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?

Install Fergie as overlord and chief, not a single United fan will oppose that bid. SAF needs to be the face of it.
Insulting another member
You said in an earlier post that the forum is full of pricks and needs culling. To be honest mate, with your sarcastic and aggressive attitude to everyone that doesn’t share your opinion, you’re coming across as the biggest prick yourself from what I’ve read in this thread.
At this point, I'm praying for Elon to buy us honestly.
Could have called out the casual racism but didn’t want to get into an argumentThat was the part you objected to in that post?
This opinion I probably understand the least.
Qatari seem to be rehashing their 'dream bigger' advert used during the World cup. Joel and Avram will replace the children, Jim Ratcliffe will replace Khabi and Al thani will replace Neymar.
I refrained from commenting much on this issue as it’s quite sensitive given where im from and where i live but this is not true.They were picked supporeted and backed by the west i.e Great Britain and then continued by the US. Not self appointed!
Fair enough, couldn't resist a dig at Ronaldo.
Anyway I am firmly in the Ratcliffe camp personally, I don't buy into the idea that he isn't wealthy enough or able to easily obtain the necessary funds from his businesses, and at his age I believe it would be a hobby investment. The only caveat I would put is that no loans/debentures are placed against the club itself.
As for American owners - not to stereotype Americans of course - the shit show of ownership shown in the PL and the general mentality towards profits and returns turns me off. There would likely be a high risk of loans or something negative placed against the club (barring Musk). Plus I feel we need a clean break from the Glazers
I have no issues with Qatari or Saudi private buyers, but have no faith that they aren't essentially owned by the state.
Dubai is part of the UAE. Which is not Qatar
And please dont tell me Al Khalaifi and co ride camels to work?
Insanity
I wonder if there is room for those of us who are not exactly delighted at Qatari ownership but also feel that they could never walk away from United given it has been, e.g. in my case 41 years, part of your life for too long?
I respect those who will walk away and also those who don't feel they can. I personally don't feel like I can and that's all I can really say.

Guess some people love to see the club driven to the ground
I think most people are in that bucket to be honest
I don't know. Fans will be able to sing any song they want and even throw bananas to players.
There’s not wanting your club to be bought by oil and there’s wishing the worst for your club.
Why is everyone with Ole in his username a nutcase on here?
Pretty much where I’m at. I suspect I’ll lose interest over time if we operate on cheat mode though.
History is written by the winners and most of what we as individuals, think we know about history is completely wrong, the observation of England vs Britain is accurate but a lot of people, especially from abroad, don't distinguish between the two, England is Britain and vice versa
You would think so but it seems awfully black or white to a lot here.
Either you better stop supporting your favorite club or you endorse a host of societal ills with no in between
Really can't be arsed worrying about the ethics relating to any potential owner. From the point of view of attracting the best players and giving ourselves the best chance of winning trophies again, the future is looking bright. Exciting times ahead
Still feck all compared to the damage done by the Glazers. Not that any of that would happen anyway.I'm half serious here but:
=> he would sack ETH , no middle management required, Players would report to Arnold directly
=> he would make us play with 8 players on the pitch #efficiency
=> he would make players sleep in Carrington so they can show their commitment to job
=> he would be happy that players work weekends
Well he is consistently recorded by those who deal with this kind of thing as being the richest or second most richest individual in the world, he doesn't necessarily need outside help, in some cases he doesn't want to take all the risk presumably
Personally I wouldn't want him within a million miles of the club but he's also the likeliest person (along with Bezos) who could be the equivalent of a sugar daddy like Roman

I don't think the viewpoint of the 'losers' should be taken as gospel either, but I get your point.
This is hardly the place for it anyway, I think I just get annoyed about all the whataboutery when people try and discuss this stuff.
Here comes negative nancy again
Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?
Yeah me as well
Well that we don't know
I loathe Ogden. If there’s a negative angle to any story he’ll find it.
What is he saying now?
He’s the one leading the Glazers aren’t looking to sell and want to remain line.
But we know that's not true. We tried to buy every title since Fergie has went and have failed miserable, who actually cares what anyone says, they said the same crap when we were buying premier League.
Even the net spend graph didn't seem to change that same accusation that we outspent everyone.
That would be an absolute disaster.
If they weren't looking to sell then we wouldn't have this thread in the first place
That's a bit misogynistic. How about "Here comes negative Archibald again"?
Under one condition.
Harry Maguire becomes the first man in space.
Never to return.
It's really quite simple for me:
Do I condone the behaviour of the owner at the company I work for? No.
Do I want to quit my job as a result? No.
If I work for him, have I lost my morals? No.
Am I going to try and influence him to live a good life? No.
