In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Or get all the bids sealed today before the markets crash if brexit happens. The markets will go crazy, and I can't see the £ avoiding a bumpy ride after.
Remain will win. Hold your nerve.
£30m is definitely worth it, though that amount in pounds might change depending on what happens today
I disagree, there are lots of stuff we could have done. We could have loaned him, given that his contract was until 2018, we could have inserted a buy-back option or a profit sharing agreement, so that any profit Fener will made if they sell/loan him before 2018 would have been divided 50/50. And so on, so on.
Martial and Hazard cancel each other out offensively, but the rest of the Chelsea lot are far more willing runners in both directions. Oscar and Costa will also make runs down the channels to work space for other or to overlap - they are a lot more mobile than Zlatan and James. Willian's pace is similar to Mhkitaryan's in some ways, but one is a freer spirit who needs licence to roam, whilst the other will do the job asked of him all game if needs be.
It's nt just Chelsea's lot are quicker as a collective, it's that they'll maintain that output, too. Zlatan and James definitely won't give you that in the second half of games and even in the first, relying on them to do it isn't the best of ideas, imo.
See above. Mkhitarayan isn't a player I'd expect or demand a shift from. He has workrate, but it's not the kind of two-way graft you want from a wide man, especially one with James and Zlatan in the middle of the pitch. He'd have to be a lot more incisive and direct than he likes to be to constantly overlap these two and be an outlet ball on the run all game long. I'd expect a lot of static football with all 3 of those players in the side.
It looks like someone drew a face on a balloon with a Sharpy then blew it up.
He's no Troy Deeney.
We didn't want him back ,so a buyback option was never on the table .
Loaning our the previous season had led to the silly situation where we were paying all his wages.
A profit sharing agreement is actually a good idea though. We did that with Bebe.
Cant believe more clubs didnt push for Greizmann
That's not an option to bring him back (if we don't want), that's a negotiation tool. Just look at Morata, there is no guarantee he will be at Real next season, but if Real does sell him for good money, those money goes to them, Juve gets a healthy profit for their troubles (buy back option is more than they've paid of course), but not a giant one. Clubs can also acquire this buy-backs for money, so in a way it's profit sharing agreement as well.
That is just another example of our stupidity in terms of transfer admin, wanting to get Rojo a very average player at all costs. Obviously with Fener who actually needed Nani and could have paid him it would have been different.
Well getting Fener to agree and Nani/his agent to agree to such clauses probably would have meant selling him for less, not like we can just stick whatever we want into contracts.
Well given that his contract was until 2018, he wanted to play and Fener was one of few if not the only club that were willing to match his salary, i'd say he did have better cards.
So we had very few cards unless we wanted to hold on to him, which it seems we did not. Basically there was one buyer is what you are saying.

Lmao signs a new contract and gets sacked months later. Must be laughing all the way to the bank, 22 million euro pay off and possibly the france job if they don't do well at the euros. Blanc's in heaven.
Win the league title in March, get fired in the Summer.
Paris are going to become Real Madrid Mk II.

Klinsmann to Southampton, wow that's random and out of the blue.
Pretty sure Woody has 4m euros stuffed in one of his jeans back pockets
I don't believe we seriously want Morata. Another case of our name being used I think.

I'm warming up to the idea of Morata. Especially if this Zlatan stuff is true.
Yeah right, as if Milan would match the wages we will pay.
Wish we weren't at all involved. Especially at that price.

Maybe I would have believed them if they said only Man City but the fact that they mentioned Bayern makes them lose the small credibility they had.
These guesswork reports are the worst. "If aliens attack the Earth, Barnsley could sign Luke Chadwick on a free."
I am a bit too, but the fee just seems way too excessive for a player who still hasn't proved himself at leading the line for a big club.
I think it stems from El Confidencial who claimed his wife is said to be unhappy in Madrid and wants back to Munich. Kroos also canceled the tenancy agreement with Alonso(who currently lives in his Villa) in May. He also still meets up with Müller and Boateng in private. So there's some stuff there to make up this rumor.
I'd be really surprised if Real were willing to let him go, but if Toni became available, we might throw our hat in.
Toni's departure is our biggest transfer feck-up in the past 20 years, and it would not be surprising if our board tried to get him back
Didn't Kroos only leave because Pep wasn't using him? So I'm pretty sure the link to City makes it more unreliable thank the link to Bayern, either way I could see Kroos going back 'home' and he'd probably be in an equally strong team to win the Champions League.
Think if we were in for him the money we would offer would be higher than Bayern, just a case of what he'd choose, money or a more likely chance of winning silverware in the short term, doubt he'd ever end up playing under Pep.

I don't understand this at all. Only a couple of months ago they had him tied up for more years and the chairman spoke of a new season under his leadership.
Utter madness.
No, quite the opposite. Kroos was Peps master pupil, and he was said to have been fuming about the departure.
