Even though the Monaco fans apparently don't rate him?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Do we think now that United are sending out bids for the Monaco lad, we have perhaps agreed a fee for Dortmund for Sancho and the club now knows how much we have left in our budget? Or am I thinking too far fetched?

He had a presser today and faced nothing but Messi questions apparently.
He tweeted that himself?! Or is that a parody account?

It's his official account.
It could be that, or we don't have enough money for Sancho and are now going about spending what he actually have on other targets.
It sound to me that 25m euro would have been accepted before they hired Kovac.
i believe they want €30 million so we’re not a million miles away. Good prospect has all the attribute, just needs a lot of development. I’d prefer an upgrade of Lindelof right now, but I’d imagine we’re don’t have funds for such a purchase.
I think that's where the new president comes in as any president leaving debt behind is personally responsible for that debt not the club.
It was a terrible post and terribly formatted (like a few of his posts i've seen). Just noise basically, might as well have gone to the top of a mountain and shouted it out. It was partially in reply to me and I couldn't be bothered engaging with that posting style.
There is more than just Judge/Ed who deal with transfer dealings
What do you guys want?
Do you want us to focus on Sancho or do you want us to bid for other players too at the same time
You can't criticise the club for doing more than one deal at the same time and also criticise them for only negotiating for Sancho.
Yeah that is most likely to be the case
Is this allowed? Essentially two clubs chipping in for one player? After they should have had a transfer ban as well, the audacity of these feckers
You know what, I don't even care. I want to see Messi in the prem.

I assure you I am not some fickle Ole out nutter but this pathetic ownership is enough to make you feel pessimistic about the future
It is not below the asking price. A defender in his class should not be more than 30 m. But we are doing it again the wrong way. We should have waited for another club to make a bid and only then we make ours. Clubs will always want more when we start a bid.
It's City, they're allowed to do anything they want.Is this allowed? Essentially two clubs chipping in for one player? After they should have had a transfer ban as well, the audacity of these feckers
You know what, I don't even care. I want to see Messi in the prem.
Maybe it's because my club is loading up on quality as well, but I'd actually be pretty excited to see Messi in the PL even if it's on a rival team.
Trying to inject some realism into here.
We've just finished 3rd in the Prem and got into 3 semi finals, no one is happy! All I see on here is jealousy of other clubs, Ole bashing, Ed bashing, Glazer bashing. There used to be some middle ground or some positivity around here. Yet now, there is nothing but constant moaning. Too many are too focused on the past and "How great" Man utd used to be.
Manchester United used to be great. Yes. They had all the great players and hardly any teams challenged us for the title. At one time it was just us and Arsenal. Now other teams around us have caught up to our spending power and some you may argue, like yourself (Chelsea) have overtaken us.
We need, as a club, to wake up and realise that we aren't the best anymore. We don't have the pulling power that we once had. Other teams can offer more money and at the moment more chances of silverware. But that does not mean that no one will ever come to United ever again, we're still a huge draw. Just now there is other options for players who come to the Prem. We aren't the only option anymore.
The one that never ceases to amaze me is that ANY bad press about United is believed. Anything at all. When there is some good press about United. People either refuse to believe it or think it's a "Press Briefing" by Ed.
We are NEVER happy anymore and it saddens me to see this once great football fanbase turn to utter shite. Granted it's due to a lack of silverware and challenging for the title and there are genuine reasons to be upset. But don't become bitter and act jealous when you see teams around us splashing the cash. It reeks of entitlement. Just because 'We're Man Utd' doesn't mean that anyone and everyone should come here. It's arrogant. Like I said there is choice now for players.
City
Chelsea
Liverpool
Arsenal
Tottenham
Heck even Wolves and Leicester are now viable teams for players to go too.
Before it was just us and Arsenal!
We need to get behind the manager and the club, we will get better and up challenging again, but it takes time! Liverpool took 30 years to get back challenging. We need to realise it may be us in that position and we need to not become what we all took the piss out of Liverpool fans for.
Focusing on our history.
Which from a lot of posters here, we seem to be doing and becoming, clinging on to the history that "We're the great Man Utd"
We all just need to relax and enjoy the ride, nothing ever worthwhile came easy.
Thanks guys!
Empty vessel and all that.In fairness, you have gone from being extremely optimistic, posting about how confident you are that certain deals will get done, calling radio stations telling people not to worry when bad news hit, on to bombarding every thread with pessimism. This is all in the space of a couple of weeks of the transfer window being open.
I think it is based on the the reddit itk stuff that gave you an ill founded level optimism and the reality has given you a bit of a sugar crash. I'm not trying to be a dick but I think for your own well being you probably just need to take a break from transfer news an let things settle for a bit.
Barcelona consults the environment of Maxi Gómez at what price he could leave Valencia. They consider him the ideal replacement for Suárez. Several premier clubs are watching.

Was fun for 24 hours
Some good points. Of course there are a big % of United fans that the main reason for them being United fans is that they simply chose the club that was winning everything so entitlement is a huge issue.
I think fans would ask why United don't have the pulling power anymore? You say United can't pay what some other clubs can but why is that? Isn't the answer to both of those questions that the club has declined largely due to the fact it is in the hands of a set of owners whose primary objective is to profit personally from the club?
Man City are an exception, granted. Chelsea's initial burst of investment in the Abramovich era was done to simply catch up with United and it done that but United remained competitive with Chelsea over most of the next decade titles were split.
It is only down to incompetence though that Liverpool have been able to surge past United, nothing else. There are no ingredients other than smart decisions that have been the cause of that that United didn't have access to.
Other teams and clubs have risen sure, but United have undoubtedly dropped substantially in standards on and off the pitch, as evidenced by yourself and some others seemingly proudly talking about semi-finals.
Everyone is interested.
Some clubs have a chance of getting him, some do not. The latter will obviously say that they are "not interested".
It’s Sancho and a CB. Isn’t rocket science
Because reasons.
Yeah you are right I am very pessimistic about the situation because no one reliable is giving us any hints of positivity at all
Yeah of course you are excited because you have signed loads of players and he isn't joining your big city rivals.
You will also never understand what bad ownership is like we have had to put up with for these last 15 years
Regardless of realism, this is a joke to even claim this. Its fecking Messi. Every top club who even has a potential sniff of it should try. Saying "we aren't in for him" isn't some smart team building idea. It's just dumb to not even try.
Messi isn't interested.So to save face we'll brief that we're not interested in him.
I'm amazed at how many fans are accepting the Glazers covid cover for the lack of backing of Ole, and you can bet it'll be the same ones moaning about Ole's tactics and subs when we struggle for top 4 despite the fact he has nothing on the bench and will have to run the first 11 into the ground again.
It's crazy that we aren't in for him when we only have one immobile holding midfielder and he can only manage 5 games back to back before his tank is empty.
Maybe we just know he isn't interested?
"feck off Phil" comes to mind.
It is always pretty frustrating, in an ideal world we have all our transfer dealing done on the first day of the transfer window, but we appear slower then some.
We seem to go from been linked to everyone under the sun outside of the transfer window and then no one once it opens. This is probably because the risks are higher for any reputable journalist as everything is so immediate when the window opens, one wrong move and their credibility takes a hit. The club also seem to be keeping there cards close to their chest.
It fine to be pessimistic, we have some grounds to be but don't let that get to you too much. Let's see where we stand when the window closes as nothing we do meantime will influence how things will pan out.
