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.
I sometimes can't comprehend the fact that Ronaldo is a legend for two of the biggest clubs in the world in one lifetime. Crazy player
Smart of you to recognize that without bringing up Messi like 99% of Cristiano’s mentions, his only mistake is going to Saudi, his star has diminished since the media don’t really follow him there as greatly.
And dominated for one of Italy’s biggest clubs too
He's a legend for Juve as well, scored 100 goals in 3 years, and won 3 major trophies
People mentioning Juve are completely right. Scoring 100 goals in 3 seasons is complete madness
@@pedropierre9594 Bro whole world eyes are in Saudi, He literally changed the Saudi's future, every great player is moving to Saudi following his footsteps, I don't think any other player has that capability to do it and ever will be
Whoever’s idea it was to split it into 4 videos dropped a bollock
Honestly, the guy needs sacking
Money
Nah it’s good
4 videos means 4 different bags 💰 THEY KNOW YOU WILL WATCH ALL 4 CAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE 😂
The full interview is there too
David Gill is really well mannered and calm. Can see how he was the ying to Fergie's yang.
Ffs..or back in reality gill and Ferguson are directly responsible for the glazers taking full ownership of the club and they have supported them every year of their reign.
This fanbase absolutely deserves the glazers
@@dairefinnie1533SAF and Gill directly responsible for what the Galzer’s have done to the club? You know sometime you hear someone make a statement and your opinion of them changes regardless of what they do in future, this is one of those comments.
@@sighfly2928 awww..another so called fan who doesn't know his own clubs history..and who can't read a post properly. Try reading it again and come back to me
@@dairefinnie1533I very much know my clubs history and there a fallout with Fergie and JP McMaus too, but the question is, what are YOU doing in this chat 🤡? We don't want bitter people here
Wasn't really my point. Separate discussion. There could be a degree of truth to what you said, but again 0 to do with my point.@@dairefinnie1533
Love how rio still calls him Mr Gill, sign of massive respect
Ronaldo has put up the numbers and statistics of legends, at not 1, not 2 but 3 of the biggest clubs in each of the top 3 leagues, all in one lifetime.
Greatest of all times.
🐐
The greatest means the most trophies, which must include a world cup.. agreed????
The best must include the most important individual accolades, with the most man of the matches, most tournament best players at international level and club level, most top scorers top assists etc.... agreed??????
That isn't Cristiano ronaldo I'm sorry to tell yas.
@@abcdefgh-hy9op🥱🥱🥱🙄🙄🙄
@@abcdefgh-hy9opnot necessarily. I mean, sure - Messi who Im guessing you’re referring to might have the goat title regardless.
But imagine if Messi was as good as he is, did what he did at club level, but was born in Somalia. He can’t be judged for not winning the world cup.
And furthermore - he only won it last year. People were saying he was the greatest before he won it.
What's his head to head record like against Messi?
This would have so much better as one episode to sink teeth into
Not good for YT monetisation though.
@@jt5765 go content first for longevity and the views/money will follow
Just loved Mr Gill interviews, keep them coming lads. Outstanding
David Gill and Alex Ferguson were a dream team
Fascinating keep the content coming boys
Great Interview Well Done guys, Huge Coup for five, cannot wait for the Friday Interview
Hope it's who I think it is
Really appreciate getting such fantastic insights into a brilliant man who steered my club. I couldn’t how it’s presented when the content is so good.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great interview guys. Well done
M gonna wait for all the parts to come out then watch it back to back
Nice video Rio! Remember seeing you strolling through the Metro Center in Gateshead, England, when I was just a kid!
Pretty cool that is man!
he was with some beautiful blonde woman and I had barely started puberty, I was encouraged to go over and ask if it was rio ferdinand to his face as I finally guessed who the player looked like.. but then I seen the hot blonde and barely having a single pube, i decided that it most likely was not him and opted out, basically because did not want to build his ego and be laughed at by the hot blonde.. weird how you think when you are a kid lol. @@habilhussain3387
ask him why we replaced Ronaldo and Tevez with Valencia Obertan and Owen
Needed more Vibranium😁
Fergusson was such a good head coach and his tactics was so good that he could win with lesser players. But he didn't even realise that himself. The last seasons of his stay at Old Trafford United
08/09 bought Berbatov and Da Sliva brothers, lost Saha, Pique
09/10 lost Cr7 and Tevez and added Valencia, Obertan, corpse of Owen
10/11 added Smalling and Chicharito
11/12 lost Van Der Saar, Neville, Brown, Macheda, O'Shea, Scholes retired and Came back, Pogba, lost Berbatov mid season, added- Jones, De Gea, Young, Cleverley, Welbeck came back from a loan
12/13 he lost J.S.park and M.Owen and added Van Persie, Kagawa and Butner.
