"There was no hot water!" Paul Scholes opens up on his short spell as Oldham manager | PL Tonight 

"What was the 10%?" Bilic "The games". Brilliant!

Paul "There were no coffee machines" Scholes LMAO

We can really see what was afoot in Oldham at the time. Nail biting story from Scholes there

McManaman really tried to help him save face. Good fella macca

Can we please take a moment to appreciate billic’s comment on 10% being the games 🤣🤣🤣

He’s more coaching material. Dealing with guys one to one and imparting his knowledge on the training field. Huge potential as a coach with his understanding of the game, just not the head man.

This guy, Henry and Gary Neville always railed against managers when they thought they weren't doing a good job Little did they know😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Peter Clarke getting a mention here, great stuff as he's become one the most consistent players in the division- now playing at Tranmere

alot of great football players simply are not manager material.

What a player Peter Clarke is. Legend.

I'm a Liverpool fan. I have had the pleasure of watching Scholes all his playing career. Great player! I have the upmost respect for him to go down to Div 2 and want to help the club where he was from. He did this from the heart not for money or fame. Big up to the man.

Paul Scholes couldn't last a month at Oldham was criticising serial winner José Mourinho (27 major trophies ) I do wonder what Paul has to say about Man Utd performance today, 18 shots conceded. West Ham 56% possession .. is this the United way ? Oldham four games unbeaten since Scholes left! Interesting.

4:12 facts 👏

He realised its easier to sit in a studio criticising managers than actually being one

Respectable and honest he properly new the job would be tuff but couldn’t help it as he said he’s a local lad and mabe thought he could help his team

Prefer the days when Scholes was a player and didnt talk

Scholes has had everything good since he was a teenager id say it was a shock to the system when everything wasnt where it was suppose to be

Top man standing up for what he believes in no ones gets told how to do their job he deserved more respect

As Napoleon said, ‘The most important character of a good soldier, is the ability to endure discomfort, second is courage....’ No hot water? Boring watching matches? No grit. Certainly not management material. Life is easier in the studio.

What manager wouldn’t walk away from a job where the owner is trying to tell him who to pick or who to drop. Fair play to him.

McManaman was completely backing Scholes through this, thought that was quite nice

Paul Scholes is good at speaking ☺️☺️

I'm from Oldham not surprised he left the team is shocking

"Basically there was no salmon or caviar on the lunch menu mate, so I was like bollocks to this"...

Imagine Paul managing Oldham with competent ownership,be great to see the owls back in the big time... even the championship would be amazing

This shows how different management is to playing! Scholes is my favourite player of all time but as one can understand Management is so much more challenging.

This is the most smiles i seen paul throw.

Paul Scholes has earned the right. He's been the greatest midfielder in the modern era, he tried and failed at management, he can have opinions about managers because he's played under the greatest, he can sit in a warm studio if he wants. His career and trophies has earned him that right.

Love the fact that Mac and Bilz are doing their best to keep Scholesy out the fire but he is having none of it. Scholesy. They just don't make em' like him anymore. Paul Scholes. He scores goals.

He didn't want to tarnish his managerial record before it started, 1 win in 7, he thought f*** this I'm off.

Taking over oldham with no experience was always a bit of a gamble

Paul is a solid man.

Bilic is sitting there thinking "this guy is a joke"

I can confirm that Peter Clarke is an absolute legend.

"they were there until 2pm on the training pitch, I feel sorry for footballers having to work on those conditions" - Paul Scholes 2020

seems like most people here DID NOT listen to what he said. People above him told him which players to use. OF COURSE he left.

Jose: *he doesn't understand the traditions of the club* *smirk*

before saying anything he is legend many people can only talk in studios but hes real legend massive respect

Bloody gravy train...straight back on tv. Scholes incredibly naive

That was an honest interview, he didn't blame Oldham players at all, just facilities and external influences. He was man enough to say he was inadequate in areas. From the interview I don't think he had the hunger to succeed.

Went to all his matches at Oldham I have a season ticket there and they were in a good run of form when he took over and they he got 1 win in 7 when he left they won 3 on the bounce he made them play negative football by starting fast getting a goal and then parking the bus for the next 80 minutes which doesn’t work at all it’s nothing to do with the chair man he’s just a poor manager

It's really out of order to describe L2 players as a really low level. These are very hard working, skillful professionals who were rightly defended by Scholes.

He has the charisma and social skills of a raw turnip. Completely unsuited to both punditry and management.

Should have invited jose for the program.... blockbuster material !

Scholes...the humble genius.

Respect to him knowing he should of left once he was being told what todo and having his job taken away from him

As a Liverpool fan, I've always liked him, he's so honest and down to earth

He should read the great Bill Shankleys comments about when he first arrived at Anfield ... Oldham Athletics sounds like heaven :)

They wouldnt go home. They were still here at 2:30pm! Yes, he said 2:30!!!!! Does he know how that sounds to the rest of us?

Bilic and Mcmanaman try to defend scholes being a piss poor manager Scholes: that never happened

Basically, it was not Paul's fault.

