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?

If Spurs offered Eriksen to us, is it possible that they have completely played us into not being able to improve our midfield?
We’ve quite simply not done enough and we could very well have a worse season than last year.

Ole wasn't a United fan, most of our past players weren't. Somebody at our club does not have the charm to make players sign, only manage some by waving money at them.

Of course he’s comfortable— he’s a shill and I’ll have no ounce of sympathy once he falls on his own sword. The man’s counting his lucky starts that he’s actually here.
That's it then. No more signings for us.
Your argument makes no sense on any level.
And considering the time of day it is, you just know the whole Dybala clusterfeck took so much out of him that Ed just woke up this morning and thought “feck it, I can’t do another day and a half of this” and got that pathetic brief out to the journos.
I agree, we cant sell a project to save our lives. It is money and our name, if that doesnt convince you....

People accused me of being overly negative earlier in the week but this latest spate of reports proves what I was saying – we have left major amounts of squad surgery until the last minute. Don't know why I'm surprised or disappointed.
He'll get a nice big payout if he is fired. I am starting to believe that he should start integrating the kids, because I fear for them if he does go.
Feck Ed Fecking Woodeard the fecking feck face.
One of the worst, most reactionary posts in redcafe history.

That's not what a shill means.
However incompetent we seem to be I still see an improvement - I prefer us to sign well thought out players that fit, even in insufficient numbers and at a slow pace, than panic buy and give out mega contracts to random players.
How dare he can't be motivated by throwing money at him! Great job at selling this club and our project to him Ed. Also if Slabhead goes for 80, why not Eriksen, even if he's in his last year. Overpriced? Sure. But that's the state of the market these days.

He doesn’t want to join us. I’m no fan of Woodward, but that ain’t on him.

I bet Woody has a WhatsApp group with a bunch of Journos.
Pay massive wages for average players, then struggle to sell. Oh what a shame, poor Man utd and the problems they face. What the feck did they think would happen when giving out those deals and renewals!?
We bought a CB a year late and a RB seven years late. Happy as I am it wasn't great shrewd business by the club, it was fecking necessary and despite weeks of haggling we basically paid what the selling clubs reportedly wanted in the first place. I feel sorry for our defence and keeper as the way teams carve through us with ease they are going to be very busy again this season.
83 days our window has been open and we are trying to get players who have no interest in joining us unless we pay them ridiculous wages or move OT to Spain. Was Ole's transfer list written on a post it note. Ridiculous.
The club off the pitch is a bit of a joke (bar sponsorship deals) and unfortunately we are not much better on it, no one on here will change my opinion on that, although I'm awaiting the soon to arrive criticism.
If we finish higher than 6th again I will be shocked and then we have another summer to look forward to, trying to sell our project and the Europa league to players all whilst Euro 2020 goes on bang in the middle of the window. Anyway I will save my real rant for 5pm tomorrow

Something will happen between now and tomorrow and you'll all be hands on cock again.
The Dybala thing is very strange. It's very clear that Spurs can't pay him half of what United can, so it reeks of planted story in order to try and trigger something else.
Possibly his agent trying to get United to succumb and pay the extortionate fees he's asking.

He has very good United contacts despite what people seem to want to believe. He's a good honest freelance journalist who loves United. If he says he's spoken to people and this is what they told him then that's good enough for me.
People tend to reject information which doesn't fit with their perceived or desired reality and welcome in anything which supports their views - even if it's from a completely unreliable source.
We're all guilty of this as it's human nature. In psychology we call it confirmation bias.
Of course he wasn't. Everybody was gassed at the time and thought he was going to be immense at United. Arsenal fans were gutted. He was still a quality player when he came to United.
And I don't know why people keep going on about how much wages we are paying him. He replaced around £200K or whatever we were paying Mkhitaryan and we didn't have to fork out £50-60m that we would have done for a player of his calibre. So at the time, it was still a good deal.
So he keeps chasing players that don't want us and instead of looking to get players that actually do he leaves our gaping holes in the squad. Fernandes by all accounts looks like he would have been thrilled to play for us plus he had a quality season and would instantly improve our squad. Why not chase him?
I'd say this whole mess is very much on him and our board.
The scenes if after all that, all we end up with is Mandzukic??
How? We massively improved ourdefencd
Nice to see some consistency in our youth signings... Carlos Valderrama lookalikes
Can't wait for the window to close, it's getting ridiculous the shite that the media is coming out with, nothing based on anything remotely factual.
Look like our window will probably fizzle out from here. Really disappointing and barring a miracle, time for Ed to go. Too many summers like this one.
We’ve finally fixed our defence, spent more than anyone else in the window & yet people are STILL p****d off
Everyone knew the club wont be rebuilt in one window.
Everyone was excited when we signed AWB/Maguire & because we’re finally taking a stand and not signing players for the sake of it and closing down talks of players who don’t want to be here and somehow it’s Eds fault?! Jesus wept.
If we had LVG/Mou I reckon we’d have signed Dybala, who may have turned out to be disruptive and another Di Maria because he only came here for the money, if reports are to believed Ole wanting Sanchez out, just proves alongside stopping talks with players who don’t want to he here. Just highlights that we’re getting an identity back. Having players who will play through their skin for the club.
Yet because we’re not signing 4,5,6 players instead of 3 there’s a meltdown?!?!
A HUGE proportion of fans here are entitled & spoiled. I’ve said it time and time again but it’s clear as day.
Yes, it’s annoying Ed hasn’t got a DoF in. But if he had pulled off some amazing deals no one would care because the players came in. But because it looks like there’s no one else coming in, Eds now crap?!
Give me strength!
Friday can’t come soon enough, won’t have to deal with the constant moaning about how poor Ole is, how much of a yes man Ole is, how inept Woodward is & as a result wont have people moaning (like me) about the moaning.
It’s a complete Joke, throwing your toys out the pram because you didn’t get 6 new toys and only got 3. Entitled. Plain and simple.

Would be worse if we end up with that toothy scouse cnut as well. I'll take Mandzukic and if we can get Longstaff too, I'd consider that an excellent window.The scenes if after all that, all we end up with is Mandzukic??
DO. NOT. WANT. COUTINHO.
Yet our midfield is significantly weaker and our attack is equal at best.
Our midfield has gone to shit. We heavily rely on McTominay to explode this year and Pogba to stop sulking. Also if Lukaku leaves we have no proven goalscorers in our team. We pretty much rely on not conceding goals. I can't wait for that kind of football. This window has been shambles.
