the beginning of the season, at the beginning of this season, I saw this happen with David Beckham during a six to eight month period at United, that's what happened, you know . Usually it's a problem, it can be other players. I think with Roy as a coach there was always a challenge that this would come to this, it was a possibility that this would come to this because I said before that they were absolute mirrors of each other, relentless.

I wouldn't back down from anything stubborn, but not in a way that's negative, but incredibly senior. You know, his point of view remained firm. They had to be sure of it with authority in the preseason. We went to Portugal and Roy was staying at a resort. the way we got to the resort down the road literally half a mile away about a mile away the whole team was staying at their resort up the road not the one going there where his brother didn't stay at the resort but for this reason he didn't They didn't steal, they are not their families and they returned to their families at night, no, no, so the antia is not so correct, so basically Roy was staying at a resort cooking for Largo and the team was staying at a CoreValve resort.

Loeb, when he came and she fed, I think his Villa was not satisfactory, yes, I was like it was my wife and my five children, yes, so you hope that after meeting him, he would basically come back to stay at the resort, like this that that was The first thing that happened in the preseason I was actively training Leroy for about six weeks in the gym before this happened, it was building up, it was building up, things were happening where you could see this moment was coming and on the day of the meetings that Roy mentions I mean the ice SWAT with him I bought to do that MUTV thing in Middlesbrough and I exchanged it with him because I was injured, he was injured and I don't know how it happened, but we exchanged .

Basically, we were both injured, but we left or something anyway, the coach came down to the locker room and the moment he said, you know you need to watch the video, everyone needs to watch the video and you said yes. come on let's go upstairs I thought that's it and I only knew you I knew Roy I knew the manager he knew the manager I just thought that was it there was no way he was going to step back there was no way the manager was going to go I'm going to give take a step back, there were things that were said in that room, to be honest with you, I thought there was a moment where he talked to Carlos and I think he said something to the manager, I remember no, no, it's up to you Say what whatever you mean I and I just think I thought no, there's no way this isn't going to continue.

I hoped I could. I think Roy makes a comment earlier. That is absolutely true. I think because I believe. If Roy had been 2728 at the level of play, he probably was at 27 28. I think he said things when he was 27 28 that could be considered unacceptable, but I think at 34 he was coming to an end and I told him ask. I know the manager got rid of Roy Keane, the player, after that meeting. I think you would know. I think he would meet someone young, but he wouldn't let it come to that. No. I think you can come as a player.

I think so. that meeting was horrible by the way, I wantbefore and maybe you felt like you were better that you had more to give to the game, yeah, I knew that, did you know that people would see it? there is a contradiction, so when you move and rise, yes, I am a contradiction, so no problem, no, yes, I still have sauce, but I do it. Sometimes I do the TV song because I don't want to do it if that makes sense sometimes. you have to go and get out of the comfort zone. I could be sitting at home again.

I missed the locker room. I loved the dressing room. He will have been involved. What happens to the party with your work? I love Dollar, he was brilliant at getting the job done. when the games came around I walked with brilliant players like Seamus Coleman etc so when I watch TV it's just about getting back to doing something different, a different experience outside of football, but when people talk about my poetry, I think I've made two games. In the last year, as intimidating as it may be for a second, I've been making a lot of games.

I live in the studio. I think I've enjoyed, obviously, been involved in football, not a farce in recent months, but from time to time, I particularly won't do it. work I'll immerse myself in TV because you have to keep yourself busy um, would it be with the sky? Oh, right, and I also like to watch football games, no, when I was with Walker, obviously, the crazy one and what Ireland is on many of my trips. and the trips to see the players were in the championship, not hearing that can get on your nerves, also the champions championship is not great, so when I have the opportunity to watch TV, for example, if I watch a match United, it's Liverpool, I like watching good teams, so there's a selfish side to it, let's do a bit of TV walking and what you'd think is what's the problem with that pretty simple, yeah, so why not do more because you are clearly?

God probably knows I'll probably build on the next few months because I'm not going to work, obviously I have bills to pay, so yeah, a gun every week. No, I don't want to do too much either. I would hate to be labeled as a TV guy. expert, particularly when I'm looking to get back into management, but if companies get in touch here, I've obviously always enjoyed working for ITV so I have a bit of loyalty. towards them when they asked me and obviously Sequoia is good for watching Premiership games especially tonight like I said Chelsea live against Man City or again from a selfish point of view it's good to see decent games so that I will definitely play more games in the next ones. months, but from what I've seen in my mind, I obviously still want to try to become a manager again.

