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.

Sigh. How can a football club and two people I don't know personally leave me so depressed. 
He did meet with fergie where he pointed out he wanted to leave. fergie confirmed that today.
If you want to leave, you want to leave.
6 months ago was before the media shit storm around his private life. Things change.
I'll give you that.
I haven't seen it. I'm at work.
You have to ask why.
This was before all his poor form, explains it now. Bewildered... what the feck does he want?
And he would be rarely, if ever, be played by Fergie. His career would be in ruins in those 18th months with no game time.
Have to set Rooney now on a future transfer in FM 11 then.
'We’ve always been there as a harbour for him. Any time he’s been in trouble, the advice we’ve given him – I’ve even been prepared to give him financial advice, many times.
'But you do that for your players, not just Wayne Rooney. That’s Manchester United. This is a club which bases all its history and its tradition on the loyalty and trust between managers and players and the club.

I'd lay low if I were you... you're not very popular round her at the moment!
We've won three premier league titles and the biggest trophy a club team can, the CL, in the last four years. And one year of finishing A SINGLE POINT behind Chelsea and almost making it to the CL final.
We lost two players. One because no reason other than the player being of a certain nationality, and players of that nationality always prefer Spain to England. It would have happened at any English club. And the other because at the time he was well over priced.
If Fergie was worried about his sanity enough to drop him for Goodison I can't see him playing at Old Trafford again. Then again SAF might want to teach him a lesson in the coming weeks if the fat cnut doesn't change his mind.
Simple Question: Ronaldo, Tevez and Rooney; who left the club in the worse manner?
(Hypothetically in this case of Rooney, lets assume he goes to City/Chelsea/Madrid in January.)
I cant decide in fairness.

Fergie announced in his interview, after finding out from Gill, he approached Rooney who denied him that.
We can disagree, either way, he's lost all respect from me. I don't want him near the pitch if I'm honest. Rather have players who want to play for us.
I really hope not, hes dead to us now, why give him the game time another player who actually wants to be here needs?
Stick him in training with the reserves and give him no game time at all, he dosnt want to play for us then fine he dosnt play.

Hmmmm... no wonder you're a little behind on current events.
The thing is though what has been in papers has as good a chance of being bullshit as it does of being true. I take everything written with a pinch of salt.
All we know for sure is what Fergie has told us. Fergie has not said he's disrespected the club in any way.
that's what I reckon
Rooney: one fecked up young bloke
also, bear in mind he's been shite for England too
feck him, a decent striker and centre mid and we're stronger without him.
The days of letting a player rot on the bench are gone. The FIFA regs would allow him to walk for free long before 18 months was up.
depends on the motivation really of seeking the move.
I've updated my "rules for succesful football management"...
Never sign Argies or Scousers

Has anyone else had their undying faith in Sir Alex reaffirmed today?
It never ceases to amaze me that every time he utters something in public it always reveals his commitment to United and the scale of the efforts he puts in that we often don't see.
Thought he handled today brilliantly.
I reckon there will be a fair few username change requests.
Well Tevez was way, way worse than Ronaldo. In fact Ronaldo left in very respectable terms and will always be considered a bit of a club favourite now.
Rooney, depends where he goes. If it's Shitty then ... ugh.
If SAF felt there was any chance of him changing his mind, I don't believe he would have gone public today.
Wow. Saf really is legend. That MUTV interview with him speaking of the history of the club...tears in my eye.
We'll bounce back alright. This is United we're talking about. He was just a jigsaw in the puzzle. He'll be replaced just fine.
What I'm worried about is him moving to another English club. That could come to really haunt us big time. Hope he goes to Real or something. First time I'd ever want Real to take a player off us!!
Very similar this to becks. For those who were here then, read up that thread. Same disbelief, same doubts for the club, SAF has lost it, United are in decline, etc.
Well, two CL finals later, we still keep on going. Move over Wayne, Chicharito is ready to score goals.

I wondered if SAF was going to go public, I'm less surprised than most about it - I don't think he fancies another few months of Fergie, Fergie sign him up.
I doubt many people now want to play him irrespective of performance - so he can get his form back, because, "it's Wazza and that's what you have to do." I doubt they'll be much "boys will be boys" sympathy over the next media expose, or even much faith in Rooney's efforts to get and keep himself focussed and fit.
So he can play his heart out for us for the rest of the season and I'll buy that at least he's a serious professional who decided to move on, not the spoilt brat he looks like right now.

I know. I was pointing that out rather.
Not exactly torn down is it? More like removed carefully...
First time Real don't really need a player of his calibre off us though...
Tevez was never a Man Utd owned player so there is no point comparing.
Rooney no matter who he goes to has done it in the worst way. Unforgivable really. If he goes the City this is times 100
We knew before today that the stories in the papers were coming from Rooney's advisors. They were briefing the journalists, although to exactly what end was less clear.
Nope, never want him on that pitch again. Berba and Hernandez up front has to be it now.
Exactly.
feck off Wayne. Now we can all call you overrated and mention just how poor your first touch has been.
I reckon there's more than one answer. Where the ownership is taking us is obviously one reason, but if money is the motivation behind this Rooney transfer request than you can't ignore City's financial strength in today's market as something that had no parallels.
Nevermind the exact figures being thrown out, City are capable of paying soemthing no ownersip at United would or should have paid to keep one player.
Precisely. Ferguson knew that by doing this, he'd turn all the fans against him. Rooneys gone chaps
