:11:41. > :11:47.seeing that, I didn't realise it was such a massive problem. It
:11:47. > :11:54.needs to be addressed. The youngsters watching us, they see us
:11:54. > :11:57.first and foremost as role models, and we need to stamp it out. That

:13:15. > :13:20.There should be no racism in the game. Football is a great way of
:13:20. > :13:29.showing your reaction. Have players been briefed by anybody, by the

:14:10. > :14:19.racist incident? For one, I do not envisage it happening, but I would
:14:19. > :14:25.discuss it, we have had black players, boat, but we have great
:14:25. > :14:29.black friends. It should not just come from the captain, but a whole
:14:29. > :14:38.squad. You put a stop to it right away. It has no place in any work
:14:38. > :14:47.area. With senior black players coming out and talking about it,

:15:37. > :15:42.to Milton Keynes and the game was called off. This is tricky to know
:15:42. > :15:52.at what point to pull the plug. We want to get games on but there are
:15:52. > :15:53.
:15:53. > :15:59.all sorts of elements. We turned up at half past one and we were
:15:59. > :16:07.struggling. It was frozen one side and not the other. There was a hint
:16:07. > :16:17.of gamesmanship from Tony Mowbray, extra time in the week, the fans
:16:17. > :16:17.
:16:17. > :16:22.did not look too disheartened about what was going on. Taking advantage
:16:22. > :16:29.of the resources of the other. think they are wanted to see that
:16:29. > :16:33.through. Tony Mowbray might have another side, you must ask him. The
:16:33. > :16:40.Ipswich fans were building because they want to see the game. The
:16:40. > :16:46.Middlesbrough fans were very quiet. Rearranging for Tuesday 27th March.
:16:46. > :16:51.Half price for those that went to the first one, Burrell will make up

:17:27. > :17:30.goal as well. One for the future. So, Carlisle's game at Stevenage,
:17:30. > :17:33.was one of Saturday's many weather victims - And when the news of
:17:33. > :17:35.broke of the postponement, we were actually at Brunton Park with their
:17:35. > :17:38.gaffer, Greg Abbott. Only 11 managers in English football have

