Pete Boyle: End of An Era And Where to Begin Replacing Sir Alex




Beyond The Pitch show

Summary: If you follow Manchester United and films that have documented club exploits closely over the years you know Pete Boyle, but more importantly the songs, chants and unique firebrand energy he delivers alongside supporters both inside and outside Old Trafford. What this episode attempts to do is break down the opinions and sense that supporters feel about the Sir Alex retirement from the club and get underneath how pervasive a force he was inside the club, whether David Moyes is the right choice in the end given the unique job requirements of following such a legend and what might be the first things to be addressed for the new manager which inevitably leads to player signings, perhaps moving on Wayne Rooney and even bringing over a couple of familiar names from Goodison Park. Pete Boyle gives us a clear upclose view of all these topics, has some wonderful stories to share about Sir Alex Ferguson and his impact at the largest British football club and helps us understand the many different views out there on the Moyes appointment and whether Wayne Rooney should be sent on his way at last.
