Yes. It was three years ago and was edited for television. At least be honest and say you just don't like him and you'll exaggerate any reason to cast doubts. It's obvious anyway. If you haven't already done so then watch The Alex Ferguson Story on YouTube and tell me you're blown away by the tactical prowess shown.
Ryan Giggs | United confirm he's left

He was incredibly dull on ITV tonight.
Because the match was also dull. Not much entertainment value
yup
A pundit cant be exciting when he is analysing a boring game. Think thats too much to ask
His voice is so monotone, people on the TV are on there for basically one reason - to keep us there. Ian wright still manages to show some charisma at least. Giggs doesn't have any of that. Charisma is an extremely important part to a manager as man management is one of the most important things to being a manager.
He is dull.
Aaah, people see what they wanna see... As far as punditry? He was fine. As for management? Seriously, how the fcuk would we know?
Been the opposite of Billic. Zero insight and boring as hell
I'm not too sure. Ian Wright was least entertaining - but that is his actual job. But Giggs was very monotone.
I've only just seen his take on the England team's failures. It was basically "They weren't enough like the Class of '92" ... Boot room work ethic, Fergie-style discipline, whole generations growing up together (like National teams tend to do) = Jurassic Park!
I think his managerial career will be a train wreck.

How did he charm his sister-in-law into bed?
He's got the personality of a Tesco value 'just ham' sandwich.

He was fine. Solid punditry. . looked smart.

Perhaps because all successful managers throughout history have possessed certain personality traits that are needed to manage at the highest level, which have been evident to see in conferences and interviews that they do. Unless you have zero life experience, you should know that to be a good manager you need a certain level of charisma and to be have an authoritative presence. It can't be learned in a text book or on a course, you either have it or you don't. Giggs lacks any of it. You don't have to be best friends with the man to see that.
I don't know why some people get so defensive about it. No one is insulting him, we're just commenting on obvious shortcomings that are relevant to being a manager. It's why likes of Steve Bruce and David Moyes will never be particularly good managers but the likes of Mourinho and Guardiola are. There's just something special about them that makes players want to listen and follow them. They instil confidence and a belief that anything is possible. And then there's Ferguson, a man who when he talks everyone around him will stop and listen; he commands respect. When Giggs talks I want to mute my TV.
He is handsome tbf.
You seen the boys stamina?
Running down the wing wasn't the only thing he could do all night long.
Neville at least offers in depth analyses of tactics which people appreciate him for, giggs was just your average pundit saying all the obvious things, take him and put shearer in his place and you wouldn't tell the difference.
Yeah but how can you come to this conclusion when you've only just met the bloke?
What a load of nonsense, if you want to say you see nothing in Giggs to indicate he'll be a top manager I won't argue with you. Successful manager does not equal top manager, some of you don't seem to realise football exists outside of the top teams. None of you know whether or not Giggs can manage...
Agreed.
The whole thing looks bad only because our club management has been silent while Giggs' camp has been making noise. It's only one side of the story.
I can understand the opposition to Giggs continuing as Assistant manager/wanting to be a manager, but why the hate for punditry? I mean, we do hear other people commentating on channels in UK, US and Asia? Everyone is terrible and boring. Some of the hate towards Giggs is idiotic here. He did ok as a pundit, but he's our own ffs
So now having a monotone voice means you can't manage.
Poor Giggs, he may not even be good enough as a pundit
Poor... he isn't!
Wow, people are expecting footballers to know the result of the game beforehand and prepare advance analytics based graphs and draw conclusions around that.
Comparing him with Neville isn't fair as Neville always had a day to prepare his show. Giggs was asked immediately after the match.

Isn't that the case with every managerial appointment these days?
Gary Monk who did great for Swansea, got canned because his results weren't great. They weren't bad...but weren't great, either. So they fired him.
Those days when a manager got 2 years, to perform badly, before he got fired, have gone.
MUFC is probably the only job where a manager can be absolutely dire and still hang onto his job until he has completely and utterly wrecked the season beyond repair.
I would love to be as "poor" as Giggs.
It is, but there are obviously different teams have different objectives and a differing level of patience with their managers.
Tell that to my mum. She complains everytime she sees him. Apparently he's the ugliest man alive.
Just trying to cover her tracks. Sorry to have to be the one to tell you mate :/
Has the meeting room still not been booked yet? Guess he'll have to wait with the impending signings in the coming week
Well, he was never an exciting person to talk with.
My memory of him has always been single sentences with 2-3 words.
The fact that he was able to string long sentences together, yesterday, was actually a pleasant surprise!
Looks/beauty are subjective.
One woman may think a man is the most beautiful man alive.
Another woman may think that same man is the ugliest men she has ever seen.
Not in a financial way of course. I was referring on an emotional level. It must be hard for Giggs to acknowledge that it was out of instinct and natural skills that he became the great player he once was and that he doesn't understand the game as he thought. Everything around him is collapsing. His family doesn't speak to him anymore, the club he lived most of his life in had shown him the door....it mustn't be easy for him
So we've gone from blaming random leaks and tabloid garbage on Giggs to now judging his managerial acumen on a documentary and a 30 minute stint as a pundit. Nice to see this thread is still as shit as it ever was.
He's never struck me as a person with the character to be a top level manager, he's boring.
