I wish Mr Gill was still having an impact in the club today like he was years ago, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now

[@DelightfulTutors]

You gotta get the boss S.A.F. up here at least once for posterity

[@Dff158]

my source said INEOS r paying the untied stand and giving them interview with players. my source said mark didn't want to do it for the money but he did it to get interview's cos he want to be the only fan channel that get interview with the players.

[@bluefun22]

I love the fact that he just calls him Alex, like that's his friend. Always takes me a second to realize he's talking about Sir Alex

[@mnb9162]

Has there every been a man who has adopted the word 'sir' that it now basically is his first name.....So ingrained calling him Sir Alex....

[@bluefun22]

​@@mnb9162to be fair I've only spent some reason England I don't really live there, so the men that have been Knighted don't really come up here in the States too often. If Sir Jim does the business probably gonna be the next guy

Oh he does. Draws you into listen and has a warmth and lightness of humour to him. That if you were on the other side of a table trying to do a deal with him. You’d want to please him.

Mr Gill what a guy ❤

[@mnb9162]

When I think of a respectable persona of a CEO for a legacy football club.... It pretty much is David Gill...

[@WilliamGordon-pm9sh]

Mr Gill is the reason we have the Glazers went begging to Florida to get the Glazers to buy United instead of Mcmanus

[@Scottuz]

Fabulous Interview, I've Waited years to hear from Mr Gill, great to hear him sit and tell those stories we've all heard about, in the Lore of Man Utd History, could listen to him talk for hours, well Done Lads, and Rio what a Coup for the Five Channel

Rio and Mr Gill is giving school vibes and it's hilarious 😂🤣

That joker Woodward and the Glazers stood on the shoulders of the 2 giants that are Gill and Fergie. They eeked every bit of juice that they could out of the success they built. I would take David Gill back in a heartbeat! ❤️

[@conorokeeffe6933]

Had the pleasure of meeting Mr Gill outside Wembley before the FA Semi Final against Brighton. Sound bloke and was nice enough to stand in for a picture. He even called Bryan Robson over to say hello. 🔴

Awesome interview. Such an interesting chap and clearly a massive part of everything we’d achieved. Wish we had a set up like that again, hopefully SRJ and SDB will kickstart a new era for us with best in class operators across the board

[@rioferdinandpresents]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RandomVideosFirst]

To this day I remember when I was in college and heard that David Gill secured did two deal in one day, signed Nani in Portugal and an agreement with Anderson in May 2007. Announced on sky news and confirmed on Manu website.

[@compostsmurf5519]

And that was the last excellent transfer window we had...

[@maniaweng]

To be successful working in a sporting insitution, you have to be passionate about the sport, developing your expertise and ideally, even a fan/ supporter of that team too. Our results in the past decade is so-telling on how and what not to hire to run a football club 😮‍💨 I hope SJR, Sir Dave, Jean Claude Blanc and Omar will bring the necessary changes to get us back to the top again.

[@Account_CB]

Absolutely incredible guy & leader - Mr Man Utd! Great insight & loved how he dismissed even talking about Arsenal haha!! 😂❤ Seriously incredible interview & particularly on the oversight of the entire club, vision, strategy & determination to deliver as well as the consideration of all levels of employees at the club...how to get everyone to buy into the philosophy in everything they do. Really impressive & what a coup for this channel.

[@redarmyreactions]

David Gill is a class act. That is what success looks like. Dependable and shrewd.

[@kaizenFM]

Favourite episode yet. Love what you guys are doing. More of this type of content would be brilliant. Not a dig, but it is so nice to have a calm, relaxed conversation. Sometimes the sound is a bit chaotic when Joel gets a bit excited or if he's copping pelters when Arsenal have inevitably dropped off again.

[@NicholasLampart]

Mr Gil we love you even more for your response to Joel 😅😂😂🤣

[@Marvinhagler87]

Rio killing the podcast content!! All others YT channels sit down 🪑!!

