Why split this kind of amazing interviews in 1-2-3 parts? Bring us as usual old times, when you just sit and watch it at once

for real, maybe they want to split it because the topics are different but i agree with you, its a bit silly

[@troyellington7099]

I genuinely think it's dumb as well and will affect the numbers bcuz I know most fans sit and watch the entire episodes for these types of interviews....and this isn't particularly long either. So they're tryna build anticipation but I think it will have the opposite effect. Some will watch one and don't watch the second but might catch the 3rd. Just give us the full interview first and then in 3 days you can start splitting it like the Katt Williams interview

thanks guy i am a 51 year old man utd fan and always said sir alex and mr gill are 2 men that have given me so much happiness , so many smiles alone with the many teams they both built together, such a privilage to listen and watch , thank you mr gill , much respect and many of us owe you so many smiles

Fascinating interview, need to get more people like David Gill on the channel, the fact he started his career as an Accountant then became CEO of United is crazy impressive

[@BelfastManUtdTherapy]

Agreed, but no-one becomes an accountant to account. They do it for a well paid career, nothing passionate, just crunching numbers all day. Every single day. And its their clients they go for for favours. On the outside the CEO sounds great, but your still stuck behind a desk 11 hours a day, albeit a fancy desk and a massive wage.

[@Thai.Farang]

Yeah. No one sits behind a desk all day in return for a wage do they?

[@DatboyBuj]

I am loving Part 1 of the interview already!!! This man is what a CEO should be like. Way to carry yourself Sir.

Would like to thank you Mr Ste especially your wife and kids for sharing you with all the Fans. It's not an understatement to say that what you do takes you away from your family but know we are also your family. This has been a culmination of your hard work over the years to bring us United Rio and Paddok fans so close to Mr Gill. I know you have your list of greats to interview I'm sure you do but I cant wait for you and Sir alex to sit down .thank you for working so hard thank your wife and kids for sharing you with all of us to bring us closer to United. Thank you Rio for seeing the potential but also the current talent of this man and not only being an icon and mentor to him.. keep him close keep him safe. He represents all fans world wide.from Africa all the way to Manchester. ❤😊

Great interview. Really liked the fact he cut through alot of the nonsense/narratives that get bandied about amongst our fanbase, particularly when it comes to the Debt issue. He essentially says it's not a major issue. It has some effect, but was never the reason United couldn't go out and buy a player. Straight from the horses mouth.

Thank you David Gill for all the hard work in Man U

[@BARGEWALK]

Gill and Ferguson knew there was no point asking for large spending under the Glazers because the money was not there! It is a devious way Gill puts this. City was buying players like Aguero, Silba and others around 2010. Where was United? Michael Owen on a free!!

[@Timekeeper1200]

Rooney, Ronaldo, Berbatov, Van Persie, Carrick ect all came in for decent money (at the time)

[@BARGEWALK]

Roney and Ronaldo were pre-Glazer which makes the point. Facts are United's transfer spending compared to rivals decreased markedly between 2005-13 @@Timekeeper1200

[@Timekeeper1200]

@@BARGEWALK the Glazer's have rarely been outbid for players. Too much so at times-to the point where they overspend! For all their (many) faults they have always made money available for transfers. It's just been spent on $hite.

[@ohheyitskevinc]

Not sure what part 3 will bring, but (and I say this with all respect because Ste knows), I was a little disappointed in the discussion around the debt (and kudos Ste for bringing up the total interest payments since 2005), but this was a great opportunity to bring up the lack of investment in the ground and training facilities since the Glazers took over. I wasn’t in the south stand - I’m in K - so I don’t know if it leaked back then too, but the fact is - it leaks and does in N2402 where I am. I’d have asked if Ineos plan to do something with the infrastructure and stadium and why the Glazers put zero £ into the infrastructure since 2005. Maybe there were agreements on topics not to bring up, but as a match going fan - that’s what I’d want to hear more about. Especially as a director who I’m sure at some point in the last 18/19 years would have said “Joel/Brian - I’m getting piss wet through, when are you going to fix that?”

[@ColsPlaying]

That was good. Interesting highlighting the leaky roof and that success does cover up issues.
