Buy players that are available every week.
Simple but great advice.
That part was what interested me most - recruitment. A lot of pieces regarding that are a true reflection of some of the problems you've had with recruitment recently.

Feels like a dig at our past recruitment policies, whether it’s players constantly injured or worse, players who are unavailable through indiscipline and/or not giving a feck.
Basically you're better off with a Phil Neville than a Luke Shaw.
No it’s not.How Ironic that we have people clamouring to get rid of Erik and I'm just watching Fergie talk about how he went the whole of December of 89/90 having won 0 games out of 8. He also lost a Derby 5-1 a few months beforehand. Food for thought.

The best ability is availability.Basically you're better off with a Phil Neville than a Luke Shaw.
To be fair Fergie had a terrible season in the league that year they won the FA cupNever really thought of it that way. Imagine how great Erik will be after having a shit 18 months instead of just a shit month.
No idea.The best ability is availability.
Sounds simple, but it’s true. What’s the point in having a great player if he isn’t on the pitch?

That is something I'll remember most from the interview.Buy players that are available every week.

100%. The best ability is availability.
I remember when LvG spent a summer going after Thomas Vermaelen, who might've have been the most perennially injured player at that time. It seemed brainless, and thankfully didn't come to fruition.
I've not watched it yet but this is what I suspect it to be.Whose bright idea was it to get two Scot’s talking on camera together?!
“Och ach aye wee och wee aye och!”
Can we get subtitles? Not a fecking word!!
Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!
It goes back to Sir Matt Busby. He lived by the "we must entertain the fans who have had a hards week work" attitude.My favourite comment was “Your job is to get footballers who send fans home happy”
Safe to say our managers since have left us down.

First, appreciate sharing the video. Second, the key was setting the right expectations - the great man was clear on this one. Our expectations are our club has fallen.When you hear him talk, even now, you see how far our standards as a club have fallen. Nothing to do with ability in and of itself, but the burning fire to better yourself and be the absolute best you can be. On top of that, we have lost our vengeance, and that's something I have known nothing but from us since a child, that you fight with everything until the very end.
The way we are has made so many fans passive and docile, accepting of the dross served up, not taking onboard what drove us was an indomitable energy that made every player and member of the playing staff ceaseless in their desire to improve, lest they be turfed out.
We don't aspire to anything anymore, nothing genuine anyway. Empty words and saying what people want to hear is not at all the same as the spirit we used to carry.
He was apart of that malaise though. He recommended we bring in Moyes. Constantly talked about no value in the market to protect our new owners. He left an aging team. It would've won under a Jose type I believe, but it needed serious help long term.When you hear him talk, even now, you see how far our standards as a club have fallen.
