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.
Oh my Olly!
I'm sure we've paid Mendes quite a few bucks over the years so can't see problem paying Raiola as well. Necessary evil of some sorts.
No. I wrote white text. Go see.
If it's not the day though, a lot of people including myself will be doubting again as all of our eggs are in the Italian journalist basket right now. Nothing from BBC, The Telegraph ect. I'll suspect bullshit.
Thats a weird post.
Maybe it's Miami Ohio.
Someone needs to show this to Woody. Make it happen internet!
Haha Carrick mediocre, at least we know you know nothing about football. Ignore function has never been more apt here

Klopp thinks we are silly to spend so much on one player
Yeah better to spend it on Wij, Mane and Benteke instead
Liverpool just can't attract world class players is their problem. Poor Kloppy
I don't really understand what Klopp is trying to say. I don't think he understands it himself.
Don't you mean Sir Woody of the Muppets?
Miami University at Oxford do have sports teams though, you may be on to something.
The others is mainly Di Marzio. That was when the story initially broke. Doesn't Romano work for/with Di Marzio anyway? It's more likely that they would have got a more accurate figure as time passed since the initial Di Marzio article.
With regards to who gives a feck, I do, other fans will. Heck SAF gave enough of a feck to write about Hazard's agent demanding £8m as being obscene in his autobiography. Paying an agent €20m is disgusting and sends out the wrong message about our club to other agents. €20m isn't short change to the club either, they drag our players all over the world on preseason and those games accumulate at most the amount we've just reportedly paid Raiola. I would much rather the club I support was sensible with its money and looked at rewarding the fans, investing more into the local community etc or even waived these gloried oversees friendlies and just played friendlies at home in England, that's far better preparation for the season that racking up thousands of air miles.
Anyway I'm in a tiny minority with this view so I'll make this my last contribution to this thread.
He is just worried about him costing so much and getting injured...
He is trying to say its not okay to spend £100m on one player but its okay to buy three players that cost £100m in total.

I was impressed with what I saw of Mane v Chelsea tbf.
Yeah I was just replying to the tweet that guy posted,it easy to say its tomorrow after the 48 hours announcement yesterday,
Miami is also the 4th largest urban area in the U.S. if United wanted they could have easily found a place in Miami to do the physical. Reputable places with connections to major sports teams.
Now as mentioned we might have a working relationship with a facility in LA

He tries to sound cool. Tries.
Impressed enough to spend £32m on him?
I'm not gonna argue with you about the money, your view is entirely reasonable, but just to pick up on the bit in bold, the club do a hell of a lot in that regard and should really publicise it much more than they do.
And also something about passing the ball because football is a team sport? Earth-shattering revelations.
Not to pile on (you said you didn't think much about it, so no problem), but even if other teams wouldn't lend their facilities, the Glazers own an NFL team with top of the line facilities that is just a couple of hundred miles away from Miami (4 hours by car, probably an hour and half in that Lamborghini that Pogs was driving around in, and less than an hour by plane).Yeah but I still don't see why other sports team would lend their facilities or staff to other teams (except for the ones with shared owners). Point still stand it may be easier to schedule a time in a larger city. Anyway, the post was not too well thought of I do admit that, and it's getting late. I'll take my shame
Also, teams lend their facilities to soccer/football teams all the time when they are in the US on these tours. In fact, the owner of the Miami Dolphins owns the International Champions Cup that we have participated in the last 3 years, and which they'll definitely want us to participate in during future pre-seasons. With the draw that we are for that tournament, especially after the mess in China, I think he would bend over backwards to help us.
"Klopp has vowed to walk away from football if the sport becomes more about spending money on the world’s best players and less about building a great team spirit."
He is aware that he joined a BPL team right? This league hasn't been about football for a long time.

yes. But one player can be a huge difference to a team. tbh only Mourinho will know how important Pogba will be to us. He is willing to spend that money for him.
But on just the money issue. The club manages these risks. Not bothered.
I was anxious only about one thing. That we get Mourinho. After that, I don't care who he gets.
He knows what he is doing.
I won't be able to sleep tonight, Klopp will walk away
Damn it Ed, you made the man cry.That has been happening for years with Madrid, now we're getting into the action and he wants to walk away, knowing he can't compete with Liverpool
He should walk away then. Cause football has become more about spending money.
He should have accepted fergie offer
I think Klopp was trying to say 'its no biggie if they sign a player for £100m because in football, the team who gets team spirit right etc can still put up a fight and win titles. If football was the sort of sport where money directly translated to success and there was no way of finding a means to success without it, he would walk away from the game'.
He's really a hipster, isn't he. Sounds like a high school student.
So tedious. Was he threatening to quit when Real signed Ronaldo and Bale or Barcelona Suarez and Neymar?
He is just pissed off he made the decision to return too soon to football. Im confident if both Klopp and Mou would have been available we would have approached Klopp first.I won't be able to sleep tonight, Klopp will walk away
strangely it does not seem crazy after all the sums mentioned for players. Its all relative.
I think he is a very good player.
I really don't think too much about it, how can one think too much about such things when Pogba is returning home.
But that's some good information man.Fair enough, I just feel that a club our size should and could always do more. I dunno maybe I'm living in the past but this is the sort of transfer that we used to looked down at the Madrid circus for, but here we are. A part of my grievence with this transfer is the fact that I know that many loyal life long fans got priced out of seeing their team play, all for a few million more in match day revenue each season but now we'll go and waste money on transfers like it's going out of fashion.
I've already taken this thread off course a bit but I can see your point of view on this too.
Not really. Leicester proved anything but last year. If it was all about money, we'd be in the Champions League and winning it every year the amount we have spent in recent years.

I was being sarcastic because they spent £35m on Benteke, £32m on Sane and £25m on Wijnaldum.
