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.
Perez isn't giving up!
I seriously don't know what else they can do to make this a reality.
Figured it might be.
Some Italian news:
I think they never expected the fans, the media, the Governments, and even Prince William to get involved so strongly. Once the Governments got involved the clubs that left can say it is void ab initio and leave without any compensations.
What a day this has been so far, especially when I was fearing the worse a couple of days back.

Big respect for Chelsea and City starting this domino effect. We were never going to withdraw otherwise

Invite MLS team? Inter Miami sounds almost like Inter Milan?

I do not think a Spanish court can issue anything on the British clubs anymore.
Be piss funny when Leicester, Everton, Leeds, West Ham, Wolves and Southampton take the 6 spots instead.
Don't think any of the PL clubs are going to touch the poisoned chalice for some time now
What a complete farce this thing has been. Shows just how out of touch these total morons who run these clubs are. It would be amazing if the 50+1 rule could somehow come in off the back of this. If it's ever going to happen now is the time with this momentum.
Feck off Woodward you rat! Feck off Glazer scum!

Nah, this has killed the idea for 20 years minimum.
Why does he keep saying the current system doesn't work? What doesn't work? Spending 150m on Dembele, Coutinho, Griezmann etc and failing constantly? Giving players 500k a week when you can't afford to do it? No shit. The clubs that are in trouble are the clubs that were out of control like Barca, Madrid and Juve. They are the ones who will be fecked and they are the ones who can't survive. Let them die. feck them.
I’m proud of every one of you here and all clubs supporters across the country.
Today we are all United.
Today we are all United.
Exactly. It doesn't work only because Barca and Real have terrible accountants.
To be fair all I did was shitpost
Yep, City and psg are a big reason why this shitstorm happened.
But a brittish court can. Or you think only brittish entities can sue brittish entities?
And a fine job you did too mate
I dunno. They tried to pull the same shit as everyone else.
I feel like the clubs that jumped from the doomed project earliest are just trying to earn a bit of good will from doing so. They're as complicit in this whole disaster as every other club involved.
Football people are often amateurish despite the size of their business. At the end of the day, they are just a massive size SME. It's very possible they were not that good.
They are yes. But they are also the ones that made this fall apart.
oh yeah, feck the Spanish courts.
I mean, cmon, how did they side with Perez? I sense something's rotten in Madrid.
And it's not Juan Carlos, cos he fcuked off to the ME.

Thanking Brexit for the first in my life.
Chelsea have finally released their official statement. Summary:
Perez isn't giving up!
I seriously don't know what else they can do to make this a reality.
Surely he must understand that given the events of the past 48 hours, no English club with any sense will ever go anywhere near something like that again?

So..
Barca get 220m for Neymar, waste 280m on Coutinho and Dembele, then raise a loan to sign a player whose position is already occupied by the best player in the world for 120m. Madrid rebuilds its stadium for almost 800m then wastes 140m on a player with one year left on his contract. Juve signs a 33 year old for 100m and probably pays him around 50m per season. T Luckily there's Perez to identify the root of all these problems: The CL simply isn't profitable enoug!
They are probably the worse. The rats are the first to jump the boat. The only ones to be praised are the ones that didnt go with this abomination from the start: bayern, dortmund, PSG and others that were proposed.
Chelsea and city wanted in as the ones that remained longer in bur shit their pants the first.
There's precedent. The isles of scilly league has a grand total of 2 teams who continuously play each other all season.
Appears to have worked
Beyond stupid. As rummeneige said, costs are the problem, not the revenue
Woody "call it off boys, horsechoker's memed us on the caf"
Yes Bayern and PSG do deserve praise. But I still applaud Chelsea and City for making this fall apart.
We should still be punished in some form,this was a coup.

Perez is one of those egotistical old rich pricks who constantly looking to leave a legacy.
Winning feck knows how many CLs wasn't enough for him, he got involved in this thinking he'd be remembered fondly for reshaping the entire game.
