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.
“Joely”
You should have spent more than 30 seconds on your banners chief.
So has anyone set up one of them government online petition things?
As if Ole would have said that, he would have got a hiding if he came out with that shit.
Stupid protest, I agree we are all enraged but the team has a fecking game on sunday and needs to be prepared. Who cares about the ESL as long as all clubs pulled out of it now? People are being too dramatic for no reason, okay our voices have been heard etc but just get on with it. The Glazers part can be discussed after we finish the PL and hopefully win the EL.
Nobody with any sense is asking Ole to attack the owners. If what he reportedly said I true, likely not, he would have been better off saying nothing at all.
Couldn’t agree more.
So it's okay because they backtracked now? Now is the perfect time to protest.
No it's not okay, but finishing the league strongly and winning the EL is more important I would say.
This kind of attitude would have people still be slaves. Sometimes things are a bit more important than being prepared for a meaningless game in the context of this season.
How did they even get into the training ground all by themselves? Was there no security around it and especially when the players and coaching staff are there and training?
Players don't arrive until 10am. They weren't there. But yeah not a good look and now United will have to beef up security.
That’s the talk of people who forgive when given a nice shiny new present. Like a big signing. This is more important than where and how we finish.
If you really think a bunch of fans protesting in Carrington will cause the Glazers to sell you are highly delusional, they own the most valuable club in world football and they never really showed they care whether people like them or not. It's a winning business for them and all this saga will be forgotten during summer..
I completely disagree. The lads at Carrington have spoken with Players, coaches and the manager of Manchester United FFS. They also made the national news and are trending on twitter.
Genuinely, the only reason I knew Spurs had a protest was because I saw a picture on twitter taking the piss because one of the fans protesting had a 'Spurs Shop' carrier bag and was being ridiculed for the hypocrisy.
It's not about what it looks like, it doesn't have to be 'professional', it has to make an impact and that is exactly what these lads have done.
You protest when everything is fresh in people minds, not later. Strike while the irons hot.
"greed is good" - Ole Gunnar Solskjær
Same.
Nothing pisses me off more than a bunch of armchair fans making pathetic posts about actual supporters that have got off their arses and done something. Fecking grammar prcks.
Nothing that wasn't tried over a decade ago and they're still here, with no reason to sell up. Piss off the players and training ground staff is all they'll do. Must be a better way, but a dozen blokes in hoodies isn't it.

Well fecking said
These are adults, right? The world is ending..
Aye.
Well done to lads involved, we need to rattle those leeches and chase the cnuts out of our club. Now's the time to do it now that we have them on the back foot.
The ole outers will be framing Ole as the Zodiac killer next.Got to admit, that is one fecking cracking line to make up
No what I think is that this is part of a concerted movement to get the rats out. If you think any movement for significant change in history started by being supported by the majority or even a significant minority, you need to read up on your history.
We live in times where blood doesn't need to be shed but it still means some tough choices like disrupting training may have to be made.
No one ever achieved meaningful change by prioritising the care of their own back garden.
Disagree. The team still needs supporting. This wont be an overnight result and it isnt the players fault. We cant sacrifice a couple of seasons for an outcome that may never happen.
Suppoet the club, not the owners.
Well done to these fans.
it’s not from a source i trust 100% but i’m informed he said “please just let me do my job. or don’t. i don’t actually give a shit. i’m only managing united because i lost a bet. like all danish people, i’d rather be eating meatballs in my volvo.”
The only way to hurt these people is to drive a stake through their wallet.
ffs you are sitting behind your pc and talking as if we are about to wear our red shirts and march to OT, just wake up, the team needs to finish strongly so we can continue the rebuilding process Ole started. Our improvement deserves a trophy this year and if we call ourselves real fans, we stand behind our club, manager and players. I don't care how much of an ass the Glazers are, Woodward is stepping down for starters and all our focus should be on finishing the season strongly.
Needs more behind it
Always infighting. This is why it fails
But if that Ole Quote is BS, then feck them too
Dont know who to believe?

I was there, regarding Joel he said "Not his biggest fan, far from it, but I wish him a speedy recovery".
correct. all publicity showing fans discontent is good publicity, but they are billionaires, they have got to where they are by screwing people over. having a handful of people protesting is nothing they haven’t glossed over before. they won’t listen to a few men and some bedsheets. protests are good, but there needs to be organised action.
don’t buy kits, pressure and boycott sponsors, don’t turn up on match days, the club will have to suffer before they leave. it will have to not be profitable. they are not here for love or affection, they are here to make money, whilst they are doing that they don’t give a shit about a few dissenting voices along the way.
Even if he had said it, managers are in a really difficult situation with this. Didn't SAF call the Glazers "marvellous owners" and "great" for the club during the green and gold protests.
It's a very fine line for managers to walk when facing fans on one side and owners on the other. I think you could forgive pretty much anything he might say.
If it brings more attention to it then I'm glad. Good on them.
