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.
And common sense
Sure. At least some of it should of been directed at yourself instead but then there's always next time.I'm off to make pizza so Pogoff for a few ours. Would invite you all if you weren't so grumpy.
Why? Why does it matter if there's pictures of Pogba on the site when we announce it?
I doubt he'll be getting 20 goals a season like Lampard, as I assume Mourinho will play Pogba in a deeper role. Having said that, Pogba did play in the more advanced midfield role last season for Juventus and bagged 10 goals.
I don't know, it's a genuine question. I would have presumed that a company making a huge investment would be relevant to shareholders and the stock market.
Sure. The impression I get from this prospective deal is that Juve are fairly happy to cash in. They know keeping a super star like Pogba in Serie A in the long term is not realistic and feel the offer they're getting now is very good.
If both sides are on good terms, it's not unreasonable to believe that the announcement wishes of the team handing over ~£100m are to be respected.
Dortmund announced the Mkhi transfer around a week before United did. I'm sure United would've preferred if they'd waited. But that was a salty transfer from their pov. They desperately did not want to lose Mkhi but we had them bent over a barrel because of his contractual situation.
Clearly it does else we wouldn't delay announcing Zlatan till he came to United eventhough he announced it couple of days earlier. Same with mkhitariyan and Dortmund.
I know, I feel I was getting away with one because at the time there was only a couple of us thinking before posting and that sort of thing, a few have come out now
I prefer the salty transfers then
How I'd wish Juve would anounce it. I could care less when or how Pogba gets announced, just wish they would do it as soon as possible
I don't think any contract has ever taken as long as this.
They have written the magna carta itself faster than this contract
Have I missed something? There's a huge feeling of doom and gloom because Allegri never confirmed Pogba is leaving and said he would be expected back in training? It's hardly a death nail?
I think we were basically so desperate to sign him we agreed to any demand including the world's longest holiday.
I think it's more to do with the fact that everyone that told us this was a done deal also told us he'd be here by now. And he's not. So how much of their claims was bullshit?
Yeah the doom and gloom isn't people saying the deal is off and shut, its just pointing out if pogba is due in training tomorrow obviously the deal hasn't happened, the saga is still very much alive.
I don't think it would be required. Majority shareholders are the glazers anyway so even if it is required they may have already informed them. Plus United shares are probably not that highly traded so it's unlikely to see a big surge anyway
The reports are that the contract is all ready to be signed as per di marzio.
Wasn't that last week? How long can it take to find a pen.
That's when we normally pick up our form anyway.
We may even have insisted on it, in an effort to break the holiday record set by Moyes when he (eventually) joined us
From your lips to God's ears.
It's actually death knell, the sound of a lone church bell slowly ringing for a funeral, but to be honest death nail works quite well itself.
Thinking at how best to annoy others before posting you mean. Smart tactics.
Ha! I genuinely would love to be of the mindset its done, no worries kind of thing but I need things to be official before I can enjoy it, I guess its a consequence of previous sagas, especially thiago, if we get some good news i'll be the most positive person on here.
They are a top club but they are not in a top league. You are free to ask whom people prefer between bale and pogba
Do you think he prefer us to real?
I'm not terrified of losing him. I was just commenting about this transfer saga so far
My link to Celtic is that it's a one sided league. Even juventus/Milanese fans say that
How long is left on his Juve contract ?
I'm pretty sure we'll want to announce the deal after smashing the world record. Our persona under Woodward seems to be that we want the world having their eyes on us when we make signings and announcements.

That wasn't your argument. You said he's "nowhere near" Bale, to which I replied.
I've just caught up on the last 10+ pages.
This thread is absolutely hilarious when you consider with every post the fact none of us have a clue what's actually happening

Speak for yourself, pal.
I don't recall having been particularly hyperbolic in either direction, really.
Gotta love how the people bringing up Allegri's comments are ignoring the fact that Van Gaal said the same thing about Di Maria. As well as countless other managers that have made comments about a player still being their player before a transfer was completed while it was in the process of happening. Stop acting like Allergi came out and said "Pogba is staying for this season"
Of fecking course the deal isn't 100% officially done, if it was this thread would be locked and we'd have had an announcement.
How come Marotta hasn't uttered a peep of denial with all these reports of a deal being done?
