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.
He did. His employer said he could have 4 weeks.
Le Havre registered a complaint about our signing of him, so although we basically signed him in July 2009 he wasnt registered until October, so when he left in July 2012 he hasn't made the 36 months.
Unless @Mr. MUJAC can correct me, he knows his stuff.
Stop fecking replying to off topic posts
Pogba's holiday is a special case. He played up till final with france, so it's only fair he got longer holiday. In fact it's not even longer, just started on a later date.
Out of interest, does any other France / portugal nt players got an extended holiday? Or was it just pogba?

Where has he said that? Unlike him to be wrong on youth stuff

To be homegrown a player must be registered for 36 months prior to his 21st birthday, Pogba missed it by like 3 months.

Interesting, will see if he replies to my post above, I'm curious now.
Ussually i trust fm. Not that they're itk or anything, but computer seldom got it wrong. At least for dates and rules
I'd be stunned if he could be classed as home-grown.
People who derail threads like this with completely irrelevant discussions and arguments are the worst.
Just shut up.
Just shut up.
I think the rule is that they have to either spend 3 seasons or 3 years prior to their 21st birthday.
Ah, okay. Thanks.
Really? Wow. That's a mad rule. Not exactly home-grown is it?
He counts as homegrown on FM16 and they generally get these things right.
He is a home grown player.
On what basis?
Yeah. Not sure whether they will consider 36 months like you said or just 3 seasons.
IIRC Ronaldo was home grown player but he didn't spend 36 months before his 21st bday in pl.
It's pretty amusing that Pogba is still considered our homegrown player, given everything that's happened.
Two more years and they could get a British passport.
So Pogba is officially a home-grown United player. We are potentially going to spend £100m on buying back a home-grown United player. This has to be a first in world football. For a club to break a transfer record to buy back a 'home-grown' talent.
I didn't hear anything "official". Sorry, I don't have a link as this was on SSN HQ. The implication was lawyers were talking in Manchester, but that could just have been my desperate interpretation. I can't find a link on their transfer central web page, but this was definitely the head line from the transfer central reporter.
I'm surprised 21 is the cut-off. Surely 18 should be the threshold. That is to say if with a club for 3 years before the age of 18. Why 21? It seems a bit arbitrary given he could vote from 18!
I guess its UEFA/FIFA structures - e.g. the under 21 championships etc.
Probably something that won't happen for a long long time.
According to the rules:
He wasn't registered for either of those time periods.
He wasn't registered for either of those time periods.
Probably never again!
Forget homegrown. This is world's record transfer
Doesn't need to be registered if he was at the club from 16. According to FM when I bought him back he was considered as a youth product.
It is. But don't you think the home-grown aspect makes it really unique. I mean obviously, if we were in the CL its important to have home-grown. But the fact that we are breaking a world record to buy back an officially 'home-grown' player is very very unique. 'He's One Of Our Own, He's One Of Our Own. 100m quid. And he's One Of Our Own.'
The homegrown rules say nothing about that.Doesn't need to be registered if he was at the club from 16. According to FM when I bought him back he was considered as a youth product.
From what I read the other day, they have to have been at the club for 3 years to be classed as "home grown" but he was only here 2 years and 9 months...
So I read anyway...
So I read anyway...
We didn't buy him for the homegrown quota that's for sure. It's just happens
Yes. Probably a bit of shame and head banging.
But at the end of the day he's worth 100m and let's leave it at that. There's no point shooting down a world class player just because you dont want a bit of shame for letting him go
Any chance that they may have backdated it as we were found to have done nothing wrong?
My boss won't have a leg to stand on, given this precedent.
The general definition of a youth product is as follows:
1. Did not play professionally for another club
2. Joined before 18 years old
3. Played in our Academy (or equivalent)
4. Qualifies for FA Youth Cup
Pogba ticks all those boxes.
EUFA's criteria has little to do with actual youth development.
that's not the PL homegrown criteriaMaybe a stupid question, but why has his holiday been so long? I'm guessing a combination of Euros + Serie A starting late? August 7 still seems a pretty late date to return.
MEN reported that. Don't know if true...
You've answered your own question really. That's exactly why he's still on holiday.
What you have to consider is one regime concluding the "sale" and another buying him back. At the very core it's two different entities, if you will.
To be honest, unless anybody can dig out the registration papers it's hard to know. He first joined at the end of July, and if we've got away with that being the date, he did 3 years. If they are dated October, when it was finally settled, then obviously he didn't.
Ah here.
It might end up being pretty important if Pogba is going to be classed as homegrown (something which I doubt) as if/when Brexit begins to take shape, who knows what kind of foreign player restrictions could be placed on PL teams in the future.
