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.
Wonder if the guy who blindsided Grealish is enjoying this?
Peaky Blinders.Is there a specfic haircut people from Brum follow? Everyone seems to have a Grealish hairstyle
Congrats @FootballHQ
Yep.

Prince William said: “A long time ago at school I got into football big time. I was looking around for clubs. All my friends at school were either Man United fans or Chelsea fans and I didn’t want to follow the run of the mill teams.
“I wanted to have a team that was more mid-table that could give me more emotional rollercoaster moments.
“Aston Villa’s always had a great history. I have got friends of mine who support Aston Villa and one of the first FA Cup games I went to was Bolton v Aston Villa back in 2000. Sadly, Villa went on to lose to Chelsea"
Sad thing is that poor Villa manager will probably get sacked in January.
Good to have Villa back up. Next year Leeds, Forest and Blackburn please.
Happy for Grealish, he deserved to come back up with his boyhood team.
Not bad. Good drama. Good for Taunzebe.
Good game that and glad Villa won, expect as wife a Villa fan.
Only thing is that means there'll be two days next season when we'll have to agree an amnesty. Macheda-gate is still a sore point.

They are giving a trophy for 3rd place? Arsenal’s we dream this.
What are the odds for a Terry full kit once more?
Yeah for def but the Wednesday instead of Blackburn for me.
Grealish smashed himself in the face with the trophy!
How did Axel perform?
Feck that, keep Leeds well away from the PL, in fact I hope they get relegated, feckers.
Congratulations @FootballHQ .
Unlucky Fat Fwank, enjoy that win over Leeds.
Football is boring without the bad guys. Leeds are great villains!
Much prefer to see them up in the Prem than the likes of Norwich or Cardiff.
De Ligt and Tuanzebe would have been quite something....
Glad for Villa, proper old club.
Hate way people do this. He attempted 1 tackle and was successful with it so factually true but it's trying to make it sound better. Thing is, there's nothing wrong with attempting 1 tackle as a central defender during a game, Mings did too (also successful).
What's a ball recovery?
Miserable lot the Aston Villa fans are, saw a load of them at Baker Street station and I couldn't tell if they'd won or lost, had to check my phone.
fecks sake, when I saw Porsche finally win again at Le Mans after so many years, I had a grin on me like a Cheshire Cat for days afterwards.
I guess they are Brummies though, so they tend to be inherently depressed.

Yes if we're bottom. You need to remember this is a club that had Lambert in charge for nearly 4 years (different ownership of course). No chance of Dean being sacked if we have a nice no frills mid table season.
Thank you to all my virtual friends (and the odd foe) on here for the well wishes. It's good to be back and I think after the last decade we've had I'll just spend the rest of this week soaking it all up and will start worrying about who should be our left back or centre half for next season by the middle of June.
Have to say premier league is shaping up to be very interesting next year (below the top 2). You have Newcastle coming now with serious cash and all that untapped potential and we're back with a 40k crowd when we're doing well so potential to grow over next 2-3 years.
Just glad to be back part of it all.
The common misconception is we'll get a 170m cheque through the post tomorrow morning.
Pretty sure about 25% of it is actually parachute payments which you get yearly so we could get that back as a championship club if the worst happens and we go straight back down (better not!).
You also have existing players who'll get improved contracts (McGinn etc), promotion bonuses etc so that eats into the prize. Getting likes of Tammy and Mings back full time will eat into it aswell.
Most important thing is not to go crazy like Fulham did and sign 8-10 players and completely destroy the spirit we've built over last 3 months. Yes we need strengthening in the usual areas but McGinn and Grealish are two fine midfielders to build around. If we can scout the next Kante that would be amazing midfield for mid table.
I know he's not well liked on this forum for obvious reasons but Tyrone Mings has been amazing for us, that commanding CB we've missed since the days of Laursen and Mellberg. He hardly plays at Bournemouth so very confident we can sign him on a permanent.
We will sign Mings and El Ghazi (who improved a lot after xmas) no problem. Seems OGS has big plans for Axel so fair enough. No idea what Chelsea will decide with Tammy. He's not good enough for their level anyway but guess they might hold onto him until January and give him a few run outs in the cups.
Believe it or not, he is very good gk. I don't know what happened in VillaAll Lovre Kalinic fans.
Yeah I'm sure you'll be fine. Good to have the Villa back. Nice easy 6 points for us. It was really just a general comment about newly promoted teams and the unrealistic expectations that some of their owners have. I hope that Brighton go down and the Baggies drift into Championship obscurity. They should be careful what they wish for. Hopefully Villa don't make the same mistakes.
