1:48Hello, everybody. Welcome to the United Stands. I'm Art Goldbridge. This is your latest Manchester United news. Has Manchester United moved for Nico Paz of Como? Como? Should we believe that? Como? Como? I think United have been in a coma for the last 10 years. Also, we'll be talking about Pochettino. Has he effectively sacked Jason Wilcox? As more details come out about the power he now wields at Manchester United. We'll talk about that as well. Also got a few bits. I need to talk about this potential sale of the club, by the way. I didn't touch about it this weekend. And is there going to be a sale of Manchester United?

2:23We'll talk about that. Obviously, it's my live charity stream today. Straight after this, 11 o 'clock, we'll be going all day, raising money for the Marie Curie Centre. Charity for people with terminal illness. We do it every international break, Saturday in the November. You can get involved in that. You can donate now. We're about£70 away from the first£1 ,000. So please do donate and get involved in that. I also want to actually just start off. No, we'll come on to this in a moment, by the way. We will come back to this in a moment. Just mention the word Ameren to me later in the stream and I'll talk about something I want to talk about.

2:54We also have probably the most important part of the show because it's dedicated to you, the most important people, is where do you stand on Fabrizio Romano? Where do you stand on Fabrizio Romano? Where do you stand on Pochettino? Karik has gone. Pochettino is here for the next two and a half years. Some might say next two and a half months. Are you happy? Are you unhappy? Or are you undecided? You can vote on that and we'll talk about that in a moment. But where I want to start is with has Maurizio Pochettino basically sacked Jason Wilcox? Now, we know he's a head coach, but late last night, I got a couple of WhatsApps that I've looked into this morning.

3:34I'm actually waiting to hear back from a couple of other journalists just to find out what they've heard. but effectively got told last night post the show that whilst Pochettino is a head coach, he hasn't signed that contract in the same situation that Michael Carrick was, whereby Michael Carrick wanted midfielders, a left back and a striker. He got no left back. He got no striker. And he got six, seventh, eighth choice midfielders. Pochettino has more power than Carrick in his contract. How much power he has on transfers, we'll have to wait and see. But what I was told last night is that Pochettino has as much power on transfers as Wilcox, if not more.

4:18And it was the one area he wanted control of if he was going to sign the contract. So Carrington facilities, fitness, this, that and the other. I mean, you know, you can basically let's debate it. But on transfers, he was very strong that he had control of that. So be very interesting to see whether that gets confirmed. I don't think the club would like to confirm that because it undermines Jason Wilcox. But we absolutely cannot have that situation. And this is what I've been worried about since they've appointed him as a head coach. I've been very worried about how this plays out if Maurizio Pochettino is going to get given players that he doesn't want.

4:57So if he has got power, I think this is a big thing. And look, unless he's absolutely begging for the job, which he might have been, surely you wouldn't take this job looking at that squad and going, you know what, I'll put myself in the hands of Jason Wilcox. So I think that hopefully there is some truth in that. And as I said, it was from a very good source last night that Pochettino has got way more power than Carrick. Money will be made available. but more importantly it's not a veto but he can express and basically what I was told is he's got the ear of the people in power so effectively Carrick didn't have that relationship with the Glazers or Ineos but Pochettino does and sort of can go to them and bypass Wilcox and Barada which is interesting I don't think that's a good thing by the way let me just say as much as I want to see Wilcox gone, because I think he deserves to go.

6:00It's never a healthy thing when you've got a manager that can go behind the back of the CEO and the director of football. But effectively, that's what's happened in the appointment of the manager. The owners have stepped in and overruled the CEO and the director of football. I've said before, I think Wilcox will end up going, but I think this is probably a positive for Manchester United.

6:27Sorry, I've just been sent something from here. Somebody here. I don't think I can read it out, but it's good. It's quite short.

6:49Yeah, so basically what I've been, I messaged a couple of people this morning that I, you know, value their opinions. about what I'd been told last night and what I'm telling you here. And what I've just literally had is at Chelsea, he left after a year because he was immediately uncomfortable with the sporting model and the strategy. He generally wants and tells clubs that no one arrives without his say-so. And at Chelsea, people started coming in without his knowledge and that inevitably led to a breakdown in communication. And that's why he left after a one year when he actually had a two-year contract.

