Outlines

00:00

๐Ÿ˜Š Ten Hag discusses contract extension

Ten Hag says he has discussed many subjects with the club, including personal details, but won't share specifics. He emphasizes focusing on the club's targets over individual interests. There's speculation around a new contract, but no confirmation yet.

05:01

๐Ÿ˜• Media links other managers to United

An article claims United has a shortlist of managers to potentially replace Ten Hag, including Thomas Tuchel. Mark sees issues with the linked managers and doesn't feel a strong preference for any. The cycle of manager turnover feels monotonous.

10:02

๐Ÿ˜ž Latest on Rashford absence

Details emerge confirming Rashford was out in Manchester Wednesday night and then in Belfast Thursday night into Friday morning, missing training. Mark discusses the rules and standards players should adhere to, as illnesses have impacted the squad's availability.

15:03

โ“ Speculating on response to Rashford

Mark notes Ten Hag has already publicly criticized Rashford for being out after a match this season. He expects Ten Hag will have to address Rashford's night out before training. There's uncertainty around how Rashford will respond on the pitch.

20:05

๐Ÿ‘ CEO emphasizes sensible transfers

New CEO Richard Arnold highlights the need to have a strong rationale for every part of a transfer deal. Overpaying creates issues for future deals. Mark sees this as common sense and what the community has said for years.

25:05

๐Ÿ˜ฅ Poor deals have big hidden costs

Mark estimates bad deals have cost United tens of millions per year in wasted funds. The overpayment impacts financial fair play for years. Sorting transfers is like open heart surgery and United doesn't have the precision.

Keywords

๐Ÿ’กnews

The video is focused on providing the latest Manchester United news and transfer updates. News refers to new information and developments related to the football club. For example, the host talks about manager Eric ten Hag's comments on his contract, new player Omar Barad's interview, and the ongoing issue with Marcus Rashford missing training.

๐Ÿ’กtransfers

An important theme in the video is player transfers - buying, selling or loaning players between clubs. Good transfers are vital for a club's success. The host cites Barad emphasizing the need for a strong rationale when making transfer decisions to avoid overpaying and harming future deals.

๐Ÿ’กcontract

Ten Hag currently has 18 months left on his Manchester United manager contract. The video discusses if and when he might get a contract extension based on the team's results in upcoming games. Contracts impact a club's future planning and continuity.

๐Ÿ’กoverpaying

The video highlights Manchester United's history of overpaying on transfer fees, wages, and agent commissions while buying players. This overspending causes problems in negotiating future deals. The host agrees with Barad that United desperately needs to stop overpaying.

๐Ÿ’กillness

Rashford missing training is cited as illness-related. The video makes the point that players need to be more careful to avoid picking up illnesses that reduce availability. Ten Hag had described Rashford's and Varane's earlier absences also as illness-related.

๐Ÿ’กunacceptable

Ten Hag has directly used the word "unacceptable" regarding Rashford being out the night after a game earlier this season. The host reiterates that Rashford now missing training after a night out is unacceptable per Ten Hag's stance and deserves action.

๐Ÿ’กconsistency

The video emphasizes consistency in performance and availability as an important requirement for Manchester United players that has been lacking. Rashford needs to back up his criticism-silencing goal last game with consistent good shows.

๐Ÿ’กsnowball effect

Overpaying for one player deal makes the benchmarks unrealistic for future deals, compounding overpayment - described as the snowball effect. For example, Pogba's deal with high fees led to continually inflated deals for Maguire, Wan-Bissaka, etc.

๐Ÿ’กhemorrhaging

The host metaphorically accuses the club of carelessly hemorrhaging or bleeding out large sums of money through its poor overpriced transfers, wages and commissions - highlighting the need for prudent strategic spending.

๐Ÿ’กresponse

The video ends stating that Ten Hag and Rashford both now need to publicly respond to this disciplinary issue around the missed training, given Ten Hag's strong stance earlier on a similar night out.

