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.

That's exactly what a feeder club is.
Is the term "feeder club" meant to be an insult?
M'Vila might go some ways in compensating for Modric's departure. More interested in seeing how Modric will fit in at Madrid.

It's a term for a type of agreement between clubs, can be used as an insult as well though, "Spurs are our feeder club" etc.
Exactly
I know. That's kind of the point I was making regarding giving yourselves four days to replace him.
35m euros + bonuses

Remember this? 
LUKA MODRIC is on his way to Manchester United.
Boss Alex Ferguson has offered Tottenham a £25million fee, rising to £30m based on appearances and success.
Modric, 26, will be handed a four-year deal worth £26m.
His wages of £125,000 a week will put him among the big earners at Old Trafford.
Modric has kept up to date with talks while at Euro 2012 with Croatia and will seal the move on his return.
Spurs held off interest from Chelsea to hold on to the midfielder last year.
The Croatian said he had no intention of quitting Spurs having signed a six-year deal in May 2010.
United boss Fergie signed Japanese star Shinji Kagawa this week and wants Newcastle’s Cheick Tiote and Everton left-back Leighton Baines — but refuses to match the £20m valuations on each.

is Glaston ok?
Yes, I remember, the Euros started that day and I was in Warsaw, offline for two days - I got about ten messages we had signed Modric.Remember this?
Imagine my excitement, imagine my disappointment.
He'll be great for them. Quality player.
I reckon it will be a good signing for Madrid, haven't really got a player like him in their squad.
Wasn't Glaston spouting in the past how Modric wouldn't go for less than 50m?

He has the physique of a ten year old boy.
Bed goes up, bed goes down; bed goes up...
That was last summer (when Spurs turned down a 40m bid from Chelski) - and in relation to a Premier league club.
Get with the times.
Uh huh, sure. Where's that 50m?
Try reading what I posted, dumbo.
Apparently he'll be earning 4.5 million euros a year; i.e. 90k Euros per week i.e. 71k pounds a week.
I'm surprised it's so low tbh. (ESPN)

No.
Anyway, it seems a little late for Real to be signing players, given that their league season may well be over already.
Now Ozil can rest for a bit
moral of the story:
act a cnut, get your move.
act a cnut, get your move.
Play him with Alonso and bench Khedira. Apart from the Barca games.
To be fair to Modric he gave them another year. Then when Levy looked like he was gunna be a cnut about it he must have seen similarities to last Summer so forced it through.
Long term, yes. Right now though Ozil looks a bit knackered.
That's probably the figure after tax.

With my signing-on bonus, I'll be able to buy myself a new pair of jeans.
Yes, Marca quoting it as 90k net, so about 180k Euros (£140k) gross.
That puts him in the Ramos, Alonso, Higuain, Di Maria group in their pay structure.
They're reporting his registration paperwork has come through now, so he may get a run out tomorrow in the Supercopa.
What's these bollocks I'm hearing about the clause in his contract regarding extra money for a potential Ballon d'or award?
Quality player and all that but imo he won't surpass Ozil's level of performance and he himself is some way off getting it.

Yes he has. He also got more quality in his weaker foot than most of oldschool English or any other hardmen. Perhaps a good reminder for the coaches.
He looked very good when he came on. He'll do well
He did what he does normally, I didn't notice anything worth of note. I believe Madrid fans are expecting slightly different player to the kind he is.
First day at work
I'm aware of all of that. Also I don't mean to suggest Modric will improve that much, but that playing on this stage his genius will finally be fully recognized. He'll play to the same level he did against Spain in the Euros, only at Madrid he'll see 3 times as much of the ball. Even from his very short cameo tonight it's clear just how comfortable he is on the ball and how well links the play. This was just a very minor taster. By Chrsitmas he'll be running games from start to finish.
Unreal performance again.
Question: Has he been the best central midfielder in La Liga this season?

I laugh at the suggestions he wasn't good enough for our midfield while he was at Tottenham.