I think I'm going to put the tree or I know what Roy is saying in a fairy. I agree with him because you always feel that way. We're outside the game, essentially managers and coaches are always so management, players are always the most important people, but when you think about being a pundit and you think about the fact of being a pundit in the Premier League. At England matches there are about seven pundits 2 or 3 on BT 3.or 4 on Sky of all the Premier League, so in the sense that you know Roy could obviously play in Premier League games.

You could do international matches because it is convincing on television. You know, I'm on Sky. I was there for seven years. We can rule out that kind of eyes, just the experts, because what matters is that we played United for a long time. That was the most important thing and, obviously, being a coach is the most important of everything else, but everyone would want to do what we know, everyone would want to do what we are doing after finishing a football career, which only appears on television, there are six seven people how thousands and thousands of players make Premier League football matches in England so you have to be pretty good honestly it sounds crazy the idea that you can articulate a message to millions of fans. understand what you know you've seen in a way that you know is good for them and they enjoy it, it's not easy.

I've seen very good coaches, very good coaches, brilliant coaches and players, everyone, oh, it's easy to be a pond, that's the Brilliant coaches and players do interviews, come and make ponds in a tree and they're not very good at sitting. , yeah, so I think we can say that putting up the trees easier, I don't think it's a bee, maybe it will come. easy to walk because we are comfortable we were at United we have eight of us you are Roy talks about that Middlesbrough game just before we left essentially if we lost the game on MUTV at that time it would be me or Roy essentially maybe someone else who would do the play in which we are lost would be named senior player because we were able to play bass, they are dealing with that, you know, that type of loss or if an interview after a game where we lost a match, you didn't know that you wouldn't put other players , so we were charging that fee the night so I would say you reflect, she just came in some simpler way, same with England, England lost the game in the tournament.

I always spoke because I felt comfortable because there was no problem with it, so I think it's not easy to be an expert. I think you know there's not a lot of people who do it and a lot of people who do it well don't do it. It's very good yes I don't think I said it was easy what was my point I don't think it's a bloodhound I think it's a bloodhound and that's why you get out of your own comfort zone and God listen if it makes you a little bit nervous then I think that's good too try doing something a little different to what you normally do there's nothing wrong i think josie is doing it right now hey jolzi since he left he was knighted he's traveled to see different types of football i think he went to the esky television studio because i think he remembered towards the end in sky josie he became quite critical of the experts he got very involved with them it was almost like he was, you know, war with the experts, I think basically, you know , said something right before the first show they did a few weeks ago that he felt like he wanted to come and understand from that other side because I was a manager for a very short period of time and that can make you paranoid. when you say things about yourself you think it's personal you think they're persecuting you you think everyone hates you you think there are people basically enjoying your suffering You never really know there was never a point where you sat in a studio where you criticize someone you think I'm really enjoying criticizing, I don't really want to say that there may be some people who have that character, but I never really feel that way.

Are you done with management in your head? I chose to go to the emergency room. I should never have said yes to the job. I wasn't qualified to do the job. I didn't wake up every day and think about training from the moment I finished playing football. I had too many things. I was doing heaven stuff I was writing an article for a newspaper I was doing all the stuff in Manchester that I was doing with Salford and stuff, your managers have to be 100 per cent committed, we talked about commitment before you. I know as a player why that's absolutely the case, it's more important as a coach that you commit, that you think about it, that you know that you're immersed in what you're doing every day and I wasn't around much beyond the time I went to work with England. , which was essentially almost ten days a month.

I wasn't thinking about training. I was at the training ground every day doing sessions. I wasn't in the club every day doing things I had no right to be. a successful coach actually, to be fair, in some respects he obviously won thanks to Peter at Valencia and he invested in the projects in Manchester and Salford. I felt partly that I did it because you know he asked me to do it and as part of an elite and not a loyalty, but a loyalty that I said, okay, apparently I'll do it a little bit, but my contract with England came from the end , five, the boy's contract, partly maximum, reached the end until the end after five. months partly a bit of selfishness in terms of everything, let's try it, type five, so what do I have to lose?

