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.
This surely can't be happening? Why would he want to go and play in Ligue 1 unless it is the money he's after?
There's probably something to this isn't there?
I mean if we actually refused to meet his clause I understand why. It's an insane investment for one player.
That being said, I'd rather spend that money on him than on any group of players equal to that value. We're missing a match winner.

Half a billion??? FFS!!!
I'm calling absolute bullshit on this one.
Barcelona are really in decline if Neymar leaves.
If Neymar leaves they can actually sort out their squad. As mad as it sounds, he won't be missed if they replace him well.
The half a billion will be including wages though so it's not too bad bite
btw Castles, you twat, 220 + (5 x 30) does not = 500
Like almost all south americans, if he wasn't after the money he would be playing in Brazil.
30mil net, not gross.
Castles was the one to first call PSG's interest in Fabinho and also their move for Alves. He's remarkably reliable for PSG.
No shit
It's after tax so it's more like 60 * 5
I'd be delighted to see him go if I was a Barca fan and PSG were paying his release clause. Mega money.
A lot of South American players move to Europe for money in the first place.
Some of their recent recruits haven't been great though.
I guess Messi will want a contract renewal knowing Barca will make so much money.
Jesus that is mental.
Now because it is not us paying it, I wonder how many complaints there will be about this price.
Making the HUGE assumption that this is true of course.
Half a billion with wages included over 5 yrs
Schick encounters bumps and cuts, doesn't glide very smoothly towards Juventus transfer. Player will not join Juve.
30m After tax
Wages are 60m per year?
No way
You could probably add over £100 million in signing on fees, agent fees and Neymar's dads backhand fees as well which probably pushes it close to the £500 million mark.
It's bullshit though. No club would spend that much on one player,
Neymar will be wasting his career at PSG. If Egghead is telling the truth.
I know that and read it, but still, this is a player who could get his leg broken, just like any other and never come back the same. So, so happy Woodward didn't get involved in something like this - if it's true. That could cripple any "normal" club that isn't actually owned by an oil producing country in effect. Jesus, that is extraordinary, if true.
Football has gone to an entirely new level of insanity if that's true.
They kept this very quiet if this proves to be true.
Barca's recent tranfers have probably been worse than ours before Jose, huge drop in quality.
If he wins the league and Champions League with them, it's time well spent.
£40-£50 million signing on fee for Neymar. £40-50 million agent fee. £40-£50 million consultancy fee for Neymars dad.
I've plucked those figures out of my arse, but I bet they wouldn't be that wide of the mark.
And here I thought the PL was pushing the crazy numbers.
The money will be there but who can they realistically buy this summer to make up for his loss? PSG won't sell Verratti and Dembele doesn't seem to be going anywhere this summer.
I thought his dad was his agent? No?
All this Neymar talk is boring. Let's hope we hear something about Perisic tonight.
The Champions' League, yes. Winning the league over there is the equivalent of winning a weiner-measuring contest amongst the Unsullied.*
*GoT reference.
For the benefit of our future negotiating position in other deals, we should call this off.
