In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Berba is now a £35m player according to the Skysports reporter
Your not a scouser are you??
Eh? I'm talking about the fans who were present at Elland Road tonight, I wasn't there, hence 'yous'.
I didn't need your post explaining - but that's what scousers say to express that they are talking about more than one person, ordinary folk use 'you' or 'you lot'. Was only taking the piss ffs.

We say it here too. Please don't say I sound like a scouser, I couldn't take that.

Oh, you came across as a simpleton of some sort in your post, so thought it needed breaking down. I didn't realise the scousers were the only group who are meant to say 'yous'. I'm pretty sure your piss taking whooshed most the thread.

I presume from his username he's scottish...
Irish, lad.

ooh handbags - wind your neck in.
Yeah, we need to go back to the old-school way of having loads of players loaned out, eh Weaste? That's definitely not a modern phenomenon, is it, oh venerable sage of all football knowledge?
Have you been drinking or just had a bad day?
Not to mention Danny Simpson and Chris Eagles netting for Newcastle and Bolton. Imagine if they could have done that when they played at United.

Yep, definitely scottish. Only Weegies and Scousers can take offense and try and turn everything into a fight so easily.
It's not quite as simple as that, but there are many ways to do it. The idea is to give experience to youth players without having to go through the nonsense of loans.
One example could be you pick your A team squad of 25, and five of those could be listed as reserve (ie. allowed to play in either A or B but no more than say 40 matches per season). All the other players in the B have to be say under 23 but are allowed to be called to the A under necessary/emergency circumstances. Add to that say that any other player that has not been in the A squad (starter or bench) for 5 or more matches can play for the B team - that should take care of injured players coming back. No more than 3 players over the age of 23 at the start of the season ever being able to play in one match (starting or bench).
However you might want to work it, the idea is a valid one, but obviously, if introduced, the B teams would have to start at the bottom of the league structure and work their way up.
Forgot about Simpson, it won't be long before most teams in the prem have an ex United in their starting 11.
How about not playing in this shit competition?
Firstly that just sounds massively over-complicated and contrived, which leads onto my other problem with it, which is how it skews the league for other clubs. Having a team in a league who can't be promoted totally destroys the purity of the competition for me.
Btw - what happens if all 20 Prem clubs have their B teams in the Championship, and the next four clubs have their B teams in League 1? Three of those 4 are guaranteed promotion, with the teams relegated from the Championship decided entirely by which A teams get relegated from the Prem?
All this because you don't like the Carling Cup? It's all insane, let's just stick with the current system that works well.
Why not? I enjoyed this evening, and I get the feeling most people here did. If you don't enjoy some matches, nobody is forcing you to watch, and much less to waste an evening in a matchday thread about it.
What's that got to do with the point he made?
Exactly. Fact is it's always nice to beat Leeds!
Nothing, he was just trying to detract attention form having been rumbled...
Who'd have thought, Weaste is a JCL post-93 plastic!
A lot, the system is all wrong!
Is that why you've got sand in your vagina? Because it doesn't explain your nonsensical bs rambling at me earlier.
They do this in Spain, the B team simply forfeit their place for the teams below. It's not as if this system isn't actually already in place and untried. Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Valdes, etc. all came through this system! It's not as if it makes a bollocks of the league structure either, Vila Real B and Barcelona B are 14th and 16th currently in the Spanish second division (all the others are way lower than that). Some of these teams even have C teams way down the league.
Nah, still don't like it. Fine as it is.
Your inability to understand something is not my problem!
You should try reading my posts before spouting off bollocks.
Here Weaste, calm yourself. Remember that times when you said Welbeck was never going to make it here? That was fun. You were just making a obvious, completely fair point that any non-simpleton would agree with, of course...and yet, look what's happening there.
That got me thinking, it's not far off now:
City: Tevez, Hargeaves
Chelsea: Mikel
Stoke: Shawcross, Pugh, Higginbottom
Everton: Neville, Howard, Saha
Wolves: Ebanks-Blake
Norwich: Fox, De-Laet
Wigan: Jones
Fulham: Greening
WBA: Foster
Bolton: Eagles
Newcastle: Simpson, Smith
Sunderland: Richardson, Bardsley, Brown, O'Shea
70% of the 'other' clubs have at least one ex-United player in the team.
Weaste I love the English League system, it's one of the last remaining throwbacks of the English fairness.
Premier League
Championship
Division One
Division Two
Conference
Conference North and Conference South
Northern, Southern and Isthmian Premier Divisions
Then it gets more and more regional obviously. There are no "reserve" teams playing in the English league system until step 11 (I believe). Every club is unique, and has unique fans. The whole reserves in the leagues thing is a great idea for the big clubs, but it wouldn't be good for anyone else. If it's that important reduce the Football Leagues to 20 teams and play friendlies, but I guarantee they won't take them seriously.
There is obviously no good answer, the closest I'd think would possibly work is a group stage before a cup but they tried that in spain and it was a massive failure, although knowing them it was a 4 team double round robin.
