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.
I have james rodriguez as well.
I'd be up for another league as I have spaces to fill. Would it be the same teams? How would we decide on who gets who etc.
We can think of that later. What about the rules? Any tweaks to make it more interesting otherwise it'd again be the best teams with the maximum resources doing the best. how about caps like one can only buy below a certain rating?
Maybe no limit on ratings but only a certain amount of signings per season.
All my players make extremely bad transfer choices. Its a curse. Willian, van der wiel, wellignton nem and marquinhos
A squad limit would work fine imo.
Number of signings isnt a great parameter imo. Transferring in a Zlatan = say Barkley? Not for me. Something like a cap of say 80 rating points when you buy a player would encourage identifying and getting in young talent. But almost the entire talent pool is already in the current GW, not much unexplored there either.
Anyways, lets see if there are any new ideas. The current draft has gone stale.
I'd be well up for a new league.
Chambers went up by 5. Good stuff.
Maybe a fantasy league style pick. You have 1000 points to use, 1 point = 1 SM rating for a player. Then you have to balance the books and not go for all the ubber players.
Actually, that sounds tough to calculate and work out..

If we do do a new league, after organisation, we should keep all chat to one thread. Think thats why a lot of them die off, people not posting about them.
I have a spare league from a year ago that I haven't used so if we do get enough interest I can send that over to Damien.
I'd also say we shouldn't allow transfers between unmanaged clubs in the league.
As expected, Vidic went down by 1 (thought he'd go down by 2 so relatively pleased with that, but like usual he goes down right before I have a big game). Tunnicliffe went up by 2, Perica also went up by 2, and Eriksen now can play on the wings again thanks to Sherwood's fixation with playing two strikers and him on the wing.
United were done? Excellent, they didn't touch Antonio's 92 
:edit: I spoke too soon. Down to 91 this morning

McCarthy and Stones up one as predicted. McCarthy will most likely get a concern any day now (like Pogba did when he went up to 89). That's me done in terms of the Prem review.
Nani down 1 as expected.
De Rossi's still going strong. I remember when I sold him to you there was fairly strong speculation that he'd be going down. He didn't and with how Roma are doing he won't be going down any time soon.
Lukaku's rose to a 90, which I expected. Wilshere can now play all positions behind the striker rather then just centrally.
Just a thought regarding the plans for a new league? How about it goes on nationality? So in theory you have the national teams of a country but in a domestic league.
Something to think about maybe.

Balls. Lost 4-3 to Chelsea. Not really a surprise though. Next up: Forest.
cnut of a game!
Poor result against Boro. A draw. Well, I suppose computer teams are always a 50/50. Most dropped points it looks like.
Another win for me. Got a hard run of fixtures coming up though.
Out of relegation!
For sure. Every time I'm at the top playing another team in the top four with a chance of either extending the lead or narrowing things, I seem to lose.
You've got bottlers Damien!
Cant seem to buy a result atm. Another draw. Surely kissed my CL dreams away now. Far too big a gap.
How do I score more goals?
Any thoughts on this idea?
This and lack of transfers would make it less active like the draft league.
Idea from a newbie.
Zabaleta's rose to a 92 for me Discussed it with Anderson this morning and said it was a small hope but wouldn't be shocked if he didn't budge.

Tevez would have been great for you.

Good stuff mate! Looks like my hunch for Mertesacker was wrong, SM feckers!