7:32He's also got a very short-term deal and he hasn't got the time to wait for someone else to build a project for him. And also there could be sporting structure change coming very, very soon. So look, I think that, I mean, that's interesting. That's interesting feedback because I've given you what I was told and now I'm getting extra stuff coming in from somebody completely different. and what they're saying is whilst they're not confirming what I've told and what I've been told is that Pochettino has more power than Wilcox on transfers now what I've just been told by a second person is is that at Chelsea he had that and Chelsea withdrew it and that's why he went after 12 months there was a breakdown in communication and that there's next to no chance that he would sign a contract with Man United for two years and then say you lot can build the team for me he's got a very short period of time.

8:24He hasn't got a five-year deal. He hasn't got a three-year deal. He's got a two-and-a-half year deal. So he's got very little time. This season's a bit of a write-off anyway. So he's got next season and then nobody ever really goes into their final year. This is a ridiculously brilliant point by me, and maybe some of you've mentioned it as well. This is a ridiculously brilliant point. He only has a year. I think it's very similar to the Amrim contract and maybe even the Carrick contract. He's only got a year because this season is basically damage limitation. Anything's a bonus if we can get Europe.

8:58Next year has to be a good year because nobody goes into their final year. So in a two and a half year contract, half of that, that half year is this shit season that he's got to try and salvage. Next year will be the big season because no one goes into the final year. So it makes sense, doesn't it? If you're Pochettino, as much as Man United's the dream job, unless you're just obsessed by payouts, you're just going to go, I have to have a massive say on transfers, otherwise this is not going to work. So look, I need it. I need it from an Ornstein or someone like that. But I must admit, I feel a lot more positive this morning in relation to what I got told last night.

9:38Exclusively, we can tell you that this morning. And I can also tell you that another journalist has messaged me this morning, basically verifying that there will be a lot of truth in that because Pochettino wouldn't sign a contract unless he had final say because he's got to get this working in a very short period of time. So look, I'm starting to feel a little bit better because, but then is Pochettino the guy to do it? I mean, I didn't like Carrick having to be beholden to Wilcox and Pochettino beholden to Wilcox would be a bloody nightmare, but it sounds like Pochettino has got final say on transfers.

10:09I think that's going to be very interesting. And also on Pochettino, I think it has to be said that his development of youth has been very good throughout his career. And we have got some very interesting young players coming through at Manchester United. So let's wait and see what happens with that. I just want to do this before we talk about Nico Paz. And I'm sure people are reacting to what I've just said there. Don't forget the charity stream all day today on my channel. The link is in the video description if you want to donate and get us to 1 ,000 before that actually starts. But also, we will be live from 11 o 'clock.

10:45Also in the live chat, we have a poll. Where are you on Poch? Happy 36%, unhappy 8%, undecided 57%. Now, look, I almost wanted to start up the Block Goldbridge campaign again this morning. I logged onto Twitter. I was setting stuff up for the charity stream. I saw some tweet about me and I did have a little bit of an interaction, which is always a mistake. Never go down to their level. But they were basically talking about how you feed toxicity in the fan base. It's your fault that, you know, all this sort of stuff. I actually quite like the idea of the Block Goldbridge campaign because these people will block me and I won't have to see their tweets.

11:28but their anger was basically I did overlap daily yesterday with Carriger and Becky Eves and there was a point in there where I said Man United fans will be potch out after two or three games if he has bad results this moron interpreted that as me saying I'll be potch out after two or three bad results the wonder of I would always say to anybody when you see a clip on social media that's less than 30 seconds long in fact, less than 60 seconds long, and it's something to do with a longer program, always look for the longer bit because you're actually being mugged off and you're an idiot. If you see a short clip and take it out of context, I'm sorry, in 2026, you're a fucking idiot.

12:09You are. If you take 30 seconds of a clip and you believe that 30 seconds without seeking out the fuller clip, you're a fucking idiot. I'm sorry. Because I've been doing this for 10 years. Our most watched video is Edward being sacked. I'd say that's a positive. Our second most watched video is Man United beating Newcastle in the Carabao Cup. I'd say that's quite a big positive. So there's, you know, your negativity. Also, if the Glazers sold Man United, I think that would instantly be our number one video. If Man United won the Premier League, that would be our instant number one video. If we won the Champions League, that would be our instant number one video.

