Manchester United LIED To Get Alex Ferguson | Martin Edwards Reveals All! | The Warm Down

Howson this is one very best interviews of a football man ever. You are seriously good. And Martin deserves a knighthood for his killer decision to hire Fergie. A paradigm shift if ever there was one. Well done to both of yoy

Steven this is brilliant! Your going level to level on guests and content! Would love to have a chat with you about everything United based!

Well done Mr Howson. You get my vote every time for representing the true United supporter. I have followed United since 1965 and agree with your sentiments and views 95 percent of the time. I would like to ask you a question, around the 41min mark in the interview, there was a chop, you had just put across your view on having a director of football. Did Martin change your view on that, or did he take it on board and agree to table the suggestion? I hope the later! Keep up the great work, you are going places mate !!!!! P S The True Geordie is a closet Red !

Oh my God!This is absolute gold🏆 Know some of the stories from reading United books but to hear him tell it gives you goosebumps Well done Mr.Howson👍🏽

At this rate - you'll reach a 100K pretty soon.. keep up the good work Stephen - I understand that it takes A LOT to get the required people to this Warm down podcast

This is brilliant, well done. Your journalistic skills, presenting and your line of questioning have improved steadily but markedly over the past year or so. It's good to see. This guy clearly gets football and united in a way I'm not convinced the current leadership does. I also agree we have fallen behind in terms of organisation of the club compared to other big clubs. How we don't have a proper chief exec and separate Director of football/sporting director/technical director, I don't know. I'm not convinced woodward is a football man.

I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST INTERVIEWS I'VE EVER WATCHED IN RELATION TO MANCHESTER UNITED. ABSOLUTELY RIVETED WATCHING IT FROM START TO FINISH. YOUR QUESTIONS WERE EXCELLENT AND IT FELY LIKE I WAS EAVESDROPPING ON YOU HAVING A CHAT WITH MR EDWARDS OVER A PINT. SO REFRESHING TO WATCH/HEAR A WELL EDUCATED UNITED FAN AND LOCAL LAD DELVE INTO SOME GREAT DETAIL ON UNITED HISTORY. WELL DONE STE LAD...SHOWING A LOT OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA HOW ITS DONE!!!!

Very good interview. I was a regular supporter at the end of Big Ron, also watching the beginnings of the Ferguson era. I remember there was discord from some United fans about Sir Alex, but being at Nottm Forest when Robins got that goal, the fans seemed just delighted for Sir Alex, the press had kind of built it up that if we lost he would be sacked, so I believe he was well supported from the fan base. It’s nice that you want a manager to be given time to build something, I hope and believe Ole will build something, his signings have been really good. Brilliant about Busby, yeah to me he will always eclipse any manager, because he built this giant, Fergie restored it. So well done to you for asking good questions. Long live United, whatever our future holds, we will always be the best supported because we have amazing fans. 😀

Enjoyed every minute of this interview, can’t believe it’s only got 44k views! Your missing out on a lot of great history and inside if of our great club!

I don't know why but I've always took a shine to Martin Edward. And think about this he is an Angel compared to what we have now🙏

Needed this video to unwind after the result. Thanks for reminding me how enormous a club Manchester United is and how no other English team can come close to us.

Excellent interview Ste, good insight to our past and to the days when the media insight wasn't around unlike today 👍👍

Really enjoyed this, interesting to have a look at the behind the scenes at united and the possible direction the club nearly went.

My favourite interview to date!! The man behind the man!! What a class act!!! Great job mr Howsen

This is one of your best and most informative videos. You’re going places, lad.

This was great, thanks Stephen. Top quality content!

Superb interview - hardly ever comment on ITvid videos, but as a life long United fan I stumbled across this, Amazing insight! Well done Stephen

Nice one Howson. Top content once again with the kind of interviews fans want to see. I may not always agree with your views 100% of the time, but that's football isn't it. Great watch and a great channel that seems to be going from strength to strength. I know it's a tough ask but try and get Ravel Morrison boxed off if you can!

Great interview, very interesting and brings back a lot of memories, well done steven

Cheers Howson. I'm only 20 so this to me was fantastic to listen too, you really pulled one out the bag here. Truly loved it, mad respect bro.

wow..,one of the best interview Mr.Howson..!!! Please keep doing these kind of stuffs !! you are really moving forward.., more history for new generation kids about our club.! I really enjoyed the talk with your grand dad as well !! March on on on !!

