What a refreshing interview Rio is the best defender England has ever produced and I’m so glad he came to United, Rio is also a really lovely genuine guy, everyone would want him as a mate
I worked for a Boss who said very little, when you done well, he told you. When you didn't, he told you. Always interested in how the construction team I was managing was doing and would talk to them individually about there family or if things were OK. All of us would run through brick walls for him. Sir Alex, may of got things wrong in his time, yet no one comes even close to what he achieved. In football terms, man was a genius.
That type of boss you worked for is rare. Praised staff when it was warranted but never went overboard with it but brought staff back down to earth if they made a mistake. Sounds like a good communicator and a good motivator. Earned the respect of his staff and had a good relationship with them. In 30 years I was never lucky enough to work for such a rare breed of manager.
@@jlk760 Sadly, it is what is wrong with most Managers. I believe you earn respect, in your actions, deeds or how you conduct yourself, especially when things go wrong. Some people believe with rank, they can talk to you as they please. I must say though, I have had bosses who were just excellent. I will give you an example of how to run things. I was in charge of a site in Kensal Rise, the copper building. I was building flats above, with a Nandos and a Tesco being built on the ground floor. I was in charge so each operation went through me. The guy in charge of Nandos, well top bloke, professional, but also a good laugh. The guy in charge of the Tesco team, was a real horror, bully. In the construction process, the Nandos team finished well before the Tesco team, the product was better also. It was good for my young team to see the difference in management.
@@Oscarspoem Clearly, the Nando’s team responded more positively to being treated with respect and as human beings and that translated in their productivity levels. Unfortunately, most of my years were spent in banking and local government and poor management was an occupational hazard. Many are awarded that rank but are ill prepared to understand the meaning of how to execute the requirements of the role.
@@Oscarspoem I know exactly what you mean, and I've seen it in my own career. Sad thing is, that Tesco man, he'll think he knew what was what - that he did it right. And he'll inflict that on the ones working under him in the next job.
@@twalk512 Hi Tim. Sadly your right. Yet the Tesco chap will not stay with the same company. Bullying in part of life can be really difficult to deal with, especially if it is your boss. I think the only way to deal with it, is to confront them. Because sometimes people do not realise what they are doing. I think in elements of life, you show someone kindness, they will respect you and remember it. Thanks for your comment.
he literally played under him for years, if someone knows about a gameplan that went wrong it is a player that played that game, what are you talking about? I'm not a Rio fan in the slightest but that comment makes no sense at all
@@dh-st5sz He has famously stated numerous times he would challenge Ferguson prior a game, and thus be furious during it because he thought he had got their tactics wrong. That is what I'm talking about. If that doesn't make sense, I can't help you
I've seen every United game in the past 23 years, and Sir Alex got his tactics wrong in 3 games that I'll never forget: 1. Barcelona United 2009 UCL Final 2. Bayern United 2010 Quarter Finals at the Allianz Arena 3. City 1-0 United 2012 I'd add Barcelona United 2011 UCL Final but that United team didn't stand a chance but the 2009 UCL final - replay that games 10 times - and that United side wins it 7 out of 10 times if Sir Alex had setup United to sit deep and hit Barcelona on the counter with Scholes controlling in the middle.
Fergie idolised Jock Stein and probably picked up a huge amount in terms on man management, dealing with the press, what information is relevant and when to use it etc. It was Jock who before a press conference pointed out to Sir Alex every journalist that passed and gave him a run-down on everything about them and if there was any scandal in their life. He was notorious for knowing every party or gathering, who was there, where, what times, favourite drinks. There’s a story that Jimmy Johnstone was in a pub and the phone went at the pub asking for Jimmy. Jimmy answered to Jock shouting “Get out that pub you little b*#%£rd!”. There are tons of stories if you can be bothered to look for them but the stick out for me from the similarities between them is that even when they were angry, a smile or laugh was never far away. That’s the mark of someone who is calculated and on a deeper deep level, in control. This backs up what Rio was saying. Good interview. 👍
Tbf Steven... It's so frustrating to watch you interview absolutely everybody! Literally saturating the market... On your own! Give up & comers a chance

Absolutely. In settings like this I'm reminded how thoughtful and human Rio is - genuinely good man.
Sol Campbell was the best modern English defender.
Great insight into Sir Alex. The upper club management are clearly lacking the spirit and ability to lead the club the way Sir Alex did.

@@shahzadiranisorry to hear that
The only secret was hard work hard work and more hard work
Which we are lacking since he left everyone just relaxed and still we haven’t checked in
TNT tiny noticeable things. A reoccurring theme in all aspects of life.

Not everything is about Celtic mate.
Scott123 What answer were you hoping for? That Sir Alex became great out of a vacuum? 🙄
@@michaelfern4079 just cool it with the Celtic nonsense
Scott123 Sure. Enjoy your bubble.
@@michaelfern4079 enjoy your celtic bubble. There’s a big world out there mate.
Rio is the best man United player
I distinctly remember Fergie hammering you Rio after the 6-1 loss to City. Lol
Why are grown men crying and arguing when they aren't chosen for a game? Sure you might be disappointed but I thought they'd act better than than.
Nice of you to include neuro diverse people like Rio on your show.

so boring
Not a Utd fan then