12:46I think if we signed somebody like Elliot Anderson or Alex Scott, that would get huge views as well. So look, Man United have been shit for 10 years. Don't ever feel bad for calling them shit. If you're positive about Man United, you're a deluded liar. Absolutely. But I just want to say on Pochettino, I didn't say I would be Pochettino out if he lost his first three games. I said some in our fan base would be because they will. And if you don't know that, you don't know your own fan base. Amorim didn't even get to his first summer transfer window and people were saying Amorim out because he finished 15th.

13:25So he didn't even get a transfer window. He inherited a shit show and people wanted him out. Carrick, I mean, in fairness, Carrick did win one in 10, lasted about a month. I mean, I actually think people would Carrick out after, what was it? We lost to Hull, we beat Ipswich, we drew to Everton and we lost to City. People would definitely Carrick out after the City one. Definitely. Maybe even the Everton one, but definitely after four games. Yeah, look, if you don't think some of our fan base will beat Pochettino out if he loses to Liverpool, draws to Brentford, loses to Sporting and loses to Newcastle, then you don't know this fan base, they will be.

14:10Will I be? No. I'm not being labelled with that. When have I ever been a manager out after three or four games? Never. I'm always late. This is the problem. I'm always late. It's not when I get invited to parties. I'm fashionably late. I don't know whether it's fashionable to be late with a manager, but I am. I am. And Robert McCormack's probably not in here this morning, but he's one of my biggest critics. and we get on really well. But he would tell you, I'm always late. I'm always late on managers. Oli, late. Mourinho, late. Amorim, late. Ten Hag, late. I just, I don't, I try as long as possible to not say manager out because I hate being early on it.

14:51It's depressing. It's so annoying. In fact, I tell a lie, I did it once with Van Gaal. I went Van Gaal out at Christmas and they didn't sack him till May. Oh my God, it was depressing. Rooney broke the goal record and I barely celebrated it because I was so fed up of Van Halt. So I don't like being early on manager out. And if you are and you want to say, I told you so I was manager out. Great. Well done. But I don't like being manager out. So if Pochettino loses every game till Christmas, I still won't be Pochettino out. Well, maybe I would. But look, I'm not. I'm not. If people are circulating clips again that aren't true, just block me and fuck off.

15:30Because I'm not going to be Pochettino out after two or three games. There will be people who are, absolutely. Where do I sit on Pochettino? I'm trying my very best to try and be positive. I'm definitely undecided. I'm not unhappy. So on the poll where 36 % of you are happy, 56 % of you undecided and 8 % are unhappy. I'd like to hear more from the 8%. I'd love to know why you're unhappy because I don't really have any unhappiness. I have been very critical of Pochettino in the past. I've seen the clips and I find them quite humorous because I think they're made by people who think they're intelligent because they go, oh, look at what this person said two, three, four, five years ago.

16:22Man United were a very different club 12 months ago. under Amarim 12 months ago I actually thought we were building something that might be sustainable 12 months later we're in the relegation zone so I think when you look at any Man United fan's opinion about any manager 2, 3, 4, 5 years ago I'd put it in the bin there's people who were probably saying Ten Hag is fucking useless 2.5 years ago where if you ask them now they might go we probably should have stuck with that he'd won two trophies in two years, probably better than where we are now. So, look, of course I've been critical of Pochettino.

17:00I desperately didn't want him. I thought he was the media choice over Ten Hag. Ten Hag was the right choice, by the way. I'm not apologising for saying I wanted Ten Hag over Pochettino. Ten Hag was the right choice. Ten Hag won two trophies in two years and finished in the top four. We'd bite your hand off for that now. The problem with Ten Hag was I don't think he had the personality for the job. and even I would admit that. You know, you can't say that Carrick was not very charismatic and then say that Ten Hag, you know, could do stand-up comedian like Peter Kay. He couldn't. He was very dry and I don't think he suited a club like Man United.

