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.
Money in the game is not the issue. Clubs bending the rules to their own benefit is.
He said....“ The rich stealing what the people have created”
The people didnt make PSG CL contenders, vast amount of money did.
"No longer the working mans game"
Newsflash for you Charlie, it hasn't been for the better part of 30 years.
No, it's not. They get offered what they get offered by execs and ultimately the players are the ones that generate revenue. It's only fair that they get a big slice of this huge cake.
Plenty of players are speaking out but they're not really the ones people will listen to. Ideally you need Messi and Ronaldo to make a joint statement against it, but that's extremely unlikely.
Mmm, delicious boot.
Interesting considering Fergie is currently an active member of the backroom staff. I how Joel Glazer feels about this
I find it quite annoying that people jump on this person or that because they are not 100% morally pure. It's a spectrum. We're pretty much all involved in the capitalist monster, but to varying degrees. And everyone is allowed to have opinions even though they are not on a moral pedestal.
If people call out this attempt to Americanise football, I applaud it. Regardless of who they are. The hypocrisy police can go into overdrive if they want, whilst failing to see the bigger picture here.

Once again. You’re missing the point. What stinks about this isn’t just about money. It’s about locking away an elite pool of clubs. Saying they’re better than all the other clubs and always will be. Which is, of course, bullshit. And couldn’t be made clearer right now, thanks to the current league positions of Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs.
They didn't get it directly from his yesterday. It was extremely suspect when they posted that so early yesterday.
The man does not give interviews like that.
Also, some huge hypocrites talking in those tweets. Particularly former players who had no qualm being 'greedy' when it suited them.
Do what I say, not what I do.
Very interested in what Rashford says.
United have a 'ceremonial board' with no power - for the likes of Fergie and Charlton.
The real board is the glazer family, woodward and a couple of bankers.
As Fergie said, he has no part of decision making at the club.
Evra said in one of the many twitter rants that Fergie has been sidelined and disrespected by the people who own United.
Is Bruno the first to break ranks?
You love a good false equivalence don’t you lad?
Of the players at the clubs involved I think so yes.
Anyone know if Evra’s reacted yet? Should be an interesting reaction knowing him.
Theyre all at it today.
It's no surprise to see Bruno comment something. He's one of the few players I think would go against a club if he doesn't agree with it.
The only people that have as much power as the clubs in this scenario is the players.
I mean if they went on strike or everyone put in transfer requests (which they wouldn't of course, just hypothetically speaking) then that could actually kill this off.

Agreed
Someone in another thread laughed at Podolski for speaking out about this because he has the nerve to... play football in Turkey?
I thought so, it would be great to see Pogba speak out given his social media presence, but I'm sure Raiola will keep his guys quiet as he'll want a slice of this pie. It will be interesting to see if Klopp steps up tonight on MNF, as Tuchel has already fallen in line with his paymasters.
“But this thing is also a thing so if you don’t criticise this thing you can’t criticise any thing that looks like a thing”
The internet has a lot to answer for. Far too many people speak in fluent stupidity.
Honestly, it’s already a huge discussion point. We don’t need to turn it into an M.Night Shyamalan movie where everything is interconnected. Why people can’t just talk about the issue and not drag in side quests is beyond me.
Wankers and bankers then
Its black or white for so many people. You can't complain abt greed because you changed jobs for a higher pay.
We all want more money but I guess there is no difference between thieves and us because basically we are both greedy.
Or they are busy calculating their salary increments with their agents once they realized that JP Morgan is sinking 20 billion into this competition.
I’ve just seen in the main thread that UEFA have said that any players involved in this Super League will be banned from World Cups and Euros. Surely that’s going to bring out a few knee jerk reactions from players.
Podence posted against it on his Instagram, Cancelo shared it on his story and notably Bruno Fernandes commented on his post in agreement. Getting more and more players speak out, but 2 involved in it now joining in. Puigmal from our youth team as well but he's leaving this summer anyway so probably doesn't care.
UNLEASH THE DUNCAN FERGUSON!
Just saw that, good, the governing bodies of each country has to back this, i could see Marcus and Pogba speaking out now as both love playing for their countries.
Well he posted this two hours ago.
Unless there's a hidden message in there, not much help Pat.
Do you go around threads throwing cheap points around?
This is a group of people that actually have a platform with reach that can help whatever can happen gain momentum, and you want to spend time calling them hypocrites? Sit down and work on your goddamn timing
I would like ot hear Ole's view, he is going to get asked in our next presser.
He’s wearing red tinted glasses if that means anything? I’m not expecting much from Patrice other than entertainment value in fairness.
