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.
As I've said, look backwards all you want, even if the claim is false. Spurs are looking forward.
What will the meltdown be like when Potchetinno is gone next year? He will be favourite for both Barca and Real Madrid and those jobs could be available next year. Also don't give me that about bull about new contract. Contracts mean very little to Madrid or Barca. It is also Potchetinnos dream to get one of the big jobs.
Ahh yeah, just read through the quotes and its a bit of a yes we're interested but we are interested in a lot of players answer, he does state pretty clearly you will be going for a striker though which I guess is important at this point. I have never seen him play either as no interest in French football. Witsel has always been great whenever ive seen him.
Was thinking the same thing. Real Madrid will get sick of Zidane soon enough if they don't win the title or CL. Surely Poch won't say no to them?
Just wishful thinking.
Pochettino is special for Spurs, his post match interview tonight was great, he knows what he's doing with this group and I don't think he'll be off any time soon.
Witsel would be quite a catch, with CL football secured and the Belgian boys at the club we may just pull this one off, especially as he's confirmed to be leaving Zenit.
Batshuayi seems for some reason to have an air of inevitability about it.
Precisely. It was one of the most comfortably managed title wins, for Leicester. Spurs never threatened to match them, let alone overtake
It's not wishful thinking. His dream has been always to manage one of the big clubs in Spain. It's wishful thinking that you think he'd be at Spurs for a long time.
Keep wishing.
Tottenham has done a fantastic season , at least for me it is refreshing to see different teams fighting for the league.
These seasons usually mean a turning point in the teams , hopefully for Tottenham will be the confirmation that can fight for everything in the future, all based in a good club structure, a work that began some time ago and starts to bear fruit now. However I think they are right on Pochettino . I am sure that his work has not gone unnoticed in Madrid. Young, knows la liga, speaks Spanish , is very good with young people and knows how to be tough when necessary, also is a product of Espanyol and has always sympathized with Real Madrid . He's probably in all the pools in the near future.
The FA will deduct points from sp*rs and cause them to finish below Arsenal.
That's how it should play out...just like 1991 except that we won the league after getting docked 2 points for our lair-up with Man Utd.

I have never seen a Spurs side acting so thuggish collectively. No matter what you say but the title push (which was never really close) got to them. I don't think this is how your players are or will be. It is simply that you came so close to the top prize which made them react like this.It's a derby, not sure what people expected, we don't like each other. In a title race or not I don't think this group will be shirking many confrontations. I'm loving the fact that everybody is not liking us, it's usually the domain of the London clubs to passionately hate Spurs, if everybody else wants to join in so much the merrier
Next year will be perhaps the most interesting PL. So many teams who will be fighting for the top 6. I have always maintained that the acid test for Spurs will be next year as this one has been an anomaly which ideally won't be repeated again soon.
So, you're saying Spurs will finish ahead of Manchester United next season?
Given what you've said above, would it be an embarrassment and a calamity for Spurs to finish behind Manchester United next season?
It is cute when fans of teams like Spurs get arrogant before actually achieving anything. I can understand the desperation and need in all non-United fans of EPL teams to be as arrogant as United fans have been for last two decades plus, but our team gave us reasons more than one can imagine and hope for, for that. First let your team achieve something, let alone dream of dominance.
Chance of a lifetime blown for Spurs, next season it will be back to normal.
After seeing Spurs' vile antics last night I couldn't be happier that they lost the title.
Just seen the reaction from Jamie Vardy's house party. Yeah, they're quite happy. 
it was a bold strategy. i think they were trying to lull chelsea into a false sense of security by going down to 8 men then blitzing them when they took their foot off the pedal. unfortunately clattenburg wasn't let in on the plan and kept them at 11, scuppering any hopes they had of a win.
I think that was the disappointing part yesterday, after all of Spurs positives this season, they end the season like that. Not sure what got in to some players, like Dembele. There's having a bit of grit and determination, like Atleti seem to show and then there's just being sunday league. When your reserve keeper is getting involved, it's shocking.
Anywayyy, it's been a good season for Spurs overall and there's been lots of positives. I feel as though some of the players listened to the hype they've been getting and forgot that winning matches is what wins you the league. I'm sure Poch will sit some of those players down and smack that out of them. Will be interesting to see who he gets in next season. they'll have to be good to continue the upward trend they're on. Looking forward to going at them again next season!