17:38But ultimately, I think Ten Hag did quite well. We've never seen what Pochettino can do yet. So I still stand by going for Ten Hag over Pochettino and I stand by what I said at that time. But where we are now, it's not Ten Hag or Pochettino. it's stick with Carrick, one win in 10, no experience, not very good coaching staff, or bring Pochettino in. And I'm like, yeah, bring Pochettino in. Yeah. So I don't care what people said about Pochettino in the past. I said it. But where we are now is not where we were three years ago, five years ago, 10 years ago. I think every time we've sacked a manager, we've looked at the new manager and gone, can they win us the Premier League?

18:16Can they rebuild this football club? Can they get is in the Champions League every year. Quite rightly, that's the standards of Manchester United. OK, and maybe in the past I've said, no, don't get Pochettino. He's not the right guy. Where we are now is in the relegation zone with an abysmal ownership, a crap board. And literally, there are loads of managers I would give the job now that I never would have given them five years ago. I mean, seriously, I probably, if somebody said, what about I'm trying to think of somebody that I really wouldn't want but I would take right now I mean look Conte I understand people's frustrations I actually like Conte but I would take Conte now and maybe you wouldn't take Conte because of the long term I mean I'd take Mourinho now I mean he is the Real Madrid manager I'm trying to think of a manager I would take now that really doesn't fit with what I would want but I would take them absolutely now and that's how I feel about Pochettino There are huge risks.

19:19It might not work, but 100 % I would take him because it's definitely better than where we were last week. And we're in the relegation zone. So when people are, I think people are setting the targets too high. Unfortunately, I agree with the targets. We should be trying to win the league. We should be trying to win the Champions League. We're Manchester United. But where we are at the moment, I don't think you can feel guilty for saying you didn't want Pochettino two or three years ago. but you do now because where we were two or three years ago isn't where we are now. I mean, we are right. I wouldn't say we're at the bottom of the barrel.

19:50We can definitely go lower, but this is our lowest point. This is our lowest point. I mean, if it was a choice between David Moyes and Michael Carrick, you'd go David Moyes. If it was a choice between Sean Dyche and Michael Carrick, you'd take Sean Dyche. I don't want them, but you would. It's like we are at our lowest point. So I think with Pochettino, I wouldn't say I'm happy. I think there's a lot to prove. I wouldn't say I'm unhappy because it's a definite upgrade, but I'm definitely undecided. It's very hard to be. I just think the fan base is really in a good place, actually. As much as the football club's in a bad place, I think the fan base is in a good place because I've never known it so honest.

20:31I've never known it so switched on and I've never known it so less full of fucking hype, I suppose. I mean, I think naturally Mourinho comes in after Van Gaal, we're going to win the league. Oli comes in, we're going to win the league. Tenard comes in, we're going to win the league. Even when Amrim came in, we're going to win the league. I think Pochettino's coming in and everyone's going, I haven't got a bloody clue. We're definitely not winning the league though. So I think Pochettino, and I think Maud said it yesterday, Pochettino might be the guy before the guy. Right, Wayne, what are we doing here today?

21:12Filming promo for a new podcast, me and Mark Goldbridge. What's the podcast called, Wayne? I don't know. What is it called? Oh, that was good. Wayne is a player. Exactly what Man United was all about. But I'm sure we're not going to agree on everything. What would you think about Mark if you were a current player? Probably think he's a... We'll be reacting to all the games. Do you do your own painting in your house? All the big stories. Just have my socks on and my underpants. Good. Hopefully no sackings. He's gone first, I've bolted him. I think we will have debates. That's why I was saying you can go first.

21:45I did. On the volley. United. Oh, that's perfect. On the pitch, off the pitch. I've got a little goal in my garden. I'd have to save that, to be honest. Stick to United. is coming to him. And that might be as good as it gets. It might be worse. He might be the worst manager we've ever had. But I think that because Pochettino has got no CV of winning things, I think expecting him to go and win the Premier League is incredibly difficult. It's almost impossible with this ownership. But he might be the guy that starts getting us in and around fifth. And then builds a bit of a base and then we kick on from there.

