This is B.B.C. Radio 5 Live on digital B.B.C. Sounds. Kind of reflected the weather an area of locally heavy rain spreading across central and. Northern parts overnight but should pass through most places by the morning when there was some showers in the song. As well then into Saturday in Scotland with showers to the west for the rest of the U.K. There was sunny spells. In the northwest. That's out of the way grilled. Africa. And South America. It was a ring right now. Oh I so I. Ate 5 or. Social media. Good morning Mina Hello good morning how I am very well thank you very much Good evening Tim. Even say it was a big moment we were all white how much homework because the grind Seth put in to signing the surname Desa kind poor and and I have to say say if it was show jumping it would be really be classed as a refusal to refuse on our homework Seth Yeah it was very very sensitive it was a horse coming up to the one thing no no I'm not going to do that I'm not going to do that let's just stick with desiccant more homework needed set out son how am I Well you know what I would like to say is when you're is according to design with many of the guests on the show do you really need surnames. Good point good point good point and you've wriggled out of that one. Day and. That's OK I'm going into this thinking this is so wonderful Mame. And I'm going to save the filename me maybe a little later on you have to save something for laser on but plenty for something resume he was hot enough for it yeah exactly this is how many people I flex for his children and then they say how do you just reach the stage where you know it's a bit like you don't want to tell them it's wrong so you just go in they didn't know how can I do it ROOM what do they do what they get wrong they say Ozzy a key. Which is we did design them because it would be like you know it's like me saying the. I can't help but feel that that would be your Japanese footballers should I'm. Quite well. We're going to be talking about football from around the world but of course has been one story that has absolutely taken over the back pages over here and I'm pretty sure it's somewhere registered on the Richter scale over there in South America Tim Jones a merino departing Manchester United being replaced. By all are going to solve a Norwegian in charge of a Premier League team not some losing a great deal of what would you reckon semi surprise that Jones has gone. Well I'll do this quickly because I mean I was much much more about this and many other things that than I do because he made this I was over the hammer Oh of course. He's a huge stories that he's a massive star and say what you like about him he's got a he has a magnificent C.V. . We gave this appointment some hammer when it happened I thought it was a terrible terrible appointment from a club where clearly there are things of gone much more wrong than just the coach. It was an appointment that had nothing to do with the identity of Manchester United and really couldn't possibly succeed. Having said that and this is what I'd love mean his view I was very surprised by the timing of the sacking because he wasn't the same just after they lost lost to Liverpool he was sacked after the draw the put them against Paris St Germain and the sin is that door came out now at that point he still Culture me united dissenters actual came out I thought limey morning you will be really loving he will really to this it's exactly a more you type of challenge the Liverpool thing that's that's a different challenge and maybe on some people are arguing that Moody who is now behind the times in Liverpool are the new thing in town and it's a team that's like a collective steam roller Paris argument is a different thing it's a start it's a vehicle for stars it's a vehicle for individual brilliance exactly the kind of thing that brings the best out of him and you could just see him plotting that game and thinking yes I'm going to neutralize Neymar that's I'm going to neutralize him by pay and I just wonder it's probably a foolish conspiracy theory but is there any because their relationship is clearly broken down between more you and the club and that I think was clear from the very 1st pre-season press conference that he gave was is there anything in there perhaps the idea that United were worried that he might win that tie and save himself what do you think. you know asking me yes you know has death ok the don't worry about my opinion are no nothing but i i do think so i think that he was going to get sacked anyway he and i think that they didn't have a clear idea on what to do afterwards so that's probably the reason for the did lay off to live a pool i do it what interesting as i was doing an other pont cars term be upset and yeah i always think of the b.b.c. Were an undo them and as soon as that time i was announce the peers g. United tie firstly it my ad of light beers do you can never get him like shark us as a reason yeah the always get the toughens drop or here but this time round you they can be happy is united that is a dismal in united and everyone you were stanek steamy on the panel was acquitted talking about you know is you can win that is and the like we've just talked but like 10 weeks in a row about how horrible this united is what makes you think they can win it and then and they've all proceeded to give me the reasons that tim just outlined right now and they're all very true sort and i just not there are many what this is a very real possibility but so me it was almost The timing came because it's like we needed a change and we needed to come at a time where we don't drop any more points so let's do this at a time where we have easier matches coming up such as the one against Cardiff such as the one against Huddersfield and then whoever comes in to replace him in the short term because so the go kart of Huddersfield Bournemouth the Newcastle. They can just go on this and develop some sort of