Absolutely love learning about the past of the club, cheers Howson

Jesus Howson pulling the great interviews out of the bag. Fair play.

Incredible interview. Hats off Howson, that was wonderful.

Other than the sound issue, a brilliant interview brimming with insights. I think you may go on to do a lot of things, Howson, but this will still be your peak moment.

I know it was almost 12 months ago but this is a great video, great listening to how Manchester United became the club I have always known them to be 🇾🇪❤️

Solid content. Not sure about other's but Martin's volume needed to be turned up a pinch for me.

One of the best videos I’ve seen a while. Been watching you a very long time Stephen and this is pure brilliance more guests like these please mate (evra wink wink)

What a great interview. I listen to you and Adam every day. Living in Tampa Florida, great to keep up with all thing United!!! Thanks Stephen!!

Great video Stephen, a pretty insightful watch for a 17 year old united fan

This is a quality conversation about Manchester United. Very good to you Howson. Me being new to the United fanatic club (Mourinho and Pogba brought me over) got a welcoming insight into the history of the club.

Great interview Stephen. Enjoyed it very much. Well done.

Brilliant interview Stephen, more like this please...

Great one Stephen, appreciate you posting stuff like this. 👍

Great interview Steve! In my opinion Matt Busby was the best manager ever and is not credited no where near enough, he really did put United on the map and was an incredible person! You really touched on some very interesting points there mate, Knighton deal, Cantona deal, Brian Kidd suggested signing of Sheringham, how the Champions league started, Batistuta none deal (I was so desperate for us to sign him) but I was just curious to see all these months later how you feel about Mourinho staying on now and being given more time? Personally I am against him spending our money when he has yet to get the best out of his signings Pogba, Sanchez, Lindolf and of course Miki. I honestly think we have the players to play a United brand of football and win trophies but we don't have the manager who knows or wants to play our brand of football and I to very honest I really can not climb over that personal barrier mate! I am not convinced the players believe in Mourinho anymore also and I think our successful 2016/17 season was largely due to Ibra and not just his goals but the fact his teammates looked at him as our leader and believed we could always win with him in our starting line up. Love to get thoughts mate but once again congrats on a job well done, a really top notch interview mate!

Great interview! Very insightful. I know it is not what this video is about, but as a Hungarian, I was surprised that Mr. Edwards knew some stats about Puskás. A small suggestion: It could be good to have a link to amazon in the description so those of who are interested could find the book quicker. Thanks for the book recommendations : Gonna chech out Mr. Edwards` book, Duncan Edwards: The Greatest as well and since you were talking about Sir Matt Busby, just found this new book which is called - Sir Matt Busby: The Definitive Biography.

If I remember correctly, Martin Edwards was not very popular with the fans early on, many felt he didn't earn the position, and he was only there for the money. (The Media didn't help matters either, and he was a easy target.) I also remember how some fans were gutted when the buyout fell through. You have to give him props though, he turned the club around, stuck with SAF when even then many clubs would have sacked him. Great video mate, one of the best interviews I've seen in a while, it's not often you get people talk so openly in interviews, and that was a amazing insight into how the club was run,, You should get Big Ron next.

This was class! Absolute class, we gotta be careful, if BBC see this, we might lose Howson... Think this may be the best video you've done!

This was fantastic! Great job Howson.

This is your best yet Howson! Absolutely loved it

excellent interview keep it up howson would love to see more of these sort of videos

wow. Hats off Howson. this is the kind of video that deserves 1 mill likes and i hope you get em. Brilliant Content. Love it.

I remember Sir Bobby being interviewed after the league win in 1993 that the team Fergie had built could dominate for 10 years. Right prediction other than severe underestimation of length of time.

Fantastic interview Ste, fascinating insight from Mr Edwards

Bloody excellent interview mate. He seems like a very nice man.

Excellent Podcast Stephen! Thanks!

Number 14 on the trending page, well done mate, smashing job as usual! 👍🏼

I’m not a united fan but this was very interesting. Imagine a manager today going to the chairman like Atkinson did and then being backed! Different world of football. A story like Ferguson can never happen now. He would be fired within those three underperforming seasons today.

