Think of a dozen scabs crossing a picket line for more money on offer. Well we are one of those scabs.

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.
No we have stayed oddly silent. I'm with you here mate, I'm devastated.
How does the UCL being bloated kill European competition ffs? What a load of nonsense
Basically this super leg will make football another American sport with the same rules, league with fixed set of teams with same teams, play off and stuff.
The other competitions for these teams will be just to prepare for it, but sure it's ok yeah ?
I'm sorry I just can't accept this future for the sport and United.

Frankly they also fecked it big time with the failure of FFP. They were too afraid to actually apply it properly.
I do enjoy how uefa have ripped clubs off for years with their corrupt bullshit, but now people get the shits. I don’t agree with it but cl needs to change
Right, but a lot of similar things are being said as I've previously heard as being said then. There were people concerned about Sky and the greed of a new league and the gap it would open up.
I've literally watched people talk about it, long before any of this Super League talk was about.
So how are you opining on this when you haven't read the details? Surely you must side with fellow fans who've actually read what's out there.
If you have the time to defend the Glazers, surely you must inform yourself first?
My last trip to Old Trafford will be to come and watch when that happens.
Crazy if you think about it. I wonder if there’s anyone against it?
Reckon its time Boris steps in and nationalises top English clubs and Arsenal.
I didn't get a single message from United about this. I wonder if anyone else did. So we the fans don't even matter? What a betrayal. These mercenaries need to go, and be banned from owning football clubs.
Don't worry, a natural pecking order will quickly establish itself in the super league. Remember Spurs & Arsenal are also part of this, and we'll be one of the middle of the pack guys.
Great, Lincoln Red Imps won the Gibraltar league last year, get them in the group stage as well, deserved entry.
You asked, I answered.
I'm not entirely surprised that you can't remember the context of your own question though.
Perez.. "We will help football at every level and take it to its rightful place in the world. Football is the only global sport in the world with more than four billion fans and our responsibility as big clubs is to respond to their desires.”
Feck off.
(Glazer and Agnellis are just as bad).
The club statement is shocking... they must live in a parallel universe or think we're thick.
Also this midweek schedule - they think it's their own league and this? Thought the association's and Uefa said they're out if they do this?

Bit harsh to expect him to pay out some cash as well as letting him burn to death, tbf.
They are employees. The only thing they care about is how it affects their bonuses.
The way these 12 clubs have gone about this smacks of the same self-serving greed and ignorance we can lay at the feet of UEFA, but that they're actually trying to paint themselves as the saviours of football really does f*ck me off.
A group of club decides to create an exclusive league in order to funnel all the cash in their direction and your hypothetical mentions potential inclusiveness from that lot?
When will they change the transfers business to draft system like American sports ? Might be the next step.
Do you think any of these founding clubs have any interest in playing in a second division?
Yes the poor teams like Ferencvaros and Istanbul Basaksehir truly deserve to get compared to workers striking for survival..
I’ll make a donation to his estate
They are smacking their lips at fresh money to launder
feck sake man. Don't say that.
Feels like Nations league brought to a club level.
any response by the PL?

This is absolutely surreal. This feels like a horrible nightmare. I've seen United go through up and downs. We've had good years and bad years, embarrassing defeats and magnificent successes. But this right now feels like the absolute worst I have felt about this club. This is a horrible idea and I would have little interest in seeing their progression through what is a glorified exhibition tournament.
Please, those leagues are dead without those teams. Make no mistake, how many low league teams have profited off United and co?
United will tell him he’ll get 500k a week in the new super league and he’ll sign a new deal
Wonder if we get to stay up 
I bet they have the good pastries at those meetings. You know the ones... the *really* good ones.
Aye, this is dreamland for them.
I haven't defended the Glazers, you're wrongfully associating the SL with it being pro Glazer, lets stop that association immediately. The SL is it's own thing, not a pro and anti Glazer movement.
And I'm referring to the club tweets that have apparently been put out
One of the worst parts of this all is the fact the glazers are now certain to stay at the club long term due to the money involved in this European league. Hopefully the Premier league and Uefa blow this competition from starting.
They will join.
