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.
Snivelling cnuts.
Yes, they are Jewish. My bad
Is this a movie plot?
I mean leave out football clubs which are worth hundreds of millions with a bunch of public scrutiny, even normal small business owners don't operate like that.
You really think if you start a business you'll only hire people that belong to some protected subgroup (religion / race / whatever)? (a) That's just straight up discrimination (b) You want the best person you can afford for the job, or you're going bust.
Nope its factual history of football. Its not even hard to find. Sounds like one though... I know alot of supporters of those clubs don't know their own history and think their clubs were built by saints and hard work, but the truth is a lot shadier. I should also add I'm sure United, Liverpool and Arsenal aren't the only clubs guilty of this shit either just an example because it contains all 3 clubs known as the clubs who built themselves and 2 of them Englands most successful and biggest.

Here we go……….
Well, that's not really the truth is it.
A lot of Huge companies discriminate.
They hire mostly men over women.
Some even discriminate over race, prefer asians, more hardworking cliches, etc...lots of examples.
And the thing is, you have at least a 100 great football players, in their prime, who happen to be of islamic religion.
Namely Salah, Pogba, Rudiger, Kante ...
Im just wondering if they will prefer them?
All these digs and jokes on Saudis, most of them funny and not PC, but one mention of religion and every body jumps on my back.
Didn't even mean to go there, just found it interesing to discuss.
Prediction: we suddenly get an influx of newcastle fans on the cafe.
No they will not. /discussion
City haven't that policy in place nor do PSG why would Newcastle?
To be honest, some of us have been thinking that for years after we've seen how little Kroenke cares about trying to rebuild success.
Just thinking about if the Glazers had pursued this recruitment policy.
Sorry I was replying to the tweet not your joke, your joke was high on the “dad joke” scale.Sorry. I was making a bad Saw joke.
The only way to level things up is for every club to have an Arab takeover.
Wait until some random club like Port Vale gets one.

I think they'll all be queuing up for the money of the guy who thinks what the Chinese are doing muslims is ok and thinks they are a great bunch of lads altogether. That is of course, once they keep doing business with him.
Imagine being a Sunderland fan right now, stuck in League One while your biggest rivals hit the jackpot
Well, they can buy a team in January if they really want.
But no, nobody is saying they are going to buy a new team tomorrow, so stop being ridiculous.
I seriously doubt it but who knows at this stage.
Have they?
Are the Saudis turning it over to fan ownership already?
If not then no they haven't, they've just swapped a cnut owner for an Uber cnut owner.
Albeit, an ultra rich owner.
Corrected that for you.
Anyone can buy a new team if they wanted, admittedly the quality may suffer with a less affluent club.
The implication here was that they will.
I'm not sure I'm the one being ridiculous, but as you were.
Like who?
Sounds like you are a bit ignorant not racist tbh.
ENIC/Levy for one.
If they offer £80 million why the f not.
The implication is that the club backed by the £320bn SA PIF has greater buying power than anyone else.
Anything else you would like to discuss?
Not sure spending 1.2 bilion quid on a new stadium is accurately defined as having 'no ambition'.
Yeah, the first part of this is well documented. The second bit, I think you'd have put equal effort into if there was more than an anecdotal story about it.
Nope. They want Martial for 80M.
That’s your hot take? You know a whole world exists outside of fecking football right?
Jesus Christ. I’m sure the families of all the dead dissidents, Khashoggi’s fiancé, and the families of all the slaughtered Yemenis will be thrilled once they learn about MBS’s ambitions for Newcastle and which wingers he has lined up for the first 11.
I’m done with football fans.
United?
Our owners get a free pass? I could've sworn I'd seen a few complaints about them over the years.
Make Martial a £100 million man
With the way fees have inflated, Saudi FC will have to fork out a lot to build a title winning squad.
So where does Steve Bruce go next?
Sounds like you are a bit ignorant not racist tbh.
Ignorant?
For what? Saying it's harder to be a muslim footballer?
For example, alcoholic beverages being major sponsors while alchohol is forbidden in your religion. And then you have to make a statement like Pogba had to while a bottle of Heineken was in front of him.
Not to mention that Salah was fasting before a deciding semifinal game in the CL.
How is it that i'm ignorant?
Educate me then please.
If Corinthians became the world's richest football club I think we'd probably discuss that yeah.
Great. So they can start chucking money around in January to avoid relegation.
What a farce this is.
What a farce this is.
This is sickening and will kill the Sport.
I was against the European super league but to be honest… let it happen.
The biggest and richest clubs in the world will just get richer and the other poor will stay poor so let’s separate them.
Newcastle won’t be the last club to become oil rich and relevant so put all the oil miner clubs and the traditional rich clubs in one league.
All the rest of the clubs would compete in the CL without them. Imagine how much more even and unexpected the results would be. These clubs would receive more money and grow and I don’t have to watch Newcastle vs PSG or City every week.
like I said this won’t be the last oil money club it’s just the beginning so let’s seperate them now.
