Why are we giving ETH a new contract? Surely will come to bite us in the ass when we have to pay him a huge severance fee when we almost inevitably sack him...

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.
Tier 2:
That bid for Ugarte wasn't a formal bid, which means that this deal is still in the early stages.

Still completely bonkers to see this happening
this might be the ultimate case of rewarding mediocrity that we've ever witnessed.The manager who finished 8th last season. The manager who set new, unwanted records regularly last season. Who showed no real signs of tactics or ideas. Who allowed 30+ shots on our goal last season. Who had MANCHESTER UNITED on negative goal difference after many humiliating defeats including finishing bottom of the CL group.
This guy gets a new contract, but we want to be where Madrid are?
imagine Madrid having standards like this. They would be nowhere near where they are. Crazy times!If your TV remote took 2 batteries and wasn't working, and you changed one of the batteries several times with ones you knew were good, but the remote still didn't work, what would you do? Keep changing that same battery? No, you'd change the other one. Maybe it's time we did that for once.Still completely bonkers to see this happening

Did you watch us in last ten years? He probably got a bigger salary too.
Hopefully there are some break clauses in the contract that are favorable towards the club
Rumoured reasons:
Less influence under new terms, smaller break clause if he fails to achieve targets.
Not sure why folks are fretting. He's still under contract, so any new contract is likely going to be in our benefit as much as possible.
Why's everyone up in arms about a new contract? It doesn't say a longer contract, or more money, and the rumours are that his transfer veto will be removed, and as above, possible break clauses added.
Are people seriously bothered by a manager getting a new contract ? The only difference that makes is it he gets £4m or £6m if he gets fired
It's totally normal. There will likely be some sort of role amendments etc which would warrant an amended contract anyway. If they are changing the role title then it will also likely get a new contract by default because you're essentially making the old role redundant.
My current employers have 'given me a new contract' multiple times. For a range of reasons but one was literally just a change in the role title and like I said, that effectively meant the previous role was redundant.
But media use certain words, content creators talk about issues they don't have information or experience with and this drives a narrative that the general population then eat up.
People need to move on. He's our manager - end of story. Time to back him.
What exactly does this mean? Is all discussion forbidden now?
Tier 2:
No not at all. Discussion on the manager's performance should carry on forever. I just mean the constant moaning of the decision that has been made and will now not change - it's counter productive in my opinion.
Oh well..
Didn't Liverpool want Ugarte before he went to Paris? They need an upgrade for Endo.
The other club is obviously Chelsea - they want to be involved in all transfers.
Of course it will, but this is United we don’t do learning from mistakes
In their defence, they were in for him before he went PSG. Then again, who are they not in for at any given point in time.
I was hoping lessons were learned
Each! - that'll teach them.
What would a decent fee be? And would it be worth the points deduction they'd inevitably get for paying it?
Yes. The answer is yes. Please buy them, Everton. Please!
To answer your question: INEOS have changed the way things are run and manager's role in general.
So they need a new legally binding document that reflects all of these changes.
Past the ‘considering’ stage though?
FOMO FC
Both + 25m for JB
Both + 50m for JB & AO!
€30m sounds a fair price.
both have only 1 year left of their contract and have higher wages than clubs normally pay for similar players and they are only squad options for us
Thats to much, Bissaka is still 26, Lindelof would flourish in average team same as Andreas P.
2 for 1
2 for 1
AWB would be great for a Dyche team
If only there was a mutually agreeable situation that involved us getting a player from Everton at the same time....
Swap for Brathwaite.
35 million + Lindelöf. Not selling AWB until we at least have one more full-back in place
Nah, sell him while there is concrete interest in him and figure it out afterwards. Plenty of time to get a replacement.
We don’t have a choice after deciding to keep him. Not giving him one makes it look like we don’t think it’s going to succeed. I’m pretty sure it’ll have break clauses in, for example if he doesn’t make the champions league, there’s minimal compensation.
