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?

We will, but nobody trusts the Glazers.
The second part to that tweet was "And they don't give a flying feck"
That link is to an unrelated article from 2013. What am I missing?
I was reading about shells impact on war... pasted by accident.
You had me well confused then for like 5 minutes! I scrolled through 3 times looking for the Utd reference!
What an emotional rollercoaster the last 24 hours have been.
Only if you keep following this absolute nonsense. Nobody has a clue what's going on. How could they? The Glazers certainly don't talk to any of them.
It's all complete and utter guess work.
My humble opinion is that Glaziers need to feck off. The sooner the better. People argue about who will take over, and at this point anything seem a step in the right direction.
But I think we probably need to go back to our roots. I know most fans would like us to sign Mbappe, Haaland and the next Messi (as). Truth is, we are a family club with a set of values gone straigh. I think Ole did a lot of good linking up the academy and our DNA, and I think ETH has picked up on that notion and lifted our stature and level.
Some time is needed building us back on top, and quick fix fans and board is not in our interest. We are not far away from being there, but we need a strong full squad, and ranks that can push through.
Being a bit negative, a quick Arabic oil influence is not what we need. Radcliffe would be perfect. But then again, look at how methodical Newcastle have been. We need to be patient and actually trust our manager. And with some luck, trust our new owners. It is so difficult to know what is right before some long term plan is laid out.

It's almost like journalists know what they are doing
What with this and SUCCESSION I think my mind's gonna explode....
Press having a field day with this.
Tomorrow - Glazers could stay
Next day - Glazers could sell
Rinse, repeat, bring on the 28th.

Yeah I agree with this, there's a lot of people on here who (somewhat understandably) are very pessimistic and any rumblings thay the Glazers might stay are taken as gospel. These takeovers take time, and in the absence of news for a while people shouldn't just let any news that fills the void be taken as truth
So Ben Jacobs, Jackson and Keegan are saying full sale more likely.
Ogden saying partial.
Let's all pray it's the former.

You do know I agree with you right !
Haha I might have misread the tone...we're on the right side of this one my friend!

ESPN (Ogden) have been pessimistic about the chances of a full sale throughout. The Daily Mail (Keegan) have bullish about a Qatari takeover throughout. We know that parties involved in the bidding have hired PR firms to act for them. It is not difficult to guess what is going on here and who is speaking to whom.
Neither Keegan nor Ogden have a clue what is actually likely to happen here. They are both reliably reporting what they are being told, as anyone would do in their position.
Tampa.
Americans are parochial as they come. You can bet 96% of Americans dont even know the Glazers own Manchester United. If the same shit was done in their own backyard.... the level of embarrassment would not be tolerated by the Glazers there. They would have checked out 5 years ago.
Imagine living with the knowledge that you’re absolutely despised by the vast majority of the fans of the club you own, and it being water off a duck’s bollocks. They really couldn’t care less about how they’re perceived.
They can’t buy their siblings out because that would Cost £2.4bn which they don’t have, so if partnered with Carlyle VC and they bought them out at £2.4.bn then relished the shares, no way VC accepts 45/49% of voting shares when they just paid top dollar for 67% of the Glazer Sibling Shares. Joel and Avram own 33% of the 69% voting shares. A Vc is not creating a new inner circle, buying out 4 siblings majority voting shares then accepting a minority in a restructure to let two imbeciles who took control in 2014 after their fathers death and then escalated the clubs demise in last decade!
Then finance another £2bn with the premise they will get their money back from the clubs huge growth overseen by two of the worst Exec operators in football.
It shouldn’t happen, ever, if it does they won’t last more than 6 months!
It's insane, so many other ways to make money, be involved with sport, etc.. etc.... they are insane.
I second this..it's solid..best news channel in TV and unbiased.Nothing wrong with CBBC Newsround. It’s been going for years and is an institution!!
Well, some people dont care about being liked by the general/anonymous population-- maybe only by close friends and family? Besides owners are rarely popular .
As in the immortal words spoken by a wise man: You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain

Just listen to him(on the minority buyout) before you say he's clueless and then have your say
Surprise, surprise, vampires can't stop being vampires... I said weeks ago they were taking the piss
'Glazers confident of Man Utd stay'
The Glazers are increasingly confident of securing the outside investment that will enable them to remain as Manchester United owners, ESPN are reporting.
According to the report, Joel and Avram Glazer believe the potential for organic growth over the next decade could see the club's value double and make United worth at least £10bn.
Shares of Manchester United PLC fell 13 per cent on Monday following the report.
The giant American financial investor Carlyle is in talks about a major investment in the club.
Sky News reported that Carlyle is among a handful of parties that have pitched proposals to acquire a minority stake in the Old Trafford outfit.
A bid deadline of April 28 has been set by The Raine Group, the merchant bank handling the sale, and which oversaw last year's £2.5bn takeover of Chelsea by a consortium led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.

or in some cases "virtual cnuts"
Don't waste your breath mate.
Your scenerio isthe reason why Jassi is confident. If keyboard warriors can figure it out...
So are they selling?
Yes. No doubt.
I've listened. What exactly am I missing here? He's a fan, like you and I. He has zero sources or connections to the club. And he still lives with his mum.
I’m not saying he has major sources in high places but he does have at least some connections in the club. He often calls exact announcement times hours in advance and has some useful transfer related stuff. I’m guessing he has contacts maybe in the marketing team. Probably not as much use for the takeover but I don’t think it’s fair to say he has no sources at all.
If the Glazers stay, what do you think the actual fans's response at Manchester would be? They did protest before, didn't seem to change anything.