play00:48

play00:53

it's the best news show it's uh it's the

play00:55

best because of you and uh we've got

play00:57

loads to get into I'm a little bit early

play00:59

this morning Adrian because I'm off to

play01:00

watch Seb play football uh my little

play01:02

Harry MaGuire number five so um he's

play01:04

play01:06

play01:09

yeah off to watch him down the road

play01:10

which would be good um looking forward

play01:12

to that um but look let's get into uh

play01:14

the the the United news and um look uh

play01:17

there's a few places I want to talk talk

play01:19

about I really like this quote from Omar

play01:21

barard by the way because I think it's

play01:23

not rocket science but it's something

play01:24

that United need to do you know I was

play01:26

listening to Roy Keane the other day

play01:28

talking in an interview about advice

play01:30

he'd give to um players and it was like

play01:33

control pass move and you know what I

play01:35

watch a lot of football I watch High

play01:37

high-end football I watch amateur

play01:38

football and the amount of players that

play01:40

just don't do this you know the mbappe

play01:42

project I've got to take loads of

play01:43

players on it's infuriating at an

play01:45

amateur level to watch you know um

play01:47

youngsters play football and they're

play01:49

just obsessed with mbappe and scoring

play01:51

goals and everything like that and you

play01:52

just think you know control pass move

play01:54

it's so bloody simple and there are so

play01:56

many Implement there are so many um um

play01:59

things about football that are very very

play02:01

simple and what barard says about

play02:02

transfers well I'll just I'll read it

play02:04

you because we're GNA go we're going to

play02:06

go to it in a little moment but well

play02:08

I'll read I won't read you the quote

play02:09

we'll go to it in a middle moment but

play02:10

he's basically talking about how you

play02:12

have to get the transfer right you have

play02:14

to get the first transfer rights because

play02:15

if you get it wrong if there's any

play02:17

element of a transfer that's wrong wages

play02:19

fee agent fee you're going to get done

play02:22

on the next transfer and the next

play02:23

transfer in the next transfer and it's

play02:24

so it's you know we've been talking

play02:26

about it for years it's so so obvious um

play02:28

anyway look let's talk about 10 and the

play02:30

reason ten hog has been talking about

play02:31

his contract he hasn't woken up and just

play02:33

gone hello I want a new contract of

play02:35

course he did a press conference on

play02:37

Friday uh We've not had a game for so

play02:39

long that we forget how this works so uh

play02:41

the press conference is split into two

play02:43

there's an embargoed bit that comes out

play02:44

at half 10 the night before Man United

play02:46

play so halfast 10 last night some

play02:48

quotes came out from the Eric tenh har

play02:50

press conference that didn't come out on

play02:51

Friday and uh he's been talking about

play02:53

his contract now he's got 18 months left

play02:55

on his contract now this is why I think

play02:57

some ten hog outters get excited as well

play02:59

because they're going going oh well look

play03:00

he's only got 18 months left on his

play03:02

contract um what a good time to get rid

play03:04

of him get rid of him in the summer you

play03:06

can't let him go into the final year of

play03:07

his deal without giving him a new

play03:08

contract so I agree about this a

play03:09

decision has to be made about Eric tenh

play03:12

har by the summer one way or another

play03:14

even if he was doing well they'd have to

play03:16

make a decision because you know his

play03:17

contract's going to run out so this is

play03:19

what Eric tenh har had to say um on

play03:21

having 18 months left on his contract

play03:24

and if and if he's considering a new one

play03:25

he said we've speak we've spoken about

play03:27

many many subjects but I can't go into

play03:29

detail on any subject especially when

play03:32

it's going into my personal details at

play03:34

the club but first and foremost uh the

play03:36

most important thing that is that it's

play03:38

about the club um it's about the club

play03:40

it's about the team and we have to work

play03:42

there on the highest standards to

play03:44

achieve our targets it's not about any

play03:46

individual person um asked if he's got

play03:48

to prove himself to inos he said look uh

play03:51

when you in top football I think you

play03:52

will know you have to prove yourself

play03:54

every single day and so that counts for

play03:56

everyone here working for this football

play03:58

club um look is he going to get a new

play04:00

contract absolutely breaking news nobody

play04:03

knows it's breaking news even Lori

play04:05

Whitwell doesn't know this fabito

play04:06

doesn't know this Simon Stone doesn't

play04:08

know this nobody knows this um he was

play04:11

quite close to a contract at the start

play04:13

