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.
Spurs won't let him go to Chelsea, I just hope City don't get him.
This is what I'm thinking. He always pisses off for months at a time when Spurs are shit.
Wouldn't be a great surprise to see him disappear for good if he owes alot of people money.
Shall I ask the same question in revesre of the two posters with whom I've agreed a wager?
I think not ...and therein lies a difference between you and I.
I'll put £25 to that.
Yeah, I want to know if I will actually get my money, or if you will pull another of your disappearing acts.
Have you lost a bet with anyone here previously and paid up?
Maybe we should make an offer of Carrick, Evans and Berbatov for Modric. It gives them a quality striker and defender which address their needs, abeit an inferior midfielder replacement, and improve their team. How's that?
To be fair, As a United fan I hope you're right and he remains at Spurs, rather than make Chelsea stronger.
Modric wants to leave and has been specific about his destination. You better believe that he's ready for a transfer request if its needed.
Chelsea are not going to be paying double what they originally bid for him
So we go into the season with only Owen as a back-up striker? And only 4 midfielders? Nah, unless we're doing a shitload more business that we haven't heard about there's no way that'll happen.
You really are a bit of a tosser ain't ya? Spouting bollox seems to be your stock-in-trade.
So far only £30 has been bet against me, And I notice that you have not put your money where your mouth is on the very generous terms I've offered, namely that Modric will still be at Spurs next season regardless of how much is bid for him and regardless of which club wants him.
Ian McGarry says talks between Modric and Chelsea are at an advanced stage.
He clearly wants to go there.

Modric has 2/3 assists last season,can't remember which it is but hardly going to set the world alight.He is very overated and this is not sour grapes as he is leaning towards Chelski.If we have 30 million plus to spend on a CREATIVE midfielder it could be spent much better than on Modric.
Im quite disapointed in Modric, i know he isnt the first player to do this but he has just signed a long term contract.
If Spurs could hold onto their best players they would but a top club.

I'd have thought you could see it his way, GloryHunter07
Deal.
I'll have £50 that Modric leaves Spurs in this transfer window
But the fact he doesn't get the assists directly is tantamount to how they play, he spreads the defenses allowing a simple cut back/cross from Bale and Lennon, despite not getting the assist he still created the goal.
Football isn't a mathematical game.
Fergie called him the best footballer in England.
Such comments don't reflect well on you. You do realise this - right?
So, that's a 'no' then.
Of course I do, i've never said that. However, those quotes do not suggest that he will ONLY move to a London club. Thats the impression most of you seem to have, but I cant see why. Plenty of footballers have had families settled in different areas, it hasnt stopped them in the past though.
I might be being naive, but the way Harry and Modric's team mates talk about him, he doesnt come across as a man motivated by money.
I'm with you totally.
Any more bets and Glaston will be able to buy Drogba for Spurs, should Modric stay. 
It's whatever your suspicious little mind imagines it to be.
"I have an arrangement with the chairman. When I signed my new contract, he said that, if another club came to sign me, they would consider the offer. I won't ask for a transfer, no. That would be disrespectful. I hope they can reach an agreement that is satisfactory for everyone."
If that's his actual quote that means he had signed a long term contract with an understanding that if CFC or other club come back with an offer following summer he'll be allowed to leave and Spurs will get satisfactory compensation.
Obviously we were never interested then as the great man would never talk up a potential transfer target to drive the price up,he would only do that to inflate the price as he did with Adam.
I agree stats don't tell the full story but you would expect the creative midfielder in a top 6 premiership side that had a good run in Europe to have more than a couple of assists.
I am not imagining anything. You obviously have no history of making good on lost wagers here. If you had, you would say, and I would be happy to take your money.
As it stands, I don't trust you as far as I could throw you. I would also suggest that anyone who has made a wager with Glaston demand that the money be placed in escrow.
Possibly.
So if Modric leaves Glaston has to deal with Spurs losing their best player and has to fork out £105 to United fans?
Whichever way the bet goes it'll be interesting to see who actually pays.

Situation might be reversed. A lot of people may end up owing him money.
Wonder if they'll pay up.....
@GlastonSpur
What makes you think Levy wouldn't sell for £100m?

He will be easy to find next season,he will be the one with a rope burn around his neck and red eyes from all the crying outside white hart lane.
I hope thats a joke!
Make the bet, and find out if he'll pay later, instead of beating around the bush.
I think he'll stay in London.
Everyone on the forum should bet him a quid, if Modric stays we all pay him no big deal, quid each and one transaction, if he leaves then he owes £40,000 in separate transactions.
Do you imagine that any poster on here to whom I'd lost a bet and then refused to pay would not have made this publicly known on Red cafe?
So if you are not going to accept my offered bet, I can only suggest you that you feck off and stop being such a tosser.
