Now all of a sudden, they all come back, Bellingham on phone and all.

Is he then going to resist to put them in?

You know what I mean?
Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112
It takes a big man to do that.

So therefore, when I look at the men, because of course, you know, you're similar ages to Jamie and Maka and all of them.

So you have this, and they have this Spice Boys image.

And I know because of course, at Manchester United, not saying that you would have been one of them, but you look at Giggs and Becks and stuff.

If Fergie wasn't strict with them, they could have, you know, Giggs liked a night out, Becks and whatever.

So Fergie was very strong.

Whereas Liverpool's way was, we do not, A, we do not coach you.

Premier League was kind of changing to make them kind of like the superstar thing, going out to London and nights out and stuff.

And I know that Fergie would have had a problem if he wasn't as strong with some of the younger players at Man United.
Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112
So I think the Fergie factor kept Man United like that.

John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112
And the Liverpool, I can't say Man United factor because I don't know whether Ron Atkinson or whatever would have been different, but I think Fergie was like that.