of the season um that's well known in

play04:15

the industry ten hog was very close to

play04:18

getting a new contract at the start of

play04:19

the season and I don't think anybody

play04:20

would have opposed it then um I don't

play04:23

know why it didn't progress I don't know

play04:25

whether it was because of the sale um I

play04:28

mean I can't imagine inos or Qatar

play04:30

saying don't give him a new contract at

play04:32

the start of the season because you know

play04:34

ten hog was ball was bouncing High then

play04:37

um maybe the glazers just didn't want to

play04:39

spend any money when they were trying to

play04:40

sell the club I don't know but um where

play04:42

we are at the moment that contract isn't

play04:45

something that's and United do sometimes

play04:48

sit on contracts and they wait for a

play04:49

good time to announce it we've had it in

play04:51

the past with certain players that we

play04:52

know they've got a contract and they

play04:53

wait until they start scoring so you

play04:55

know I wouldn't rule out that ten Hog's

play04:57

got one but I don't think he has I think

play04:59

I think that this is very much a wait

play05:01

and see AJ says what about

play05:05

Javi Javy can't deal with the pressure

play05:08

of Barcelona by the sounds of it I don't

play05:09

think he can deal with the pressure of

play05:10

Manchester United klopp's never going to

play05:12

come um I suppose this feeds into nicely

play05:16

just on this I'll I'll segue in what I

play05:17

was going to talk about last night um

play05:19

because it works quite well and then we

play05:20

can talk about rashford and barard and

play05:22

the the new stories there but basically

play05:24

there was an article in the tgraph

play05:26

tgraph telegraph Telegraph T Terry graph

play05:30

Terry's graph tell's graph T graph um

play05:35

just say can I just say as well um you

play05:38

know I think I'm safe to say this with

play05:39

you lot because you do have a sense of

play05:41

humor the title of the show today is ten

play05:43

hog talks new deal that's fine we're

play05:46

talking about what ten hog said he was

play05:47

speaking about a new deal no one can say

play05:49

clickbait um rashford headache continues

play05:53

he's not still hung over as someone said

play05:55

in the chat I mean what that means is

play05:57

the rashford headache Contin news the

play06:00

drama um somebody in the chat before we

play06:02

went live said said he can't still be

play06:04

hung over um that no nobody knows if he

play06:06

was hung over so the rashford headache

play06:08

thing I don't want to get in trouble for

play06:10

spreading malicious rumors or anything

play06:12

like that um which we didn't do in the

play06:14

first place so the rashford headache

play06:16

continues is more you know the whole

play06:20

another player missing training etc etc

play06:23

um anyway back to what I was talking

play06:25

about there was an article in the

play06:27

telegraph where um somebody just said is

play06:30

this AI generated it feels like AI

play06:32

Bridge getting his words wrong actually

play06:34

um but yeah what was we going to talk

play06:36

about and I meant to talk about this

play06:37

last night is that there was an article

play06:38

in the telegraph with Matt Law who's a

play06:40

pretty decent journalist saying that man

play06:41

united have a thre man short list for

play06:44

the Manchester United job which is the

play06:46

Zerby gram Potter and uh Thomas tuel um

play06:52

I throw that out to you um it's not from

play06:55

the club it's not from a source it's

play06:57

from the telegraph in the UK UK which is

play07:00

a decent Outlet um from a decent

play07:02

journalist saying that United

play07:03

shortlisted der Zerby tuel and um Gran

play07:07

Potter what I would say about those

play07:08

straight away is um I don't think

play07:11

Barcelona are going to be looking at any

play07:12

of those managers so Javi leaving

play07:14

Barcelona shouldn't make us go we

play07:16

need to sack ten hog uh do Liverpool

play07:19

look at any of those managers I don't

play07:21

think Liverpool will go for a German

play07:23

coach again straight after klopp and I

play07:25

don't think they'd go for Tel um they

play07:27

might go for derer but I don't think

play07:29

they would so look those three managers

play07:31

for me are not managers that are going

play07:33

to be going to Liverpool or Barcelona so

play07:35

we don't need to massively Rush um my

play07:38

concern is are they the sort of managers

play07:39

that you want at Manchester United I've

play07:41

spoken about gr Potter I think he's a

play07:42

good coach but I don't think he's a man

play07:44

United coach uh derer I have concerns

play07:47

about Derby I was talking about this on

play07:48

that's football yesterday about a

play07:50

replacement for klopp the thing about

play07:51

Derby is he's openly said he's not

play07:53

really involved in transfers the players

play07:55

are given to him and Brighton's not

play07:57

Manchester United or Liverpool so you

