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.
Bullshit. feck everyone involved in this.
So is this an alternative European competition without looking to come away from the domestic league?
Pains me to say that but at the moment we can all hope that BoJo decides to turn that into a political stunt in order to prevent those clubs from joining the superleague.
Probably not the best image to parody. The IPL is arguably the most entertaining tournament in sports right now, and it wasn't formed on the back of destroying any existing structure.
The 3 others are going to be PSG, Dortmund and Bayern Munich, right?
Whats evolutionary about ruining the game? I'm baffled by anyone on board with such a sad sad thing for the sport.
Tottenham will get relegated...
I'm very entertained by this.
How's it ruining the game?
So this might be the *real* topic. Those clubs want PSG and City to be held accountable to their numbers and their accounting to be much more closely watched. If they get it that way, I am all in. Chelsea is in, which suggest that Chelsea is already able to cope with such stringent financial requirements.
Establishment were against it weren’t they?
Not sure point deduction would be such a great idea though, gratifying though the thought is (even for United). Because it wouldn't exactly be a great argument for these clubs to shelve this and stick with the current leagues, or the CL they would not then qualify for. In fact, few things could be more certain to cause them to push ahead with this.
I don't think this is happening. They need to breakaway if they want to do it. Their suggestion there is silly.
Maybe the plan is to breakaway but look reluctant to? Or they aren't serious at all and it's bargaining bullshit. But I don't think that format is a remotely serious one.
Never knew we have the equivalent of Russian bots on this forum.
Why people keep mentioning PSG and Bayern when they explicitly denied participation?
Thought German clubs had rules that they owned only 49% while the fans owned 51
Interesting. Clearly stepping back from champions league then.
It's not as if threatening to cancel my season ticket will make any difference, as they only need some cnut in Singapore to stream the game via PPV to make my little stand moot. Feck off Glazers, you soulless, corporate fecks.
That's fine by me right now. I'm fecking disgusted by the club doing this.
Yes, that is what it has always been. It's the FA that's said they're going to kick teams out of all domestic competitions for playing in it
No more CL theme
18 first round matches? Seriously?
Wow.. this actually happened..
feck top 4 then.. play the kids..
Spurs and Arsenal getting in is hilarious after the season they have had..

The announcement doesn´t say anything about relegations or a second division.
Would those solidarity payments be money that they would invest in the national leagues?

Dock all teams of their points.
Congratulations Leicester on your second PL trophy.

Devolution. Get it right.
Dock every single club that's on that list 50 points.
Lyrics for the Super League anthem have been released:
They are the best teams
They are the super teams
The main event
The master
The best
The super teams
The champions
They are the best teams
They are the super teams
The main event
The master
The best
The super teams
The champions
to the redcafe rawk and bluemoon meltdown thread!
Disgraceful.
The Chelsea twitter is just a furious stream of abuse towards the club. Glad to see it.
I do not think german clubs can enter unless the members (supporters) vote in favor:
The 50+1 rule guards against this. In short, it means that clubs – and, by extension, the fans - hold a majority of their own voting rights. Under German Football League [DFL] rules, football clubs will not be allowed to play in the Bundesliga if commercial investors have more than a 49 percent stake. In essence, this means that private investors cannot take over clubs and potentially push through measures that prioritise profit over the wishes of supporters. The ruling simultaneously protects against reckless owners and safeguards the democratic customs of German clubs.

I now understand the delay was the Glaziers were busy designing the new Super League logo in Photoshop.
Did I miss the announcement?
feck right off. What a nightmare
I honestly feel it's pointless watching us now, especially the EL.
