Ryan Giggs Explains Dislike Of Liverpool And Why He We’d Never Become Their Manager

Ryan Giggs is eagerly attempting to break into management, though according to some reports, he is being let down by his “underwhelming interview skills.” He disputes this is so, implying that Swansea’s ambitions are a bit small-time for his tastes.

However, there are some clubs that Ryan will not countenance managing. He will not even consent to an interview.

”I moved from Cardiff to Salford when I was seven. You were literally growing up encouraged to dislike people from Liverpool.

I played for Salford under-11s and you would play Sefton, Liverpool boys, Bootle boys and the rivalry was so great. You grow up with it.”

When the interviewer asked would he consider managing Liverpool, the answer was emphatic.

”No. Just a no. That’s no disrespect to Liverpool, I just wouldn’t. I would no longer have friends!

Liverpool is a team who for me was always our biggest rivals, because growing up they were winning everything and they were the team to emulate. They are a fantastic club but the rivalry is too big for me to manage Liverpool.

I’m sure Steven Gerrard would say the same about managing Manchester United. He would simply say no.”
