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?
Except that would hugely back fire since Juve can easily afford it. Their not dumb y'know.
No I was laughing because United poached him from Le Havre in first place.Yes, you offered him more wages and took him away. Now it's our turn to do the same
Yes but thats irrelevant, the poster brought it up to explain the 20% in the contract not complaining about the poaching
Sounds painful
Can Juventus really sign Higuain without the transfer of Pogba? Where does it leave them if Pogba transfer breaks down?
Some people only think to pull out because they are not pro the deal anyway. That much is obvious. They are biased. This is a rare situation and not something that would set president. But the risk is we become a club that doesn't see deals through. So we can tap Bale up all we like, but unless we are willing to use our strength we're hampering ourselves and we can all pat ourselves on the back and talk about value. Someone linked the Berbatov thread earlier and one of the first posts was some plum (no offence), moaning about paying 30 Million for a 27 year old....it's a funny world. Some people just love to moan. Not sure what they are offering the discussion.
No transfer thread will ever trump the Thiago one. Him signing that football and the excitement from the Cafe that accompanied it was amazing.
They will somehow sell him to Real Madrid but for much cheaper.
If they spent their wad before getting it, time for Woodward to turn the screw.
According to some posters they have endless amounts of money , but no they 'd be in some trouble
yeh he has taken bloody forever to get his feet wet in this saga. His word is literally the Horse
Didn't Pogba leave because he wanted to play first team football and not be Rafael's replacement in midfield?Yes, you offered him more wages and took him away. Now it's our turn to do the same
Sells on clauses are very common place. I think United have one with Zaha, so if Palace sell him United will get a cut of the transfer fee.
The Pogba situation is different because he wasn't bought from United, he was signed on a free transfer. The sell on clause is directly linked to the agent and not a club.
This would have been a key clause in Pogba's contract that Juventus agreed too.
They are duty bound to pay it if they sell Pogba and this has nothing to do with Manchester United at all.
Raiola will get a separate agent fee from United once the deal is completed.
No I don't agree. An agent not bending over to the selling club trying to get them to honour their agreement is not what I call stalling. Nor do I see any way that United are playing hardball with Raiola. We're playing hardball with Juventus, not Raiola. If Raiola figured he had the right to demand a bigger fee of United, he'd be meeting the club about it and not Juve. If anything it points to worsening relations between Juve and Pogba's camp. Your alternative scenario doesn't fit into this narrative and as such I don't consider it feasible at all. The only thing I can take away from this is that we have spectacularly differing opinions about it.
They claim so but I don't believe it for a second. Even if they could, it would be so unlike them it would be like North Korea having an open election.
We clearly do.
Jose's whiteboard comes close though. many eyes were strained that day.
Please post evidence of this - it's not that I disagree, I literally haven't seen any source say Juve are skint apart from people here.
Thats the best/most accurate way I have seen it put
Pogba is just as talented if not more talented than Bale. So whats the difference? If anything Pogba is a proven winner with 4 serie A titles under his belt by age 23. What did Bale do at the same age with Spurs?
Not sure if this gives enough colour but some info from Forbes:

Thanks!
What I said a few dozen pages ago......
CR7..
and Zidane perhaps? And Figo?
Pretty sure it's common practice to have a sell on percentage go to the agent. A team sets an overall price and a portion of that goes to the agent. Juventus are saying they want 120m after they pay off the agent, not the 120m all together like what was reported they asked for initially so that's probably where the stall comes from .
Quiet before the fireworks mate.
I bet we are letting Juve enjoy their Higuain moment before the main event tomorrow!
You may need to use some lube.
Take your time.
Don't strain too hard and something will come out.
This has been repeated a million times. When Pogba signed for Juve, a clause was agreed in his contract that Raiola would get 20% of any future transfer value.
Dude Higuain is a pretty major event.
I really want United to make a take it or leave it offer, even if it means walking away. I don't want to sign Pogba if he isn't wanting to be here.
No other club would pay this kind of fee for Pogba and we should be in the driving seat here. Even if the deal fell through I'm sure we would get over it if we signed another midfielder for 40-50m.
Andre Gomes, Renato Sanches and Pjanic have all gone for less and could have proven just as good for us. Pogba is the number one choice and I know why he is that, given his uncapped potential. But I never want to see United held to ransom by a player or agent. I'd rather take a.player striking to get a move to United. #rojoisred

Pilib de brun doing another periscope soon, if anyone on here is watching, could you let me know what he says about this deal? Thanks
Mediaset say tomorrow. Trust them.
He's like Tancredi in my opinion. An attention seeking chancer.
Link?
They're owned by the Agnellis who are worth a fortune and injected more funds this Summer. Sure they'd rather have £120m but I don't think they HAVE TO sell.
It's what they reported last night on Twitter.
Just listened to a bit:
Woodward won't let agent fee ruin the deal.
This will get done.
It's all his opinion, nothing groundbreaking
they said that yesterday
The guy has obviously decided he wants to join us and with the fee being agreed with Juve, only the agent fee left. Surely Pogba can have a word in his ear and ask him to take half the amount to get the deal done, providing Juve pay it.
