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.
Yup, but the difference will be Pep had to rebuild (admittedly with a lot of money), a squad that Pelligrini tore apart. 1 league in 3 season will be a poor return though 100%, if we get 90+ points and don't win it'd be acceptable and I'll give him a pass, if we fall away into one of those nothing seasons (like Pelligrini's final season) he should have a lot to answer for.
Pep will now steal Allegri' job after he's won the treble at Juventus, only to underachieve again.
Confirmed
fecking Liverpool taking away the joy I should have had now.
Yup and he'll leave for the next team. Preferably a team that doesn't have to compete for the title.
I'd say good, but the cnut is almost certain to end up PSG which makes for a frightening thought.
Pep has underwhelmed in the CL since his Barca days. PSG will continue to trash the French league and flop in the CL I'd bet.
Guardiola as a footballing 'genius' should have realised that balance is vital in football. Throughout 38 games a weak area will eventually cost you points, and in their case it's the Fernandinho position. He should have used Foden/Diaz more instead of splashing cash on Mahrez, and instead buy a CDM.
Fernandinho is key for this team, they desperately need some backup to him.
Annoyingly scary times if that does happen. Hopefully someone else would improve enough to not allow Liverpool multiple league titles. It'd be typically scouse to hit that bit of luck though.
They've completely fallen apart. Thanks for stumbling the one year we didn't want you to, City and Pep.
What? You're shocked that people think the team 7 points behind the leaders won't win the league?
Okay then.
Thank God I can stop supporting these useless bastards.
"Dead man's pants."
There are more Man United fans supporting City than City fans supporting City. 
Is this really all due to Fernandino?
Topics of discussion in thread:
1. Financial doping
2. Baldiola/Fraudiola
The Liverpool game is a must win for City. Liverpool need to go to Old Trafford as well. It's out of City's hand at the moment but they could well work their way back. Tall order at the moment.

You guys better get used to Liverpool as Champions.
I think it's a blip and Liverpool will have one too at some point. There's far too much quality in that City squad for them to drop out of the title race at this stage.
And you call yourself a City fan? Giving up to the dippers before January is ridiculous. I don't want to see either of you win it but only a fool would write off City after a couple of poor results.
They've lost 3 out of their last 4 games and look absolutely terrible, their display against Palace was Moyes esque. The chances of these wasters "Smashing" Liverpool who havn't lost a single game so far and only conceded 6 is very slim, actually I think Liverpool will win and extend their lead further. With the shit form City are in I think they need to worry about beating Southampton next before even thinking about Liverpool.
If Liverpool end up winning which I know they will then at least there is one positive thing we could hope for and that is a complete collapse by City. Feck these useless dossers making it so easy for Liverpool with this team they have, bunch of absolute frauds. Hope the Sheik fecks off and they start scraping for relegation again.
I already accepted that
Yes and no. Without him we open up for all comers like a cheap whores legs but also once things start to go wrong we tend to crap the bed a little (a lot really) and just do stupid thing after stupid thing defensively and panic in front of goal.
The attitude of City fans already conceding the title half way through the season, feck off.
City broke records last year and were on track to meet them again this season.. there's still half a fecking season left. Useless blue cnuts need to suck it up and win the league.

We've been awful for weeks. Liverpool were a point behind and are now seven clear (of us), and have clawed back 15 goal difference in five games. We're clearly not matching them.
Long way to go and every title-winning side has a run of poor form the season after. I would trust Guardiola to rectify the problem.
Never.
They lost the "invincible" tag and evidently, their opponents are showing more confidence.
Their lack of proper full backs is a full issue.

In all seriousness what has gone wrong? Is it all Fernandinho absence or is there something else.
. They looked invincible not so long ago. Atm it looks like we could catch them before they catch Liverpool

City lost 2 matches since Ole set foot in Manchester. Coincidence? I think not
Injuries and fatigue
Jesus you lot have no conviction when it gets hard, do ye?
Strange considering we won the 11/12 and 13/14 league titles from behind with a few games remaining.
Not so long ago it was 4 points and I was thinking we were never going to catch up since you were winning every game. To cut the GD so quickly and get ahead by 7 points has surprised me.
I haven't been watching their games, but from what I hear KDB has not been performing well since his return from injury.
Because you're going to remain shit for a few years now? It's a strange point to make
I’m sure they wanted Jorginho in the summer....presumably to rotate/takeover from Fernandinho in that position. Thing is, I don’t think Jorginho could have done that role. They’d have been better going for Tolisso or someone of that more athletic, combative nature
Safe to say if pool wins against city...
