Manchester United’s Class of ’92, Full Time: Review
Manchester United’s Class of ‘92 Full Time: Giggs, Neville, Nelson Mandela, Bacon sandwiches, Salford
The illustrious Manchester United’s ‘Class of ’92’ are back in Sky’s latest instalment of the reality-football-show. This third season of this fly-on-the-wall, observational, tell all, authentic, documentary is often hilarious and captivating.
The television show follows Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt as chairmen of Salford FC. In this third series, we find the club with famous owners, promoted twice to the sixth tier of the English league.
Former Red Devil Gary Neville is as logical, explanatory, outspoken while being as likeable as his tough co-managers. Scholes’ dry sense of humour is especially good. From grass-roots to executive lounge meetings at Old Trafford where contracts or careers are made or broken, we see all.
The loyal committee members/builders/refreshment staff are wonderfully down-to-earth with a great sense of humour. Rough and ready Salford exudes passion while being contrastingly caring for the club in darker days. Scenes of poignancy are notable. Now Gary Neville has revealed that the club is also discussing fees with Sky for televised fixtures.
What’s it all about?
Our hosts, the former Manchester United stars are navigating considerable stadium expansions while making the huge decision to turn pro. Tears, tantrums and conundrums ensue. This comes as staff, players, are hired, promoted or sacked in the process. Players’ families are on-screen talking candidly so insight is aplenty in the process.

During the severe decline in form during the beginning of the premier. Inevitably this leaves the Chairmen questioning all aspects of augmentation. Anguished strains of a professional club are experienced by a currently amateur outfit. We, as the viewer are privy to all directorial meetings, team-talks, injury table banter: no inner-mechanisms are off-limits.