I don't feel like I lost anything even though people would level it and their people would throw me away all the time, but I made huge mistakes, they were simple mistakes, you know, not getting rid of players who weren't committed and who wanted to lead the club. . Yes, I was a 40-something Englishman who didn't speak the language and didn't understand the league. I didn't understand Valencia or the rest of the things and I surrounded myself with three coaches who were also young and didn't understand those things, three of us didn't understand, the four didn't speak Spanish, it's just meaningless decisions to be the first, so I made huge mistakes. and I sat on TV to be fair judging, you know, players and systems and everything else for two or three years, but it got to the point where I really lost my confidence over the last, say, six weeks of work until the point where it was like a top.

I honestly didn't know which voice player I should choose, which systems I played, you know it everywhere and I have to say from that point. From my point of view it was through the bad decisions that are made, but I should not have said no to the job, I should have never accepted the job and I found everything in my life, everything that I am doing this year. I'm going to think and do in the next three years: going for tea tomorrow night and the instinctive decisions I made in a nightclub or restaurant in Manchester when taking the job in Valencia have all failed three or four times every time I have made an instinctive decision that has no thought that has no thought there is a bit of ego driven that of course I can make it fail so be it a lesson it is a huge lesson those things have happened to me in the last two or three years, but I'm okay in terms of, you know, it's a good thing.

I feel like it's a good thing for me now because then the idea of ​​going back into management now, why would there be thousands and hundreds? and thousands of coaches thought about their job every minute of every day and Gary Neville plays some kind of rock artist, yeah I'll be a coach, no yeah, management is obviously a brutal business. Roy and Gary are proof positive of this and they like what they do. It's been true of your managerial career since the incredible first year success at Sunderland, these things never end well, we thought back to that moment with Ireland in Lille and nothing can get better and it still doesn't end well, do you ever think like Kerry?

Kerry is thinking it's just not worth it. I review some type of are you addicted to management? Oh, I wouldn't say I'm addicted to management, but I definitely want to have another chance, you know, at any time, I wonder which one. Brilliant hips, which obviously there are some positive aspects, obviously came down to a disappointment. I loved the stuff for Ireland. I enjoyed a few months of the forests even with the mountains, but I definitely want to try it again and I also live in the real world. You know that no. I don't think Real Madrid will call me, you know, I think I have a way up and unless it's the right opportunity, in the meantime I'll just walk away and see what happens to them, yeah, I hope something comes. because there's something good, it's back in my songwriting right now where I definitely want to know how it breaks down and see where it takes us.

You haven't really spoken. I haven't thought about the end with Ireland since then. finished, how did you find out? Martin O'Neill, yes, you know these things in the last game of the weekend, when we realized these new hair things, you smell things too, you just feel something coming, but again, I have all this idea of ​​losing your job and this firing and ending all those things doesn't scare me, that's partly the industry we're in, like any time I've even lost my job or left a job I had. I've never been so angry. I just thought, well, you know, this is something you might get a little angry about if you think you've been treated badly.

Myself with the Irish job, I loved every minute of it over and over again, rather than something like that. I think we probably deserve it. I think we deserved another chance, but we had some brilliant years and, strangely enough, people were still saying to me: Sorry, it didn't work out. What Ireland did and I thought it was brilliant. I taught it with two proper campaigns that we call fighting. Okay, we made the playoffs and your team. I think of all the Irish coaches who don't do Irish football. We need a decent place towards the end when you're losing one or two players and whatever on me.

Definitely not, my man was treated harshly; no, there's no doubt about that, but obviously, when there's a lot of negativity, there's a lot of effects and I also knew when, when, when, our kind of salary was finally when Dennis O'Bryan stopped doing it. We paid our salaries, I said that the man that I, Myron, as soon as we hit any kind of sticky snow, will definitely disappear and when we were lacking the players that we were, he relied oncomplete and I think that might have been one of the last games, John. I had him because again, whatever program he's in wasn't working because he ended up with a knee problem just two years old.

