]]> Listening Dog Media hello@listeningdogmedia.com Should Man United Fans Be Panicking Yet? | The United Foundry Podcast Are Manchester United fans right to be worried about the transfer window — or is there still plenty of time for INEOS to get it right? In the first episode of The United Foundry Podcast, Gaz Drinkwater and Callum Stone discuss United’s transfer strategy, the club’s pursuit of young talent and whether the squad still desperately needs another midfielder before the Premier League season begins. They also get into Marcus Rashford’s return to Manchester United, the criticism surrounding his life off the pitch and whether fans should care what players do away from football if they perform when it matters. Then, attention turns to a much bigger issue: INEOS’ relationship with Manchester United supporters. From season-ticket controversy and rising prices to the diminishing influence of the Fans’ Forum, has Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s regime fundamentally misunderstood what makes Manchester United different? Plus: what would have happened if José Mourinho had replaced Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013? Would United have won another Premier League title — and would the post-Ferguson collapse simply have been delayed? 00:00 Welcome to The United Foundry Podcast 01:06 Man United transfer rumours & “silly season” 03:24 Are United moving too slowly in the market? 04:30 Louis Page & United’s youth recruitment strategy 06:38 Should United spend big on another midfielder? 08:22 Are INEOS getting recruitment right? 10:22 Why United fans shouldn’t panic yet 12:48 Why young players still want Manchester United 15:29 Man City, spending & football’s financial rules 17:22 Marcus Rashford is back at Manchester United 18:07 Should fans care what Rashford does off the pitch? 21:31 Rashford, professionalism & the Amorim fallout 23:40 INEOS and the treatment of Manchester United fans 25:21 What happened to the Fans’ Forum? 27:14 Ticket prices, touting & the matchgoing fan 30:25 Are INEOS destroying United’s fan culture? 31:12 What going to Old Trafford actually means 33:08 Have INEOS misunderstood Manchester United? 35:49 Woodward vs Ratcliffe: has it actually got worse? 37:24 The Glazers are still the real problem 38:55 What if Mourinho replaced Ferguson in 2013? 42:41 Are United ready for the new season? 43:02 Picking Man United’s best XI 45:33 When should fans start panicking about transfers? 45:54 Outro Subscribe to The United Foundry for weekly Manchester United discussion, reaction and opinion.
