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.
That hadn't occurred to me but you're right, that's the best news of the day.
I take back all my apologies. I was right all along! What a storm in a teacup week that was.
I don't know how I feel about Rooney after this but it will make Sir Alex happy and help the team so thats what counts. I hope he was just (extreamly) badly advised.
Different case completely
Tell me how does it make financial and footballing sense to lose your best player half way through the season for virtually peanuts? And yes, people will forget. Fans forgot Rio's cnutish behaviour....after a couple of good seasons, so I'm sure they'll forgive and forget. It's always been the way of the world.
There's every chance he'll be sold in the summer. As if you can believe what Wayne Rooney has to say.
according to twitter, yes.
wasn't that why we got rid? He was bad mouthing Fletcher and others on MUTV? Well, that's definitely part of why we got rid!
i wonder what Rooney was promised
Of course he did back in 2000.
But he didn't go as far as Rooney. Rooney has been an absolute cnut. Will take him a long time to win me over again.
Can't wait for the City derby now. They'll be furious 
Great News !!!
It now means we can slap a huge transfer price on him. Too much damage has been done in my eyes for it to ever return to normal for him. I imagine Fergie will already have half an eye on his replacement.

There are pictures of Rooney and Fergie today on getty images. I am having trouble copying them.
Oh so Fergie turned up this morning and said
"now look Wayne, you've been really silly here.. We won't be giving you any more money and if you persist in this nonsense you are being sold to Man City where they will pay you twice what we're prepared to give you"
"oh ok boss.. I'll stay"
I literally have no idea how to feel about this.
Someone tell me.
Someone tell me.
Why does anyone think he was promised anything ffs?
Well done cutch. Top marks. You do realise now that it you make a post saying anything, im going to take it as gospel that you're right. At the moment you could say Cheryl cole left ashley for you and i would have to believe you.
Rooney should really hire Ari Gold as his agent now.
Forget about Rooney and revel in Ferguson's genius.
Rooney is staying but now I'm more unhappy then yesterday... Before a week ago, for me, Rooney represented synonim for loyalty towards this club.... He represented younger generation of someone like Giggs, Scholes and Nevile... I would have never bet that he would wish to leave this club... But now, he is just another mercenary in this crazy world of football... Now for me it always will be: United > Giggs, Scholes, Nevile, Evra > Fletcher > all the rest

Smug scouse twat. fecking hell
Can't wait for the City derby now. They'll be furious
Not from what I've seen.
Most City fans didn't want him anyway.
Those that did only wanted to see him put on a CIty shirt as a two fingers up to United.

To be fair, this had feck all to do with City. If a player wants to leave a club it doesn't mean City can assume ownership.
Just heard the news!
What a ridiculous week its been!?
But ok then, Wayne. Stay if you must. Looks like some sense has finally gone to his head. But he's got a lot of grovelling to do with the fans and players. In time we will forgive him though. Football fans are fickle like that.

how do u know he hasnt? stfu
feck me.
I was shocked, disappointed and angry at him wanting to leave. This u-turn is great news! It'll take a few big performances before we forgive him, but we will. Like we did with Ronaldo.
Key part of he statement for me, very carefully worded:-
"I'm sure the fans over the last week have felt let down by what they've read and seen. But my position was from concern over the future. The fans have been brilliant with me since I arrived and it's up to me through my performances to win them over again."

Errr....not everyone tbf Fred....but yeah, i predicted the vast majority to quickly hide the gallows and nooses they had prematurely prepared.
Not saying Rooney hasn't been a cock in all of this because he has and he's got a lot of making up to do....but what makes me sick is that the many people on here who, day in day out, lambast the press for printing stories with no element of fact are the same people who call for a player's head before they know the whole story. It's ridiculous.
At least the club can sell him for optimum value now, if that is what will happen.
I wonder too.
Spot on. It's embarrassing.
You have to be the biggest muppet in history if you believe Rooney has changed his mind because of any other reason other than United met his demands.
or..... Rooney saw that the entire footballing world has turned against him, heard SAF interview and the players interviews and realised what a clown he was being??
The truth is, none of us know, but only only of us is being a big fecking drama queen.
At least SAF is happy. That should offer comfort to us Rooney haters.
Because he wasnt even willing to listen to contract offers. Now a few days after it was all aired in public, he's signed a long term contract at the club.
He's been promised something he really wants. Which right now is almost certain to be a transfer to the club he has chosen. And some extra pocket money until then? Why not.
We all know his comments were bollocks before. So why there are people buying his comments now
Its hilarious. Either you think he's a liar or you dont.Kisses the badge on his chest, then hands in a transfer request.
Maybe we should stop singing that whenever Gerrard is facing us.

Different case. we had no internet back then.
Cheryl Cole lefte Ashley for you???... BRAVOOOOWell done cutch. Top marks. You do realise now that it you make a post saying anything, im going to take it as gospel that you're right. At the moment you could say Cheryl cole left ashley for you and i would have to believe you.
