In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Thanks for the kind thoughts
Yeah I know, our friend mr NZT seemed to want to though! No offence intended or taken. It’s cool I just tagged you so I wasn’t ignoring your post.

Dammit

Or as a wise man once said “FECK OFF CUP!”
Oh, and by the way, I didn't search it In Cognito. Meaning... Google now targets me with lovely, thought-provoking ads.

Going all in, I like it
I haven't been following the various different contradictions from Sport. But I do remember Luis Miguelsanz being the first to report about a fixed €80m (Inc bonuses) fee being agreed between both clubs. And the latest article being discussed from the outlet is also from him. And having read the article, he's reporting what the likes of Ducker, Whitwell and Stone have been saying. And he goes on to say that ten Hag is in contact with the player and has told the club to wait because he knows a transfer is viable.

Is there no reason we can't just pay the owed wages and then take Barca to court for owed monies?
Sorry to hear that, hope you feel better soon. FYI, with my limited understanding of contract law and working rights and what I found about Article 41, it is very unlikely, that it is usable to get rid of one specific employee. As I assumed, it is a measure to allow companies in financial problems to modify existing work contracts. I haven't found anything, that suggested, it could be used to get rid of somebody. And, again, it would be pretty easy to defend against from FDJs perspective seeing that the financial emergency can't be that existential, if there is the possibility to bring in players for substantial amounts.
Apparently, the wages aren't actually owed legally or contractually but more morally. They didn't just payed FDJ less money than it was initially agreed, they altered the contract (or made a new one) that lowered FDJs wages for a certain time while increases it for the time later.
He knows
There would be no reason that we could. They don’t owe us any money.
Yep that'll most definitely take your mind of any illness
My fevered mind putting 2&2 here, painting fantastical pictures in my head but I don’t suppose one of those women was mrs Doyle was she?!

"Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute establishes the different cases, implemented by the employer, that modify work conditions, as well as their requirements and procedures."
"It is important to note that the Worker’ Statute enables the employer to modify given aspects of work conditions on the individual level as well as on the collective level, as long as these modifications are justified by economic, technical, organizational or production reasons. The law recognizes the reasons linked to competition, productivity, or technical or labour organization."
So, the reason for modification to work conditions being the directors are a bunch of pissheads who wouldn't know financial probity from their bumholes is not covered by the legislation.

Shocker
Mental images are the worst.

@Plant0x84, get well soon chuck. We need you here for the flight-tracking! x
Not sure about this. Why would they offer him €7m if they didn't owe anything, now? I just find it a very odd thing to do. Agreeing to delay the payment could make sense, but deferring the liability just seems mental.
We won't know the truth of it, yet - will need to wait for inevitable De Jong biography in ten years time.
Genuinely no reason to apologise- I just have to keep checking because I’m telling myself that surely this saga has to end one way or the other soon. But I guess United are persisting for a reason. I’m interested for the next proper reliable update
Thanks! I’m on the mend, just needed a day off!
Why? Cause if he stays they have to pay him 30m over the next 15 months is why?
Happens all the time in football, if a top club sells a player with years to run on his deal to a lower club who can’t afford those wages, the club and player agree a settlement/severance package in order to terminate the current contract.
Yeah it isn't straightforward, no question about that. The thing is though, if this would just be a case of -company agrees wages with employee onesidedly decides not to pay it- then there is absolutely no reason for FDJ to stay at Barcelona. Because he could only sue them from whereever he is. Think, there is also a case of loyality bonus', maybe the 7 million offer is about this.
Barca fans are hilarious. Getting all excited that they can register all their shiny new players, and all the club had to do was sell off another chunk of itself. What a deal!
They’re literally paying for players with pounds of flesh.

Barca will never die. There will always be money coming from somewhere.
Narcos?
The memory fades but you never truly forget.
Forget what?
Good. You have started to bury the bad memories with drink.
Oh you know
Google always knows.
I have traumatized Google to the point where it is trying to find me a religious wife.
As I understand it they cannot simply change it for one person, if it’s salary for example it must be done consistently for the whole group with everyone in agreement
I meant to type Dalot