confidence before they end up facing the likes of spurs so for me it was more like a timing of let's bring it so it's a soft landing for whoever comes in to replace him so they can start to build some steam so they can try to recover their confidence and you know it's and that's why I think it happened when it did but it is interesting that they waited till the Tuesday rather than straight after the palm I don't know whether that was due to huge negotiations or trying to find a way through but I think what shocks me the most about all of this. Is I went obviously to do a few interviews and how many of those fans said to me check in with nets and in Sudan. She's going to be there I hope is the next coach and I'm like This is exactly the issue with Manchester United it's like let's go and get the next big name and we can just line them up they've turned into another P.S.G. With no identity with no clear plan with not nobody and and no one working in cahoots or as a unit at the very top level to identify what it is that they need to be a big club yet again and it's not just let's get huge names let's buy Paul Pogba or let's get the top striker Let's do this no it's about finding what it is they want to do and building it up again because they're no longer Manchester United you have to get a reality shot at the moment so I'm explosions gone it's been hideous attempts after hideous attempt to bring to bring someone that can guarantee results it didn't work out with Moyes because they didn't want to wait or because he was rubbish I don't know then it was Van how and then it was like get renewed because he's got this great C.V. Well 1st he has focusing on the sporting side of things he was there to scout What what are they scouting our base counting commercial revenue type of play is ones who generate huge interest from social media insults shirts or are they generating all or they are looking for players who actually create a harmony do they have a clear idea of mixing use with veterans with experience or no experience but a lot of motivation do they have an idea of what tactical versatility is or is it let's just go for Lexus and just because city want him and we can get him and we'll just overpay all these guys and bring them all together no leadership quality because that's clearly not in the in the scouting department so they clearly don't understand that buying players doesn't necessarily mean just going at the most talented but somebody who can also provide something for the dressing room everyone laughed at the time when P.S.U. Went for General Joulwan and I'll be honest I was a bit like really but this guy. Provided so much for their dressing room for their confidence or whatever it is for Arriola his growing up who loves to be training alongside him despite having competition against him it's sometimes about bringing in a guy who may not offer you as much on the pitch and he will offer you something off it there's no Kilian guidelines on how to bring players in and it's not just let's go and get your dreams down because he did great work with around Madrid one night the guy has no affiliation to the club doesn't speak English as known to standing over what United is because he grew up in France went to an event his and then went to play around Madrid the clubs that he's going to go to are those cannot It doesn't make sense to all of a sudden go from I would Madrid way complained about rot in the dressing room about just how many about the fact that players weren't giving everything when it came to league games only if the champion football which is Champions League and then goes into exactly the same situation at United Why on earth would he accept this well if he does he's lost his moment and it's a case of They've lost their money to even think about him good manager which is seen as the only name that makes sense but that's what that's all they really issue their issues starts when the top and it goes all the way down and they need to have a clear plan in every way and they need to divide the costs up front and stop just getting these big guys that generate huge profits and do nothing on the pitch if only you had a few moments to think about what you're going to say mean oh sorry that's just the thing just really bothered me at the time. Till I tell you what she said the girl let down a really this one even after going well to reason answers for was about to get one enormous sinusoid and all you got to do with her arms about this all you got to do with her you got like to touch Piper Number 2 a cyclist and. It's interesting my take is ever so slightly different on the fixes you say it was good to to make a change now to allow the new man to come in and have some success Yeah I go the other white and think it's very very difficult to get rid of a manager if they win 5 of the next 6 games. In the run up to Spurs going forward you have a new against. Cardiff even if. It's a good question but you know if you're looking at the fixture list you still would feel as Manchester United you are going to win 4 of the next 5 games minimum. And that would be your expectation if you didn't do that then maybe you have to think about making a change. Go important messages coming in. That's just appreciation for that runs. It's a reminder that it's time for us to drink some water thank you very much I am actually meaning. Which I prefer would fit me well then question what I do. 59 or 9693 is the number that gets you through so you mean a resume or Zuki. Here on the World Football phone and we talk in South America we're talking your talking Jos a Marine you know as well what has been the big story team in South America over the last 7 days. Watching the Club World Cup from behind the settee screaming. It's just it's an annual exercise in torture the Club World Cup because and this is the one place that makes it really really seriously really serious and it's even now since this competition is free for invented