22:28But ultimately, we do need the full sale. Now, just to talk about that very, very quickly, there was, is it Stefan Borsen? I think he was on the radio this week talking about a full sale for Manchester United.

22:42What I saw that, I think I was away in London at the time and I was asked about whether I was going to do a video about it by our production team. And I said, no, I'm at Borough Market eating Humble Crumble, which is, if you're at Borough Market, go and have Humble Crumble. it is basically crumble. So like you can have apple crumble, berry crumble, comes in a little pot and on top of that, you can have ice cream, cream, custard, cold custard. I had cold, I was brilliant. I've just massively given humble crumble a shout out in Borough Market but it was delightful. And anyway, I was eating that.

23:15I'm not eating the sale story. But no, I don't think we're for sale. It's not Christmas. I mean, I'm content that we've moved Carrick on and that we brought Pochettino in. That's one step in the right direction. The next step is to remodify the board and remove people. And then the next step after that is a full sale. I don't think we're going to get a full sale. In fact, I saw something this morning about the Glazers buying a Saudi club. That's not the behaviour of owners that are looking to sell Man United. so anybody that's saying that the Glazers are about to sell Man United if they're looking to buy another football club I really don't think that you would sell Man United and buy a Saudi club to me that looks like expansion so I don't think that the Glazers are going anywhere there might be a scenario where the Glazers boot out Sir Jim Radcliffe which I think they can do in February next year but it's very clear that there are problems going on there.

24:23I personally think the Glazers don't mind spending money. It's just been spent badly. I think there was a period after Sir Alex to about 2020 where we spent a billion. And even Richard Arnold said, I look at Carrington and we may as well have thrown it out and I wonder where we've spent it. So I don't know. Ineos don't like spending money. Wages are being reduced. transfer fees are being reduced we're not buying what we need we're doing stupid things like trying to build a midfield one summer, build a defence another, it's incredibly bad maybe that will change but I don't think there's going to be a sale what about Nico Paz ok, yeah, let's talk about Paz for a moment so I think that I think in relation to Nico Paz there has been some stuff put out there about Man United moving for him.

25:22A few people have asked me about it. Look, I did the video last night. I mean, Rayan at Bournemouth has said that he always supports Man United and people are saying, let's sign him. I mean, I just think this sort of stuff is somewhat irrelevant, really. It's fantasy talk. I mean, Elliot Anderson should have signed for Man United and we refused to do the deal. maybe Tonali should have signed for Man United and we refuse to do the deal this is the ownership we have at the moment so we can't keep buying players who support Man United that's just pure stupidity we need to buy players that improve Man United in relation to Nico Paz I mean fantastic player didn't really get much time in the World Cup for Argentina but for Como he's been incredible we got to see that first hand a few weeks ago against United in the Champions League the trouble with Paz is is that one I just think it's a classic we're going to sign Nico Paz because we need the fan base to get all optimistic and buy shirts for Christmas which it clearly is two I think Real Madrid have a buyback next summer for about 60 million quid and he can I think he's only got about 18 months left on his deal at Como so very very difficult to get hold of these type of players when Real Madrid have got first dibs on him um so I think that's very very difficult um also you've got the Bruno Fernandes situation where Bruno Fernandes is obviously a player that United are desperate to keep um and why would you buy Paz when you've got Bruno for another three years Kunia for a few more years Mason Mount still here.

27:12You know what I mean? I think we have got to be honest more now. I think many people have said it and I agree with it. Now is the time to not take the foot off the pedal. Now is the time to keep the pedal to the floor. And what that means is to keep calling stuff out. I mean, unless, by the way, if you want to sit back and say everything's great, I'm going to be really optimistic again. That's your prerogative. If you think Michael Carrick was the only one responsible for Man United where they are. For me, I wanted Carrick gone because he wasn't good enough, but also he was the shield that protected the real issues.

27:48Michael Carrick as a legend of the club will always have a place in our heart. You remove Michael Carrick, don't have that loyalty to Wilcox, don't have that loyalty to Barada, certainly don't have that loyalty to the owners. So now that Carrick's gone, I don't think it's the time to sit back and go, oh, everything's going to be okay. I think now it's the time to scrutinise things even more. so when I see stories being written by multiple journalists about Nico Paz I go well Real Madrid got first dibs on a 70 million release clause so he's going to cost more than 70 million anyway and there will be a massive amount of competition for him and we're talking Liverpool's Arsenal's PSG's so how do you beat them lot when we're not probably going to be in the Champions League and then thirdly we're trying to get Bruno to sign a new contract so why would you buy him So in relation to Nico Paz, I would say total bullshit, spin story to make you feel optimistic.