And then Scholres retires and United Adds Fellaini and Mata in January of 2014
As you can see Fergusson was an amazing coach thag could win with lesser players but he let the team get old and bad at the end. The Man United rebuilt didn't work very well post Champions League final. He let the team get bad. Then Moyes inherrited a somewhat bad team and finished 7th. Van Gaal had to get rid of almost everyone but he failed to replace them. Thats ultimately what happened
1. GOAT Fergusson could carry bad players like Cleverley
2. He was so good that didn't realise team was getting bad and needed replacing
3. United never replaced the core of players after Van Gaal got rid of the ancient players.
4. Other coaches were never nearly as good as Fergusson. And some tranfer windows like the 2018 Summer one were very very bad.
@@erikpuka2627that’s the truth
This guy still seems sharp, wish he was at the club
In parts waiting for thumbs up to release it from Mr Gill
The subtitles/CC button shot itself.
Rio should have done this interview by himself. Some of the questions the other guys are asking are embarrassing
I agree. They're out of their depth
I’m still baffled how we lost ronaldo and tevez in the same season and replaced them with obertan and owen. Bare in mind we had the 80m in the bank account from madrid. Criminal behaviour
Debt repayments after the banking collapse.
United’s decline started at the end of 2008
Crazy that Ronaldo is the best number 7 for both Manchester United and Real Madrid club history and the only player who deservedly won the Ballon D'or whilst playing in multiple clubs.
Ronaldo is nothing compared to Best and Cantona.. May be Madrids best 7, he’s not United’s best 7, no way.
@@Primitive01he’s clear of cantona. Best was better at dribbling but ronaldo was better at everything else
@@Primitive01 nah Ronaldo is the complete player in every aspect, leadership, goals, skills, stats, awards, trophies I mean he really was a gem in the making when he first came. He's clear of Cantona and Best.
@@seijusmoke8672 No he’s not.
fr
I would have prefered to have just chilled for a couple of hours and listened to the full sit down.
Ronaldo is a legend 😊
I wished they would’ve asked Gill if the initial plan to replace CR7 and Tevez was with Valencia/Obertan and Owen…cant possible be true
We need Mr Gill to publish a book on all those player files! 8:09
Can understand why Mr Gill didn't answer some questions but he barely revealed anything new on most topics. Really wanted to know what deals got away.

Is there any logic to why you not just released this a full episode? These little 10 mins things are frustrating
what is the thinking behind 5 parts? Serious question anymore to come?
Fergusson was the real general manager. He called the shots. He knew everything and everybody. He was a one man wrecking crew. He was involved everywhere.
He was the structure. No one could fill his shoes. And united didn't wanna build those structures. I hope ineos does.
1:10 offff with his head
Ste you should of asked with he was ever in for Wesley Sneijder!
Goat
Let's be Honest the day we seen R7 sporting. We all knew The Boy always wanted Madrid some day. Thank god I got to see the Man play. 👏
We missed a trick not putting a Ballon d'Or clause when we sold CR7. Even if it was £5m for each time he won it, that would've been another £25m. Lol
Yes £25m straight into the Galzer’s pockets
True
If only Rio could get Fergie and Other players in the room and ask questions Booom!
I remember the summer of 2009 being extremely downbeat about the loss of Ronaldo and Tevez. To be honest I still think we had a better squad than Barcelona in 2009, and then all of a sudden our squad looked quite bare without Ronaldo and Tevez. Yes, we lost the league narrowly in 2010 and won it twice after, but honestly we were never the same after 2009. Always wonder what we could've done if we kept those 2.
Probably the thing man city is doing these past 7 years..
Probably would’ve dominated football with Barca, they would’ve met in the CL Finals again 100%
One of the players I'm convinced he must be so begrudged that we never got was Luca Modric from Tottenham. What a player and his longevity 😭
Get Sir Alex on the podcast that would be absolutely incredible
For the people moaning about it getting released in parts, 5 videos equal far more clicks than one video.
CR7 🐐
Just release this in one part ffs
Won’t lie this is PEAK content😪
I just wonder imagine if we did get Ronaldinho
Writing down every interaction with clubs and agents so if any future deals arise they know how to handle them and what to expect. Bet we dont do that anymore!
Ronaldo was effectively identified by the players and the number he did on John O’Shea. Simple as that.
The most significant question would have been: “The decline in Manchester United is associated with the Rock of Gibraltar situation as this led to the takeover of the club by a parasitic business group. In retrospect, did you do enough to stave this takeover off and could you have identified earlier this existential threat to our great club?”