You'll see John soon. I have no idea, probably not now. I suspect I gave it the best I could. I'll be sure I promise. Pay me a visit to my house a few years ago and I'm still waiting and I gave him the address. Good friend John, you said they were about the next step and a return to administration, for who, for you and some who. he said this no you were saying right there but potentially giving it back you're not waiting you're not waiting you said this yes you're not waiting waiting for a call from Real Madrid soon not from Valencia I have a soldier I have to come I'm just very sure I got the call of a bridge, yes, yes, yes.

A good part of you thinks you know, I know, hit me, that was never going to happen, not with them, I think there's someone selling the background, they're having a sale. No, I was brilliant for an assessment again in sport, we need a bit of luck, but there was a moment and it was brilliant for Ali, so it would be saying with Lampard. I think he was at Chelsea at the right time. Lee Lenin leaves. Getting back to something, you need some breaks in this game and maybe I'll have a chance. I don't think I'm going to have it, so please God, something might come up.

Do you intend to go out on your own now or would you go? Back somewhere with Martin, no, no, no, I think obviously, after his adventures with me, a man discussed it many times when Overland, the Royals shot me an international football and the board of directors agreed, even before of Maryland going up into the woods, which we probably wouldn't. shoot me being an assistant at club level so when I was in the woods the plan was that a mechanic contract had worked out that I would probably go there during the summer just to try it out but I knew if I came back at a club he has to be the manager It's that simple, but I do not sleep in a loyalty to the mountain.

I didn't think Matt would leave so quickly after I left, but after some sort of monitoring, I learned that the assistant managers were all club level. It didn't really suit me, it was fine, but Ireland doesn't have a problem because obviously we're not together every day etc, but the club stuff now, yeah, I would definitely have to go back and be a coach, and you know, you talk about the locker room. modern all this kind of stuff do you feel like you have to bite your tongue when you come back in? Do you feel like you have to adapt the way you would like to handle the things you would like to say?

I'm intrigued by people who talk about my role in the locker room, particularly people who have never been in the locker room with me. It's amazing what people think I do in the locker room. Yes, you know. I usually kill three people in a weekend. but I'm pretty drunk in the locker room, believe me man, this image is hard to shake off, I know, but you asked an EDA player who was with me for a long time, he even never lied to stone the liver there for one or two years, honestly. quite relaxed even my time with him, which people almost write me off for that, but listen, it was an additional tip that I think the markets are a little different or what Ireland but enjoy, but I did, this might surprise you, dog .

I made mistakes, yes of course, a Hatter, Gary was in a board area, whatever industry you're learning about and you're obviously trying to get better at it, but I don't think I need to take it that far away from what I guess. my traitor because my traits have taught me very fair, but do I absolutely have to improve on certain aspects of my management skills? I have made mistakes and I hope to learn from it. I'm strange enough. He would probably make many more mistakes. but again it's discouraging for a second when I'm working with players in a conference room or on the train and on the field, obviously, Gary in the middle and actually I think relaxed when I walk with the players I put demands on him, of course.

I do, but I feel like I've gotten to the point where people are telling me, you know, I was too demanding, like I should almost apologize for it, especially when I'm in court and all the normal people are saying or modern people Players don't like that. I don't do it all the time. If you do it every day, Alex continues. Every day people talk about the hair dryer. try to find the right moment for the players to use a pumpkin at that time people thought I was testing John Walters a Harrier you are trying something you are trying to motivate people and something that sometimes you are more in Vietnam You are wrong, some player enjoyed it, yes you know, I enjoyed it, I enjoyed it, add a heated discussion, whatever you say, but obviously I can choose, but other players react, you go, I think again , Barbie John. and Harry at that time or, obviously, the Indian War, you know, maybe there were problems, guys, because sometimes I would step back and be a little bit glad that I got that so drastically wrong with a situation that is maybe , but an informant didn't, maybe I did, maybe I did. but I think maybe they were wrong, maybe they overreacted because sometimes when managers I say, Brian Clough, these are great managers, Brian Clough, you talk more about the French, that's often when the document hit me after a game one night with Crystal.

Palace in the club I know, slam and it's funny to shine like a genius, did I take it that badly? I just said no, I was upset, he did it, I got hit and I'm thinking that's what you're brilliant at. The manager and I, Kim, came the next year and trained and I didn't text anyone in the media, I called anyone, I went on wax app or Twitter, whatever they had, it says someone hit me , except the managers were angry, you take it, you take it. players take it so that I don't change my habits for anyone and it's you and you are on the board or in the house so that everyone comes back in as if a job wasn't coming.

