In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
Who are the 12 guys on senior wages training away from the team?
I saw some Arsenal fans claiming Chelsea will be paying for 2/3 of Sterling's wages, is that right? Are any reputable journos reporting what the split is?
Is nice to see chesea sign 11 wing players. Hope they all play in the starting eleven.
Depends what you believe, some reporters are saying half, some are saying Sterling took a wage cut and agreed to forego his Chelsea wage and Arsenal are paying him 150 a week.
I've seen it as 100%, 70%, 50% and 40%. I've also seen that he's taken a pay cut.
Who knows.
I heard they’re paying £162k of his wages, 60%
And supposedly Sancho took a huge wage cut and Chelsea paying him £120k a week.
I'd certainly take their attack over ours at the moment, I'm just a fan of having lots of options and Chelsea are spoiled for choice.
They also have enough attackers for both Chelsea and United.
sancho will be one of them in a few weeks.
That's around the range I would expect Sancho to get. The base salary I mean, there'll definitely be bonus clauses to roughly double that if he proves any good.
I’m being slightly hyperbolic to emphasize how ridiculous they’ve been run, but going into the summer they had a ton of players that have been banished into training with reserves. Kepa, Sterling, Lukaku, Casadei, Chillwell, Chalobah, Gallagher, Gabriel, Fofana. Those are just off the top of my head, I know there’s more. They were able to move a lot of them but I know they still have a handful banished, on decent wages, that weren’t moved.
Uhh great I guess
Remember how resident chelseas were telling us how he has assumed a "diminished" role 
Civil war? So dramatic!

That's why he apparently want out.
Does he want out or he wants to buy the others out
Noooo!! Boehly must stay!
EIther or, it seems.
He owns about 13% IIRC. Clearlake owns 50%. I can't imagine he'll be able to raise the dosh to buy them out.
Make it a reality series for some extra buck. The two basic requirements of entitled pricks and massive tits have been met.
only one solution, liquidate them ...
Surprising. They seemed to me to be a well organised club, with a clear vision and the right people in charge to turn that vision into reality.
I hope they split into two teams
This Chelsea sale, was probably brought in and accepted by the League to help in post Covid-19 liquidity issues.
It smells money laundering, especially with how they have conducted themselves in transfers and PSR issues.

How can this be exclusive when Bloomberg already reported this earlier .
There are two other shareholders that are presumably on his side and together they have 38%, don’t they?
I would be team Todd if I was a Chelsea fan. Eghbali has snaky vibe.
What makes you think they are "on his side"?
So boehly owns only 13% but he’s the face of the team and he sanctions all the transfers?
I don't know about this but the former is true. Maybe he's had enough of taking the flack for Chelsea's woes.
Yes all the best money laundering rackets tend to be enormously public businesses where very little actual cash is changing hands
He doesn't and hasn't for the last 4 windows, opposition fans just haven't caught up yet.
They certainly have enough players to do that!
Could this be the start of a clever ruse to get past PSR by selling the actual club to themselves!?

Doesn't that seem to be exactly the case here? Boehly isn't happy with his current level of control and involvement, and is now looking to solve the situation one way or the other. Either he sells his stake to Clearlake and walks away completely, or he buys out Clearlake to take back the control that he lost when Eghbali took over the driver's seat.
It's a known fact Boehly took on a diminished role around December 2022 - January 2023. Only now it looks like he was more or less forced into it rather than take a step back willingly.
I have a firm belief it was initially agreed between the ownership parties that Boehly would be the front man with Clearlake trusting their investment in his hands, but once Eghbali & Feliciano saw the mess Boehly was making they used their majority ownership share to take back the control and started doing things their way, which Boehly just had to accept but hasn't taken too kindly.
Sounds a bit racist if I'm honest.
Apologies to all snakes
Well, one is his business partner and mentor, the other I forgot.
That’s what I read on reddit at least.
