0:00.0	The Athletic.
0:05.0	I'm going to be honest, I think it probably should have been done weeks ago.
0:07.0	I think they've sat on the Hans Villa.
0:09.0	It was only ever going one way.
0:10.0	I think you could tell early days this season that Stephen Gerard was not going to get it right.
0:14.4	I don't think we'll see and play for Manchester United ever again.
0:18.2	I mean it's only just over a year ago that he returned to the club with massive jubilation.

0:58.0	can't see do the things that he used to be able to do in his career other than just
1:00.9	elbow people in the guts. Hello and welcome to the Athletic Football
1:06.0	Podcast. I'm Dan Bardell and this is the weekend preview.
