Talking Devils - A Manchester United Podcast · A Complete History Of Manchester United - 1970/71 - Wilf's Last Stand · 5 Jun 2026 podcast

Same as last season under Wilf, which is not bad. voice-verified

So a definite improvement then. voice-verified

But Leicester City, that Matt was keeping an eye on, were, as I say, zooming back into the top flight. voice-verified

And that hardened Matt's view that this might be the next manager of Manchester United, Frank voice-verified

happening at voice-verified

yes Malcolm was very much uh very much one of the modern coaches a product of the West Ham Academy and uh you know if you look around you can see Leeds under the great thinker uh Don Revy uh won the Bears Cup uh after the the knocking out Liverpool uh Chelsea voice-verified

won the european cup and who was their manager dave sexton one of the new breed of coach managers you know coaching coaching coaching organization um so yes there was a pattern to this and and that yes i've drawn the comparison between franco farrell and and busby in the in the dignity and so on and the cultural background but musgrove voice-verified

sort of ticked the coaching box, the Musgrove O'Farrell partnership ticked that, you know, modern football, teamwork, coaching. voice-verified

So yeah, you're quite right to mention the Musgrove factor. voice-verified

and no. voice-verified

I think Busby made it very clear that there were to be no more Frank Sinatra-style comebacks. voice-verified

I think the improvement was not so startling as to suggest, hey, Matt's giving up too early. voice-verified

I think I did a calculation once that even if you take their average points per game, voice-verified

after Matt took over, you know, in the new year and, and the end, it would still only have got them into third or fourth, you know, it, it, it, it, it wasn't the old magic back. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Um, so no, there was a feeling that yes, it was time for change and, and, and certainly, um, voice-verified

i can tell you the story of the approach the eventual approach uh made to franco farrell but but before that is it before you go back to the to the personnel is it okay to speak a little bit about the matt's final match in charge of manchester united of course that's why we're here this is quite quite eventful and it was on may the 5th i think um 1971 and we're better for matt's final match voice-verified

manager of manchester united the main road the home of manchester city managed by his great friend joe merson now unbeknown to matt or the match by the way was a it was a terrific four three great game a busby football match somehow it was just i don't know why there there was this those who were at the manchester united everton game voice-verified

Only goal, score of the only goal, Ryan Giggs, the day after, in the week after, Matt Samat eventually died. voice-verified

I remember being enthralled by the fact that the game was played almost to Matt Busby's recipe. voice-verified
