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?

Which is why exactly it’s in their own interests to find a compromise payment and shuffle him out the door
He and his soulless club really sucking the fun out of transfers
Curious: If Barcelona's wage bill restrictions only relate to registered players, can they get away with just not registering him and letting him sit there as an employee who does feck all? I doubt this would ever happen but I'm curious how they cover things like that.
People want to believe anything that fits with their personal thoughtsPeople actually believe the Chelsea link?
FDJ the gravedigger
Reacting to the news mate. Not looking good. Boehly got humiliated all summer, needs to make a statement.
Don't they just.
Seems like Chelsea are worse than us at preparing a bid, they've been preparing for over a week now. Maybe they'll move on to the counting it out soon
So his big statement would be to send a nice financial boost to the same club that's embarrassed him all summer?
Not to mention they're already well stocked in midfield as it is and seemingly have no intention to sell anyone there...
Yep and they'll do that by signing a player they don't need, from a club that has hijacked 2 players from them in the last month. Don't see it happening to be fair with you.
He's already on the books. I believe the issue is they can't register new players. They had an issue with Messi, I believe, because he was out of contract.
It’s quite telling that Romano keeps saying he has no intention of taking a pay cut. Unless Barcelona pay him his deferred wages he would be taking a pay cut to join us.
I thought that why they have the levers ? I refuse to believe a player like Lewa and his lawyers would join Barca without having a clarity on this, especially when the new players went through the situation last year.
Now I kind of want him to stay at Barcelona just to bankrupt them. We can pick him up at the auction in a year or so.
Ah, so it's not like in England where they declare each season which 25 or whatever players they will register for that season? They are permanently registered based on contract instead?
That's what I was thinking too. Like Laporta goes into a meeting with Frenkie, telling him all will be fine, then in comes Lewa and his agent and Laporta tells them it's all fine cause they're offloading Frenkie.
Or, of course, levers.
Same.
I'll be buzzing if he comes this summer, but i'll be quietly satisfied to see him at Barca next year, knowing they're having to pay him silly wages. Scum
I don’t think they can register the players because of the % of wages to turnover or something like that.
hence it doesn’t matter if they register frenkie or move him to janitorial duties as his wages will still go through the accounts. Plus Barca would look absolutely silly not registering a £70m player and let him sit there earning millions doing nothing
Shameless? asking to be paid money you were promised is shameless?
Why are you posting the Leicester manager in the FDJ thread?
Same.

Gold digger more like
It's a great summer for people in debt. I've just pledged to HSBC that I will pay my mortgage, and if they ever try to enforce it I'll call them out as being shameless.
Yeah but imagine they didn't and went tits up?
Fair enough. Kind of hope he stays with them and they can't register a new signing, would be kind of hilarious. I wonder who else they can offload besides FDJ if he sticks to his guns on this? Will be an interesting time.
Imagine being promised 17m and then being told you're a gold digger because you didn't give it up for nothing.
Clark's Dad
Bloody new Chelsea would try and hijack this!!
Oh I agree. My point wasn’t about the forums rules, it was more about peoples perception of posters because of their status.
Ill try that at Tesco later, just walk out with my shopping and scream about how its unreasonable and shameless when they expect me to pay or it
As a note, RafaelHernandez used to have anime profile pic for years and have always acted like his opinions in the world of football matter when they do not. The purpose of his tweets is to make Barca fans satisfied by making it as if their beloved club cannot do wrong. If you want to consider these tweets important or have any significant value, think again, are you really placing our hopes and dreams on a Spanish Twitter weeb?
It's Sport... until a reliable Chelsea reporter verifies or confirms it, I wouldn't worry at all
That's Maddison in the summer
One of the new breed of twitter journo's, he does actually write stuff for some papers as well i think. Wouldnt hang you're hat on what he says but have seen some of his stuff to be reliable, although that could turn out to be if you make enough guesses one will come true type of thing.
feck me De Jong
The chairman of the Dutch players union has said FifPro should get involved because Barca is blackmailing him. The funny part is that this dude is basing this of the same sources as this thread.
We really shouldn't be giving them a get out of jail free card like this.
Exactly, De Jong makea a good story at the moment and it is all jackanory.
Does anyone honestly believe that Erik ten Hag isn’t having phone conversations with Frenkie and is just telling hierarchy to continue pursuing on a whim?
