David Moyes Reveals The Truth About Man United, West Ham & His Future | E213

They would be out screaming at you at halftime. They'd be screaming at you at the end of the game. (whistle blowing) Come on, go!

What's the toll of that?

(inhales and exhales deeply)

David "the Messiah" Moyes.

One of the best known football managers across the globe. Building teams with a clear identity. So where am I looking and who am I talking to? I was desperate to be successful as a manager and I had 11 years at Everton where we were finding it really difficult to break into the top four. The phone rang and it was Sir Alex (phone thuds on desk) , and he said, "I'm retiring (camera clicks) and you're the next manager of Manchester United." No interview. Not saying, "Would you like to be?" And I met Ed Woodward the next day, back to his house again and we met the Glazers. It was three days. And that was as simple as that. To get that offer from the greatest manager maybe there ever was was a great compliment. But maybe if I'd really looked into it in more detail and more depth, there was a huge change going to have to take place. I trusted Manchester United.

Do you feel like that trust was let down?

Definitely. But my biggest regret was... (camera clicking)

We start with the story that has dominated the front pages, the sacking of David Moyes. (camera clicking) How did you find out that you were losing your job?

Media.

Oh, really?

If you've got any class or any style, you have to give bad news well. (camera clicking)

What are those steps forward to get West Ham competing at the very top of the table?

I want to build a new West Ham. (hammer thuds) A lot of supporters might not like the thought of that.

When you look at where West Ham is now, do you worry about losing your job?

I've gotta say... (text thuds)

(upbeat music) David, take me back to the context that I need to understand in order to understand you. Take me back to Glasgow-

Mm-hmm.

... 1960s.

Yes. I was in a really good family, who were really important. And you'll probably hear me talking a lot about it now but, uh, we were a, uh, a family who we stayed in the, the West End of Glasgow in a tenement building. And, uh, we used to have to, you know, go up the, up the tenement. And if people who don't know what a tenement is, a tenement is a, you know, what we would probably think a bo- block of flats. And you go up the tenement. And they were never in Glasgow that, at that time, very, very, uh, good to look at. People looked down on them a little bit. But, uh, it was a great upbringing for me that allowed me to play my football out on the street, which at that time was, was something which everybody considered, you know, street footballers. Everybody played football on the street. And everybody in Glasgow did play football on the street, played in the park. So I started in Glasgow in the West End and that was probably where me and my family, uh, grew up.