Roy Keane exposed Paul Scholes years back stating how Scholes use to get away with not giving interviews during his playing days by telling people how he's very shy and people accepted it but then became a pundit immediately after he retired. Excuses and now more excuses after his managerial failure. Zzz

Scholes turned his back international football when England needed him. Never respected him since then

Such a short tenure, what are the odds? That's what Paul Scholes asked, boom boom!

Scholes isn’t the greatest talker/communicator - which u need to be a good manager

Love the haters commenting here. Coward, Karma, poor manager, pundit joke, blablabla... Lol. 11 Premier League titles, 2 Champions League medals among other things with Manchester United, and he's not allowed to voice out his opinions about his beloved club? Did Gerrard, Lampard, Mourinho, Zidane and the like start their managerial career with a club in the fourth division? People are talking as if they know what really happened behind the scene. It's easy to be a keyboard warrior nowadays, huh? But at least, I can have a good laugh whenever I need to relax. Thanks, guys. Keep on hating.

I know the Oldham situation was a farce. But what positives was there to say about Jose at the end of his run. He was asked to give his views and was honest. I don’t get why he gets such huge stick for stating the obvious about things been poor at the time

Classy dude is Scholes 👍

Is this available with subtitles?

Scholes really does talk rubbish. Absolutely not made for management. "I found watching opposition game tape very boring"

Paul "No hot water" Scholes

It's a pity he won't buy Oldham instead of the Salford vanity project.

Scholesy: middle of the pitch not middle management

Lost so much respect for him since he retired and started talking as Mark twain once wrote better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Watch this video with subtitles turned on! 😂😂😂

With all due respect, I wish Steve McManaman would shut up and just let Scholes describe HIS experience

He probably sent the players to sleep at half time listening to him

He should of had this conversation in person with the bosses at Oldham instead of quitting by text message.. this is probably the first time Oldham have found out his reasons for him wanting to leave..

Paul Scholes makes David Brent look like a managerial genius. Look at him trying to justify and convince everyone it wasn't his fault. Even Slaven and Macca are embarassed for him, trying to offer up petty excuses.

Just be the bigger man and say I couldn't do it .. No shame

The naivety of both Scholes (Oldham) and Neville (Valencia) to think they could walk into a disaster and think they could fix it is striking, Their respect for Fergie must have increased even more after their experiences.

In all fairness - he’s not making excuses. He’s not blaming anyone but himself

When u have the balls everytime to criticise managers who won it all like Mourinho n then uur first job will record of win go down as one of the worst in history

Macca backing Scholes there. Top man.

"They only had 'value' tea bags, the milk was often sour and the biscuits were stale. Crappy 'Rich Tea' at best. Never any chocolate digestives. There was just no way I could have worked there for more than a few weeks".

The comment section is hilarious. 🤣

Regardless of whether he was a good manager or not he didn’t bottle it. From what he’s said he’s been told to play senior players or whatever player by someone in the club. It’s actually strong of him to step down as he didn’t want to be told what to do by others. He’s the manager he chooses the team and if he didn’t feel like he could do what he wanted then there’s no point him being there. Getting a lot of undeserved stick IMO.

Jose Mourinho loves this video.

Lol love how the MSM make excuses for Scholes. He’s great a criticising managers, extremely poor at being one clearly.

It takes a totally different set of cognitions to coach football compared to playing it. Scholes' being was based on his football ability. Convey those skills to others, communicate and translate for the right outcome is a million miles away from just doing it automatically on the field. Its harder to be a coach than a player and I've done both.

scholes didn't get backed, he's actually suited to be a better coach than lamps/gerrard, he was always better than these two as well, needs to go to a slightly better club imo

Paul Scholes!

Surely the manager, Scholes of all people, can get some hot water and coffee machines sorted.

Not all great players can manage. Scholes may not be as critical of gaffers in the PL from now on. Macca could use a brush with reality too. #PunditsAreCrapManagers

Excellent player in his prime, but always quiet, inarticulate, no charisma. Never a leader. Keeping your head down and grinding it out on the pitch is not the blueprint for a successful future in management - the only surprise here is how quickly he gave up. No fight.

scholsey looking sharp but unfortunately not sharp enough for Oldham!

Jesus Christ people really comparing united to Oldham 😂😂

Not so easy eh scholesy. Easy to sit and judge rather then put on a pair of balls and grind it out.

Paul Scholes hasn't stopped running his mouth since retiring. So much for the quiet humble guy the media have made him out to be.

This interview longer than his spell as Oldham manager

Scholesy knows his own mind

The lads where brilliant.. err can’t remember anyone 😂😂

Everyone with such firm opinions. None of us know what happened. Paul seems like a humble guy, ready to defend the players. Mourinho was a world class, experienced manager, not player. This was Scholes' first ever job as manager. Can't compare the two. Give him a break.

whats steve mcmanaman pipping up for never managed lol

Ex united players like to talk the talk but Flops when it comes to waking the walk 😂

Legend

People love to hate. Scholes has made it easy for them with his constant criticism of other managers but if what he says is true, that the owners were commanding that some players shouldnt play I can understand why he quit. A manager needs freedom to make these decisions on his own.

Jose Baxter loves a line

What a top lad

Great players don’t always make great managers
