Life of Ryan: Caretaker Manager Page #4

---

or you become a manager

and you absolutely love it,

even if you're not a success,

and you want to come back for more

because, obviously like football,

you learn from your mistakes

and you get better and better.

Or it could be a case of

you go into management,

you don't do very well and that's it, finished.

You won't get a lot out of me tonight

because I am grumpy.

I didn't really get into the game.

I found myself, well, I think we all did,

defending for most of the night,

so obviously my main asset is when I get

on the ball, rather than defending.

I didn't really get a chance.

I was either too deep or...

Just didn't get the ball.

As a fan, this season obviously

hasn't went the way I was hoping it would.

I was fearing...

I thought there was always going to be

a little bit of a drop off from when Fergie left.

I didn't think it would be such a drop off,

where they're not going to

qualify for Champions League.

RYAN:
After going out against Bayern,

you've not got anything really to play for.

You're out of the Champions League.

It was always going to be tough

after that because that was the only thing

we were going for, really.

It'll be a nightmare for

the next few days, and then

gradually you just snap out of it,

because you wanna be involved,

you wanna play.

On top of all this, I'm on the treatment bed,

I'm getting iced and I get chosen for doping,

so that just tops it all off for tonight.

So I had to go and piss in a cup

when I don't really want to,

and that just tops my evening off, really.

You love me, don't you?

Don"[ you?

You're not moving, are you?

You're thinking about it.

Are you thinking about it?

Are you thinking about it?

Are you? Eh?

Ooh.

Is that nice?

Eh?

CAMERON:
Nailed it, absolute nailed it.

RYAN:
Well, we lost against Everton,

that was on the Sunday,

then Monday we had the day off,

so I was playing golf with my mate.

I was playing golf with Cameron.

Yeah, I'm losing now, after that shot.

What was that? Seven?

CAMERON:
I didn't hit it right.

RYAN:
And when you can hear

your phone going and texts,

and it was just off different people,

"What's going on?

"What's happening?

Have you heard anything?"

And I'm not on Twitter,

I'm not on social media of any kind.

I don't really read the papers.

I didn't know, "What do you mean?

"I don't know what's going on."

And, um, apparently that's

when all the rumours started

that the manager was going to leave.

(INAUDIBLE)

I knew that if they sacked David Moyes

that Ryan would take over for the period

to the end of the season as a minimum.

I don't think that came as a shock to anybody.

He was the natural person that was there,
