Mark Ogden provides unique insights into Phelan’s illustrious career, reflecting on his time at Manchester United, where Phelan played a pivotal role both on the training ground and behind the scenes. Having assisted legendary managers like Sir Alex Ferguson and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Phelan’s wealth of experience could prove invaluable to Argyle. The discussion also examines how Phelan’s arrival strengthens the support system for under-pressure Argyle boss Wayne Rooney. Could Phelan’s influence help Rooney steady the ship and lay a stronger foundation for success at the club?
