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.
Yeah won't make a blind bit of difference
Calling Bundesliga a farmer’s league without calling Bundesliga a farmer’s league. I like this Michael Owen guy.
Problem here is that the record is not that old. Shearer set the record and three years later Kane was on the Spurs bench as a youngster. He could set the record and the next record holder is only 11/12 years away from beating it so where does the achievement sit then? It’s gone forever and he has no medal for it
Football is about winning trophies as a team, not personal records. Easy for Owen to say that when he won trophies at Liverpool before his move to Real Madrid. Plus Bayern have a chance of winning the Champions League.
Only 3 weeks in the market and Spurs won't get a better (or two) than Kane.
Son will be their best asset.
Happy that he leaves, weakening a rival.

Because no one will remember Shearer after Kane breaks it? Just breaking the record in the first place is enough for a decent legacy. Playing devil's advocate here.
Come on City have won five from the last six and it should have been six.
That's not likely to change this year either. They are the dominant force in the same way Bayern are.
In fact Bayern have probably had a harder time running it lately than City.
It will be strange not having Kane in the PL. On the other hand, this almost removes Tot being discussed as a possible top 4 which is good for us.
Playing in the German league is a bit of a boring option tbf but Bayern Munich are one of the World's mega clubs. I don’t bother with much German football usually due to its lack of competition (enjoyed last seasons run in and drama) but this will be interesting to see.
I'm surprised he is going to go there, really expected him to stay put this summer.

he absolutely should go
Why? What has he said?
It might not be for him, considering he's spent his entire career dragging an average to good team. He might like the idea of spending his 30s scoring 40 a season, experiencing winning in a great city and having a couple of serious runs at the Champions League.
The same thing every Brazilian said when you asked them if they prefer Manchester United over Barcelona.
If anyone believes differently your just being obtuse.
I’m not saying nobody will remember Shearer, he’ll be remembered without the record. Same way Kane will be remembered if he falls just short so I’m asking why is the record so important? If it’s important to hold it then it’s a blow when it’s lost. It’s too new of a record to hold any importance.
I’ll try to explain it this way, Kane is only 4/5 goals ahead of Rooney as it stands now and Wayne burnt out early. If he kept up his fitness he would hold the record (imo) over Shearer as we speak so it would have changed hands 3 times over 15 odd years if Kane does break it.
It doesn’t scream career defining to me which it’s being set up to be. All it takes is for Haaland to stay at City or a Qatar backed Mbappe move to already put it into immediate danger
A. You know he’s only like 40 goals away from the greatest Prem goalscorer ever and we are the biggest club in England.
B. Same as my last point. We are the biggest club in England. We have 3 rivals. Liverpool, Man City and whoever is close to challenging our status. Spurs sit in neither buckets and are not our rivals.
C. See B. We aren’t rivals.
Well you spent £70m on a 30-year-old Casemiro so why not?
Which is 30m less?
City win the PL always and real or barca win their league always..pretty much this isn’t it
60 with add ons. So the initial fee is £40m less. Quite a big difference.
I'd personally sign him if we had the chance but I understand the concerns.
Two questions, realistically..
Could we afford him
And levy sell to us
could this happen ?

A. So where is it obvious he prefers us?
All you've stated is that he is close to being the top goal scorer. Nowhere have you said how he prefers us.
Plus the wage package. Thats the deal breaker not so much the transfer fee.
That's fair enough. I wouldn't disagree with any of that.
It's only 16 million £ less. Bayern only paid 86 million £
Yes, and no, respectively...
levy’s hands are tied though, if kane wants to go, refuses to sign a contract and United offer slightly more…
Owen's argument falls flat due to the fact that by moving to Bayern he would also give himself a chance of winning the Champions League.
No to all of your questions.
Can we afford him is a difficult question. We technically could use our credit facility.
The fact we are scrambling around to sell before buying Amrabat and a defender indicates that the Glazers would not authorise the usage of it.
Would that change if it was for Harry Kane? Who knows. Otherwise we would have to sell a number of players extremely quickly and would probably be left light in midfield with Jonny Evans as our fourth choice defender.
But you need to double that for his wage package.
We go in with a cheeky bid of 120M Euro and offer Kane higher salary?
We’ve continued to shift some huge salaries off the wage bill. We’ve spent his fee equiv already so we could defo have met the asking a month ago. It was obvious he’s moving. I’m not sure he was ever ETH’s first choice it’s looking like. Surely we still could with player sales of Maguire and Scott and Fred get the majority of what’s required….throw in a greenwood loan.
I don't think he's talking about your deal but rather the hypothetical £100m we would have to pay at bare minimum.
So you quote the Bayern fee excluding add ons and the Utd fee including add-ons?
Do you work at the BBC perchance?
at 500k/week salary package for 4 years?
That’s shamelessly stolen from me.Bravo
Said that weeks back.Playing in the CL with a decent chance will be a big attraction. I expect he'd enjoy it over there with his family but making the move will be the biggest thing as Bayern paying this much will want a decent contract length. I really don't put much stock in top PL scorer, he's long way off Jimmy Greaves for the real record, Premier League was just a rebrand. Yes Kane has mentioned it but we don't really know how much he really values the PL record and others will come and break it I'm sure.
If that’s true then no but he might take 350 to stay in the PL. 4 years max as well.