Your greatest interview, Lad! Brilliant!

Remember watching the Dortmond champions league games and KING CANTONA was out of sorts in both games could tell something was gonna happen with him that season I always remember thinking he played better in Prem than Europe

Fascinating interview. Will definitely be buying the book. M.U.F.C

Wow. That was a brilliant listen on my way to work. So much insight, well done Mr Howson! Could you please line up David Gill and Fergie next ;)

Brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed the video! Well done Howson! ☺️

Excellent mate, Easily the best hour of my day. Thanks a lot :)

Great video mate, must have been great to listen to Edwards, guy knows a lot about Football!

i really like these podcasts keep it going howson

Brilliant, keep this quality content coming !!

I was part of the Fergie out brigade in the autumn of 1989. I went to our game against spurs in the 3rd round of the league cup in October 1989 and we got beat 3-0 and it was depressing. The following game was a 2-1 win over Southampton at Old Trafford. We were so inconsistent that season, I didn’t know what I was going to see from one game to the next. Shows what I know though!!!

Martin is still extremely sharp for his age and had a good memory still very interesting watch

I love this game, I love your work and I love this club.

Another great post Howson, keep up the good work

Thoroughly enjoyed this very informative and entertaining!

this is top Ste, thank you for making this. absolute mint.

I'm so glad Michel knighton never got the sale it could of changed everything at utd I don't believe we would have been as succesful Martin is a legendary figure here at Utd and we should never forget that.

Great chat,watching from USA.Come on United!I'd love to chat sometime about what it's like here as a fan.

good to see Stephen interview Michael Palin.🤣 Genuinely Martin is an absolute legend, I wish he was still running tings at Old Trafford.

Brilliant , loving these interviews

Wicked video! Loved listening to Martin's point on things ! :)

How have I only just seen this video 🙈 great interview Howson 👍🏻

What a man he was, I'm an Aberdeen fan and I'm glad Aberdeen got mentioned in this video as most people don't care about his history before he joined man united

Great video man keep the content up!

Brilliant interview Mr Howson

Absolutely Banging Howson mate, keep up the great work sannnnnnnn

Howson growing into the greatest, most intelligent and passionate football channel on ITvid!

Quality interview Stephen. What are the chances of you getting a face to face with Sir Alex?

Bang on the money.. Top guest and a great interview..

Great interview Howson!

41:34 I think you are basically describing my dream job Mr Edwards

Hey Steve, great video! One question though. I noticed you didn't ask him about the Glazer takeover. Did he not want to talk about that on camera?

Great video Steve, really enjoyed it.

Awesome interview man 👍👍

#19 on trending, well deserved.

Mr. Edwards and his colleagues form that board then seem uniquely qualified to scout for and select Man Utd managers. They should get back together, brainstorm for a month or two, and come up with Mourinho's successor. Man Utd should have that lined up already. Get "the band" back together and find us another Sir Alex Ferguson.

Very well done interview, your questions were on point and the flow was really good. Test those mics out next time, had to turn it up while he spoke and turn it down when you did. Still great video

I think this is your best interview so far

Good interview well done.

what a fantastic interview. thanks a lot mate. your questions and responses were perfect. i am a lifelong supporter of THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD, firstly from the 1966 world cup when i first saw Bobby Charlton and Nobby Styles. I remember the wilderness years, all he wanting and yearning for success, the rivalry with liverpool and the second coming of alex fergusson. it has been such a wonderful passion of mine for so long. i have never seen such a great interview with martin edwards. it was so on the money. thanks again stephen.

Amazing... Tho i wish youd asked him his opinion on the snake Kenyon leaving with years of scouting and work to a rival club... He wasnt chair then but ill bet he was raging

great interview very interesting watch and martin is gentleman

This was most excellent Mr. Howson.

Why does everyone talk about sacking their manager after losing to Watford. They lost 5-1 but so did Chelsea and Spurs that season.

Howson getting taught by Edwards. interesting stuff from Edwards

It always baffled me why van da sar went to Fulham and didn’t replace the Great Dane now we know👍

Outstanding, another classic Ste!

Absolute class this 👏🏼

Awesome interview!

Fantastic interview Bro.
