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.

Newcastle and their shit banter.
Did the same on the day they were relegated.
Left the players to bear the brunt.
A coward of a man. I'm pretty sure the players probably don't like him either.
What on earth is this about?Newcastle and their shit banter.
There is a Newcastle youngster suffering from cancer like that Sunderland kid.Newcastle and their shit banter.
That's what they are alluding to.
Yeah, that's why I posted, can't stand the slimy tw@t.
He works really hard, though. Whatever that means.
Okay thanks.... but surely there's a better way to phrase things? Reads like it's taking a dig at Sunderland imo (I could be wrong). Cancer and taking the piss doesn't go hand in hand I shouldn't think... it unfortunately comes across in the wrong way.
It does seem like that.
They could have left out the different leagues thing and it would have been a great gesture.
Comments at the end of RTG's match thread on Moyes straight down the tunnel: https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/★★★★-safc-vs-swansea-match-thread-★★★★.1362085/page-45
That would be epic
The problem with Moyes is, he isn't capable of instilling any resurgence in his players. Once the heads drop, and the confidence in him begins to wane, it's a downward spiral - he doesn't have the character or personality to give his boys a kick up the arse and get them back to winning ways. So if I was a Sunderland fan, I'd be extremely worried if he stays next season. I don't see them rising to the occasion, there's no fight in that squad and clearly no faith in Moyes.
David Moyes on why he didn't clap fans off at the end: "I didn't want to make it any worse so I got myself quickly down the tunnel." #safc
Cracking stuff, Davey.
Cracking stuff, Davey.
Make it any worse for himself. Sums him up.
He's a spineless cnut and it was clear as day from the first press conference he did at United.
TBF to him, he's basically managed to relegate not just one but two sides in one season by managing to beat Hull last weekend in what seems basically like an entirely one-off achievement from Moyes' team. That can be considered an achievement - a blow struck for British managers.
That's exactly what it is, since he took over at Sunderland he's done nothing apart from poor attempts to save his own reputation whenever he's had a mike put in front of him. He's a cowardly, spineless manager who seems to lack any real leadership. It really is mind-blowing that he did as well he did before getting the United job, but I stand by my opinion that the Everton job was nothing but The Perfect Storm for a manager like Moyes. Everything just fell into place there and all he really had to do was show up to work, 'put a shift in', and everyone would be more or less happy. Since that job, he's actually faced pressure and has crumbled in the face of it every single time. The man is a complete fraud.
He'll be starting a few more bar fights soon to try and stay relevant in the public eye at the rate he's is going
I have different emotions when I read their forum. I remember the poznan when City won the league and I'm glad they got relegated. But then again, I'm also a bit gutted for them that they have Moyes as a manager.
I've a funny feeling that this thread will be popular again next season if he stays.

Jesus, that's in terrible taste.
Managers have endured failures and relegations before and found work the other side. His issue could well be how he has handled himself during this failures. Always carried himself as a dour, pessimist. Why would any chairman be running to the phone to hire this guy?
1 more record:
He's a man of many records, it has to be said.
Appropriate hashtag considering where Moyes thinks the sun shines out of.
Never come back to the Premier League.
And now Defoe has said prior to the game he's off (which we knew). Gone well I think.
Would be very good if someone with a lot of time on their hands compiled of every unwanted record he has broken.
Feck it, I hate the cnut so much I might do it myself.

I've never had the dubious honour of supporting a team managed by this collection of gremlins masqerading as a human, but I can imagine the nightmare it must be. How does he keep getting work? The literal embodiment of erectile dysfunction. I don't know what's worse, basically coming out at the beginning of the season with that "Yeah, it's a relegation battle", or hearing Newcastle legend Alan Shearer put the boot into his team and going "Yeah, that lad knows his stuff". By saying you are in that battle right at the start, you are basically admitting that you expect to lose 10 or so games at a bare minimum. Given that, you might as well look at games like Chelsea away for example and just forfeit the match, rest your players for games you hope you CAN win. It's mind boggling he wasn't fired on the spot for that IMO. A perpetual lowerer of standards.
What is he up to now in away games vs Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and United - nil from 50?
Don't worry, he'll be rocking up at Celtic next. You'll get to experience it firsthand.
I would be inclined to argue Hodgson but after Moyes stint with Sunderland I think he has managed to outdo him when it comes to lowering expectations and putting responsibility on everyone but himself whilst playing utterly shit and fearful football.

Makes me wonder what those Everton teams could have accomplished with a real manager. His squads there weren't half bad.
to be fair at least hodgson had a cv and varied experience
I know Hodgson was terrible for you, but he's in a different universe to Moyes. He did well with a pretty lame Fulham side, did very well with Switzerland and has managed in a few countries without leaving a trail of demoralisation and nihilism.
You could say the same for Moyes at Everton.
That's the only instance. And he was there for so long that he could create a team. As soon as he left, everything he touched turned to shite. Hodgson isn't any great managerial visionary, but he's done OK in a few places. Moyes has done well in one and beyond terrible since (which is 3 different clubs in 2 countries).
Looks like the Moyes PR brigade have leapt into action.
Some whoppers in there the usual Dave guff as you'd expect about his win record and him pointing out two games into the season that once again a squad he is managing isn't good enough.
But i think the best bit has to be the part about him having to shop in the bargain basement. Of course that completely ignores that he actually spent more than any other Sunderland manager in history. He dithered all summer spent the bulk of the money on a load of shite, then panicked and signed a load more shite on free transfers.
