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.
Malcolm will be spinning in his crypt.
La super Liguetta
"Listen, on second thoughts how about we give this one more try? What? No money? No, no, no, we just really missed having you around the place today,."Imagine that.
So why hasn’t he been this vocal before? Fans have asked for them to speak out about the reality of our ownership but only now can Souness talks about dividends the Glazers have taken since 2005? Only now can Neville direct his frustration at the Glazers on TV? This is what pisses me off with this situation. It should have been said 15 years ago, not now.
When have they ever been welcome in Manchester
Meh. Don't really care about the all that right now.. glad the momentum is currently shifting to the owners now. Get them out.
To be fair to him, this is exactly why he said that he was complicit. Gary himself admits that he should have spoken earlier but didn't.
In fairness, he has said that he feels a part of the problem for not voicing this sooner.
It shocks me that some of the younger generation think this way. They would happily have the game turned into a game of fifa.
But it's Chelsea and City... look at who owns them, they're already cnuts
Yeah but for the owners the clubs act as PR exercises and this has been a total PR catastrophe for them.
He joined today, according to his profile....
Nothing official from Chelsea
I have a feeling he wouldn't accept that deal.
It would be a great piece of extra drama.
Maybe he can change careers, become an agent, and they give him 25% of Harry Kane
He says he feels complicit and he should have spoken out earlier. And as I just said above, as of this moment it matters little to me.. just turn the focus on to the owners now while there is so much potential momentum behind it.
And now Simon Stone with the big news:
EDIT: Luckhurst reaffirms

There is no ‘fairness’ about it. He only gives a shit because his employers Sky would be affected financially and now he’s chasing the gravy train of the Premier League as an owner with Salford. They’re all as bad as each other, it’s only the billionaire owners can do it on a bigger scale which has drawn outrage from the rest. The footballing world are massive hypocrites.
You'd be surprised. They're are in such a big financial trouble, that's the whole point of this.
Great intelligence and a real asset to the game
Feck off! They better not be painted as the ‘good guys’ in all of this for being the first to pull out. Their owners are the fecking worst of the lot.
If every man united fan in the world put in about £1.60 it'd be enough to gain a majority share.
My 12 year old son and his pals would play FIFA all day, every day, if they could. Every single one of them thought this initiative was a terrible idea. They’ve grown up obsessed with the Champion’s League and didn’t want it scrapped.
Anyone know if theres any truth to £100mil fine for each club that pulls out of ESL?
Bless them. The kids are alright!
You know what's really shite with all this in the immediate context, as a Utd fan.
I was so proud of how the club had behaved and handled the COVID situation. I was really enjoying the development of the team, despite being frustrated the past window. I was really excited for the end of the season - both the league run-in and Europa.
Even if we pull out in the next couple of days, the super league nonsense will leave such a sour taste. And completely undermine the 1 trophy we've got a good chance of winning.

Neville was hoping there was a fine for breaching the ESL contracts. As if the Glazers would be paying penny of it, rather than them milking it from the club.
Probably crying about taking legal action
thank feck.
Shit, that is me not going to sleep tonight. This news I ain't missing!!!!
I coach a team with 15, 16 and 17 years olds. All of them, every singel one of them, hated this superleague.
We're all out!
I did say once City and Chelsea pulled out it was all a formality.

Do you hold this opinion of Fergie, Keane or anyone else who has associated with the club?
I can't keep up with this. What a fecking weiiiiiiird few days.
Plot twist after plot twist.

End of an error.
Amadeus and Glaston, obviously
