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?

And what is happening exactly?
What’s with the title change? Who is ringing the bell now?!
The unpredictability principle of chaos theory: Because we can never know all the initial conditions of a complex system in sufficient detail, only muppets or negative cnuts can hope to predict the ultimate fate of a complex system.
Yeah, what's with that? Nothing has happened.
So Barcelona are bankrupt and at the same time trying to sign every player on Earth.
Ergo de Jong signs for us when Laporta returns to the real world.

Automatic promotion for Alvaro please
Not sure.
What happens if FDJ asks to defer his pay cut? I think my brain is starting to melt
You are correct, legally it's not wrong.
It's also not wrong if a club is in financial trouble and come to an agreement with the players to reduce or defer wages to help save the club.
What is wrong, is for that club to then go out and splash the money on shiny new players, brought in on high wages also.
Round and round, round and round, round and round, round and round all through the town....
We've been assured by Fabrizio that something is happening
is that a 50% pay cut on the pay cut/deferred wages he's already taken?? We don't know what frenkie wants however i think his silence and that of his agent is calculating as he doesn't want to give out a hint he's willing to leave as that would weaken his stance on getting the money he's owed
Expect Ronaldo will play a significant role in the first team here
Just wait till later this evening, Romero will be on with his weekly “things are happening!” Tweet, just to confirm.
This is the type of energy I need on a Monday morning.
wtf with the title change? what's occurring?
How on earth Barca fans defending this shithousery is beyond me. Then they are arguing with united fans which is quite amusing since they don't want Frenkie and united is willing to buy. Some mental somersaults going on there.
Wasn't that over 2 years, this one is motoring along in one summer.
As others have said - it’s simply what Barcelona want. Frenkie has no obligation to do anything other than carry on the terms he’s currently on, which is why Barcelona are trying their hardest to feck him off, or if he’s going to stay, getting him to massively reduce his salary
Must be KFC night again
No, I think the original one was closed when he didn’t sign. Fairly sure a new one was opened when he did.
You are expecting to find an expert in Spanish contract law on a Man Utd forum..?
Better than Kessie/Gavi and Busquets doesnt have eternal life and he will be about their best paid player.
Any of the journos coming out with the repeated "95% done" yet?
20 minutes later : its going to be so funny when the cat falls off.This thread, man...
Anytime now..
Probability, not done.Hmm someone’s pinching my title changes. Not sure what this one is referring to?
@Solius are you using the title to refer to yourself?

2 months in and this is still being misquoted
HE's been on here for 6 years and still a newbie as well.
I think it's the players name.
Christ. Get him promoted for goodness sake.
Even if what Barca are doing is legally ok, it should be ringing major alarm bells for players.. sadly it looks like agents don't care and just want to fill their pockets.
I would never work for a company who acted like this.
It’s changed againI'm sure Barca's team of lawyers know what they're doing to keep them out of trouble. I'd agree with the moral part, but what the hell is Frenkies agent doing letting him sign a contract where this was possible in the first place? What do players pay agents for if not to protect themselves from this sort of thing?
But Kessie/Gavi are better fits in the system Xavi has implemented. Frenkie's preferred role does not actually exist within the Barcelona team and with Kessie being the shiny new toy and Gavi being part of their future they will get minutes ahead of Frenkie. Xavi has played FDJ as a reserve CB on tour and doubled down on this by essentially saying that is the role he has in mind for him which is a subtle way of letting him know that the only competition he is likely to win if he stays is most minutes spent on the bench versus Donny VDB.
