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.
Paul Stretford is the main problem in my opinion. He's a thoroughly disgusting human being. He probably lost money when Rooney lost sponsorship and is searching for how to get it back from his cash cow.
You're right to a point, but a good portion of this is to blame at Stretford. Unless you have your own personal jet, you could not fecking spend 45,000 quid a week even if you tried. I mean unless your snorting coke, fecking 1200 quid prossies every night, buying palets of 30 year old wine, staying in the most expensive room at the Hilton and eating gold plated steaks, you could not do it an even then you'd struggle to hit 30 odd. And stretford wants 150,000 quid a week after tax
The fecking audacity of players too demand this kind of money is an absolute joke. That is 5 times what most people earn in a year per week.
Those people don't make their respective businesses hundreds of millions in revenue, if they did you can bet your arse they would be wanting a payrise.
I never get the argument of footballers don't deserve their wages. Any person who earns their company massive massive massive massive massive money is entitled to a share of it. If they happen to earn such a massive amount of money for their company that their own share ends up being massive, then so what, it has feck all to do with the person who earns his company nothing and therefore doesn't get paid as much.
However, I do have a problem with the way he is treating the club through not getting what he wants. Being a brat and a cnut is different and throwing his toys out of the pram shows where his loyalties lie, if he wants more money then fair play. If he wants to be a dick about it when he doesn't get his own way then he can do and he's already seen the reaction that it's got him.
I bet he's wishing he never said anything in the first place.

You're right. United and Arsenal are right to stand up against overpaid greedy footballers.
Stretford can't do anything without the approval of Rooney. There is one person to blame for this mess, and it's not the agent.
Rooney's just released a statement, said he wants to play in a different League next season. Liverpool have bid £30m.
I'm aware this has probably been posted before

I like the "it's not greed, just look at the clothes he wears for proof of that" part
A big marquee is being erected at Rooneys mansion in readiness for Rooneys birthday party. O'Shea, Carrick and Brown were invited to the wedding so I wonder if they will be there on Sunday.
Of course they will be, they're his mates
I like thatExactly.
Rooney is old enough to make his own decisions. Yeah, Stretford can advise, but Rooney makes his own mind up.
Exactly, the agent may have some control over his life ie talking to possible clubs about a move and personal terms but when he presents that to his client his client is the one that agrees and says "yeah thats for me". Also i dont think Stretford would go around talking to clubs on his own, he probably had the go ahead in the first place by Rooney.
But if you dont want to believe that then Stretford could have started it all by saying you could get more money from other clubs, i've talked to ... but at the end of it Rooney was the one that approved it
Yes they can. They drop subtle hints to the press and deny it was them, these people aren't silly, if they want to create this type of thing, they know exactly how to do it without looking bad to the player, they know how to make one club/manager look weak and another an other look a more promising destination. Agents have more power than anyone in todays game, just like they do in Hollywood.
Agents are the greedy people in the industry, and the bad ones know exactly twist everything to their favour, not only do they get cuts of the transfer, they also get as much as 20% of the wages, so trying to push your player from 120k to 250k is a bigger to them than probably the player.
We should be proud, if it was the Scousers, they wouldn't have got the spelling or punctuation right.
We are best, even at ridiculous graffiti!
Ok guys, could be on to something big here. Dont shoot the messenger, this could be bollocks. Just saying what i've heard.
My mate called me there to say that Rooneys announced to the players 10 minutes ago in training that he's staying. His sister in law is only after receiving a text from Corry Evans who she's very close friends with.
Thats all i've heard. As i say could be bollocks! I'll be prepared to take all the abuse if it is. We'll see what materialises.

"Erm sign for Everton and ** ermm dead"
Has this twat gone yet?
Unfortunately not.
What you're saying is that he's off then.
They don't make the decisions. Rooney does. This is not complicated.
You have no clue how a agent-player relationship if you think it's this simple.
Oh yeah. I can see you replied to his last post. My bad.
If that's true I'm disgusted. You never ever let employees dictate terms in the way Rooney has. It sets a dangerous precedent and the Club will be a laughing stock.
Sorry but that sounds like a load of rubbish. I'm sure you understand the scepticism of such a story?
Where did i say that mate? Staying is what i've heard. Neither he or the girl are the sort to make things up. I know for a fact she's close to Corry so we'll wait and see.
Of course i do, thats why i said about 3 times 'could be bollocks'. Just thought i'd pass on what i heard if it does turn out to be true
I can confirm this as I was cutting the lawn and over heard him say he is staying.
I wouldn't need to be a professional player or agent to know how agents work. Players have a closer relationship with their agent than anyone else in the football world(barring maybe one or two youth players they've grown up with), and agents are incredibly smart, they know how to twist anything to their favour.
Don't kid yourself if you think they aren't behind most decisions made.

I know who employs who. Clearly you don't.

Much as I love Roo, he doesn't deserve the money he asked for, it would be unwise to set precedents in paying that kind of money and it was an extremely bad move of him and his agent to release the most recent statement to the media.
I believe him to an extent where he has talked about the spending issues of United. However, if he can't see that United is pretty well hamstrung by its debts and asking for more money for himself and new big names is just going to lead United more up shitcreek, then I'd be fine with him going.
I thought Patrice Evra spoke articulately and wisely in the article on the Telegraph's website.
I honestly think Rooney has lots of personal issues to deal with and that's why his performance has been mediocre for much of this year. It's not Man United, it's him. He probably needs to go to a European league and get the hell out of the UK to someplace where his extra marital activities won't be interesting to the media.

All bets suspended now apparently
It's back on lads. IT'S. BACK. ON.
Rio just tweeted that 'it's a beautiful day'. Rooney's staying. Long live the king.
Actually....what's the weather like in Manc?

CLEARLY!
Who makes the decisions? Rooney, or Stretford? I require a one word response from you.
Clearly Rooney's PR team represent him. To argue that Wayne might not have endorsed or agreed to those comments, or the words that came out of his mouth is absurd.
