Manchester United’s NEW Director David Brailsford Gives His Honest Opinion On Sir Alex Ferguson

Brailsford joining United is one of the best things to happen to us in recent history. He's very knowledgeable. I think him and Ten Hag will work miracles together. They speak the same language regarding high performance.

[@info0]

the problem is ten Hag didn't show anything to make him stay. He is out of his depth to be Man Utd manager. He is stubborn. He plays same players day in day out. His favoritism is very obvious. He quarrels and has conflicts with players who were for entire career problem free like Casemiro, De Gea, Varane... Even Cristiano fills the bill. Guy should be sacked. I don't see anything in him what would make me back him up 100%. Plus our performances has been awful this season. If not for McTominay who won us 6 pts, we would have been below Chelsea...

[@browniebear]

​@@info0Precisely, Erik Ten Hag is not a serious person. He's demonstrated that he is not fit for the job especially this season. Ratcliffe, Brailsford, Barrada and company will especially recognize this truth. Even if EtH was performing well (which he's not), he'd still probably get axed anyway because new regimes always prefer having their own appointments to build their eras.

I'm 47 so when Man United started getting good around 1991, I was only 15 years old. From that time all the way to 2013 (23 years) all I had seen was Man United being the best team and when they weren't the best, they were 2nd or god forbid, 3rd! We always finished in the top 4 in those years. I am exactly the same as the interviewer where I didn't know what it was like to see my team be mediocre, but for the last 10 years that's all I have seen. It just made me realize how incredible Alex Ferguson was and how tough it is to be the best in this sport, even just for 1 or 2 years, let alone the huge expanse of time Alex Ferguson was doing it.

[@InspirationalVault]

The way steven put it the question is so true that we took it for granted the success we had at the fergie time.

[@oftheuchihaclan8325]

I was saying exactly this to my friend the other day. Success was so assured, I used to wish not to win league titles so that we signed the players we wanted. Between 2010 and 2012, Man City, Barcelona, Bayern and to an extent Arsenal played exhilarating passing football. Man Utd were not interested those days in sprinjng passes together to carve open team. It was all gung ho, attack at speed, transitional and deadly finishing. Those days even though we were winning I thought 'Glazers won't buy top players if Sir Alxe keeps getting to UCL finals and winning the prem' so in 2012, I wished we didn't win the league, and call me crazy but I was happy Man City won it that year because I knew we would get a reaction in the transfer market. Low and behold, we signed arguably the best number 9 in the world and Kagawa who was the best player in the Bundesliga. We had a fantastic and exciting season, playing insane football with Rooney, Van Persie, Kagawa, Valencia, Scholes, Giggs etc And won the league in perfect fashion with that Van Persie volley vs Villa. Did I think we would go 10+ years with no title at the time, unthinkable.

[@JamesHussain82]

That 2013 season, we missed on mordric, though we got a surprise signing of RVP. I still remember the gut feeling I had when he signed for real Madrid until today. I can't imagine a bigger miss than that since I supported United from 02/03 season.

He is not financially driven as a primary and having known people who work for him, He is a different type of character to most in the football world.

[@iang.1676]

Interesting initial conversation about achieving vs sustaining team success. Teams succeed, in part, because team members are willing to sacrifice individual success to benefit the team. Once the team achieves success, however, team members are often less willing or unwilling to sacrifice further in order to sustain the team’s success. On the contrary, team members expect much more for themselves as a result of the team’s success. More money, more attention, more shots, etc. even if it is quite clear that granting these individual demands to everyone is unsustainable and will be to the detriment of the team. Pat Riley, one of the most successful NBA coaches and executives, called it the “Disease of Me” or the “Disease of More.”

football is not cycling hope you know what you are getting yourself into, i like what he said about sir alex changing things and hopefully he has the vision and the ruthlessness to do what needs to be done, rashford needs to be sold but will these guys do it or will the player still have the power

[@FootysGrand11]

All these people saying Ten Hag doesn’t know how to manage big stars. Alex Ferguson knew exactly what to do….. get rid of them. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Trust in Ten Hag, trust the process

Manchester United and football in general is a complete different thing and another level of a monster. Good addition but he's gonna realize it.

