Peter Kenyon and Ste Howson are with Rio this week to discuss how clubs operate when a manager is ‘under pressure’. After Ste probes Peter about why Ronaldinho wasn’t able to make the move to Old Trafford, he also finds out how the club began searching for Sir Alex Ferguson’s replacement after he announced his retirement in 2002, a decision he eventually reversed. 

Peter gives his verdict on the way Manchester United handled the meeting of club hierarchy a week ago, Rio discusses the impact those meetings have on the manager and his players and the trio look into whether fixture congestion could feasibly lead to players across the continent bringing strike action.