:17:49. > :17:54.
:17:54. > :18:00.game's real characters. He works hard, he's enthusiastic.
:18:00. > :18:10.He is very driven. He wants to be successful. He loves his job and is
:18:10. > :18:21.
:18:21. > :18:26.Keep going, keep going! Used the I have massive loyalty to this club.
:18:26. > :18:36.I have been well looked after and a fan base is believing in what we're
:18:36. > :18:41.doing. I have been in every situation, good and bad. You can
:18:41. > :18:47.give them encouragement when they're down and it is a decent
:18:47. > :18:54.grounding. Let's take you round the grounds. I am of the People's
:18:54. > :18:59.entertainer. A tour of the clubs. The coach's office. GP may govern.
:19:00. > :19:06.I am not sure what he is doing. Trying to be a coach. It's an easy
:19:06. > :19:10.job. Watching him playing, that's easy enough. He is pretending to be
:19:10. > :19:17.on the phone to someone. That is the physio. The people getting
:19:17. > :19:23.treatment and he is on his phone taking notice. Eric is the heaviest
:19:23. > :19:31.youth team, one of the best youth team coaches. He is hiding from the
:19:31. > :19:37.cameras. Camera-shy. Make sure it is a wider lens, he has put on a
:19:37. > :19:46.bit. He is one of those players who plays behind the front two. They
:19:46. > :19:50.always go missing. A legend in his own lunchtime. Head of the
:19:50. > :19:55.commercial department, she is doodling, pretending to be busy.
:19:55. > :20:00.She loves football, loves football. She is half Man United fan, half
:20:00. > :20:08.Carlisle. I could embarrass this young lady but she might see
:20:08. > :20:15.something back. She is left-handed as you can tell. Busy again. I am
:20:15. > :20:22.working! They are all working. likes to get on his feet and if you
:20:22. > :20:26.are not a football manager, you could do the circuit as a speaker.
:20:26. > :20:31.Somebody said the north-east is geographically isolated, you want
:20:31. > :20:36.to be from Carlisle! He has handled himself well on the big stage when
:20:36. > :20:41.he has had to speak. He's incredibly funny. I think he has
:20:42. > :20:50.done after-dinner speaking and he enjoys it. I will move on for good
:20:50. > :20:55.or bad or worse. I will get sacked or go to a good job.
:20:55. > :20:59.Come on in. Come on in. Com on in and show yourself. These are the
:20:59. > :21:09.people that really run the football clubs. The laundry staff. They are
:21:09. > :21:11.
:21:11. > :21:16.not usually shy on a Monday afternoon. It was very cruel.
:21:16. > :21:23.club has a laundry lady who runs the show. They have gone all shy on
:21:23. > :21:30.me. Absolutely fantastic they are. And Emma as well. She has a high
:21:30. > :21:34.neck jumper on! I enjoy my work and take it seriously. I would love
:21:34. > :21:40.some success as a manager for myself, the players and the club
:21:40. > :21:45.and everybody. I think you get inspired not just players you have
:21:45. > :21:50.played with that place you have played against. Role models and the
:21:50. > :21:54.way people can do it themselves. I had a phone call from Alex Ferguson,
:21:54. > :22:01.huge respect and managers wishing me well and talking about the
:22:01. > :22:06.players. I think that will lie well with me. I do not know Martin
:22:06. > :22:09.O'Neill to talk to at all but I remember watching a game at Aston
:22:09. > :22:16.Villa and the guy from catering asked him what he wanted for his
:22:16. > :22:20.post-match foot in the media room for the Chelsea game. He was
:22:20. > :22:23.absolutely exemplary in his manner and the respect he showed the
:22:24. > :22:30.catering manager and it has please and thank you and so polite. I
:22:30. > :22:34.think a lot of him. He must have done things over the years. This
:22:34. > :22:42.takes me back to the days when I was an apprentice, a proper good
:22:42. > :22:45.apprentice. I used a special mob. These are learning the job. One day
:22:45. > :22:51.they will play in the first team and they will laugh at the young
:22:51. > :22:55.players doing the same thing. We know we haven't got the best squad
:22:55. > :23:01.in the league but I think put them together collectively and everybody
:23:01. > :23:06.puts in an honest shift and an honest shift because they have
:23:06. > :23:10.ability and we can be a match for anybody. When we drop the standards
:23:10. > :23:14.or at that level or work ethic we become an ordinary team and we
:23:14. > :23:24.would be good team and nine times out of 10 we have been. That is
:23:24. > :23:28.where I'm coming from as a manager. Do you think we only have one CD?
:23:29. > :23:37.They made a fortune in royalties tonight. Chris Martin and the rest
:23:37. > :23:43.of them. We saw his genial side, Greg Abbott. He has a tough side to.
:23:43. > :23:48.I have been at a training site when he has lost it. Definitely. He does
:23:48. > :23:53.have a serious side and jovial side. We know about it when the serious
:23:53. > :23:58.side comes out. He is a modern-day manager. He puts his arm around the
:23:58. > :24:03.lads and knows when to be firm and when to get behind you. And give
:24:03. > :24:08.you a rallying call. It seems to be working. Is that the key thing you
:24:08. > :24:11.want from a manager, the right people skills, clearly he is a
:24:11. > :24:17.manager after three and a bit years with an imprint across the clubs.
:24:17. > :24:22.He knows how to deal with people. Is that the essential ingredient?
:24:22. > :24:27.Yes and he knows the players he is bringing, their characters and he
:24:27. > :24:32.has insight in terms of the background into players. We do not
:24:32. > :24:37.have a wealth of funds to keep buying players. He has got it right
:24:37. > :24:42.at the minute. You spoke of Martin O'Neill and this is what he has
:24:42. > :24:47.carried out at the Stadium of Light. He has the same players and has got
:24:47. > :24:51.them going because he knows how to deal with people. He has
:24:51. > :24:56.inspiration and wants to be like Martin O'Neill, he is doing great.
:24:56. > :25:01.I spoke to Paul about him before. He is a man manager. He goes in the
:25:01. > :25:05.dressing room, puts an arm around the player. It means a lot. I have
:25:05. > :25:11.had managers in the past two do not say a word to you and on Saturday
:25:11. > :25:16.it's the first time this BT. It's not nice. Players like to be loved.
:25:16. > :25:24.And Paul is one of them. He is the captain as well and maybe he does
:25:24. > :25:28.that as well. What he's doing is terrific. I will not asked you to
:25:28. > :25:32.name names on the managers. You were at the Stadium of Light, a
:25:32. > :25:38.coming down to earth for Sunderland? They are not yet ready
:25:38. > :25:42.to compete at the top end of the Premier League? Since Martin Scott
:25:42. > :25:47.came through the door, we lost against Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal.
:25:47. > :25:51.Performance why is it was the worst since he has taken over. Also the
:25:51. > :26:00.first half, the first half they did well and got themselves in front
:26:00. > :26:07.but the writing was on the wall for Terry Henry. You have to give
:26:07. > :26:11.Martin O'Neill credit. He is doing a terrific job. Credit to
:26:11. > :26:17.Sunderland fans for the elation they gave to Thierry Henry. In the