I was very lucky. Definitely a girl when I look at my career. One day I finished with the Loki guys on the planet and I'm never bored and now I'm never home. I have something to do if you have five children. It keeps you busy. I have a couple of dogs, my wife, I have some odd jobs, but I'm never bored. I'll stay busier. I'll go see someone or come back to Ireland quite often. Doesn't the car see the games I have? croc Parker look how watching rugby never gets me bored. I am very lucky in my life.

Honestly, I know I have complaints and this idea I have. I need to get back in the game because I might go crazy. No, no, no, that wouldn't be right. Do you ever come back to Ireland, yes, yes, I think so. I think I literally have that talk. I think every day, really, yeah, yeah. I think that's it, it's always there um, but I have to look at the bigger picture, so you have me my family, but them. You're growing up now and yes I think there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think you'll eventually return to Ireland of course I know you think that if it was an amazing time in England obviously is there ever a certain sadness when I think now He's my age.

I spent most of my life away from home. They are not at home. Where is that? I think obviously when you get a little older, people associate it with nostalgia. Yes. I feel homesick every day, especially for him. It's very strange, so yeah. Dude, but I also know that football in England gave me a great life and it gave my family a great life and my family in Cork I got my blessings for that and I'm just around the corner too, it's not like I'm in Australia. so I can get back to what I've done in the last few months, especially the last few months.

I guess when I'm not walking, I love it, I love getting back to the boss. I have a little freedom. I don't answer to anyone. You're talking about television. I can dip in and out of TV and honestly, I've been blessed. Very, very lucky content. I wouldn't get out of there. Wouldn't you laugh? It's a dangerous word. use it yeah you always fight like that often yeah but obviously I'm worried about not getting into a comfort zone where you think life is Korea and I just sit back and do nothing you have to stay busy like me.

I said, I look at certain games, look at your own clubs, where I think I think that club would suit me or whatever. No, I'm not sitting around waiting for coaches to lose their jobs. No, yes, but there. There are certain clubs that I look at, I have, I think I would like to maybe do something with that group of players, but I also have to do it again. I'll get back to that. I may never get it back. You may never have a job opportunity. Videos When jobs come up, I am rarely, but never, linked to jobs, so it's not like I am.

I don't think clubs or successful president executives have me at the top of their list, but what I would like to do. I guess sometimes it's getting the chance to talk to a club, even if they don't give me the job they interviewed me for for the last few years and they went with someone else and that's fine, but you want to have the chance to try to sell yourself, Look someone in the eye and obviously you do well in the interview, so I hope to have that opportunity in a few months, but I'm not afraid either.

If it doesn't happen I'll be fine, it's Ireland. the job is still an ambition, who knows the danger for me, knows that people talk about you and it is unfair because no matter what I say about Irish work or the Irish situation, it is unfair in the position I would make at this time with a manager and Robbie the people don't even get along with it either they leave him and let them see how they are doing him good luck and if Jackie ever comes back who knows where I am in the pecking order things have happened more fun, but we'd say it's obviously set up for the next few years with Mick McCarthy on and off, this rather unusual succession plan where Stephen Kenney comes in one of the many unusual things that have happened in Irish football in the past .

Yeah, let's see how it plays out. oh, you know, I could walk, oh, very well, who knows again. One thing, I don't think any of us can do veneers, predict the future, you know, we don't know what's going to happen with the wrong results or races, so I can do it. Don't go to bed every night thinking you know how that job gets to earth. Work gives people good luck and you see how they are doing and if they win football games they will be fine and if they didn't they did everything. We would be under pressure like everyone else.

Have you followed what's happening at the FBI? You know what's really not mine? I guess that's the only thing I can say about what's going on with the FBI and the last few years. when I was with them I loved it, I talked to a lot of good people there, obviously I will know things that I probably have no idea about, but I love the time, there are some really good people to watch, some good employees and other people. Deep down, you know I'm a genuine footballer and people, whatever we say, football is a great game, so I've taken a step back, I've had my time, there's no point in getting involved, I guess in the politics of the issue. um, but you wait. they become true and I'm sure they will be and everyone can learn from it because you know nobody's perfect to rap will be here practically in our life and he said that still doesn't keep you well, your f in Saipan before.

