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.
He's from Uruguay. Chances are he'll say something racist after we've had him a week and we'll have to ban him for half the season.
Surely you see it? Like you hit post, and immediately realised what you’d done?
Huge irony in your post.
Is this a new rule? If not, how do the Red Bull group get around it? Salzburg sold Sesko and Seiwald to Leipzig at the beginning of last season, despite both being in the Champions League.
There must be more to it. City Group and Red Bull have no issues making transfers. Think Watford and Udinese never had issues either.
My guess is we were proposing to do something ridiculously unfair to give us freedom with FFP/PSR. £40m paid across 10 years or something
It's all about expensive lawyers working the loopholes. And we're still playing catch up with things like that so haven't successfully acheived it.
The rules allowd for years multiple deals between clubs clearly owned by the same groups - City, Red Bull, Brentford, Watford / Udinese / Granada, etc.
Just as we have got into that position to benefit as well, the rules have been tweaked for teams in the same European competition. Red Bull have managed to juggle things about to still get round it, even though there's clearly ownership links between them. And no doubt City will still get round it as well.
We need to either fight our corner or just get better at working round the rules, as it's going to be tough enough for us to catch up with these teams anyway, without us being disadvantaged by being less competent at playing the system.
Could the issue be that we have people from Ineos working in management at Man Utd (Blanc interim-CEO)?
Yes it’s new. Came in end of last summer or thereabouts. Can’t sell to a club with the same ownership if you’re playing in the same European competition is the gist I believe.
'Kin hell
How do you not see the irony with what you've posted
I think it's based on the various Uruguayans who have been banned for saying something in recent years and was (hopefully) probably tongue in cheek. Chill out.
Ah, so they effectively have two years left each then. I thought it was just the one with both. Two years should hopefully get us some reasonable bids this summer.
Called a joke I think
Classic
A xenophobic, lazy joke.
That lasted long
Still completely bonkers to see this happeningthis might be the ultimate case of rewarding mediocrity that we've ever witnessed.
The manager who finished 8th last season. The manager who set new, unwanted records regularly last season. Who showed no real signs of tactics or ideas. Who allowed 30+ shots on our goal last season. Who had MANCHESTER UNITED on negative goal difference after many humiliating defeats including finishing bottom of the CL group.
This guy gets a new contract, but we want to be where Madrid are?
You just know if Real Madrid finished 8th & won the Spanish Cup their manager would no longer be there never mind getting a new contract, have Man Utd's standards slipped so much that this kind of nonsense is going on?
I think it’s funny
Red Bull use loophole in the German football rules. I think 51% or so have to be "members" so there members are 24 Red Bull employees they are not 'controlled' by Red Bull. Salzburg was restructured so they no longer have any debt to Red Bull or any Red Bull employees in their management/decision making structure. They are now for all intents and purposes just a long term sponsor (apparently...)
Difference is Real Madrid have been challenging for titles and champions leagues every season. We've not done that since Fergie has left. We are no where near where Madrid are. So we can't act like Madrid now.
Is the coming from a place of not trusting the club to replace him? AWB should be easy enough to replace. I don't think we should be holding back on letting him go.
Feck.
That's soo last year, do some dodgy swap deal that helps everyone's PSR situation!!
They're both probably staying next season. Too many other players either need to be moved on/replaced before them.
It is time for them too.
Tier 1 (di Marzio):
So, he scores one goal against Germany & now he's the best thing since sliced bread in INEOS eyes, good grief.

Yes, because that’s exactly what the tweet said.

I wouldn't try to extrapolate too much or get too emotional over Tweets.
I'm sure that they will have some clause saying if he fails to make top 4 for example, they can sack him without any compensation pay, surely?
Putting aside it’s one Twitter poster paraphrasing another (tier 1) poster, why would you think Twitter is some sort of guaranteed truth?So, he scores one goal against Germany & now he's the best thing since sliced bread in INEOS eyes, good grief.
The media haven’t pre-tweeted one major thing Ineos/SJR has done to date.
Partly as some of our players jump on any reason to seemingly down tools but I’d guess they’d also use this as a means of changing some of the terms in Ten Hags current contract. For example, a new 2+1 contract but Ten Hags weight on transfers is removed… and maybe exit clauses.
It's clearly a joke referring to Cavani's (Uruguayan) "Gracias negrito"-post thanking Wan-Bissaka for an assist back in 2021 after which he ridiculously got a 3-game ban. People get so bent out of shape over nothing. Uruguayans don't need you guys to protect them from humour.
What a shit joke.