Ste conveniently angled to cover his black eye lol... can also see the makeup
next time, just release one long video
Can’t believe you didn’t ask him about
Bebe 😉
Rio pls pls get the boss on you can do it Rio pls,that would break yt❤
Jesus Christ lads you've dragged these videos out. Whose ever idea this was has had a nightmare.
The time when the Mun United was on the top of the world.
Now the Mun United CEOs want to win trophies with players like Marcus Rashford, and Martial, they are ridiculous. If those two players played in that era, they would have been bench warmers, and they would have been happy with that role.
Does Howson have 2 blackeyes here?! Or is it eyeshadow?! 😂
I am a China Hong Kong football fans, recently suffer from disrespectful Messi and Beckham. The kids are so disappointed that Messi didnt not play.
Please can you guys give us a fair judgement call?
Let’s be real Rio if Man U would got Ronaldinho instead of Ronaldo Man U would of had the same Ronaldo’s hard work and mindset was determined and Ronaldinhos party life would of not worked out with Man United culture Ronaldo was still the best pick and one of the best eras of Man united history
Cant believe he didnt tell us 1 player that got away. 😢
Steve Sidwell
Peter crouch
Cristiano love collective attacking football, and united at that time play kinda defensive with direct counter attack.
Being brutally honest, sounds like emotion over negotiation lost us Ronaldinho.. should of told his bro whatever Barca offer we will beat it.
Bruh, not complaining but how many episodes of these are there actually?
Really enjoying the exact same intro to every one of the videos. 😒😒
at their peak, Ronaldo wanting to leave for Real like Ganarcho shows how small a club United that players in their prime would choose a bigger club instead of growing their career with United.
😂😂😂
Worst troll ever.
Who split this vid up😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ronaldo wanted real madrid. I'm shocked
80 million up front and we signed has in Michael owen, never gonna be in Obertan and no where near ronaldo in antonio Valencia
What about djemba djemba? 😂...the man was so good they named him twice
Why does Steve has a black eye lol?
He was dying to say then I think he wanted to say Steven Gerrard
No brazillian on earth is choosing Manchester over, Mardrid or Barca
Or PSG, these days.
State of pillow fists Howson trying to hide his shiner
I’d av loved to av asked; what happened to all the money Mr Gill from the Ronaldo sale cos 16M was spent on Valencia and Micheal Owen was free…those Glazer 🐀 must av long term NDA’s on these people
you should have asked where those 80 million went, because they were not spent
Man United tried to get tevez on the cheap. Scandalous losing a great player over messing about.
what is the propose of the interview he did not say anything new and cutting the video made it worse
Man Utd got RVP for cheap even buy 2012 stands
Whoever decided on this new format of shorter, multiple videos, needs to get sacked.
Drip drip drip…
Ronaldinho didn't fancy it, ronaldo wanted to move to the biggest club
Yet utd fans will tell you they're the biggest club in the world 🤦♂️
Yeah he did i never supported him after that. Sorry he didn’t stay here to help us win more ucl’s and his more Madrid legend, but his united legend, but bigger for madrid. Event when came back I didn’t want him back.
Please buy carlos tevez back to man united
How many parts is there in this dumb interview ?
This is just a very bad idea a good interview now looks very bad
This Mr Gill stuff is joke. I get it a few times but every few seconds Mr Gill Mr Gill is begging it.
Milking it
Not a fan of 4 different videos at all...
Messi is the Goat
One of the stupidest decision you guys made to break this podcast down to clips. Ruined it. Nonetheless grateful for the content. Thank you
Tevez great player liked him but after he went to city i saw him as a traitor
His economic rights were owned by some dodgy dudes, as often happens with South American footballers.
Players Gill missed out on Benzema, Fernando Torres, John Obi Mikel, Michael Essien, Raphael Varane, Xavi and Michael Ballack to name a few.
He was never the best at getting players when other truly massive clubs were in for them too.
Come on now every club will have moments like this
He's the best
Robben aswell
Let’s be honest Manchester is a harder sell to a lot of these players wifes etc
you know EVERY club misses out on players right?
For a multitude of reasons
@@huna1950The most understated influence in the transfer market
😂😂😂penaldo 6 league titles in 24 years... PR out of the roof 😂😂
5 Champions leagues though
5 ballon d'ors and got robbes in 2018. If it was easy - everyone would do it.
@@erikpuka2627won a Euros as well with Portugal
It's 7 actually
jesus christ he's hard to listen to. errr errr rerrr rerrrrrerrrrr. Painful.
Let’s see how you talk when you get to that age lmao