28:42And you need to go through that process, in my opinion, for yourselves. Whenever you see a story that comes out that's potentially positive, scrutinise it. scrutinise the facts and then come up with a conclusion as to whether it's likely, unlikely or total bullshit PR. And I think Nico Paz is just certain journalists writing the same old shit because they're fed it by the club and it's PR bullshit. And Nico Paz to Man United is PR bullshit. We will not sign him ahead of Real Madrid or PSG or Arsenal. We will not spend 80 million to sign him anyway. and we will not even move for him if Bruno and Cunha are still at the club.

29:28So to me, it's a waste of time. What we need to scrutinise, what we need to do is bring a striker in, ASAP. What we need to do is bring full backs in, ASAP. And what we need to do is probably look at the midfield again and the defence centre-backs because it's a mess. And I'm pretty sure that Pochettino is going to have to use the likes of Luke Shaw, the low Harry Maguire over the next few months because there's nobody else. But if he's using them next season, you're going to lose your job, mate. I mean, I can't even... ChatGBT crashed when I said, can you list off every player at Man United and how many managers they've sacked?

30:10It just went and crashed and said, I can't do it because... How many managers has Luke Shaw sacked? Fucking hell Computer says no Luke Shaw was bought by Van Hal So Van Hal Marinho Testimonial is now Ollie Ranyik

32:19Ten Hag, Amirim, Carrick. Seven managers, Luke Shaw, has seen sacked. Even someone like Bruno, it's Oli, Ten Hag, Amirim, Carrick. That's four. Someone said the other day, even the likes of Mbamo and Cunha and Sesko of sack two, Amorim and Carrick. So we've got serial sackers in that room. And look, let's take Harry Maguire because I think he's been through the shit and he's come out the other end. Harry Maguire is a good lad, isn't he? I think most people look at Maguire and don't really have an issue with him. We know the limitations, but he wears his heart on his sleeve. He is limited as a centre-back, but he's had a very good career.

33:13Harry Maguire was bought by Oli. So Oli sacked, Tenag sacked, Amrim sacked, Carrick sacked. So Harry Maguire has seen four managers sacked. That's too many. In fact, it's two, too many. I think if you see two managers sacked, it's time to go yourself. and not because they're necessarily... Somebody said, how many has Rashford seen sacked? Well, Rashford made his debut under Van Gaal. So seven. Seven, like Luke Shaw. Deleuze was Mourinho, so six. Yeah, it's like a quiz question this. We'll do it on the charity. But it's not that those players got the manager sacked, by the way. it's that those players yeah so what if you take harry maguire as an example right if he's seen four managers sacked has harry maguire sacks those managers well let's let's say he hasn't let's say he's always given 100 he didn't down tools a little bit or drop off a little bit because he felt a manager needed to go but there is still a problem with it even if those players haven't directly contributed to the sack by you know dropping levels or you know not fighting for the manager, which I don't think some of them did.

34:33But even if you did, you still damage goods. If you've been part of a team four times that's failed so badly that the manager's been sacked, what does that do to you mentally? What does that do to you in relation to determination, to put it right? You become experienced in failure. I always think about the players that lost 7-0 at Anfield. For every Man United player that was on that pitch, they've probably sacked three or four managers each. They've been to Anfield and been beaten 7-0. There's no resilience there. It's just experienced in failure. And if I walked into that football club, I would be like, unfortunately, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Deleau, Rashford, probably even Bruno at this stage.

35:24I need them gone. As much as they're good players, I need them gone and they need to go. They need a fresh challenge themselves, to be fair, because they're locked into failure. They're in the failure mentality. When things go wrong, they're almost computer minded to know what's going to happen. I'm going to lose my job. I can't have that. I can't have players that are used to seeing managers go and are used to rebuilds because they become used to it. And it's not necessarily their fault, but they become used to it. So if you've got somebody like Deleuze, he's used to bad performances leading to a manager being sacked and he still stays there earning money.