[@HurfsJamboree]

Best interview so far. Extremely engaging character. Peak united!

[@reeceyboyy2017]

What a bloke 👏

[@vxrdrummer]

The interview shows how the problems started. We were uniquely run, and it worked with 2 geniuses together steering the ship. When those two left, the model didn't seem set up to work in the modern world without them, and then poor appointments and a model based upon off the field success more than what happens off it, highlighted the flaws in the model, which was perfect if run by certain people I.e. Sir Alex and David Gill because they were special.

[@rosseardley4863]

Best and most original insight in along time from a fan channel. Fantastic 👊🏻

I havnt started this and I want to say thank you.

[@andychatt23]

Contrast him saying how successful you are on the pitch drives everything else at the club compared to Ed Woodward who famously stated that winning trophies will have no correlation to how much revenue United turn over. And that for me has been the biggest problem for the last decade.

The best CEOs dont have huge ego..... You can tell that David Gill is an objective man..... Fair, calm, balanced..... Perfect CEO for fiery, egotistal, erratic Football Managers..... I can see why he was a perfect man to work with Fergie.... Woodward is a bit more of an ego....

[@blex5579]

it`s not abt ego- it`s abt knowledge and intention- that said, the nonchalance, when he described players walking into talks with advisors and lawyers and whatnot tells you everything that`s wrong with football...it`s become the epitome of panem et circenses....totally sordid at this point in time. The reason i barely watch it anymore, i stick to EC/WC, watching you english fail and fail again... from germany ;)

[@mnb9162]

@@blex5579 I disagree.... You can get some very knowledgeable people who fundamentally have good intentions but get blinded by their own ego of being in such a position of power....

[@blex5579]

Woodward`s intention were "make money" from the getgo- bankers background- ZERO knowledge, ZERO intentions for the club. I honestly pity you guys in the long term, and by that i mean the english football in general- shareholder-value is NOT healthy. never was, never will be. in the long run.

[@mnb9162]

In terms of Shareholder value I agree in the short term sense....... Its completely toxic due to the short term viewpoint that kills investing for the long term..... Aka The Glazers completely under investing in infrastructure...

[@blex5579]

there is no end to it- the whole system of shareholder value is based upon quarterlies...you might get lucky ever so often with owners, but in the grand scheme of things it more often than not destroys the business/club/whatever. and i am talking businesses with REAL value, not your NFT-bubble...

Never been the same since we lost his expertise

[@tris421]

hmm the money was there but between 2005-2013 we barely spent.

[@TheLastAngryMan01]

The money was there…for the Glazers to award themselves dividends every year. Consider that we started signing the likes of Michael Owen, Antonio Valencia, Anderson and Phil Jones in the years after the Glazers took over.

[@tris421]

@@TheLastAngryMan01 agree. This is why i wish at least Ste pressed DG a bit more here. Pretty much the only time we actually splashed cash on a player during this time was Berbatov. 'No value in the market' etc. Just as City were building a team that would dominate for the next 10+ years.

[@TheLastAngryMan01]

@@tris421 Yeah. I’d add Robin van Persie as a big money signing, but even that wasn’t huge money, in all honesty. And the last two title winning sides we had were pretty threadbare, with the likes of Darren Fletcher, Park Ji Sung, Danny Welbeck, Phil Jones, Shinji Kagawa etc. being vital players in the squad, Paul Scholes coming out of retirement etc. We were running on fumes even then and it was largely through SAF’s managerial genius that we were still a force.

[@tris421]

@@TheLastAngryMan01 25 mill was pennies for a player like that as he only had a year left. He was a big transfer but not big money. But yeah agree with pretty much everything. I hate it when pundits talk about all the mone we've spent because tbh the real damage was done then.

[@BARGEWALK]

Gill says he had rows with Ferguson. He should have had a row with him over Rock of Gibraltar and put a stop to the unfolding disaster with Coolmore that opened the door to the Glazers. Gill as the leading exec at the club had a responsibility to head this off. He failed.