Without going into that, he said, he said those kinds of things that don't cross your mind, you know you mentioned that you get cork every day with that cross, remember often at this stage, is it still raw? What could have happened? It could have happened. I guess what I really don't, I'm again, I think it's important for people to look at if people look at the facts, did he make the facts? At the core, I talk about management, mana management, dealing with players, if a coach is going to step up in front of a group of players and staff and I don't make accusations against any player, whatever it may be. , Robbie or fool or whoever, there will be problems.

You're done with managing and forming a group and again, I don't know how many games we played to qualify for the World Cup. Could someone tell me in the audience or Google it or whatever. I think it might have been with the playoff games. I think it was between twelve or fourteen. I think it was what fourteen, right. I think I missed a game. I think I missed it, thanks Mick. I think I missed a match I think yes someone might think I missed a match and then at the Evita World Cup there is a meeting with all the players don't forget to equip Nala because everything was already fixed or I'll die tired of repeating myself to everyone Those things and you're sitting with a group of players that you're traveling next year on your Fisher train and there's a meeting and a call in front of everyone and they exactly get accusations against me for missing a game in everything. campaign, you know what he expects from him, no, it's a big loss for you to give up in that World Cup, does anyone ever think?

Oh, he should have played in that World Cup and gotten out of the situation, although he wishes he had. In a way, it all worked out that way, of course, but then again I know that it takes two to tango and I have to become your father,on Monday and it was good, but I think because I think you know. As a younger player who was a younger player at the time, probably 20-23 years old, you either let it rot and then it evolved into something that was bigger than it actually was or you fixed it at the time and I think no, yes, a similar situation to us, Giggsy.

I think at one point, and maybe other players, there were times where I had to remember how they came in one morning, that's the two thing, we're probably first thing in the morning, like eight o'clock or something like that. I remember Giggsy started an argument around 8 o'clock and I was listening to it thinking oh this isn't cool, I'll go get my breakfast. About 27 minutes went by and they were still saying oh this, he's not going, but then it was resolved after a couple of months, so you know, I mean, this is a couple, you mean the moments that happened like that, but then There were certain players who didn't know, didn't you know?

It just rotted away and moved on, it wasn't just Roy by the way, there were other things, all the relationships in the dressing room where this happened. You know Andy Cole and Teddy Sheringham and you know their other relationships, like it was in the dressing room where you knew that with the rest of the players you start to get by there, but it was usually because of a lack of understanding, tolerance or awareness of where the limits were. From each person's point of view, that's essentially what it was and I, personally, from one point of view, never had a problem.

In fact, like I said before, I just thought I'd do it pretty simply. I never chose the teammates I was in the locker room with, but I knew that what I had felt was that I had to move forward with everything I felt. In every play he did, he was that kind of person. I felt like he needed to, you know, not be friends. He wasn't friends with anyone other than the guys you know he was with. I don't go out for a drink with any of them, the other guys who weren't like I say, fill our backs or scalzi or all laugh, but I felt like there had to be that kind of because I think in the tough times, you know, in the seasons I thought The Spirit was awesome and the nights out were awesome when they happened it was an awesome Christmas party or preseason night or the night we were in the league for me people say what the best moments were In my career, there were those moments. there the things that I miss are actually the things that I miss I don't miss football I don't miss being in the locker room I don't miss training I do miss those moments of camaraderie where you're basically all hanging out together, they're having a good time, they're enjoying it, so if they won the trophy, is it basically a Christmas party or do I miss those moments?

Roy would probably say something different, maybe he doesn't miss those moments, right, but I did. He fell on top of me. I felt like sometimes in pre-season we would go out and the team would get together on the most incredible night, the spirit of the day, the afternoon training and the next day was incredible and I thought you are something you can do. Maybe I knew we were Invincibles, I knew it very well, we had seen everything about each other, you know, falling all over the place, being sick, whatever he was doing, you know, by the way, you know me too, No, it's true, no, I remember once to be fair.