play07:59

know is desery just another hipster

play08:01

that's you know you know look at what

play08:02

happened to Potter when he went to

play08:04

Chelsea and then finally Thomas tal well

play08:06

Thomas tal is is a good coach but I'm a

play08:10

bit uncomfortable with that because it's

play08:11

another ex Chelsea coach and that's not

play08:13

gone well for us either so I personally

play08:16

don't massively jump jump to the tune of

play08:18

any of those coaches really I mean I

play08:20

know a lot of you will because it's

play08:22

better than what we have at the moment

play08:23

but there's not you know when when vanal

play08:27

when vanal was here and Mourinho was

play08:28

available I was like you've got to do

play08:30

that deal um you know I wanted tenh har

play08:33

over poch um you know I even wanted

play08:36

vanal after Moyes but I don't really

play08:39

warm to any manager at the moment I it's

play08:42

not you know I'm ten hog in that

play08:44

probably you know um blinds me a little

play08:48

bit but I don't maybe just maybe it's

play08:51

just the monotony of the cycle that you

play08:53

know you feel like a bloody trainer

play08:55

that's been left in the washing machine

play08:56

don't you just banging the sides going

play08:58

round and round and round I don't really

play09:00

have this opinion anymore that a manager

play09:03

is going to revolutionize Manchester

play09:04

United I think I did with ten hog I

play09:06

think I did with Mourinho but I think

play09:09

we've done it so many times now I'm not

play09:12

I think we've done every type of manager

play09:13

the experienced manager the Hipster

play09:15

manager the young manager I just don't

play09:17

really feel that I think we need to sort

play09:19

everything out above the manager right

play09:21

now that's what we need to do and

play09:24

uh I'm really hoping that the team

play09:26

starting from today is going to start

play09:28

kicking on now we've got some big

play09:29

players back I'm hoping that we're going

play09:31

to see casmiro Martinez and and a system

play09:33

and a structure that works well and

play09:35

actually you know dare I say it looking

play09:39

at the chat you know a lot of us don't

play09:41

think momy should be starting some of

play09:44

you don't think rashford should be

play09:45

starting the starting 11 today won't

play09:47

have rashford in it and might not even

play09:49

have mctom in it we might actually see

play09:51

an 11 that is um binda Delo Waka veran

play09:57

Martinez Shaw Mayu casmiro Bruno

play10:02

gacho holand and either Anthony or ammad

play10:05

you know it might actually be quite easy

play10:07

on the eye today I mean I'm sure he'll

play10:09

make a few changes we might see Maguire

play10:10

start we might see momy start but uh you

play10:13

know it's an opportunity to if I was ten

play10:15

hog I'd put my best team out for an hour

play10:17

if I was ten hog today I'd put my best

play10:19

team out for an hour because it's the

play10:20

best way to deal with any of the

play10:21

negativity and the uncertainty it's

play10:23

almost like we've had a bit of a

play10:23

mid-season break isn't it um but yeah

play10:26

look uh on on Eric ten hog the contract

play10:29

obviously is there to be discussed um

play10:32

but I think it will come down to what

play10:34

happens with uh results over the next

play10:36

few weeks I want to talk about what

play10:37

barad has said but let me just give you

play10:39

the latest on Marcus rashford a big big

play10:41

video we were live last night when this

play10:43

came out that Lori Whitwell in the

play10:44

athletic and his colleagues had

play10:46

confirmed that Marcus rashford was out

play10:48

on Thursday night he wasn't out on

play10:49

Wednesday night uh Manchester United

play10:51

obviously had training at carington on

play10:53

Friday morning and Marcus rashford was

play10:55

in a Belfast nightclub in the early

play10:57

hours of that morning so you know not

play10:59

acceptable um I just want to say on this

play11:02

um really really obvious Point here when

play11:06

I saw Eric tenh hard's press conference

play11:08

on Friday and he said that Marcus

play11:11

rashford and Johnny Evans were ill I

play11:14

take that on safe safe value that

play11:15

they're ill and I automatically think

play11:18

you know January in the UK it's probably

play11:21

a chest infection or a cold or some sort

play11:23

of you know that sort of an illness this

play11:26

has been going around Manchester United

play11:28

for two months rashford's already had it

play11:31

um varane's had it martial's had it

play11:34

we've had this illness thing going

play11:37

around Old Trafford and Carrington for

play11:39

two months this is high this is high

play11:42

level sport this is people lose their

play11:44

job they don't get a contract you don't

play11:46

get a win bonus millions of fans are

play11:48

disappointed because you you lose or you

play11:50

draw at some point Man United and I'm

play11:53

pretty sure s David braford will

