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.
Possibly. Taking back the League from Barcelona in dominating form and going far in the CL may be acceptable.
Barca had lost both the league and CL so Pep decided to step down. Zidane has just won CL for 3rd time in a row.
He won the Spanish Super Cup.
Fair enough, but the 4-peat is nigh on impossible....
Just heard about this. PfffHe will be our manager again one day. 100% sure of that.
What's the general concensus among Real fans as to who they want as manager or who they think it will be?
Yeah I count the super cups separately.
Bit strange to go at this point, but of course it's better to leave while on top. Probably he either doesn't want to rebuild the ageing squad or feels he does not have the backing this would require.
The big elephant in the room now is whether De Gea will leave to join them.
Zidane protected Navas, now he is gone, Navas would probably be axed to sign De Gea.
Oh lord.

RAWK response: This is a boss move, la. Maybe he wants to be understudy to Kloppo and replace Boobac. He can teach Jurgen how to assault players without being sent off. Then we'll be proper sorted for trophies, like.
De Gea is not leaving.
It was talked about earlier in the season. You and I both know there was a realistic chance it will happen. We just didn't want to believe it.
Thank you. I've looked for a RM forum like ours before but could never find one. Honestly never dawned on me to look at Reddit

You could find some cracking stuff in marca.com comment section but they messed up with the new layout and interface.
I wouldn't worry about that. De Gea is going nowhere.
No idea really. I hadn't thought we'd even need a new manager so soon. No clue who it'll be. What's Low up to these days? Always liked that damn ball sniffer.
Not just that, but getting in the dressing room of 3 consecutive CL winner is no easy task. I meant even the best coaches (not named Zidane) in the world can't say they know it better than these players at winning. Some of these players though may need to be replaced soon for one reason or another. Now every small change would be opposed, even it may in truth be correct decision. We know Madrid board and Perez valued players before the coach so it looks like impossible job right now.
Strange to say after the feat they just achieved in recent time but I can see Madrid going into a limbo for near future, until they completely break down this serial winning squad and start from scratch with lower expectation (not low standard though. They are the team built on super stars)

Pochettino is the one linked to the club the most there's even been reported his contract with Spurs has some sort of buyout clause if Real Madrid comes for him.
Imagine Luiz Enrique does a reverse move of his playing career
Great timing. He goes as a winner and leaves another manager to rebuild the squad. New manager will have so many problems there.
But this is not good for us. If we were interested for bale then they will not sell him before new manager comes and i doubt that he would allow bale to leave. Also de gea question is now open again

I imagine he had had enough of players and agents whining and maneuvering 2 minutes after they won the champs league.
Madrid coach has no say in transfer. Even Zidane confirmed as such, and here we're talking about a highly respected and decorated Madrid player & coach.
The problem for the next coach is to be able to tame this beast of enhanced ego of a dressing room while maintaining the sky high standard, then hoping Perez providing the right transfer dealings. Every part in this, is way too out of control of the head coach. He can't lower expectation. Keeping high standard is challenge in itself. Getting along with these players is another challenge, before thinking about integrating new players having the squad accepting these new players and new ideas...

Does this prove that he "has the minerals" more so than Lewis? At least he didn't show them as far as we know.
Oh Vato

Must feel a bit similar to our last season under Fergie. Though we knew he'd be retiring at some point we didn't expect it to happen when it did (especially with him signing Zaha in January). Was a dagger to the heart.
I mean, it's just football at the end of the day but yeah, it came as a bit of a shock. Didn't expect this at all.
He's such a baller, as a player and as a manager.
St Pep, Mou, Ancelotti et al have spent their careers chasing the CL and none had ever won it twice in a row. Zizou did some youth work, got bored, took the big job and just breezed to 3 back to back CLs. Threw in a La Liga for fun and some cups along the way and now wants a summer holiday. He does what he wants.

In english I don't know.In spanish Corazonblanco,fororealmadrid, although I just read marca and twitter
Not to mention a damn near peerless career as a player.
Big soccer real madrid section
I can see where you are coming from, but I saw someone post here (and I don't know if this is true or not) that Zidane never meant to be a manager, and that he was preparing for an admin role at Real when he was given the job after Benitez got the sack. The rest is, as they say, history.
He's won the World Cup and EC for his national team, he's won the CL for Real and now he's won three straight CL titles as a manager. Not much left to do unless he wants a crack at the World Cup with France later on.
I only ever used fororealmadrid but I suppose you'd want one in english? Then I have no idea.
I don't think that's the reason. He's probably just fearing -like some said- that the team will need some changes as most big names are growing old and he doesn't want to take that challenge of rebuilding the squad so he decided to step down fearing it can turn ugly in the next few years if he failed in doing the rebuild.
