Roy Forced Out & Tapping Up Gerrard | Transfer Special EP 14

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet, and we are delighted to bring you a transfers special with our full-fit panel of Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott, Roy Keane and Ian Wright.

The January transfer window is open so we kick off the show with a huge debate: who should sign players at a football club?

Jamie and Gary never left their respected teams whereas Jill, Roy and Ian all eventually moved away from their clubs where they became legends; find out how life altered for the trio with their departures.

Gary also remembers how Sir Alex Ferguson dealt with signing players as well as the time he tried to convince Steven Gerrard to join Manchester United whilst on international duty.

Roy talks about his transfer stories as Sunderland manager and opens up on his sudden departure at Manchester United whilst Ian reveals the French revolution Arsene Wenger brought about at Arsenal alongside David Dean and the current business plan at the Emirates under Edu and Mikel Arteta.

Jamie recalls how Rafa Benitez changed recruitment at Liverpool and why despite being one of the top teams in Europe it always felt like an internal battle at Anfield.

Finally, Jill chats about the transfer procedure and differences in the women’s game and her own ambitions of wanting to become a manager.

Whoever decided to film the pre show chat is a genius. Wrighty loving phoenix nights, keane slagging off santa, brilliant stuff.

[Liverpool]

Love Roy for standing firm and saying the first 10 minutes wasn’t wasted time just friends catching up.
People get so busy in life these days they forget to enjoy these small joys!
Well done Roy

[iang.]

That first 10 minutes of just chat and jokes, couple of stories thrown in… so good. That’s the camaraderie and the vibe panel or talk shows or podcast tries to generate or duplicate. Please always include it.

[verselines]

Wrighty acknowledging the production staff at the start was pure class.

[muhammadmehdi]

1:27 “29 in the league and 5 in the cup, so 35 overall” Wrighty is a national treasure!

[azzymcc]

Roy Keanes little smile after Gary mentiones having a stylist has brought me pure joy.

[gavfoley]

The casual chats at the beginning is iconic, absolutely golden, please continue to show this as it's such a good insight :)

[Sam-rgqp]

Ian really does show how easy it is to be complimentary and how good it makes people feel! Always good vibes

[JohnDoe-who]

Roy saying that he couldn't play for another English club after UTD is ultimate respect for the club even though they push him out. True legend 🙌

[joeywaaa]

Wrighty not going to the euros after getting the golden boot is outrageous

[DanBromley-pq]

Can you imagine Roy going to Lapland kids excited to see Santa & Roy saying that’s his job 😂

[conors]

Ian, seems like the nicest dude in football. Wears his heart on his sleeve. Real genuine bloke.

[nofbformeno]

Never expected that out of all of them, it's Roy who's defending about not wasting time. He was berating Gary that they were all having a good time chatting before the show started, that it's not a waste of time. It's clear that he enjoys being in the company of these people and the crew. 🙂

[gaidenboxer]

What i love about Carragher is that he never rushes into answering a question. He listens, analyses, and builds his argument. At 12:21 He applies himself to the best of his intellectual ability for the sport of football. Truly admirable.

[qnonbs]

As a hardcore Liverpool fan I just have to say this - I absolutely LOVE Keano... and Neville is good fun too. This show is amazing.

[stephencollins]

Wrighty getting away with giving himself a cheeky extra goal at 1:24

[ritchiesmith]

I love how Roy says how is that wasted time, are we too busy to chat these days. This whole panel complement each other so well. If ever a show works it is this, and the best thing is I got to watch them play in their heyday. Never did I think 30 years later they would all be laughing and drinking tea together on a successful football show. I look forward to every episode and I hope that they continue as it makes me happy watching this 😊

[pauliewalnuts]

Look at how Carra already knows the story about Wright’s golden boot and still ask questions and Gary’s on about f*cking satsumas then changes the subject. Carra absolutely loves talking about football fair play

[bobnund]

This is what you want. No Stress, no toxicity, just great friendly chat from a great team. Never stop doing this!

[charliesummers]

Roy & Ian are a brilliant combo. so funny.