play11:55

implement this at some point Manchester

play11:57

United have got to start acting like a

play11:58

big football club and what I

play12:00

mean by that is so many people are

play12:02

getting their knickers in a Twist about

play12:03

a player being in a nightclub the night

play12:05

before

play12:06

training what you've also got to think

play12:08

about is you're a professional athlete

play12:11

going into a nightclub or a pub or even

play12:14

a restaurant where there's hundreds of

play12:16

other people exposes your body which is

play12:20

you know meant to be a well-run machine

play12:22

it's like a Formula One car it exposes

play12:24

you to the fumes and germs of a load of

play12:27

people that actually P during the season

play12:30

maybe you should avoid like we've had so

play12:33

many people ill recently and I know you

play12:36

can't say to a player don't go out to a

play12:38

club don't go out to a pub but you can

play12:41

educate you can educate these players

play12:44

and say look the standards at this

play12:45

football club is I want you to be

play12:47

available every week unless you've got a

play12:49

footballing injury and if you're not

play12:51

available because You' picked up an

play12:53

illness you're on 1002 200 300,000 a

play12:56

week where have you picked it up from

play12:58

what have you been doing doing to go out

play13:00

and pick up a cold or a cough now if

play13:02

it's it's from your kid who's been at

play13:03

school fine but people say well you

play13:05

can't micromanage like that other clubs

play13:08

do other sports do like you wouldn't

play13:11

believe what some athletes do to avoid

play13:13

picking up an illness you know marathon

play13:15

runners and people like that so look you

play13:17

can take it as low or as high as you

play13:19

want what I'm saying if if you want

play13:20

sporting excellence and you want

play13:23

high-end mentality and you want the best

play13:24

players on the pitch each week these

play13:26

things are part of that and I'll tell

play13:29

you for free cycling so David balford if

play13:32

he brings this in he will be looking at

play13:34

exactly stuff like that I think people

play13:36

get lost on the fact that a player might

play13:37

be in a nightclub they might be in a

play13:39

nightclub having a lime and soda with no

play13:42

drink with no alcohol in it but they're

play13:44

still surrounded in a not very well

play13:46

ventilated room by hundreds of other

play13:48

people the day before they train a

play13:51

couple of days before they've got a

play13:52

match if they pick up an illness they go

play13:54

into Carrington and they pass it round

play13:56

if they weren't in that nightclub or Pub

play13:58

that doesn't go around and this has been

play14:00

Old Trafford for a long time this has

play14:01

been going on we need to look at this

play14:03

sort of stuff it's not just being in a

play14:05

club the night before training it's also

play14:09

how you conduct yourself in your private

play14:10

life like you're a professional athlete

play14:13

earning more money than most athletes

play14:15

earn in any sport and we need that

play14:18

professionalism the attitudes of the way

play14:21

the be attitudes and behaviors are not

play14:23

acceptable at Manchester United I think

play14:24

we can all agree on that anyway the

play14:26

timeline of rashford's case Wednesday

play14:29

man united had training Wednesday night

play14:31

he's in Belfast he's out Thursday is a

play14:35

day off Thursday night he's in a club in

play14:39

Belfast Friday morning Carrington

play14:41

training I think the slippage here is

play14:43

Wednesday he was at training Wednesday

play14:45

night is in Belfast that's fine Thursday

play14:48

is in Belfast that's fine get yourself

play14:50

back for Thursday night so You' be back

play14:52

for training the issue is why are you in

play14:54

a nightclub on Thursday night when

play14:57

you've got training on Friday morning

play14:58

morning apparently he took a private jet

play15:01

in the early hours of Thursday morning

play15:03

back to Manchester and then skipped

play15:04

training but that's the problem you know

play15:06

that's the timeline we can all dance

play15:08

around but timeline is Wednesday

play15:11

training in Carrington Thursday day off

play15:14

Wednesday night was out in Belfast

play15:16

Thursday night's out in Belfast Friday

play15:18

night Mrs Friday morning Mrs training

play15:20

Carrington so that's where we are with

play15:21

it hoping for a big win today says shaie

play15:24

devil morning Mark morale boosting

play15:25

performance needed today ahead of a

play15:27

tough run exactly Dar barard coming to

play15:30

us is a precursor to City betting some

play15:32

sort of penalty by the League what is

play15:34

your opinion on this matter says Karen I

play15:35

don't know I think that I think that

play15:36

speculation with managers going soon or

play15:39

not far off vital to keep ten hog he's

play15:41

the right guy no matter how bad it gets

play15:42