I think 18 19 out of the golden rice ball and I ate on the cross in Manchester lying down before I got sick and I remember being fair. Beck's and Ben thought about Chris Kasper taking me home and all that stuff you think, but there were times when you came. together and they could tell those stories about each other to the next he lived off those stories for the next two months in the dressing room together that union of people through which I just know that's what made us capable football made us unbeatable but to be fair, I missed those moments and from an ROI standpoint, in the last 25 minutes I've heard a lot of this today, you know, today has taught me a lot of stories that I find compelling. , simply compelling to listen to.

He told me a story about Mattie Taylor trying to say I'm a tea tailor for Sunderland. I thought it was amazing. I was laughing. I need to count. I think you need to count. That story was absolutely incredible. Barry actually. You are talking about his experiences in management, where you know that I prefer similar experiences at Valencia with England, so you simply think of incredible experiences that sometimes I do not recognize to be fair the description of Roy Keane or David Beckham or Wayne Rooney. I don't recognize it, actually sometimes I don't recognize the actual description of them and all the moments where they might have done something individual, but really from a 99.9 percent point of view at the time I was with them during a football career it's not them, it's not them as people you know, Roy at home would be completely different to Roy, you can be the locker room or Roy on the field or the same with all of us and the scrutiny on these individuals is because were the best players the most famous players the players got the best story come back with George better come back with all the players of our great careers are the best players the best players on the plane for the biggest Club I Trump everyone has an obsession in Dublin on the pitch in Thailand in Singapore in Manchester in London everywhere that's why Paul Pogba is now the obsession because he is the biggest player in the biggest club of which he is a World Cup Winner and it should be a compliment that people talk about him.

I don't see it when I criticize Paul Pogba, like when I criticize Paul Pogba after the penalty incident against Wolves. I don't see it any different to the criticism of, say, Roy Keane or David Beckham or Wayne Rooney, the best player, the leader, the international matches in the team will continue and he will take the brunt of the criticism, as will the coach will do it with the coach, won't it be like that with the assistant coach? He will not be the left winger, nor the right back, nor the left back, with a player who is the team's number one and that has never changed.

He's not a, you don't know, but I'm sure Paul Pogba, you know, I spoke. with people and he apparently he's a great guy, he trains well, you know he wants to, you know, he's a very good person. He had suits, where was he in the club with him when he was young? So when people criticize him or put pressure on him. him or apply pressure to him is because he is the best, he is the shining light, he is the Bryan Robson of the eighties, now United is in trouble, people hung everything on Bryan Robson, everyone now hangs a lot on Paul Pogba, but that's the pressure he wants, he wants to be the best player in the world, so now show us that you are the best player in the world.

He leads this team that is young and inexperienced, he doesn't have the best of what he needs to know. leaders and characters on the field and I said it two weeks ago to be fair on television, it would be great if he was considered the player of the year this year, the Player of the Year, what does he need to do to take Manchester United up there? the champions league win the european league take them forward Tekkit is your responsibility in this club for 12 months and you will be the best player in the league and one of the best players in the world that is what I want from Paul Pogba that is what I want from him because I think He's capable of doing it, I think He's capable of doing it, I have faith in Him to do it, but then I look at this incident like wolves and that disappoints me, that disappoints me, so He has to do it.

Take the flak for that, we have to get this over with, unfortunately, we've been with my tailoring for a long time, is it the details that got me ready for fall? Yeah, it probably won't be as fun here as it was on the flight. this morning Appa Sunderland, blah blah blah, trying to get the players to Sunderland, everything was difficult, his wife didn't want to go there because they wanted to go shopping, they did, they finally got Matty Taylor up, the babies They were, I think Portsmouth and he wasn't. On this occasion, I think going to Sunderland from Bolton, so I met him at the stadium, in the boardroom, he attacked me for about an hour's talk and he said: I love big decisions, of course, you take your time. , a big decision or what you didn't make a care package while we were walking, he says listen oi ug Susan, thanks for the talk, he said yes, take your time, a big decision, understand that for your family, no problem.

Bolton Sunderland with Bolton there is no comparison, but it is in Baltimore, it is not bad. team at that moment I saw him walking to his car he says listen great, thanks for coming, I literally turn my back on him, I mean I got a text, not many people text me, so this is a rice, Maddie Taylor, it's okay, I have my down, I think it was a blackberry at a time when they were and I went there I could see him taking out his car I decided to run away and I'm waving without my cap joining rings betting now on a risk -First copy of free security up to 100 euros.
