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.

Nice goal. Still should have helped out his full back more in the first half.
Sweet goal by Bale to close the gap to 4-2 v Arsenal. Suddenly, he's on fire.
Greedy.
Definitely selfish. Always wants to be the star.
That said, he'd be fantastic at United under Fergie. He's a classic Fergie winger.
I doubt Spurs would actually want £40m for him. If we came in for him, then his head would probably be turned and he'd want to leave, which he's already shown signs of at times. As long as no other major clubs come in for him, I think Tottenham would eventually budge and settle for something like £25m, which is a fair price in today's markets.
He would suit us too. Fergie likes his direct wingers, but Bale does have more to his game than Valencia and would offer more of a goal threat too.
Yep problem being the British tax plus the hype has well inflated the price. But you do pay more for left siders and I suppose Bale is more proven than what Valencia was when we signed him.
On the previous page, you called him anonymous, but when he pops up with a goal and brings his team back into it, proving your previous statement wrong, you continue to nitpick. Can't you praise him for anything?
25m would be a fair price but Levy would want double and City would probably give them that.
They would but it would depend on whether they're interested or not I suppose. If they are, then it's a no go either way since they'll simply outbid us. If not though, and he's desperate to leave, Spurs would probably sell for around that price.
Then the sudden swaying of opinions in here would be absolutely hilarious too.

I think the "greedy" post was a result of Bale getting into a great position but shooting and wasting the chance rather that squaring it for a tap in.
He had every right to take that shot on. He'd done the full run and had a very good chance. If it was one of our players in a similar position he'd be praising them for taking an effort like that.
Imagine Bale paired with Valencia on either flank....old school
I don't agree with that and I'm no Bale basher. He should have been crossing that.
Cheesy for feck sake he had to square that to be fair. But i do agree about watching the opinions changing.
We wouldn't really, we'd be annoyed at him for not picking the better option. If how far he had run had any bearing on his decision it just further shows that he was motivated by greed.
And Rooney and RVP through the middle that would be just nuts.
Smirking at the end with Walcott after losing 5-2 to their biggest rivals. Great attitude.
It's embarrassing how much some of you hate him.
It's really just Lynk, isn't it?
What a pathetic criticism. Seriously?
Not really. If any of our players did that I'd call them out on it.
Imagine Rooney/Vidic sharing a laugh with Gerrard or Kompany after we got annihilated?
Overrated. Playing at the right level at Spurs. Not really world-class.
Your hatred of Gareth bale is a tad over the top. It's a bit sad too
I'm not talking about if you rate him or not. Football is all about opinions. But you appear to have real hate for him.
I almost want him here just to see what would happen with Lynk.
Had a poor game against City, and was pretty poor today. Still cropped up with a goal, and should've made another.
Wonder how many on here would still pick Nani over him.

He's a great player, but there is too much fuzz about him. Look at this thread, it is booming over, yet in Walcott's thread it is about as silent as a grave, and Walcott played a much better game!
Nope. Noticed it from quite a few posters. It's very weird. As though we're talking about a rival team's player or someone we have reason to be bitter towards.
I didn't mind Bale a season or two ago, but since that "Best Performance in the world EVER (tm)" against Inter, the hype has just been unbearable. And Bale at the moment is playing like he believes he is worthy of that hype, from the greedy runs to pinning his ears back and wearing flash boots/haircut. He's trying to turn himself into a Ronaldo-esque inside forward, when clearly it's not his game. And for someone who used to be a defender he offers feck all help to his full-backs, Walcott was tearing Spurs a new one in the first half, and with 10 men he did feck all to help.
I blame the managers more than Bale. 'Arry started the nonsense and Boas is continuing with it. Annoys me no end.
Redknapp thinks Bale is up there with Messi and Ronaldo. So it's a fair point.
How can you even compare the two performances? Walcott's team had an extra man.
I agree with all of that. I too think he's being misused and seems to think he's some complete attacker like Ronaldo whereas he should stick to being a wide player. However, the dislike has gone overboard here. He's not Carlos Tevez ffs.
He's on FIFA's shortlist for DEFENDER of the year. I despair.
Wtf
Did Gareth Crooks create this?
Who compiles these lists ? Do they even watch football ?

Still a favourite, something like Hazard, Mata and Silva as a midfield 3.
Edit: Sterling instead of Silva. Equally ridiculous.