Yes - right now I'd predict next season's top 4 (in no particular order) as City, Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool. But I may revise this prediction as the transfer window draws to a close, depending on player ins and outs at various clubs.
Why would Pochetino join the likes of Barca and Madrid, when he has a special group of players in the mighty Spurs?
Your prediction would be sensible based on facts as they exist. However, any prediction made right now is meaningless as a lot depends on what happens between now and mid/end of August.
What's the point in speculating about his longer-term future when he's just signed a new 5 year contract with Spurs?
Because when Bale did the same thing, year later he signed for Real Madrid. There's a trend suggesting that Pochettino will leave you next year.
Aside from Liverpool. That's entirely based on assumption of improvement and ignoring the likelihood of improvement by Utd and Chelsea.
Glaston gets a hard time from a lot of you
He usually defends himself and spurs in a respectful manner with the odd snide remark, usually as a result of being abused
A lot of you sound like disgruntled Utd fans who cant accept a club we used to be significantly better than has for the time being surpassed us

You're cute.Top 4 next season will be City, United, Chelsea and Arsenal with Liverpool and Everton sneaking into EL places after fighting off West Ham, Southampton and Leicester.
Anyway, great season for Spurs and I think something they can definitely build on whereas I expect Leicester to fall away.
They've got a great manager and a hungry young squad. Will be interested to see who they add to it with during the summer and then I might even take a little flutter on them winning it next season.

I think he'd knock back real and barca for a good while yet. There, he'd be just another manager through the revolving door.
Whatever he achieves at spurs will undeniably have his stamp all over it. Frankly it is a more exciting project right now.

I'm not sure about Chelsea, we might be about to find out if Abramovich has the heart for it anymore. He is becoming (in relative terms) increasingly asset rich and cash poor. They already owe him £1 billion and I think he might have had enough of spending and thinks it's about time some youth players come through.
He's generally a terrible poster.
It says a lot that quite a few here are doing a lot worse than him in this thread.
He comes across as everything but respectful. He's just a WUM. His response to title loss yesterday was 'United are shit'.
What was your prediction this season?
Leicester winning the league with Spurs coming second and Arsenal third.
The difference is that Pochettino has said he wants to build a Fergie-style dynasty at Spurs and believes he can take us into the first season in our new stadium as league champions.
I detect desperation from some posters, eager to predict the departure of Pochettino, Kane, Alli and others. But instead we'll be back next season with an even stronger squad.
They're unlikely to be any worse. Even if Abramovich doesn't want to spend his own money they're pretty self sufficient now anyway.
You can't laugh at his predictions based on the present situations yet somehow out of nowhere suggest that both Chelsea (drastically) and United will improve themselves in such a manner that they'll be top 4 certainties next season, because that's also based on nothing.
Top 4 next season will be City, United, Chelsea and Arsenal with Liverpool and Everton sneaking into EL places after fighting off West Ham, Southampton and Leicester.
You don't know what the transfer market will bring, you don't know how your coaching situation will look like in August, so it's basically just all speculation. In the here-and-now, the top 4 will be unchanged next season because no team outside of it is good enough right now to sneak in. And yes, you can be 99% certain it will be different after the transfer window but you can't just guess United and Chelsea will replace Leicester and Spurs because they're the richest teams or whatever grounds you're basing your prediction on.
You must be pretty good at detecting desperation as you're desperate to predict our downfall.
I'm not predicting anything, I'm just telling what is likely to happen from the trends, your beloved ones.
Dark times has come if United fans are desperate out of envy towards Tottenham. I think it's the worst period in United history.
It's never in a respectful manner. You'd struggle to find many posts where he defends Spurs without a puerile dig at Utd. He gets the responses he provokes and desires.