he needs another year Watching from

play15:44

Gloucester says Shaka Phillips hope

play15:45

you're doing well I'd rather we play

play15:47

Anthony in poor form than rash rashford

play15:49

in poor attitude says Dan the man I'm

play15:51

not anti rashford but we need to show

play15:53

strength focus on gacho ammad pelist

play15:55

risky but it shows who's in charge and

play15:58

do you think think Eric tenh hard will

play15:59

go to Barca also would love to see a

play16:01

video on the under 18s team says Wayne

play16:04

and how hope all is well keep up the

play16:05

good works says Dan the man thank you

play16:07

very much for that um look we you know

play16:10

it's going to be very interesting what

play16:11

he does with the Wingers today um I

play16:13

don't think Mason mount's back again I

play16:15

mean we might go back to stupid times of

play16:17

putting Bruno on the wing and playing

play16:18

Mount at number 10 which I don't want

play16:20

I'd rather play rashford so I don't want

play16:22

to see that happen but um look you know

play16:25

taking it away from I've read all sorts

play16:27

over the last 12 hours I've had all

play16:29

sorts of messages some credible some not

play16:31

some people are saying ten hog

play16:33

rashford's just anti- ten hog and wants

play16:35

him out and can't be asked um some

play16:38

people are saying I think there's a

play16:39

bigger issue with rashford here um you

play16:41

know maybe around you know how he's

play16:44

feeling as a person uh some people are

play16:45

saying he's angling for a move some

play16:47

people are saying it's not that big you

play16:49

know I'm sure we're going to have to

play16:51

have something come out from Manchester

play16:52

United and I'm guaranteeing you Eric T

play16:54

Hog's going to get asked about it again

play16:56

it's a bit like when um he got dropped

play16:59

from wolves isn't it but let me just

play17:00

remind you what is a direct quote from

play17:04

Eric Zog back in uh the days after we

play17:07

got beat by Man City in the Autumn we

play17:09

got beat 3-0 by Man City on the Sunday

play17:13

and on that night Marcus rashford was

play17:15

out at a club in Manchester um

play17:18

celebrating his 26th birthday um I

play17:20

believe man united might have had

play17:21

training the next day but either way

play17:23

Eric ten hog was spoken about it and he

play17:25

said it's unacceptable it was

play17:27

unacceptable for Marcus rashford to be

play17:29

doing that so he's had one this is what

play17:32

some people are saying he's had one

play17:34

public dressing down already from this

play17:38

manager for being in a club after a game

play17:42

and ten hog said it was unacceptable

play17:44

after a game I don't know whether it's

play17:46

unacceptable to be in a nightclub after

play17:48

a game it depends if you're in training

play17:50

the next day because some managers when

play17:52

you lose want you in training the next

play17:53

day but look ten hog is the boss and he

play17:56

said it was unacceptable that he was out

play17:58

in a nightclub after the Man City loss

play18:00

so he's already once had it we can all

play18:03

speculate about what ten Hog's going to

play18:05

do but he's already once this season

play18:09

publicly told him off well he's now in a

play18:13

nightclub the night before training

play18:15

which is worse out after a match or out

play18:19

before training um so look over to ten

play18:23

hog he's got to answer the question he

play18:25

was more than happy to answer the

play18:26

question when we lost to Arsenal about

play18:27

why s wasn't in the squad it's you know

play18:31

I'm a fan of ten hog I want him to do

play18:33

well but he can't he can't you know he's

play18:35

got to do something here and as I said

play18:37

some people say oh you know Lori

play18:39

Whitwell will never get an an interview

play18:40

with Marcus rashford again I think he

play18:42

will you what's Lor Whitwell do he's

play18:44

just told the bloody truth he's a

play18:45

journalist so I think that there has to

play18:47

be a response from uh ten hog about this

play18:51

there has to be a response from rashford

play18:53

from this I think he'll probably play

play18:55

against wolves because I don't think

play18:57

we're going going to see you know

play18:59

rashford's got more in the bank than

play19:00

Sancho you know rashford actually was

play19:02

player of the year last year so I I

play19:03

think he'll bounce back and have a point

play19:05

to prove

play19:07

um but you know there has to be a

play19:09

response you can't just swe sweep it

play19:11

under the carpet uh rashford shushed the

play19:13

critics after scoring last game too says

play19:15

Stephen yeah well I I I wasn't very

play19:18

comfortable with that anyway because

play19:20

that's doing it your own fans um I think

play19:22

that was you know let's just put that

play19:24

down to naivity and Heat of the Moment

play19:26

but you know I don't I think anyone felt

play19:29

that they were shushed because of one