36:06Subconsciously, in Deleuze's mind, failure doesn't matter. You won't be held accountable. You'll still go home to your nice house and you'll still get paid. I don't want players like that. I want players where failure does matter because I need them on that pitch fighting for me and the fans for 90 minutes. We've got too many players who are used to failure with no consequence. We can't build with that. So this is why you need a massive, massive rebuild. Let's get into some of your comments this morning. Great show. Very exciting news. If it's true that Pochettino has more power than Wilcox now on transfers, This could be a very significant development.

36:50I'll expect to see this coming out from high-tier journalists over the next few hours, couple of days. I got told it last night, sort of had it verified by someone else this morning. Pochettino would not have signed that contract without final say on transfers. He's got too short a period of time to turn this around. He cannot be reliant on other people building the project for him. So much negativity on Pochettino. I think he'll steady the ship while also doing some good coaching, hopefully getting his regular Champions League footballs to Stephen. I've got to be honest, Stephen. I'm not calling you a liar.

37:25I haven't really seen the negativity on Potch. I can't think of a notorious pundit, content creator, journalist that's really done a hit piece on him. And I might be wrong on that. And there certainly are some people who apparently are negative towards it, but I haven't really seen it, to be honest. I think the negativity is still very much aimed at what's going on above him. Did Poch cry because he needs to work with Delo? Says Malpa. Do you think the Glazers overruling is true? Says Pierre Turnips. Yes. Poch is not best in class, but willing to see how it goes. Nothing Ineos has done gives me any confidence that it'll work, says Liam.

38:02I think you've definitely got to work on the assumption that this was a Glazer move. The connection with the USA men's team. the fact that on Monday and look you can do with what you can do this what you like I said on Overlap Daily yesterday what I was told on Monday because I was going away for two days so I was every source I had every journalist I was messaging them like I'm going away for two days do I need to be taking my laptop and good camera to be live streaming and the indication on Monday morning was that Carrick was going to stay at least for the next week and maybe they'd look at it next week or after Liverpool.

38:44And then Monday lunchtime, it was like something's happened. Something's changed. So you look at the way Barad is celebrated on Sunday. I mean, this is a CEO that doesn't support Man United and we equalise with Villa to stay in the relegation zone and he's jumping around like he's won the lottery. That was not a guy who supports Man United. That was a guy who supports himself. why would you do that because he thought that goal was enough to keep Carrick in in a job I think they were keeping Carrick I think Carrick thought he was staying you you listen to what Carrick this is not this has not been scrutinized by anybody by the way you listen to what Carrick said after the game on Thursday that was a man that was staying so Barada behaved like Carrick was staying Carrick behaved like Carrick was staying Wilcox celebrated like Carrick was staying.

39:36I think Monday Carrick was staying and then something changed in the afternoon. And it's very obvious what happened. Pochettino suddenly became available. And who brought Pochettino into the room? The Glazers. It's very, very, very obvious. I probably haven't had a couple of minutes to actually scrutinise it like that, but absolutely something massive changed on Monday afternoon. And what happens on a Monday afternoon? Americans wake up. Americans wake up Monday morning Carrick was staying Monday afternoon he was gone and I think Carrick looked as confident as he's ever looked after that Villa draw I think after Bournemouth he looked worried I think after Como he looked worried I think even after Chelsea he looked worried but after Villa he looked confident and the noise coming out a couple of days ago was that Carrick was quite annoyed and surprised Barada's there celebrating there's no way that Wilcox and Barada were sacking Carrick on Monday.

40:34Somebody above them came in the room and went, Poch is available, this is what we're going to do. So yeah, I absolutely do not believe that Wilcox and Barada sacked Carrick. And I absolutely do not believe that Wilcox and Barada had Pochettino lined up. I think it was the Glazers. Ninja says, now the CEO needs to go. Hi, Mark, hope Poch will do well, but I still think Linneos will find a way to mess it up, says Christian. Fair point. I think Potch operated at Tottenham on an extremely limited budget. A bit worried that's what they're going to do here, says Ollie. We will fail on a limited budget.

