Graeme Souness

No, no.

I was managing at the time and my focus was just on trying to win football matches and other stuff.

I think maybe there was more criticism in the game.

I think it was just maybe the beginning of phone-ins and people were, you know, there was...

a platform for people to phone in after a game and be critical of their team or the players or the manager.

I think that was the start of it.

In terms of the football, did the football maker see change?

No.

I didn't see it that way.

No, I wasn't being specific about Liverpool.

I was being across the board.

You know, to where you are today, if you listen to...

the phone is on a Saturday or a Sunday evening.

I mean, the gloves are off.

You don't, you know, the boys, the boys that do make the calls and sometimes ladies make the calls, you know, they're not holding back and being critical.

And that's, I mean, I think, you know, I liken it to Prime Minister getting out of his car or ministers because he doesn't really have the walk.

He gets dropped outside, number 10.

But see the ministers walking into a,

Cobra meeting or walking into a cabinet meeting and I've got journalists shouting ridiculous questions at me.

Is that how the world has changed?
