You realise managers aren't the ones responsible for contracts?

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?

Pereira saw ETH is coming and now he's rubbing his hand thinking he'll get a chance.
The most deluded player I've seen. More deluded than Bentdner, Balotelli and Welbeck put together.
Who can we really sell ? Every transfer rumour about outgoings seems to be loan deals which doesnt really help us and our limited budget. Other clubs exploit us every year, but we can only thank Woodward for it.
I mean…you’re saying ‘we’ and you mention Woodward yet you support Liverpool.
Didn't one of their execs literally come out and say he wasn't happy with the deal and they wouldn't be paying up as per the deal in the loan contract?
Not to say Pereira isn't possibly deluded, but I think even he knows after loan number 4/5 or whatever it is now...there's no chance.

I love it.
We appoint DoF everyone moans about Woodward taking part in negotiations.
Numerous articles come up about Woodward giving contracts left, right and centre to protect players' value - people moan about Ole.
The state of the fan base ...
Contracts were handled by Woodward/Judge.
I remember Pereira coming out and saying how he has settled and he's happy at Flamendo and maybe the clubs can find an agreement.
Aren't Flamengo broke?
Regardless of form, a Brazilian team was never going to pay the fee agreed. It’s out of their realm. I don’t know what United were smoking but they were a bit naive
I've been seeing this a fair bit but only recently. @VinzentFTW was it changed by someone after you said Liverpool were the best club in the world the other day?
Yes probably from a mod who thought he was funny. I guess it's not allowed to be unbiased on a fan forum.
You can't just ignore how shite our RB options are because we also need other players in other positions, for fecks sake saying we can have any of those 4 starting regularly at RB is like saying don't worry about another striker as we can just play Rashford there when Ronaldo is rested. We need 2 CM's, a CB, RB and Forward this summer.
He wasn't a regular starter here, just at a relegated Norwich side that was one of the worst in PL history, he's looked Championship level.

Surely one of the worst transfers in history considering the fee.
Flamengo payed much more than that for Pedro and also for Gabigol. They have the money and they could sign him if they want.
Richest club in South America. But they recently had issues with the central bank freezing their account (which has since been resolved) and used that as a convenient excuse to pull out of the Andreas deal, after he went through a period of about 4 games in a row where he single-handedly won games for Flamengo’s opponents.
It always seemed weird to me that a Brazilian team would be willing to pay "PL prices" for a player. The same money probably buys them much more if they spend it in South America.
You are correct. 2 players. With respect much better players. Brazilian teams aren’t known to spend money. Their record transfer fees paid are below. They were NEVER going to pay 15m for our lad. Look at the dates to see how often someone stretches themselves financially. Not very often
They were very chaotic until 2017. But they are controled by some people who came from the oil industry now and they make a lot of money. In 2020 they were among the 20 highest revenue in the world. This year there was a big devaluation of the brazilian currency, but in normal conditions they have a higher revenue than Aston Villa, Milan, Napoli, for example. But even now they could sign Andreas. It was decided that they would do it. But the reaction from the fanbase was very negative. They blame him for losing the Libertadores final.You are correct. 2 players. With respect much better players. Brazilian teams aren’t known to spend money. Their record transfer fees paid are below.

He didn't play well since 19-20 ? I seem to recall him scoring a lot of goals a few seasons ago - but what do I know

Ok young Robert Webb, calm down. Nobody wants you anyway.
"I wOnT TeLL YoU THiS". Nobody wants to know.
Closest I've been to thinking this won't happen. Be interesting who we move on to next as he's a pretty unique player.
Spence joining the annual wing-back turnover at Spurs would be so boring.
Well that settles that (FdJ), let’s move on to players that do want to join.
Jamie Jackson conveniently comes out with his "scoop" on FDJ right after he made that public interview.
Can we now move on.
There’s literally nothing new in what’s being said. We’ve known from the get go that he doesn’t want to leave Barcelona, it’s always been a case of Barca potentially needing to sell to balance the books and register other players. This is still as likely to happen as it was weeks ago. I’m sure ETH doesn’t want to waste any time so If he’s told it’s 100% not happening I’m sure we’ll move on rather quickly.

This is nonsense, their loans are being refinanced.
I get what you’re saying but I still think we overpriced him for that market, same as we overpriced Lingard for a loan to Newcastle. We overpriced and we lost out. They may have cash but they’re not stupid. Now he will sit on our bench, getting salary that could have been used elsewhere.