41:06I think we all know that. Someone ring Luckhurst for his thoughts, says Ven. Random, but love watching your lives. I feel like your success is mainly success. And all I do is comment. I wonder if you remember my name since you get lots of super chats. Never change. No one can please everybody, says Zach. Well, thank you very much for your generous super chat, Zach. And of course, I know your name. You've definitely contributed before. The Tabis says, interesting note. United have hired a manager that Milan rejected for the manager that United sacked. Seeing these two teams develop will be interesting.

41:36It is an interesting point, yeah. Josh says, backed himself during negotiations and rendered Wilcox redundant in the process. He seems to know what the club needs to do. This is the thing I was going to go to, Josh, as well, just very quickly picking up on the previous point. I think the Glazers brought Pochettino into the room and said, this is the next manager, Carrick's gone. And also, I think the Glazers negotiated with Potch not Wilcox so I think Potch and the Glazers have more power than Wilcox now yeah low IQ people shouldn't be allowed online says Ross I always thought Pochettino was just a worse Jose says Jordan it's actually good that you are late on managers because you know there are deeper issues than the manager it shows a deeper understanding of United says Bibbos thank you I think Potch is a fantastic coach for building a broken team and after that we can hire Enrique says Amar happy with Potch if the club back in with spending and money in January in the summer we need to spend big, says Dan.

42:28The Glazers will not sell before new stadiums, says Milsy. Sales story comes out every international break, says Paul. It definitely does. Hope you're doing well. Every day Wilcox is still at United is negative, says Ross. Dan Johnson, welcome to the members club. Thanks for getting your badge in. Love that. Mark, you said no to Hansi Flick. You'd take him now. Yes. Yes. Things change, Cam. Mate, I've said a lot of things about managers, players, ex-players doesn't necessarily mean I mean it now. I think football is just... Somebody a couple of years ago pulled out a tweet I'd done about five years before and tried to ridicule me for it.

43:05And everyone on Twitter, I didn't even need to reply, just went, you're a moron. Like, you can say something last week. I mean, literally happened to me in the Forest Man City game, was doing a watch-along and I went, Liam, the laps a load of shit he scores two worldies like thing things can change in minutes in football let alone weeks or months we signed a 16 year old today says ause yeah i don't care about that i'm a bit like you happy they're bringing in cappuccino those players need to wake up says sensible advice guy if poch works out and we learn in fact it was a glazer decision will that mean the fans will see it as glazes saved as because of inios failed says m1 look i think in in the race to be credible or the best owner of Man United, I'm sad to say the Glazers are better for Man United than Ineos.

43:53The Glazers are not good for Man United, but they're better than Ineos. Apparently, the Glazers were against Ineos sacking half the workforce as well. The Glazers are horrific owners of Man United, but Ineos have somehow done a great job at being worse. Glazers prefer to deal with one person instead of three, says Kiel Robinson. And we are weeks away from Luke Shaw saying this is the best group he's seen at United. Harry, I need to laugh today because it's the charity stream and it's going to be a long day, but you are right. Every bloody summer, Luke Shaw comes out and says the same old shit, doesn't he?

44:31Is it 100 % that Wilcox will be sacked, says Rajav? From what I've been told and what I keep hearing and it's developing, I mean, look, that's an exclusive this morning that Pochettino's got more power than Wilcox on transfers now. I mean, Wilcox is, as I said last night, he's got to be in a job sense, a dead man walking. Like he's lost all power. He's got no respect. And let me just say this about Wilcox. He's not respected in the industry. He's not respected in the Carrington dressing room. He's not respected in the fan base. And the manager's got more power than him in transfers. I mean, I'll be stunned if he doesn't get removed.

45:09It might take a few months, but I'll be stunned if he doesn't get removed. because you're wasting your money. You're wasting your money. Delita's had all managers sacked in their first year at all his career. Good luck today, Mark, says Mark Robbo. Thank you. Alwami, welcome to the Members Club. I'm going to wrap it there because I have got to get live at 11 o 'clock. We're doing some great stuff today. We've got FC27 draft. I'm going to do a bit of fall, guys.
