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.
Always knew Keys was a misunderstood and honorable man.
Keys might finally start acting as a Utd fan if that’s the case.
Can't wait until he starts talking about inhalers
Lineker is a Pep/City fanboy.
He is a Coventry fan
He's a full on dickhead and ABU, it's pretty obvious. And he took 1.6 million from Qatar, he's not averse to a bit of oil money himself.
He took £1.6m even though he had that massive rant about them. Plus he’s forever chilling in Dubai in their 5* hotels built by migrants.
Really, that explains a lot. Seen someone say he was a Utd fan before and thought nothing of it. Although the fact he’s never had a good word to say about Utd should’ve given it away.
Yeah. I can't find the sum exactly but Gary Neville got paid off as well. Every one of these cnuts is for sale and we'd do well to remember that. Beckham took £10m from Qatar too. There is no doubt in my mind that the Emirati State has paid these chaps handsomely in the past, and if not then then others - there's simply just not -enough- mainstream outrage about what they've done and been doing. Even the missed doping tests got completely glossed over which given Guardiolas hilariously murky past with it is... Surprising. The journalists... "Journalists", wow.. .Their principles all have a price tag and I guess they can't go after Man City to the degree they should for the bribery and -cheating- because they must feel they're biting the hand that feeds them. I get it, but we shouldn't be preached to by the same pigs in the trough.
To be fair to Becks he’s not a hypocrite.
Only a city fan would be this deluded.
Regardless of state ownership and sportswashing.
City pay less on transfers and wages because they cook the books. See the 115+ rule breaches which are currently in process. See the UEFA breach where they got away because of a time barred technicality through CAS.
Barcelona fans bending over for City due to Pep is so predictable. Birds of the same (cheating) feather, as they say. Hopefully your frauds will be punished as will City’s.
Chelsea in 2003 not now with the useless nutter
how do these posters even get promoted?British media are hypocrites, but BBC happens to be the worse.
They aren't.
Barca fan speaking about cheating. Beautiful, you'd know.
Put this is another thread but it belongs here..
It’s really odd how the financial rules violations are so quiet. From opposing fans as well. The hate for us from fans explains that so some degree. But the media..if they are found guilty the media will have to turn 360 on them. They aren’t even covering all bases and voicing some concerns. But if one player in a winning team is taking performance enhancing drugs….it would be headlines.

There will be headlines for weeks if the charges are proven, and City will be rightly punished. I doubt there are many headlines to write about it at the moment because nothing much is going on, other than last week's update.
Do they care? Genuinely asking here. I've voiced this thought a few times in the past but there's obviously know way to actually know the truth, but outside of United, pool and arsenal fans, do fans of any other teams actually care about what city are doing?
Yep I watched that and said to myself is that it? 115 charges and 1 sentence on MOTD. If this was a UTD or Liverpool there would be a panorama program and been brought up In the houses of Parliament, trouble is City know they've cheated but because it was years ago it doesn't matter.
We don‘t need your opinion you support another cheating scumbag club.
City is spending way more than it is reporting according to the allegations.
It's a stupid rule, that’s why.
I’ve seen some bad takes on here but this is awful.
Add some capital punishment to make it more exciting.
I’m convinced that City have taken out a super injunction to block any mainstream media.
Otherwise, why is it all so quiet?
I fear that it’s going to drag on for years.
Your post is factually wrong and a bit naive.
Nothing has changed in Qatar. Your post is an example of sportswashing at work.
‘Fan of football’
Barcelona not only cheats financially, but also bribe referees. Not surprised their fans have this opinion, your club is a disgrace.
I love that it always comes from people without even basic understanding how those rules work.
Most of the media are to gutless to really go in-depth over City's cheating as there's a real possibility City will go after them. It is after all, City's MO. Rather than prove innocence, delay, obstruct and discredit by way of aggressive attacks.
I'm still confident that despite City doing everything they can to prevent the Premier League even bringing the charges, that the case against them is strong enough to succeed. After that, the level of punishment needs to be such that it deters any other team from doing the same, particularly in a period where another State already owns one club and in the unfortunate event a certain State takes over United, it needs to be so severe that both of those States think twice about similar actions.
The punishment for financial management is often severe when it involves putting the clubs financial health in jeapordy. So it stands to reason that it should also be severe when it is used to benefit the club and gain an unfair, fraudulent advantage. So points deductions and demotion all the way to expulsion should all be on the table.
I do like @JPRouve suggestion that Saracens should be the precedent, though I would use that as a baseline punishment in the event they are found guilty.

They have won league once again but surly there is big question marks now how they have won it. Everybody is talking about other things considering this club. Nobody is actually interested in their win, unless you are ManCity supporter.
The faster Premier League decide this matter the better for everyone. We can't have this going for so long.

I had in mind the idea that they start the next two seasons -70 points. It basically allows players and staff to find new jobs or clubs. And a fine equivalent to all the prize and broadcasting money that they received during the cheating years.
Well I do - gave the fans of Abu Dhabi City and Saudi United lots of abuse on being state owned sportwashing petrodollar projects. If United become owned by Qatar I’ll reserve my right to do the same at OT next season - imo would be a great shame.
In general I think most fans look at city and their achievements with an * attached due to the cheating and state ownership.
The thing that's despicable is the rules, which city signed up to. Okay.
Maybe, if they disagreed so strongly, they could have sold the club and moved to another league. Instead they chose to break the rules. Constantly. Then throw even more money at trying to prevert justice. Not to mention all the money spent attempting to influence, and even silence, the media.
No country should own football clubs in this country. Particularly not those with such terrible human rights records and, even more so, those who so obviously don't care about the rules of the competition.
What a shit WUM.
'fan of English football'
'we'
'ourselves'
feck off back to Bluemoon.
Club rivalries aside it just doesn’t sit easy when an entity is so obstructive to an investigation and gets rewarded for it. If the authorities truly can’t do anything about a club refusing to cooperate with an investigation then they need to have the power to suspend a club from competition, otherwise what’s the point? A lesser example is in boxing, Conor benn had the positive test, tried to carry on like nothing happen and only when he realised that other boards won’t licence him to fight is he suddenly apologising and trying to make amends. Apologies if I have misunderstood the rules/power to sanction here
Let 'em sneer. The fact that 115 charges have been levelled at City speaks for itself. If only half - no, let's make that a quarter of them stick and are proved, that's still a lot of cheating to account for. It's no wonder City's lawyers are playing the deflection game by objecting to an Arsenal fan.
I like that. It would probably relegate them by default without actually doing it.
I wonder how many, if any of their squad would stick around. My money would be on zero.
