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?

The way I see it is if INEOS are servicing a debt it will United who ultimately pay for it because less finances will be released
They won’t even pay in full for the club I highly doubt INEOS is taking on a reported 900m of debt for a laugh
. That's because he's not buying up the two Glazer bros.
So Ratty is buying less of the club for more. Stonks
Qatar > INEOS > status quo
We should all celebrate the Glazers leaving (and yes, a 20% equity stake with zero control is effectively the same as them fecking off). My concern is that Qatar will be free to go and purchase another club in the league instead.

Even if they’re out on the board which isn’t guaranteed if they have no controlling say it doesn’t matter. It’s ceremonial. And it isn’t now or never. If they stay on with the minority stake it’ll be so they get to freeload their way to earning more money in the future by selling after INEOS have pumped money in and their stake is worth more.
RATcliffe and his fanboys can all feck off. This is by far the worse outcome for the club.
They are definitely going to buy another team. Probably Liverpool
Massive corporation don't take debt on for a laugh you're right... They take it on for numerous benefits one of them being tax relief.
Real mature.
INEOs have been running working debt for years and years, as I've already mentioned previously they cleared out a tonne of debt in order to finance a large acquisition a few years ago.
They brought Nice with literal spare change (dividends basically), they are cash rich, asset rich with ties to numerous banks and loan options.
One thing SJR knows how to do is run a business.
United will not be harmed at all by INEOs taking on debt to buy United.
If I'm not mistaken it's because he is only buying Glazer shares including JoAM. Also iirc it was mentioned that his offer included payment in kind which could be shares given to the brothers.
I don't actually blame anyone for feeling like Qatar is the only solution in today's football world. I do blame the absolute scum over at Eastland though for this horrific mindset plaguing the game.
The main point is Ratcliffe offered to KEEP the Glazers in board (They still have their share) so that he could win the bid against Qatar. If INEOS wins, it means the Glazers remain (And this time, impossible to remove).
aka, Liverpool..
The main benefit is that INEOS, as a larger, less risky entity, would be able to borrow at lower interest rates than United.
Id definitely take their promises over the rest. I don’t think you truly realise the gravity of this situation. It’s not just about players, it’s the entire organisation, the stadium, facilities etc. There is an option here to secure the long term future of the club without any fecking debt. This other option is not good mate, there is no positive light. It’s an awful situation.
Why would the other siblings agree to that?
I want to see his vision/commitment for the club.
At this moment in time it feels like the worst possible outcome. He needs to come forward and reassure fans of his plans on both the stadium situation, commitment to transfers and debt accumulated with this bid
Did anybody see his plans for Chelsea when he bid?

So our "savior"Jassim can't even outbid Brexit Jim but he was gonna out muscle Man City and the Saudis?
Somethings not adding up.

Bored? Do you think City fans are bored? What utter nonsense.
Insulting another member
feck off, dickhead.
The Sheikh's a real united fan then.
People should calm down ffs - the Glazers haven't even accepted the bid, yet many are acting like it's a done deal.
Ah yes, because Qatari promises are iron clad...
Just like the 2022 summer world cup. Promises...
Sort of, they can't even fill out Wembley.
It's the plucky Brit mindset applied to supporting United. The mind boggles.
10 years of mediocrity was just the beginning.
I don't think anyone ever believed that was anything other than PRThe Sheikh's a real united fan then.

Because they get their money? Which is what they want.
Fantastic news if Radcliffe gets it, have been dreading the Qatari takeover for months.
It's funny which ever way you look at it.The Sheikh's a real united fan then.

Best World Cup I can remember. What are you on about?
Anything that keeps the Glazers at the club in any capacity is a shit deal. For a self confessed fan, how can Jimmy boy think that’s a good idea and not for one second think that he is going to get a lot of heat because of that decision?
Feck Qatar. I'm under no illusion that Ratcliffe is or will be perfect, but I'll take him over those cnuts every day of the week.
I mean, didn't Ratcliffe try to buy Chelsea?The Sheikh's a real united fan then.
You missed the word “summer” in that post.
