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.
My bad. Sorry.
Leicester is the exception. I wasnt saying money brings you success every time cause it doesnt. I just meant big money is thrown around these days in football.
Absolutely the same here...I do not bother one bit...I will always remember how I looked upon the odds for our new manager in 2013 and when I saw that of Moyes plummeting like the British Pound after the Brexit I almost cried. When the news about Mou leaked the day we won the FA cup I think I was more happy about that. In my opinion we got the best manager there is and he will lead us to glory again!!!
Well they are both in their early/mid 30's now and Fletcher has had a serious illness so no obviously not.
But in their prime maybe, Carrick definitely could have played for any team and not looked out of place. He was an excellent player for us for many years when we were one of the best sides in Europe.
Match day revenue is becoming less and less important for clubs, it's broadcast revenue that has exploded at obscene levels, and the money we're forking out here when looked at in relation to our turnover isn't actually as high as you'd probably expect.
Money in football is ridiculous, worrying about it is a waste of time, the CEO knows what he's doing and there's always more and more coming in.
indeed.
Sounds like Wenger, preparing the fans for them to do nothing of note in the transfer market and not compete for the title. "But ve vill have ze team spirit!"
Money has always been thrown around. Its just the numbers are different these days so it seems more reckless and mind-boggling. If anything more clubs seem to be able to spend big now, but instead of promoting competition or a fairer playing field.. we are seeing more money than sense. Juve with this fee, should absolutely be using it to knock on the door of guys like Barca, Bayern, Madrid or Atletico at least. Instead they go and splash it on Higuain.. a complete non entity when it comes to winning continental level titles
And the moral victory of not "ruining football".
bringing in high profile players in itself gurantees huge revenues.
I think that is what it comes down to. He is bitter because Liverpool just cannot attract that calibre of player.
I bet he wouldn't be saying this stuff if he was in Mourinho's shoes right now.
Not by itself it doesn't.
But it was fine being at the 2nd richest Bundesliga club and hoovering up all the smaller team's players.
Hypocrite. Just because he's in a bigger league now with several richer clubs he's getting a bit tetchy.
Exactly. It's like some people refuse to read the actual article and are just willing to give the reaction the journalist wants from them.
The article is co-written by Fabrizio Romano so it is from the same source as Di Marzio.
Our last truly top class signing was Robin Van Persie. Since then we've signed players well below his level for silly money. Herrera, Mata, past it Bastian, Schneiderlin, Blind, Rojo ect. All way below what we should be signing as first team players. This summer we've done things right.
Who gives a feck what he thinks. I genuinely forgot he even existed, has-been manager for a has-been club.
lol.
lol.
Exactly. Quality over quantity.
Urban area has 5.5 million people. It's actually bigger than Barcelona lol
what I meant is that initially that it is a huge revenue generator. Of course the player/team will have to perform.
LOL.
You know I've been very confident of this happening for the last 2 weeks.
But now that the story "negotiations are taking place..." has been running for 2 weeks, I am beginning to worry that this may not actually happen.
Now add to that, the fact that there is not one official story that we are attempting to sign Pogba (even Jose did not mention him by name explicitly...just that he has a 4th target, which we assume is Pogba).
Lets also add that Pogba himself has made no mention of "MUFC is my dream club, I love MUFC, etc".
I am getting very worried that this whole story has been made up by Twitter posters, most of whom are known to be liers.
What I am waiting for is BBC to report that we are either making a deal OR agreed to sign Pogba.
He's gonna be organizing pep rally's at Anfield before we know it
I actually think Schneiderlin is a good signing and I am confident he will come good this year. The rest I have to agree. But thats this the argument everyone is using against people who dont want us to sign Pogba but instead sign 3-4 players with that money. Thats exactly the mistake we've been making the past 3 years. Signing squad players and no world class or potential world class players.
Even if you don't believe the Italian press who are well connected for Juventus' news
Craig Norwood has followed Pogba on Twitter. It's a done deal dude.
Have a feeling our midfield will look completel6 transformed with him as long as we use him correctly. Not a #10, not a holding mid or a midfield 2 player, just needs that more advanced mid in a 3 like gerrard or lampard were at their best. And mourinho knows exactly how to use that role effectively so lets hope it works out
Think you guys overreacted about Klopp. He didn't criticize the Pogba signing at all.
I agree.
Tbf Di Maria was top class. It just didn't work out. Not in the same mold as RVP though. Di Maria doesn't have it in him to be the best player in the league or his own team.
Sadly this thread will be no more in cirka ~36 hours.
I think he would have worked out if we had Mou. Man just think of the team we would have had now if we still had ADM.
Its happening. Don't do this to us.
Dont worry United wont announce it by tomorrow and they dont make big announcements on weekends, which means they wont put it up on the website till Monday the earliest, which again means this thread should be active till the weekend.
My takeway from that article was he thinks paying so much for one player is putting all your eggs in one basket. If he got injured....
The problem with that thinking is it does not take into account what a special player can contribute. Of course any player can get injured.
You do realise how ridiculous what you just said is? You know it will happen and don't doubt it but at the same time you doubt it?Yeah some real mediocrity in there. We did sign some top class though like Falcao and Di Maria. They just didn't work out under the van Gaal reign of terror.
Aye. Cracking front 4.
Watch the new Adidas advert
Di Maria lacked any form of movement to hit. He had a massively out of form Rooney and a crippled falcao. Our crappy 352 formation pretty much saw to the end of him. Such a shame as in last years team he would have done really well I think, getting martial and rashford in the squad transformed out attacking play. If only he was still here now our attack would be unstoppable.
Yeah LVG didn't manage him properly at all. Such a shame it didn't work out.
I'd honestly prefer Martial.
