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.
So it all begins
I still can't get over this whole deal 
How much for?
Finally...
Good luck to him. I hope he tears it up...... or fails miserably then signs for us in 2 years for peanuts

£85m or €100m apparently.
*breathes sigh of relief*
Always said he'd either be at us or Real Madrid eventually. Still believe he will play for us one day.
The fee depends on who you believe.
Madrid say 91m. Spurs say 100m
sounds like Madrid are trying to be sneaky about it so not to upset Ronaldo

Thread title should be changed:
Gareth Bale is...world's most expensive footballer

Just like Ronaldo huh ?
Levy deserves some sort of award for being an incredible con man.
Makes no fecking sense. Football...bloody hell.
Unfeckingbelievable.
Nope. Brilliant business by the Spurs. If I look at the group of players they got for that money, they come out way ahead.
BBC say £85.3m (100m euros).
LET THE DOMINOES FALL!
If it's €100m then that's the same as the Ronaldo fee, except different exchange rate
If you speak to Real Madrid, they say it's less than the fee paid for Ronaldo, which I believe. Tottenham, however, say that the fee is 100ME.
He is going to crash and burn at Madrid.
I think he'll be a good player for madrid but nothing exceptional, looking forward to seeing him back in the premier league in 3 years.
I just hope we can get some of their players now... get it done Arséne!
Na, he's too good. He will have a field day in La Liga.
Good player but not worth that. Isco will be the better signing of the 2.
You obviously didn't watch Paulinho, Capoue and Chadli today - bigger waste of £35M than you know who.
The fee in itself is ridiculous but it was the wages that really surprised me. £300,000 a week according to BBC. Completely ridiculous if true. He won't even be their best player, and arguably won't be one of their top 3 even.
Massive pedestal he's been put on.

And you gather that from one match? Geez, thats some perspective.
If it's true that he's on 300k a week I'd understand Ronaldo's frustration...
Absolutely ridiculous.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Ridiculous.
One of the few genuine match winners in world football, big loss for Spurs, and the Premiership.
300k p/w?
i feel like little shit now.

Oh my! What a fee, Levy the tough bastard.
Hopefully he will want to leave as a result.. Wishful thinking.
That's not strictly true and in any case is a better idea than basing my view on £££paid and players not seen.
The Wales star has agreed a £300,000 per week, six-year deal after sealing an £85.3m (100m euros) move which eclipses the £80m Real paid Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009. (From BBC)
Six years, if he fails then he can just sit on 300k a week till he is 30. fecking hell.

It's almost like Madrid are deliberately trying to piss Ronaldo off
This is bat shit mental.