[@RandomVideosFirst]

What I find absolutely remarkable is the fact that when SAF and David Gill left no one whether it be Woodward or the glazer thought filling that void with expertise between the manager and the board (140 scouts on united pay role crazy compared to 40 at city)as in best in class to compensate for the vacuum that was left when SAF especially left. Sure he had scouts but its shocking that whoever appointed Moyes didn't think he needed help when it came to recruitment at a higher level.

[@FEDEXLuchs]

Ragnick was suppose to fill that role.. but the board didnt liek someone shaming them for doing a shit job

[@Obetv01]

When you see football boards appointing Wayne Rooney to take them forward, then nothing and I mean, Nothing should surprise you about British football. Super Ed Woodward filled that void left by David Gill. And he knew how to find Noodles partners. Which might have helped with FFP I suppose. Then there was Phil Neville. Probably the same way Kodak and Blockbuster never saw the impending doom

I think Manchester United will be the toughest challenge for him. There are so many problems especially, mentality of the players and limited budget because of the Glazers. I hope as a united fan he will succeed.

I'm a cycling fan so I've followed Brailsford's career right through from British Cycling to the Team Sky and then Ineos days. I can assure you guys that he has an ferocious, almost psychopathic desire to win and be successful.

I'm excited regarding these structural changes that are happening within the club. It's been long overdue. Ratcliffe, Brailsford, Blanc, Ashworth, Mitchell, Ten Hag all working together running & managing the club we'll see a proper run football club with proper people that know what they're doing which let's be honest we haven't had since SAF & David Gill. It's gonna take time & patience to clear up the horrendous mess others have left the club in & that's where us fans need to be patient

Brailsford is a winner, he doesn't accept anything less !! He takes no prisoners and will not be fooled by any charlatans at the club. Being depressing lately but I am confident the glory days will return.

[@NmpK24]

It helped Fergie massively that he got an unprecedented level of power at Utd. though he had to earn it. And its not like he didnt make mistakes either. But the thing he always did so well was delegation. If he wasnt the best coach or trainer he would get one in, maybe change them up after a few years, keep people on their toes. And he would always listen to those people because he knew they had value. Whatever works. This is the polar opposite of the club now. The club has become a nostalgia theme park, filled with clueless imposters. Commercial first, even spreading in to player transfers. Its living proof of how to run a successful, solvent club in to the ground.

Can’t help thinking that applying Brailsford’s ‘bad tooth’ analogy to the current situation at Man Utd will result in a huge dental bill!

I was expecting something revolutionary, he said just the basics of managing people. I’m scared nothing will change at Utd 😢😢😢😢😢

[@kieranheneghan4132]

As a Utd fan, (as well as a member of current society) I feel logic has dissipated over time. Listening to Sir Dave I think the red side will be back to ruin another generation of childhoods bit like what City are doing currently 😉

[@TonberryKing_]

I don't necessarily think Brailsford will be the key - but the other people that come in as a result of the takeover and finally moving the club to the modern standard of football organisation, will be the key to improving as a club. We've spent too long avoiding adding the right people to work above the manager and it's killed having any consistent plan across several managers.

[@SG_1fan]

A couple of points on this interview. 1. You could just as easily drive to Manchester and ask Pep about continued success year in year out. 2. Ferguson was motivated by money, hence his falling out over the racehorse stud fees, which lead to the directors of MU selling off their ownership to the Glazers.

He’ll need a miracle to turn United around, more chance of relegation then success

Why on earth did he not ask what his values/principles are? I mean, given the situations at Man UTd, values and decisions are really important. It does not sounds like only winning is the only value, which is important. A football club is more than trophies.