play19:30

goal against Spurs and the thing is if

play19:32

you're going to shush people then you

play19:34

need to back it up consistently the the

play19:36

big word at United is consistency isn't

play19:38

it uh after the whole rashford ordeal

play19:40

looking at new Wingers isn't far off

play19:42

Nico Williams I feel could be a great

play19:43

option says sinu uh and do you think

play19:46

Sancho has had an influence on

play19:47

rashford's mentality says Josh I don't

play19:49

know I don't know Marcus rashford I

play19:51

don't know his on tourage his people

play19:53

around him I don't know what his

play19:54

lifestyle is like you know people you

play19:57

know people send me stuff people tell me

play19:58

stuff but on the one hand it's great and

play20:01

on the other hand it's not and you just

play20:02

go well I'll stick to the evidence I

play20:04

don't know what rashford's like I don't

play20:06

know what he's like off the pitch and I

play20:08

think it's always unfair to paint a

play20:10

picture of somebody that you know you

play20:12

don't have the the facts about um we can

play20:14

only follow the evidence can't we sorry

play20:16

Mark but I'm until man united sort out

play20:18

the mentality problem throwing players

play20:19

like Alisa into the problem doesn't

play20:21

address the clear issue says Akash uh is

play20:23

ammad available for today says Sultan

play20:25

yes he is and thas welcome to the

play20:27

members Club you absolutely Legend

play20:28

thanks for supporting the channel and

play20:29

joining the club and getting your badge

play20:31

in uh really appreciate that um let me

play20:33

just talk to you about uh a quote from

play20:36

uh the the man that is our new CEO he's

play20:40

given an interview to the financial

play20:41

times and uh whilst there's quite a lot

play20:44

in that I just wanted I know it's match

play20:46

day um this is probably something more

play20:48

for tomorrow or in the week but um I

play20:51

just wanted to drop you this comment so

play20:54

this is from Omar Bara he says you need

play20:56

a very solid rationale as to why you're

play20:59

offering the fee the salary and the

play21:01

commission once you start overpaying you

play21:04

lose that argument and that puts you in

play21:06

a much more difficult position for the

play21:08

next one so what he's basically saying

play21:10

here is when you are doing a transaction

play21:14

to buy a player or even renew a player's

play21:17

contract you need to have a strong

play21:20

rationale as to why you're paying that

play21:22

wage why you're paying that salary why

play21:24

you're paying that commission why you're

play21:26

paying that transfer fee and if you

play21:28

don't and you overpay you lose and that

play21:32

puts you in a difficult position for the

play21:34

next deal that you do I mean look this

play21:36

is not rocket science this is absolute

play21:38

common sense and it's something that

play21:40

we've been talking about on this

play21:41

community for years and years and years

play21:44

and years but that now it looks like

play21:46

we've got a CEO that actually gets it

play21:49

the snowball effect of going to Juventus

play21:51

and saying there's 89 million for Pogba

play21:54

overpaid here's a ridiculous wage

play21:57

overpaid Mino Rola there's tens of

play21:59

millions of pounds overpaid the minute

play22:02

you do that the next deal you do Harry

play22:06

MaGuire Aaron Juan Baka Jaden Sancho

play22:09

Bruno Fernandez like all these deals

play22:11

that come after Pogba snowball on

play22:15

reputation of you know how much I earned

play22:17

out of man united do you know how much I

play22:18

earned out of man united you know how

play22:20

much we got out of man united and this

play22:22

is what barard is talking about and you

play22:23

lot have been talking about it for years

play22:25

it's absolutely ridiculous how we've

play22:28

just snowballed for years and years into

play22:30

paying I mean look at the Anthony deal

play22:33

Anthony as a player leave him alone but

play22:35

it's the same with Harry McGuire as well

play22:36

leave the player alone it's not their

play22:38

fault but 80 million pound for Harry

play22:40

McGuire 190 Grand a week 80 million

play22:43

pounds for Anthony 200 Grand a week

play22:46

they're not 200 Grand a week players and

play22:48

they're not 80 million pound players and

play22:50

God knows what their agents got those

play22:53

two deals are not standouts they are the

play22:56

norm um tens of millions of pounds

play23:00

Hemorrhage hemorrhaging out the football

play23:01

club I mean what United are doing when

play23:04

you're doing a transfer fee this is like

play23:08

open heart surgery you know you need the

play23:10

tools you need the assistance you need

play23:12

Precision you've got to get it all done

play23:15

what United do on a transfer is get a

play23:17

plaster whack it on blood everywhere you

play23:20

know and it's and it's leaking out for

play23:21

ages they don't they don't know what

play23:24

