[@yutehube4468]

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]

Same age mate.... We understood Fergies excellence once he retired. He ran that club from top to bottom along with David Gill. The players we have in our team are not of Man Utd Calibre bar 1-2 players that show heart and desire to play for this great club.

I'm 46 and i remember way before they started winning the PL. They were a cup side in the 80s and it was such a relief when they finally won the league again in 92/93. Hard to compare watching as a kid and watching now but this seems way worse, probably because of the heights they reached in the 90s and 00s.

[@DynamicHustleNetwork]

The bottom line is whilst Sir Alex did all these things with youth, training ect. The most important thing that he did was maintained control and power. The players knew that to play for United was an honor and there was no room for emotions and egos, no matter who you are

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.

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.

You only have to read Deans Saunders daft comments on his appointment to see that!.. Saying that its improving massively. 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.”

Intrinsic vs Extrinsic rewards is basically this motivational topic there are many good videos about this on KZbin.

I Hope united get him❤

[@danielcarter2375]

I've seen the full interview for this - and it does satisfy me that (unfortunately with Glazers still involved with Man Utd) this bloke - along with Jean Claude Blanc - can rectify things behind the scenes can *hopefully* make things better. Imagine if this KZbin channel could actually bring in JCB for an exclusive interview, too... absolute dreams!!

[@nickmail7604]

Not many people ever get to be winners at anything, but once you have tasted success how can you ever settle for less is the the bit that beats me. So many players are willing just to do it once, now that is what I find strange.

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.

[@chrissilvester5663]

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

[@joekavanagh7171]

Don't get too excited just yet. The Glazers are still there.

[@djsmooth5889]

Straight message to ETH

[@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 hope the players are listening to this and they have that self-awareness to understand who they are and that it's time to move on with respect or they will literally be thrown out. 🙂

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.

[@markl5681]

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!

[@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.

[@hamz4383]

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

[@jamesjarrett52]

A lovely conversation about how they sack people.

[@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.

[@toms18]

I just finished reading Atomic Habit last month, I thought I recognised this man's name so I double check. I just hope he can successfully apply his vision at United.

[@thesoultwins72]

@toms18..............As a passionate cyclist and Man Utd fan, I am ecstatic about Sir Dave [Brailsford] coming onboard as part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's team. Brailsford is a total workaholic and an utterly driven individual. [He absolutely hates losing and is ruthless in his determination to win!] What he has done with British Cycling is phenomenal [we are now the leading cycling nation on the planet and have over 57 world champions to our credit]. When you consider the pathetic state British Cycling was in prior to Sir Dave's appointment and the incredibly short period of time he has taken to turn things around the transformation is nothing short of remarkable. However, and despite his claims - the 'Aggregation of Marginal Gains' [to give it its full title] is nothing new nor did Sir Dave invent this methodology. It was first applied by the Japanese [particularly in their automotive industries] with highly successful results. Brailsford simply modified it to meet the demands of professional cycling - but again its outcomes when used with the BSkyB pro-cycling team were staggering. [BSkyB won 8 out of 10 Tour de Frances and dominated pretty much every race they competed in]. In fact, Marginal Gains has been so successful, virtually every single pro-cycling team today uses the methodology. But equally important as Marginal Gains, is Sir Dave's performance philosophy, which he calls the 'CORE Principle'. [he has done countless presentations and seminars to business leaders and is a regular lecturer on the topic]. In essence, CORE stands for Commitment, Ownership, Responsibility followed by Excellence [the end product]. But at the centre of CORE is the Commitment element. Sir Dave is completely rigid in the belief that even if you are the best cyclist in the world, unless you have the right attitude - he is simply not interested in you being part of his team. He will not work with or accept any athlete who does not possess the expected levels of commitment he demands. It is totally non-negotiable. Given Sir Dave's record, his unbelievable determination and attention to detail, I honestly cannot think of anyone better equipped to establish much more focused and effective practices at Man Utd - particularly in respect to the players themselves as well as the coaching staff. And IF Sir Dave is given the authority to put his methods into effect, I know for a fact, that many of Utd's current players may find themselves being shown the door.

[@daddyboy3546]

Rubbish! And you are confusing the two new baldies-James Clear wrote Atomic Habits-and works for this wanker At least they’re British bicycle riders?

[@GuidossInnit]

A lot of people keep talking about culture and values and organisational structure, but the key thing is that Man Utd have been buying the wrong players at overinflated fees while undervaluing the contribution of their own academy players

[@d-law868]

[@adimudiraj]

They took the football operations from the greedy glazers but I hope they’ve some authority on the deeper issues too so that they can start getting rid of the virus that has festered since Woodward days and carried on with fools like Murtough. Same time, hope they give ETH a good crack with fully fit players cos if he goes now these players have flexed their power again.
