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.
Hahahahaha
So is this about right...
Exactly, this was an inevitable end-point once private ownership of clubs became popular.

Point being? You just can't can the best performing or best viewed teams from a tournament for non sporting reasons. Lawsuits would fly.
Well they have been posturing for three years then. Because this concept has been around for that long and has grown arms, legs and a head.
Get the flight trackers out.
It's time, let's see what is said. This is embarrassing for the game of Football though.
HERE WE GO
Presumably players need some sort of formal 'ok' (a licence or something) to play in the current leagues? Either given by the relative countries FA and/or Uefa.
If so, can the FAs and Uefa say to any player playing in a super League team that if you leave, don't bother asking to come back? If they did, it'd be a nightmare for the players ... fine for the top ones (who'd stay with a top club entire career) but the ok ones/squad players could have nowhere to go if their super League club dropped them.
Take Lingard, could go to West Ham now. But same situation post super League and United want to release/sell a player who may have gone to West Ham, Everton, etc... they can't.
Basically Uefa, do whatever it takes to ruin it.

Looks like they bottled it.
Exactly where do you think a full league worth of football is going to take place in a congested fixture list?
Where is this even being announced?
Statement: Bojan, come back matey.
Finn Harps ruled themselves out on Twitter earlier.
When are they getting to the fireworks factory statement?
Well it's 9:31, clearly isn't happening
Nothing on concretenews.com
Honestly redcafe WUM of the year goes to the ESL if this isn't announced.
This is a very strange take to say the least. Football is far more the a simple advertisement for a lot of fans. A fair share of them have at least part of their life revolving around a team. We're not talking about a phone brand you can drop to get another one, we're talking about century old clubs real people are emotionally commited to. It's not all about the damn market.
A club-run league is a terrible idea, the most powerful clubs would be able to do bend the rules to suit their agendas even more and destroy any uncertainty of the game.
Done dealio.
Dont get too excited. Remember announcements only come when the stock exchange closes
I'm against this if it means we won't sign Haaland in the summer
This thread is super-sonic ffs
Play Ja Ja Ding Dong!!
Been delayed by 48 hours
Ofcourse ,hoping they would clarify it.
"Here we go" yet?
Sky and BT under the Premier Leagues orders charging fans £15 a game during a pandemic and they have the balls to come out and criticise this.
Everybody is in it for the cash, they’re all in on the heist they just don’t like their cut.

Calm down. This is clearly just some type of leveraging for money and as far as the EPL goes it would be shit without us and they know it hence why they are so scared. The UEFA Media deal is entering final negotiations tomorrow, this news is timed and will get stuffed away after a new deal has been hashed out.
TrueSeems like they trolled us
+3 minutes
Well there's arsenal and spurs involved. What did you expect?
As anti-climatic as every other United saga 
Who actually says announcement was to be @ 9.30?
Totally agree. Some so called football fans are being seen for what they actually are tonight.
