Bayerns net

We were favourites just ahead of Liverpool with Everton outside contenders according to the media. I spoke to him about 5 years ago over a meal & he hadn’t even spoken to United

Thanks for the feedback

Completely agree mate

Hi Pete, thank you mate, that was a great Interview, I bet it felt really strange being face to face with such an important member of our great clubs modern history, and being able to ask so many questions, I bet you could have easily talked for hours 👍. I need to get a copy of Martin's book, I do enjoy a good read up on utd as Martin said, it's pretty rare for a chairmans version of events. I'm too young to remember Docs red army, but my dad, well its all he ever talks about! I swear he holds that guy in the same high regard my generation (born in 75) exclusively hold Fergie in! I share the same surname as Martin and as a kid the joke was 'uncle Martin', my youngest uncle actually knows him and has had tickets off him. in an another interview I've seen, Martin talks a bit more about the re development of the ground, and you really do then get a better understanding of the balancing act he had on his hands, a lack of success on the pitch, and new legislation off it centering around spectator safety and facilities. The hand was forced really wasnt it and he said we had no choice but to become alot more commercial, not pleasant to see in the fans eyes but now you can see he was right, and how lucky we were to have him at the helm. I know David Gill gets a lot of credit nowadays and he did a great job too, Kenyon to a degree aswell played a part. I read big Ron's book, and he said he had a bit of a row with Martin over the potential signing of Terence Butcher, he was told no money was available as it was already put aside for the museum project. What must have seemed a totally idiotic idea to the first team manager at the time, "what do I do on corners then!?? send up the museum!!!!" classic big ron! (I'm sure you are familiar with this story already Pete), the stretty was expensive but totally necessary to meet the requirements brought in sadly (god I loved that place) and all the work Martin was doing did seem mental to us the fans. I for one was taken in by the head keepy uppy of Michael Knighton in front of the stretty! even more so by Neil Webbs goal that day! Apparently the "Premier League" was being mooted at boardroom level as far back as 1986 I believe!, he really did have his work cut out. So really, it all came down to Martin's know how, he knew when it was time for a new manager and he got it absolutely bang on with his appointment of Alexander Chapman Ferguson! I'm so surprised that when we first decided to earmark Fergie that there wasn't more competition for him, maybe there was!? He did a great job along with Fergie eh, with a bit of help from Irving Scholar ex of the Hotspur, and Bill Fotherby at Leeds, thank you chaps for King Eric! as you say Pete, that was a proper "where were you?"moment, pure tele text gold, I'll never forget it 👍 it could so easily have gone a different way had it not been for those mentioned. thanks Pete, take it easy and be lucky

Thanks

I will update you soon
