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.

I couldn't care less if Liverpool are given the league now myself, the world has bigger issues than a few angry scousers or pissed off United fans.
Honestly listening to talk sport go on and on about how we can get the league done has disgusted me this week. People are fecking dying all over the world and people are worried about when the footy will start again.
I love the game more than anyone but walking around my city knowing everyone is living with doubts and worry make me realise you couldn't continue.
As for those rich idiots down at Cheltenham, hopefully they've not contributed to the problem, all those flying in mixing and drinking together. Idiots the lot of them.

You just tried to debunk my post with a shitty Daily Mail article. Good one.
Your welcome.
Open the transfer window.
It's hard to believe but somehow Liverpool fans have managed to become even more insufferable.
Just wait till the season gets cancelled
Just had a thought, if they void the league but make the Dippers Champions, wouldn't that mean that they are just Champions of a friendly league as none of the games really counted?
I knowIt's all good, man
Its like watching the guy you hate taking that long and winding slide into a pot of shit.
As opposed to before ?
Well...I mean..not to be rude in any way but why tune into a sports show in the first place? only to then be surprised they're discussing the biggest topic in sports. It's like logging on to redcafe and being surprised we're discussing same. You sort of have yourself to blame
They're talking about 70 year olds having to stay indoors for up to 4 months now!
And they're still wondering when to bring banning mass gatherings in.
Unfortunately, the idea of any sort of football for the foreseeable is next to impossible to see.
The biggest worry for me, is the talk that this virus might come back stronger next winter!
Honestly it’s unbelievable. I’ve gone from having some sympathy to actually being quite annoyed. The idea that Liverpool should be Champions and Leeds should be promoted and then everyone else, well it doesn’t matter. A lot of these journalists coming out and stating “oh Liverpool and Leeds”.
What about Sheffield United, who have a game in hand, which If they win takes them into the Champions League.
What about Fulham who can still mathematically be promoted to the Prem?
And have any of these Liverpool sympathising clowns looked at the League One table? Probably not, well 3 points separate 2nd and 8th. Try telling them they just have to accept their current standings.
it’s simple really. If this season can not be completed(don’t really see why it can’t, the idea of trying to start a new one with one incomplete strikes me as moronic) then it has to be voided. End of.
Seems a bit counter productive to feel this way and then tune into talk sport and enter the red cafe football forum and then enter the topic entitled ‘could they suspend the premier league’ and then become outraged at the discussions of ‘corona virus and how it effects football’.
The outcomes of almost everything outside of Liverpool ARE impossible to predict!
Who is getting 4th in the league?
Who is going down?
Who is coming up,playoffs, relegated in the other divisions?
You see what I mean?
You have to take your one eyed hat off, and realise this is bigger than just your team.
It's a nonsense to think we should go as deep into the future as possible, just for you to get the title!
What happens if it's not safe until August and September? And it takes 3months to see 19/20 out?
Are teams allowed to buy players in between? What about out of contract players?
What about 2020/21?
Similar in the wars.
No-one dished out trophies for the disrupted years, or the voided years.
Some stuff is bigger than football.
There’s some fans on twitter who actually think it’ll be back in 3 weeks. Deluded!
Besides the wars, what voided years?
I’ll have to google the league during WW 1 & 2 to see what happened then.
Exactly.
Either the season gets completed before the next one begins (with at the very least a 1-month break in between) or it's made null and void. I honestly fail to understand why the Liverpool fans refuse to accept this, some of them are even suggesting that we shorten the next season in order to finish the current one. Because scouse logic.
I swear this thread has been discussing the same thing for the last 60 pages.
The war years had both.
Obviously when it broke it was disrupted, and then voided, and the ensuing years just totally written off.
I still like the scousers clinging to the idea of playing games behind close doors!
Regarding CL, pretty sure UEFA will probably cancel this years CL and Europa once it’s realised none of the top leagues are going to be back for at least a couple of months.
That would solve a lot of headaches for leagues, give UEFA comps are invitation only. They’d probably decide who qualifies for next seasons and the leagues would have no say.

I think the question shouldn't be what we do about this season but what we do about next.
This season has to be finished. Too much to play for and too late in the season to chalk it off.
Euros is a write off, do it next year instead. Next season we either skip the Caribou for a year or in extreme circumstances (ie everythings cancelled til say August), teams play each other only once in the league (like they do in the 6 Nations). The Champions/Europa League could be a straight up knockout competition too. But this season definitely has to finish no matter how long we wait.

Nope. If this season has to be canned it gets canned. Same goes for next season, depending on how long it could take for this thing to clear off.
I think there's some way to take the results up to now into account when we begin again, whenever that may be, but it's becoming increasingly unlikely that this season is finishing.
Why does it? It'd be ideal to, but if it's not possible, it's not possible.
You can't mess up next season to finish this one surely?
But again, I dare say it'll soon be obvious there is no question of finishing this season.
Well to be fair, he’s right. They are deserved champions, annoying as it is. But what do you do? If they scrap the season they shouldn’t be awarded the title. It’s a really impossible situation.
I don’t get this deserved champion. There are clubs through history that might be deserved, they didn’t win. Why didn’t they win is simple.. they didn’t get the required points.. Liverpool don’t have the required points they’re not champions
All this talk of when the season can be finished is premature, the country needs to get through the next month, let alone next 2 weeks, without ending up with the NHS overloaded and finds itself in a Italy situation.
A total lockdown is bound to happen, its just when, and when it happens it will be atleast for two weeks. There is no chance it resumes in April.

10 years ago you were bitching when threads went off topic:
Now you're moaning because a thread finally managed to stay on topic for 60 pages. What’s changed?
Looking at it without my anti-Liverpool bias, I do think this is how it’s supposed to be. Once it’s safe to resume football, this season can be completed and next season will just have to be squeezed in shorter period. Cancelling cup comps and reducing CL group stages for next season is one way to work it out.
We have no idea when it will be safe to start again. What happens with regards to player contracts and transfers? This season is scrapped if it can’t be completed by July 1st.
With regards to Champions League football, qualification for UCL football is down to UEFA rather than the Premier League. There’s no reason why they can’t extend qualifiers to earlier rounds and allow any club who could could viably qualify via their domestic league enter at an earlier stage.
I don't know about shortening next season but there's certainly plenty of scope to reduce the amount of games played in all competitions. The Carabao Cup needs to be ditched for starters. Then UEFA need to look at doing away with the group stages in the EL & the CL, taking both comps back to the days of the old European Cup when they were straight-forward 2 legged affairs. Even if we started the new season in September it would still give the leagues a full 9 months before the season ends. Let's not forget too that most of the European Leagues are in the same position, so voiding this season might be the easiest thing to do but it most certainly ain't the right thing to do, & only people with an agenda or vested interest would disagree, so that's why I'm absolutely convinced that those who govern our game will eventually do 'the right thing' & find a way to ensure this season comes to a natural conclusion.
wtf
Sorry been looking for a reason to throw that post back at you for a decade.
