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.
That makes sense. It's hard enough as it is.
When is this draft starting @Edgar Allan Pillow . Oh @Annahnomoss is my scout.
@Edgar Allan Pillow just to confirm if the picking order is .
MJJ- A, B, C,D
B has to play with A.
C has to play with B but not with A.
D has to play with C but not with B(no restrictions in terms of A?)

Eusebio and Neeskens
Wait, are you playing or @crappycraperson?
From crappy's post I suspect he would rather let you play but, if that is the case, bear in mind his Puskas-Zico block doesn't count. Would it still be Neeskens and Eusebio?
As soon as crappy/Kazi blocks are clear it would just be us two remaining. Then it starts.
@crappycraperson sorry mate @Kazi replied first. Got to give the spot to him.
I could use an AM if you can put up with my insane thought process!

Is antohan playing though? Also has Marty withdrew? berbasloth4 also said he might give his spot away
Time starts Wednesday. But drafting can start once all blocks are in.
Anto replaced Marty1968.
@berbasloth4 has not withdrawn. Just offered his place. He has choice to continue.
Yes. Correct.
OK so:
1) @Kazi, please confirm your blocks. Notice Puskas and Zico are NOT blocked since crappy ain't playing.
2) Once you do @Joga Bonito and I can decide on ours (only reason we should wait is you would be entitled to change your mind as I don't think you noticed crappy wasn't playing).
3) After that @mazhar13 can make the first pick
- Tuppet - Messi & Garrincha
- mazhar13 - Maldini & Matthäus
- diarm - Iniesta & Seedorf
- Stobzilla - Edwards & C. Ronaldo
- Sjor Bepo - Platini & Di Stefano
- Skizzo - Maradona & Thuram
- bleezy - Baresi & Desailly
- EAP - Pele & L. Ronaldo
- Joga Bonito -
- The Stain - Zidane & Beckenbauer
- antohan -
- green_smiley - Rijkaard & van Basten
- MJJ - Cruyff & Xavi
- Kazi -
- Cutch - Keane & Best
- berbasloth4 - Redondo & Ronaldinho
If crappy wants my spot he can have it
I can't believe no-one has blocked a keeper 
Could've been a downer to EAP's idea if everyone would've blocked only keepersI can't believe no-one has blocked a keeper
From what I gathered he didn't want it, he just wants the bloody thing to start, just like me. The entire fun is once the draft gets going and here we are fecking about with player blocks.

Everyone would have a Massimo Taibi cloneThis. So much this.
It would have been much funnier to wait until halfway through the draft, then everyone gets to block one player from the team above them, and they have to fill in that chain with someone who would still meet the requirement.
Can add another cool twist if you want to be wicked @Edgar Allan Pillow
Before the drafting start you randomise 3 managers and PM them it's them, they get one chance to stop the any manager(each manager can be hit with it once), forcing him to choose a player who had to grow in the same youth club. This can put a big dent in some manager's plans.

Don't know amte. After the block rounds I presume this will be tough as it is. Don't want it to be too complex that team building becomes impossible!
Agreed, I was just fecking about. BTW, you did drop the country limit right?
I'm not submitting anything until I know which out of Puskas/Zico/Eusebio/Neeskens are blocked. The moment @Kazi gets back to us, it should be a breeze.
Draft Rule Change (O3)
Notice:
Rule O3 has been changed. Please find the revised rule as below. Updated in OP too.
Overall Rules:
O3 - Club link can be established only if both players have played together for the same club in a given season. Seasons need to have a minimum 15 matches by each player (mail league or champions league only(No cups). For NT card, it should be at least 1 match in any international tournament (i.e. no friendlies).

No, what I'm seeing is that the moment managers don't feel in control they aren't too keen on playing either.
Why 5 now? Five is an accident, a youth player getting a few runouts with the big boys, etc. Is there a
link that just happens to get ruled out that way?Seriously, there's truckloads of journeyman club-hopping which consists of a handful of games here and there. If we are going there it's a bit shit TBH. I'd say it's 15 at least for a link to be in place, and any number being enough for a relationship.
i.e. A played with B at least 15, B played with C at least 15, C and A simply can't have played together AT ALL. That's what best reflects the spirit of it, anything else is fine-tuning based on specific scenarios.
No Keep on playing. I wanted a break anyway
Joga came into the threat and still did not post his blocks.. odd.
In fairness, there's a massive question mark now on whether Puskas/Zico/Eusebio/Neeskens are blocked. As far as I'm concerned, I'd definitely block some of those if Kazi doesn't, but then there are others I'm interested in and their (un)availability would guide my block picks.
I thought my blocks did not count and Kazi's did since he got trippy's spot.
And so here we are...
Yes, but @Kazi submitted his under the assumption Zico and Puskas were blocked, I doubt he realised you weren't playing. He is entitled to change them.
I imagine you are in the same place as me: I had a long boring weekend ahead and thought "well, this could provide a bit of fun". NOT.
Would rather let crappy play tbh, if he wants
But he doesn't, he wanted a break and steppped in to make this get started.
FFS, make up your minds people!
Fine, Eusebio and Puskas. Let's go.
A couple of players I'm delighted that haven't gone blocked.
