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?
I made my home team Longsight Athletic, started in the BSP, gave myself a sugar daddy and 0 rep, and no starting players so I have to buy my whole team, and only shit players want to come to me. Mucho fun.
How about Notts County? you could make sven your assistant.
Heh. Is this normal? I haven't played more than a couple of seasons before with United on FM09 (just finished my third, and still interesting). Not sure why they'd say penniless, unless they'd say it if this had happened at any other point. I'm actually much better off financially than at the same time the last two seasons, probably much due to my 100k Old Trafford.
Shame that it only says that he'd step aside to another board member. Though now he's stepping down, and the current "transfer of power" could always crash and burn in favor of a filthy rich Arabian!
*fingers crossed*
Take Bradford back to the Premiership.
Please please please please please please!

Of course, for this to happen with my luck, it'd have to mean that they fire me to bring their own guy in (probably Alan Shearer).
niMic, consortims = bad, they never go OTT with money like one rich arab-esque investor
They don't need to go over the top, they just need to give me some money. It's been getting slimmer and slimmer with ol' Gill and Glazers
Besides, it'd be fun, really. I'm not only in it to get lots of money and buy everyone, it's got to stay interesting as well.
Edit: The season just got a bit more tolerable. Arsenal lost the CL final to Barcelona, and City lost the UEFA Cup final to CSKA Moscow.
Involving a former player? Brilliant, Cantona buys United!
i only buy players who are young or a very good price with super rich owner, the only problem is there getting very annoying wanting me to win champions league, minimum, i was tempted to leave not long ago to AC or real, decided against it thoughThey don't need to go over the top, they just need to give me some money.

And I was worried about missing Messi! 
Oh, and want to hear something.. erm.. interesting? Since I started my "feck it, offensive tactic against all teams, all game!" policy, I've beaten Arsenal away twice, Chelsea , Liverpool and Roma. And we're not talking a huge span of games here. I've lost once. To Newcastle. 4-0.

Yeah, i stick to the same tactics basically every game and seem to do fine. All the tinkering doesnt seem to provide consistent results, it seems that the whole "team settling into a set style" is a pretty big factor.
And in my game, Gill stepped aside around 2012 to be replaced by Bill Glazer, so I would say its fairly normal.

This isn't Bill Glazer though, and it just got worse.
They (the original, current board) just gave me a £50 million transfer budget, but put me on a transfer embargo. Oh, and the new owners said they'd appoint Javier Aguierre as manager.
I'm not quite sure what I'll do if that happens. This was supposed to be my long term United game. If I can get another fairly big job (top 4-5 in the biggest nations), I'll continue. If not, I'll reload. I don't do the whole reloading thing, not even if this had happened to any of my other games, but for the United game and the equivalent Maidenhead United game, the whole point is to stay at the club. We'll see.
Edit: Gill, that sly devil, just offered me a new 4 year contract, while he's in the process of selling the club
You were saying?
Okay, it's not a proper sugar daddy, and okay, the loans are still there, but that's going to help quite a bit. It's certainly preferable to the previous situation.
can someone who is a few years in have a look and see if jose baxter is any good?
poached him from everton, and he is killing it in the under 18's

nobody's going to bite your head off if you want to do that, but I'd leave Tevez as is and sell him for 30m+bradford it shall be then

I'm doing a game with my mates as players and letting it run. Is currently in 2019 and Baxter plays for Arsenal and is the best player by a mile. Is Englands No.1 striker.
That's still poor form.And I was worried about missing Messi!

Its what happens when you play the game for too long.
2015? I used to give up and get bored after about 3 seasons
Suppose I lack the commitment to ever be a top flight manager.I always spend ages modifying the database before playing, which usually means I can only get about 3 or 4 seasons before my save corrupts and starts crashing
Wait till then end of the month for someone to put a completed one out, then go.I always spend ages modifying the database before playing, which usually means I can only get about 3 or 4 seasons before my save corrupts and starts crashing
It's what I'm waiting for.
i wouldve done that if i was playing as united .. but in the sunderland game it was sickening to watch him play alongside rooney for united
you lost in the 4th round to Watford.Left AFC Wimbledon in 2015, made them about 12 million, under wage budget, 3 promotions,full ground every match so I ask the board to extend the ground and they agree. 3 months later the ground is upgraded by wait for it.........122 feckING SEATS
How is Sakho doing for you? I plan to buy him but he is going to cost a fortune (Juve already rejected 50m bid).
I've asked over and over for an extension but it's like talking to a brick wall.Oh yes a funny development is occuring in my game, with 8 games of the season left Man City are bottom of the premier league table.
I got him for 20m at the ripe old age of 19. He is now 20 and consistently brilliant already. Certainly worth the buy, though 50m+ is probably a bit much, you could get 2 excellent CBs for that!
If you're going to play for 5-10+ seasons, get him. Eventually he's one of the very top center backs in the world. I've got him for my United-game, and him and Evans have started displacing Ferdinand and Vidic. I'm not sure I'd get him for £50 million or more, though. I got him early on, for ~£10 million. Well, if you have a lot of money to spend and absolutely no other needs in your team, what's going to stop you? But otherwise I'd try to find a less expensive, even if a little less skilled, alternative. If he costs £50 million, you must be a bit in? There might be some very good defender-talents that have spawned already.
I am in 2014 and yeah there might be some talented regens but his statistics are awesome and he is still only 24. And I have around 160m in my disposal so it really is just a question of how far I am willing to go.
Another thing what bothers me is my seeders club situation. I canceled all ineffective cooperation with clubs like Antwerp...but when I ask the board to find a seeder club...they will come up with some shit clubs from Austria or Romania. Well I am not interested in those markets...
Emile Heskey is doing brilliantly for united
whats eeryone's career earnings? im on a goosd 4 million in my second season
You mean personal pay? I'm not sure will check when i get back from work.whats eeryone's career earnings? im on a goosd 4 million in my second season

Anyone got a record this good with a player?
2016/17 was pretty special.
Decided to feck off Bordeaux and did a International career with England... lost to Spain in the WC Semis.
