In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
You would hope the new contract includes a lot of break clauses and limits on his powers, since it isn't being negotiated by Woodward.
Don't mind the decision overall, especially as out backroom staff is not all in place.
Because he actually has friends
Good decision. It’s really good to see INEOS making some right decisions early on.
Looking forward to next year!

Blinded by bitterness and salt mate. Couldn't see that I was obviously being tongue in cheekNot sure you understood his post mate.
4th and a Europa league next season, heard it here first.
Joke of a decision.
What? I watch and support the club because I fell in love with it as a kid and enjoy the sport. I’m certainly not watching us vs. Newcastle and hoping club decision makers are reading my Redcafe posts when making decisions. Christ I’d hope they are more competent than that.
Sure fan influence matters with regards to MAJOR decisions or negligent owners a la Everton. And in that sense you do have a voice for protesting and refusing to watch/spend money on the club. But a club that makes manager/player decisions based on fan opinion (which changes with the wind) is fecking amateur hour.
I disagree they have no belief in ten hag. I think they harbour some doubts but not as significant as the relative choices.
I think a proper football club operates knowing that it's poor decision making to sack for the sake of it and dig a bigger hole from someone else whom you feel is a worse candidate.
I also know that audits can often conclude to stick with the provider you've got, so no, I am actually certain that Jordan is talking shit.
Not sure if I, as a Liverpool fan, should laugh or be worried. He certainly has flaws but some continuity may help the squad. Not too many options to choose from I guess, so next season should be interesting.
Fixed.
You seriously need a shake. None of them considered ETH because he wasn't available.
United didn't consider Slot, Kompany etc etc either. So what does that say?
Flawed reasoning.
The next few days are going to be hilarious the melt down of some of you.
Delighted with the outcome albeit not how it was done. I think next season will be a good season.
I suppose I did predict he'd stay all along. Spot on as usual.
Sensible decision from INEOS in the end. Just wish this whole “review” process wasn’t done after the season, and in public too. It undermines the manager a bit but perhaps him negotiating a new contract would balance that. Adding key players and enough squad depth this summer will be essential. Let’s see what they do now because extending Ten Hag’s contract while having close to zero depth in crucial positions will be suicidal again.
Would that be 1-4-6?
I'm going to say it again..Bruno might be sold.
Bald IS best!
A lot of ten hag outers are being sensible about the news, whilst respecting the opinions.
The usual suspects are in full on kid mode. I can't tell what I find funnier - the "il do what I want" guy or the "that guy actually has friends" guy

Mediocrity it is then.
ETH gets sacked mid-season, most likely Southgate comes in
If they're waiting for Southgate then Ineos are a joke.

Theres a difference between tactically approaching a one off cup final against City and having a general set style of play for a league campaign though, which is sort of my point. I don’t have an issue playing it tight in certain matchups against the best teams in the world. I have a serious fecking issue with being unable to dominate the relegation and bottom table sides without being comically open though.
I’d hate to see us revert back to the super deep line style we played year 1 just as I would hate even more watching us get opened up every week like this past season. There has to be a progress to his “system” where we can play a higher line and control games more without allowing the most shots in Europe and going end to end with Luton Town. Otherwise the decision INEOS made today just fecked us for another season. By all means play it a bit tighter when visiting the Emirates, but that doesn’t also mean playing Ole ball against Palace.
I don’t really care what any of them do, but you can’t hold Bayern up as some perfect club we should replicate. They go through managers almost like Chelsea recently and chose Kompany!
So another season of horror and injuries then. What an awfull decision.
I have always been ETH in but I also see the issues. I absolutely agree that our whole game needs to improve.
He can't have a season that looks anything like the season past. We need to impose ourselves in the majority of the games and be pragmatic for the top few sides.
He needs to finish top 4 and have us playing good attacking creative football. It would also be nice to have games with half hour to go and we're comfortable. Hasn't happened enough.
Exactly. Ridiculous to say he hasn't been backed.
He'll have no excuses next season. Expectations not met and he needs to be out the door.
I’m delighted with that, if anything it’s a very unglazer thing to stick with him. Don’t think fan sentiment had anything to do with it, probably a throw out idea from chancers who were telling us all he was sacked “but the fans melted SJRs marshmallow heart”.
I’m sure that all the stupid ITK tweeters who got this completely wrong, will be remembered the next time they are making click bait crap up. Or probably not, but f**k all the media sh.8t reporting he was gone just before the FA cup, heh.

Not sure you did either. He was taking a piss out of @Leftback99 .
So you genuinely believe we weren't talking to other managers?
Yeah you're not following mate, they were taking the piss out of each other and the Southgate post still works
I do love a negative freezeframe taken from a 120 minute match that was one of my best days supporting United in living memory.
Injuries, heh.
Not my preference but given some of the alternatives available I'll get behind him and hope he turns it around.
I can find a similar video clip from a 1-2 loss at home to Fulham.
And a similar video clip from a 1-3 loss at home to Brighton.
And a similar video clip from a 0-3 loss at home to Bournemouth.
Which one should I dig out?
Read the post I replied to
Absurd decision, at least it isn't Southgate I suppose. Hopefully Ten Hag can fix some of his tactical deficiencies and is kept a mile away from signings.
Makes next season another write off more than likely but we will see.

Well that's that, time to back Erik I guess.
