In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

I think Sheikh Mansour has done a grand job at City and the area, nothing seedy about it and the Geordies will be challenging for the title soon. Football is changing, i would prefer Apple but wouldn`t care if it was Dubai or Saudi, I have visited both countries and seen lot`s of people and global companies making the most of the opportunities. I`m sure Liverpool or many other clubs in the premier league would jump at the chance, i prefer someone who can not only buy the club but invest big in the stadium etc otherwise we are going to be left behind. Obviously people can have their own views and Utd fans are divided on the ownership issue but the one thing we can all agree is get rid of the Glazers and no more investors that need to borrow to buy.
This is getting tiresome. Pack it in you pear of idiots.
Do engage your brain; I have explained they could be identifiable, clearly you don't know, understand or engage in protecting identification of information/individuals.Do explain why "professor of physics" or "professor of economics" in any way makes your "friend" anymore or less identifiable?
The only people that will have any insight are those involved with bids and deals and secondly, those with access to those people - family or journalists. So, unless your colleague from your work is one of those, they just gave you an opinion, they don't know anything more than the rest of us.
The rest is speculation
I hear Gilead are making a bid...
I actually get your point. I had a mate of a mate who knew told me about the “Kent variant”’ of COVID, prior to the public knowing about it (having been told by Hancock), and I was really really careful about how I put it on the Caf, as you don’t want to doxx somebody else. . But it really doesn’t help in terms of adding weight to his comment.
Yeah, my point was more about what would attract Apple. They would need more growth than what we offer them now, the TV money boom is over - what happens next is the key thing.
Agree about the EPL.
They’d be a great buyer, they have some serious juice. When we see their plans, I’m sure any resistance to their bid might crumble.
Isnt MBS also a United fan? I could see them ditching Newcastle if they manage to get United through some other mean and then later transfer it to PIF. They would make a cool profit on Newcastle as well
Whereas I received hospital reports in February 2020 and was wearing masks. Your point is only relevant for the quality of sources, they're a professor.
Apple Trafford
Old Apple
The theatres of Apples

Why does Apple have so much cash reserve anyway?
RIP Manchester United
MBS is a season ticket holder and wears green and gold ‘till the club is sold.
FFP? United are already the richest club on earth. Without the debt and with trillionaire owners our revenue will go on signings, apple could finance infrastructure themselves.With the glazers and debt we are already the biggest spenders in world football on the transfer front. That’s with the yearly interests payment and dividends
They simply have to focus on fixing the core of the team
We do get a lot of tax breaks so i dont think interest payments and dividends expenses would magically disappear
I'm all aboard the Apple train. all other bids would crumble if they were genuinely interested.
I wonder where the VR technology is currently at, never tested a set myself, guessing developing and perfecting the technology must be quite expensive.
With regards to Apple/Amazon, it would be handy to have an iconic stadium to rebuild with the potential of this technology in mind.
The ready-made consumer base to sell the product to should also be appealing.
Reason why the government & FA will find a way to disallow it. (Assuming they try to buy us)
Im now against the apple takeover due to their spell check
Oh you mean total sale price
No, don't like them either.
Private sector means one of the private companies or businessmen? Should be noted, one of twitters biggest investors after Elon is a Saudi national.
What argument. That they may buy the team? I think it's possible. That's not really an argument unless you're looking for something to argue about.
Sorry I hadn't noticed you'd written unpopular. (McDonalds isn't unpopular, thats ridiculous). The point is that being popular alone is not enough to buy another company.
Fair enough, mistaken identity on my part. As you were.
Exactly. That's an appeal to them.
As a poster pointed out earlier, Apple paid 2.5bn for sports streaming rights. They've entered into the sports game. Buying United would be a level up. Afterall, United are in the entertainment business...that's how Apple would see it.
Yeah that's why I think it's a non starter
Not an argument as in "a heated exchange of views", an argument as in "the reasoning given in support of something".
I still don't understand. Are you demanding some sort of proof or something.
Who do you like then?! I don’t get at all what’s wrong with Apple.
I think it has something to do with not wanting to pay taxes on overseas profit by moving it back to the US
Apple is literally the best option out there. They’re richer than any oil state and don’t come with the baggage of having dodgy human rights records. I don’t get why anyone would actively be against them buying us over as unlikely as it would be.
Welcome to New Trafford, brought to you by Beats
The debt would most likely get cleared. So interest payments will obviously stop if there’s no debt.
Maybe they can repurpose the suicide nets and put them between the sticks at Old Trafford.
If by "demanding" you mean "am interested in", and by "proof" you mean "explanation", then you're right.
Would it break European British antitrust laws if iTrafford uses a special pitch that requires special boots you can only buy from the imega store?
Apple sweatshops?
