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.

He's going to get booed next time be plays at Old Trafford isn't he.
Oblivious, limited and gutless.

Seems an idiotic move from a purely footballing standpoint, and I'm sure the wider population will be gunning for him to finally lose the England place he no longer merits.
Obviously when it comes to money he comes out on top.

Not really arsed anymore, not like we can replace him with a Kim. We'll just be taking a punt on one of the french league defenders. If he wants to stay then he better he ready to warm the bench most of the season, and step up when someone picks up a knock.
most probably. Plus fans chanting his name last night.
Seems he likes a challenge..
bolded is true for marketable players, unless Maguire enters the comedy business
From what I know about him he doesn’t have any other sponsor than Puma and they pay him per game, I’d imagine they will back off a bit if he doesn’t feature at all.
to me it’s clear he’s after the bag so that’s priority number one. Talk about getting back into the team are bollocks. Yes he might feature here and there but either he’s absolutely deluded as you mentioned or it’s an excuse to reject that WH move
By hanging on for "compensation" he is effectively admitting to the world that this is a termination of contract because he is shite and not actually a transfer. Well done.
Opinion was mixed, some reckoned he could work well but no one was particularly excited for this transfer.
You do know who the England coach is right! Maguire would get picked even with a wooden leg.
Even if you are only talking about this year it is still a bigger FFP hit to keep him then sell him at a loss. A write off loss of a few million when selling him would be a lot less than one year's amortisation (even without factoring in a year's salary).
Or maybe he actually does like the player enough to want to keep him? Hag is not this infallible genius as he has shown a few times with player choices
Some of them probably had a hail Mary moment.
But you don't just write off one years amortisation, you write off two. If you dispose of an asset, you write off the entire book value ie £26M.
Maguire’s performance?
Not even blaming Harry on this, its on ETH.
Maguire shouldn't have boarded the flight to USA.

So every post the media made saying personal terms agreed! it's the settlement fee that's holding it up...were total bullshit!
I am shocked! haha the feckers know absolutely nothing as to what's really going on...frauds the lot of them.

haha the feckers know absolutely nothing as to what's really going on...frauds the lot of them.Do people really believe he stayed just because of ETH quotes, are you for real?! Some posts on here are literally a parody!
He is monetizing his memes
He probably wanted salary based on being in CL also.
Feck this he should be sent to the reserves for the remainder of the season, ETH grow a per and make it happen.
I reckon I am not certain the club was in a hurry to complete this deal. With Pavard not as cheap and Harry's exit not as profitable than hoped maybe the finance aspect wasn't working.
Maybe some, but surely most understand the comments had some bitter in them as if he knew the deal failed.Do people really believe he stayed just because of ETH quotes, are you for real?!
This one stings. The shit that won’t flush.
So let me get this straight. We have to pay Harry 190k a week and just to spite him you want us to pay an additional amount to a guy who is nowhere near good enough just so we can be petty?
Exactly, if anything, he made those comments because he knew the deal is not happening, not the other way around, it would be silly.
Surely even Woodward isn’t that thick to give him such clause without required minimal appearances during the season.
I don't have instagram so can't see his activity but simply using that as an example, you earn about £200k per 1m followers you have from brand posts at the upper end. I googled him and he's got 5m, for a reference point John Stones (a better, more marketable and more successful player) has half of that. United is a monster of a brand. It's kind of sickening when you think about it, when footballers go on holiday they'll likely pay for the holiday 5x over simply by sharing a pic of the hotel - if you play for the massive clubs like United, Barca, Real etc. you are at the top of the pecking order.
harry should be strapped down to the massage table. he should then have his training kit removed. his balls should then be covered in hot wax. rats should then be dropped at his feet to eat up small bits of offal from between his toes. his nipples should be crocodile clamped and tethered to the floor. he’ll cry out the safe word “large pay-off! large pay-off!” but his cries will be ignored.
I wouldn’t leave United for West Ham either to be fair, shite club. I certainly wouldn’t take 90 grand less a week for doing so and packing up my family to London.
If he stays he’ll likely see enough game time.

And I reckon a big part of that is because the manager isn’t overly bothered whether the player stays or goes. If he really wanted the player out, I think we would have seen more of a push.
Harry will have been thrilled with Mings going down on Saturday, it is not as if England has an abundance of decent options to compete with him for his place so he will continue to get into the squad and he will start over guys like Colwill because Sir Chinny Waistcoat does not like to gamble on youth, youth being defined as anyone under 29 or prone to play that fancy modern progressive football.
Yeah. And Harry just didn’t really want to go. Just one of those things. No use us crying about it at this point.
Largely apathetic about Maguire not coming, but a bit more vexed that the club is probably going to raise a quarter of a billion in sales yet doesn't appear to be spending much of it.
Lingard is 'keeping his fitness up' with us... murmurings about what that might mean.
Trying to nab Laporte as part of any Paqueta sale, have been linked with Jonathan Tah at Leverkusen all summer.
Embarrassing. He has no pride or dignity by the sounds of it.
All our players get salary boost by us being in CL I think.
Like a new signing
What a mess. I hope our CBs stay fit and in form for the season. Would be good to give Harry even less minutes than last season.
Puts a whole new perspective on our summer business after being so close to selling the 3 amigos and now looks like they’re all staying.
