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.
Don't you remember that famous Sir Matt Busby quote "Football is nothing without Saudis".
He probably think he’s done a fantastic job in his time here.
This is
Yes I do.
Was incredible the way JP Morgan helped us after Munich.
Good post, maybe you're right.
That's true, dumb decisions affect clubs, on the other hand city can spend millions and millions on freaking defenders and it doesn't matter. If it doesn't work out, they do it again next year. I wonder why the two oil clubs involved where the first to get out.
Good that this joke of a super league is falling apart, but let's not forget that it fell off because UEFA threatened the clubs. UEFA has a lot of corruption and things that need to be fixed, and I think today events will make that harder. It seems that UEFA came out more powerful. I hope Im wrong.
And BTW, I'm really embarrassed that Juventus is still one of the clubs trying to make this work and havent officially abandoned this dumb idea.
Any punishment is pointless unless those responsible are hit where it hurts. So I'd suggest the yearly dividends to the Glazers to be suspended.
Dear Malcolm must be turning in his grave with the way his son Joel fcuked up.
Lost what exactly?
Yep. There should be some form of punishment.
I just woke up. Chauvin found guilty of murder and this, the best morning in at least 14 months for me 
All of you who said the ESL was inevitable and nothing stopping it now.

I mean you're omitting salaries here. Ronaldo makes €31m net per season; that's €60m gross, so in 3 seasons, your outlay for Ronaldo has been €280m. That buys an absolute feckton of defenders mate.
Thank you sir
of course he has. Didn't you see his statement where he thanked the fans for all their support to him? I mean he is delusional if he thinks the fans supported him.
That's exactly what it's looking like now. This was born out of desperation for the Spanish teams finances after wasting so much money. This financial ruin is well deserved. This was their desperation bid. They then probably asked the fellow destatable cnuts the glazers and co who heard 'wait we can make more money??. Where do we sign up'
Yes that's the point. A huge salary for Ronaldo hinders their ability on the market. It didn't work out because the goal was to win the CL. Now they are financially fecked until Ronaldo leaves. Mistakes have an effect on clubs and that's fine, it should be that way. Thats not what happens at city or psg. They can make a mistake, spend whatever they want and keep spending and trying. Or are you trying to argue most clubs spend as much as city?
I'm arguing that City haven't made a mistake anywhere near as catastrophic as what you did with Ronaldo. City haven't come anywhere close to investing that amount in a single player - they diversify their investments across multiple positions to mitigate risk.
Imagine spending 16 years of your life as an employee of a football club, and every fan of the club fecking just goes full Mario Balotelli with the celebrations when you decide to leave.
I am seriously worried about our Club financial future in short term.
exactly!
Perez isn't giving up!
I seriously don't know what else they can do to make this a reality.
Guy will end up making it a global thing with Corithians, Flamengo, Fluminense, Boca, River, Club America, Atlanta United, L.A. Galaxy, Al Ahly all getting invites
World Super League
World Soccer League
Yes because they can spend whatever they want. The Ronaldo situation will be no big deal for them. Didn't they just bought Ruben dias for about 70 euros this season? Last season both cancelo and rodri for over 60 each? Every year they have purchases like that.
Anyway I have reached my post limit.
Funny seeing Chelsea and City fans on reddit claiming the moral high ground that it's Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal fault and their club were just deceived.
Tribalism at its finest and unfortunately and rightly as the two biggest clubs in this country we will bear the brunt of this. We will never forget what happened over the last two days. However, never forget the atrocities associated with those two clubs and PSG.
Our clubs have some of the greediest money grabbing cnuts in the world, those clubs are backed by regimes sportswashing their brands and who have committed atrocities against humanity.
Seeing all this now, I just wish something similar would have happened when Chelsea and City started blatantly buying titles with oil money. Where were all those pundits, players and leaders back then?
Tbf by pretty much all accounts ourselves, Liverpool and Real were the ringleaders of this shit-show so I have no issue with us taking particular flack.
From other clubs, that is. Not from the dipshit clubs who jumped off the cliff with us.
Pinning it on Arsenal seems particularly unfair given I would assume they were just delighted to be invited along by the big kids.
It's not ok that he will stay on until the end of the year. He should never set foot in the club again. Infact, he should be barred from ever working in football again.
Assigning blame seems pretty futile. Obviously Perez, Henry and Glazer are the 3 biggest culprits in this fiasco. By far.
Who cares at what point the owners bottled out? They will have all bottled it literally within half an hour of each other, even if some of the announcements came later, after 'the 12' had their zoom call.

Look pal, i completely agree with that. But we can't afford to denigrate the work those involved have done regardless of past failures. All that we can do is now encourage them to put pressure on those clubs.
Who would watch that? Without premier league clubs the project is dead. Simple as that.
Yes, it's going to happen anyway and fans around the world think they made a difference.
Greed always wins in the end.
For the first time, I have greater than 0% chance that maybe its possible to force out Kroenke from Arsenal (who really ruined any enthusiasm for the modern version of the club). It would be really nice if fans could reclaim even the tiniest amount of influence at the clubs. I don't have much hope, but at least there is a tiny crack
Klopp barely said anything. Henderson spoke out once the the crash was imminent.
Evidently they’re saying they’re going to keep working on it. I just said a possibility albeit tongue-n-cheek. Nor was I saying that it would be successful or that people would flock to it
No way. The current Arsenal is no where near deserving of being in a "Super League" and even if this was an early 2000s Arsenal competing for the league, it would be a rotten idea. I'd like to believe no decent Gooner would ever consider it a good idea even if the club wasn't miles away from being anywhere near the elite.
Thought I'd check the Juventuz forum to see their take on this but what an awful bunch. I assume no one on there is actually Italian but it was still surprising to me how Pro Super League they are/were.
good statement from the Milan Ultras

Would love this to happen but I don't think it will. Please go after the Glazers. Would be glorious. All these owners have no business managing important these institutions.
Klopp said as much as he could, henderson and the liverpool players after a presumably coordinated meeting released simultaneous identical posts against the ESL. We at that point had not yet formally withdrawn from this abomination. Henderson also called a captains meeting for the PL captains.
Now is not the time for tribalism and points scoring between fans pal, now is the time to unite whatever fanbase you are from against these billionaire owners attempting to centralise the wealth power and influence of this game. They attempted to take from us what the great people of our respective institutions built. Please just forget rivalry for the foreseeable future and help unite against these unrelenting parasites and their insatiable greed.
But look how money is distributed in the spanish league. The top lot get clear advantage in their own league and Europe.
