In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Liverhampton at it again. That's Van Dijk, Lallana, Clyne, Lovren and Mané for their first team alone.
i meant his time at liverpool. 50m for 7-8 years in the first team is a good investment.
Lambert too
Didn't realise he's been injured since January.
Ah, feck him.
Ah, feck him.
Lets not be coy, this would be a very good signing for them. They've been so awful defensively for ages, this signing should address that. Unbelievable in fact if he has chosen Liverpool over genuine trophy-challengers like City or Chelsea (I doubt we were ever involved, not that that's the point).
Surely Klopp must start coming under pressure to win something if he starts making signings of this size though?

Surely the Premier League or whoever need to start looking into this, it's becoming a feeder club situation - is that allowed within the same league?
Great signing for Liverpool though - one of the very top centre backs in the Premier League for sure.
I think they will expect a cup at least. Next season will be 2 1/2 seasons and at least halfway through his contract.
Dont know if others have posted this of not but here's what sky say on it.

Well Stones was 50!
£65 million for this donkey 
.
He's a good defender but nowhere near top class.

£60 million then. It's still ridiculously over priced for the Dutch donkey. You'd be much better off buying two players for that price.Just decided to throw a random figure in there did you?
I'd be surprised if we pay more than £50m, but let's see how it pans out. Like I said in the Liverpool thread, as long as it doesn't affect our ability to sign our other top targets (fingers crossed for Keita), I couldn't care less about the fee.
With the insane money rolling into PL clubs these days, this deal will probably be considered cheap in a few seasons time.
Klopp looks like he means business this summer mate.
If the BBC can do it, so can the CafJust decided to throw a random figure in there did you?
I'm a big fan of him, and really wanted him from Celtic. Saw him and Denayer play together when they played against Aberdeen when I lived up there. Adam Rooney, who is a hefty lad, just bounced off him all game. He barely broke a sweat. He took the piss out of that league.
I'll be a bit jealous of Liverpool get him, but I wouldn't want us to pay £70m for him though. For £80m, I'd be expecting Sergio Ramos, and even then, £90m is too much to spend on a defender.
Not overly bothered about this, I'm more than happy with bailly, Rojo and lindalof (if we sign him)
Why are we hung up on the fee here?
Like we've said about our club, if we can afford it and it doesn't hinder our other targets, so what?
What we've got right now is a back and forth. He good, he's shite... Etc
I think in 12 months we'll regret this. But let's just wait and see.

Intent. If nothing else, this is possibly the biggest show of intent in the market Liverpool have shown for years. In terms of competing for a signature, it's possibly Liverpool's biggest signing since Collymore.
Eh? Feeder clubs don't usually hold the parent club to such high fees.
It's a free market...buy from whom you wish
Not arsed at all about Liverpool getting him. To be perfectly honest I don't think he's much better than Smalling or Jones so don't see much point in us spending a fortune to get him.
He'd be a fantastic signing for the Dippers and he's a much more better player the Lindelof.
Can see this being something we regret that we didn't go in for

£70 million for him? Madness
£70m? Source?
Holy shit every 10 min,amount Liverpool is paying for this guy rises for 10 mil.
90mil is way too much for him!
Why would anybody pay 110M for a defender
Utter madness
Utter madness
Regarding speculated price, Van Dijk did sign a 6-year contract last year and with the clubs interested in him he isn't going to be cheap.

120M for a dutch CB.
Ridiculous!

BS. It´s only 110. Wait. I stand corrected. 130 now.
Current first team
Nope he's 26 in a few weeks.
He's earning 1 million a week.
800,000 of that will be paid in UT coins.

Is this when we all pretend that he isn't class then?
Keane is better.
That's the spirit
FFS 150 mill for a cb. A couple years ago that would get you a peak messi. The market has gone mad.
