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.
If this happens and Bayern is a part of it, I'm done.
Just invite Roma in 1 of the 5 open slots for next season.
Was surprised to come into this thread this evening and see nearly an upbeat atmosphere. Really strange.
I seriously hope the UEFA and FA don’t go with a ham fisted response. It will break all relationships and any chance of a reconciliation in the future. For once they have to realize they don’t have the upper hand here and negotiate a better deal with the clubs.
Gone too far for that.
Carragher's already a guest pundit on CBS Sports during UCL games. Don't think i've seen Neville outside of Sky
Strong words from Gary
Will someone be able to post what Neville said?
I couldn't give shit about SKY and it's "pundits" crying about this. Where were they when Russian oligarchs, Chinese consortium and Arab monarchies were busy buying clubs? This ESL is down to FA and UEFA. If you force a club to compete with bottomless pit of money then they will do something to protect themselves. After all most of the money made in England and Europe is because of these clubs
Doesn't everyone think that?
Gary Neville just laid into the Glazers.
Good.
Good.
This is where keeping your head down, as the sport gets whored out to any billionaire who wants a cash cow, gets you. He's had less than nothing to say until yesterday, when his employer suddenly is being frozen out.
Which part of this being "all about money, them not caring about the clubs and fans" hasn't been equally applicable to Manchester United for every day between the day the Glazers "bought" the club and this time yesterday when this news started breaking?
I think they will form their own federation eventually and try to persuade countries and FA's to join them. Challenging the Fifa/EUFA etc monopoly
Then you have an alternative WC, EC etc

Villarreal will be needing an invite too.
At least the Bundesliga would be wide open again.
As fans we should boycott all attendance at stadiums. That'll show 'em.
Surprised no one protest outside Woodward's house yet.
Klopp's bottled it.
No one on that coach has any say in the matter so why boo and scorn them.
Same reason people phone up and rant at someone in a call centre.
Only way this can be stopped is if the players and manager issue a statement that they will not participate in the SL.
not being paid by The Sun?
It’s also Agnelli, Perez and whichever Socio runs Barcelona now. They aren’t Americans and they come out of their mother’s womb in the club jersey. So let’s stop with the xenophobia here.
Think the players and managers are furious that they knew nothing about it until yesterday.
Klopp’s bottling it
Nice stat, where did you drag that from?
If you are from Scandinavia then why are you dragging heritage into it?
You as much as I do know that it's about money and frankly I'm fed up with UEFA and FIFA getting away with absolute corruption over the years.
They are taking some type of moral high ground when it suits them and they've been put on the spot here, which I honestly don't mind.
To be perfectly clear, I'm not Pro-Super League. I want to see what's going to happen with this. I suspect it will get solved between the clubs and UEFA in the end. We'll see.
Ironic that Premier League footballers are going to wear t-shirts saying football is for the fans while earning £50,000 a week.
Yep
No doubt, arseholes that lot of them.
Is there any plans for a protest at OT?
Asking for a friend

Good on Klopp for not back pedaling there.
Not a chance, Jamie.
Yes. It's pretty evident.
Good man Klopp. Drops Salah to bench in protest.
Klopp does not look very comfortable
I don't remember such an outcry when Chelsea and City basically paid oil money to buy the title. How is it different this time? At least now we will be able to compete with them financially with the ESL cash.
Does anyone remember a few years ago where Nigeria were so crap in I think the World Cup qualifiers (I hope I’ve remembered this accurately, being a Nigerian ) that the Nigerian president tried to ban the national team from the World Cup altogether? And then iirc FIFA imposed a fine on the grounds of government intervention? Anyway my point is I wonder this’ll play out now now seeing as there’s talks of BoJo and co. getting involved