this competition in its current form in 2005 the main thing that has kept it alive is the South Americans who go into huge numbers at great expense they will they will travel to to watch these games it's obviously the child of the old annual game between the champions of Europe and the champions of South America and you only have to go back 20 years and it was equal sneek was the South Americans would really look forward to this event because it was a chance to show that they were better they could outplay the Europeans will forget that one they have won it they want in 200-520-0620 extension 12 but all their all single goal victories based on recognizing the superiority of the Europeans so let's hang on for grim life and try and sneak one on the counter-attack. And not something which which plays for a truck so hasn't been particular good for the competition and in recent getting worse and worse and worse because what we're clearly seeing now is other American champions not only are they massively massively behind the European champions but they're not noticeably better than in some cases worse than the champs from from the other continents and now for the 4th time you know and the 2nd time in 3 years that the South American side has filed some might the final its fall in the semifinal stage river plight fell on penalties to the local side from the Arab Emirates. Who in their 1st game were 3 nil down to Wellington a semi professional side from New Zealand you know if you are south or they did this it's a disgrace. And I have to say I think it was sadly predictable I did a piece for World Soccer the start of the week saying well I'm not sure if I can defend against them you know really quite clearly the favorites but you know. That they'd show that they did my very very short work of the African champions of Esperance of Tunisia 3 know and they showed that a really good counter-attack and river plight like most contemporary South American sides the center backs that they're slow slow quick quick slow without the quick hits so they're there they are so gettable you can get at them all the time and every time I came forward with confidence you could see the possibility of a goal now there's a there's a sense of denial we're trying to deny reality in South America and this is the 1st time it's happened to an Argentine side an Argentine side has filed the might the final so that the immediate fullback position is our this wasn't the one that really mattered the one that really mattered was the limited orders final of course that game that was you know it was controversially taken to Madrid we had 2 terrific games in terms of excitements But in terms of quality it's lagging a long long way behind and I don't think this position is tenable this position other than the one that really matters is his block a river and who cares what happens in the Club World Cup 1st because they're lying today to themselves but mainly because the beauty of a game like Bach against river historically is not just the absolutely magnificent atmosphere that the fans correct it's not just the passion that surrounds the game it's also that this game historically N.P.R. The limited audience final historically has been about excellence the side you know these sides followed all over the world and now I fear I mean this is this is directly conflicts. Return to my own interests supporting a family man and a beauty salon on the on the South American to football but unfortunately at club level. It still has many aspects of interest and it still produces great players it still produces great atmospheres it still culturally very important but the quality on the field is just getting worse and worse and worse and partly this obviously is an obvious point this is suffering from the sale the continual sale of talent which goes younger and younger and now to more places where they're now losing more players to Major League Soccer in the United States for example as well as Egypt and China and Middle East so it's not just Europe that buying but also sacked sickly so often there there's. Wanting I don't know if you saw the other semifinal which was Kashima Japan against Real Madrid was a really good game actually a really good game. By one it and like they couldn't defend in the end they couldn't defend against Gareth by a one when he's in that kind of form he is almost an markable on that mixture of of it's close of pace and coolness in front of goal but it's really something that is well. Yeah yeah easy feat easy easy imposing but until he took it away from them Cassim AWOL right in it and tactically it was a joy to watch because they went bold they looked to outnumber Madrid in the Madrid half and so often both with and without the ball the Japanese had 3 players where. And they were they were breaking up Madrid's moves and they were they were they were launching their own moves it was really good to watch I only sleep can't remember South American side playing. The European champions like that you know in a real game for years and years when last year Gremio pleasing side it was then against Real Madrid in the final the Club World Cup and admittedly it was a different Real Madrid was a better Real Madrid than the one now but I think they had one shot and that was a long range free kick. Ended up hanging off of bats hanging off their own cross bar and you look at what the Japanese are capable of and you thinking. South America the relative decline is is accelerating I'm really worried now I'm one worried for the foot that the future of club football in South America it continues to be really really important to the society the clubs have huge support but the spectacle on the field on something really badly needs to be done I think because the World Cup Cup which is taken more seriously here than anywhere else is quite a painful and you reminder of relative decline and what's the one thing that you would do to change club football that th