they're doing you know they don't know

play23:26

what they're doing and look let's take

play23:28

Maguire's deal for for instance we never

play23:31

should have paid any more than 60 60

play23:34

should have been the limit we never

play23:35

should have given him any more than 140

play23:38

well I say straight away that's 50 Grand

play23:39

a week saved and it's 20 million pound

play23:42

saved I don't know what the agent fees I

play23:44

can't I can't argue on that Anthony we

play23:46

never should have gone up we never

play23:48

should have gone over 55 million we went

play23:50

up by another 25 we never should have

play23:52

given him any more than 140 we given him

play23:55

200 Grand a week you know it it's it's

play23:57

ridiculous ulous amounts of money

play23:59

hemorrhaging out the football club and

play24:00

this is why I'm really encouraged look

play24:03

there's many aspects to what I think

play24:04

Bard can do with inos and and everybody

play24:07

else but this has to stop this will make

play24:12

such a difference to the football club

play24:14

because if you go back to that Anthony

play24:15

deal if we paid a proper price Cody

play24:19

gakpo would be wearing a man united

play24:20

shirt and we'd have got him that summer

play24:22

we wanted gakpo from PSV in that summer

play24:26

and the money ran out and the money ran

play24:28

out because we threw it around that

play24:30

summer we overpaid for Martinez I love

play24:32

Martinez but we overpaid we paid 45

play24:35

million pounds with add-ons too much

play24:37

money for an aax Center back ridiculous

play24:39

amounts of money uh not even an

play24:41

Argentinian starter so you know it we we

play24:45

we've overpaid for a very long time and

play24:46

it really encourages me what barard said

play24:49

uh Jim Sullivan says uh is welcome to

play24:51

the members Club thank you very much Jim

play24:53

Legend get your badge in uh we should be

play24:55

putting out our under 18 Team 13 wins of

play24:57

games 42 goals seven against is Ronald

play25:00

yeah we shouldn't be doing that but big

play25:01

shout out to them um and uh City walk

play25:05

away from overprice deals because they

play25:06

can recruit similar profiles we get

play25:08

desperate and pay UPS as DK yeah United

play25:11

back themselves into a corner you you

play25:13

you you've got to ask you got to ask why

play25:15

we do it and it's because there's no

play25:16

plan B you got to ask why we do it

play25:19

because the manager probably says I want

play25:21

that player the alternative is terrible

play25:23

so United just go all in and leave them

play25:26

I mean look I remember last summer when

play25:28

we were talking about pulling out the

play25:30

Mason Mount deal and it was like we're

play25:31

not going to pull out the Mason Mount

play25:33

deal we're just trying to pretend that

play25:34

we're going to pull out the M Mason

play25:35

Mount deal and we didn't pull out of it

play25:37

we didn't pull out of it at all you you

play25:39

you you should Man City will do it man

play25:42

united need to start doing it stop OBS

play25:45

stop obsessing over one player have

play25:47

three players that you want you can have

play25:49

a preference have three players that you

play25:51

want but if you don't get the number one

play25:53

target the number two target will do

play25:55

United don't do that they make it very

play25:57

obvious they're obsessed with one deal

play25:59

and they end up paying silly money for

play26:01

it uh Ronaldo would never car car I like

play26:04

behavor something like rashford says

play26:06

Tracy thank you very much um DJ says all

play26:09

these deals DJ is one of our members

play26:11

actually Sanchez Jones Martial it reaks

play26:13

of incompetence so Jim and inos

play26:15

hopefully know what they're doing but it

play26:17

will take time to sort it out and we'll

play26:18

save a lot of money you know I actually

play26:22

think Manchester United would

play26:26

be it's hard to put a figure on it but

play26:29

you know you know how we're screwed with

play26:30

financial fair play if you look at how

play26:32

many bad deals we've done over the last

play26:35

10 years or even over the last five

play26:37

years you're talking tens of millions of

play26:40

pounds a year better

play26:41

off tens of millions of pounds a year

play26:44

better off tens of millions of pounds a

play26:46

year that you could use on

play26:48

transfers I I wouldn't even dare to put

play26:51

a figure on it but you know tens of

play26:54

millions of pounds better off that we're

play26:56

spending on overpriced players over

play26:59

inflated wages agent fees that are all

play27:02

locked into our ffp now you know that's

play27:05

the sad thing it's all locked into ffp

play27:06

and it will take a few years to get rid

play27:08

of it um let's make a statement s and

play27:10

offload rashford says Wayne well it

play27:12

would be pure profit as I said last

play27:14

night but I don't know that United will

play27:16

do it if I'm being completely honest but

play27:18
