Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 2.5k ratings
  • Audio balance issues but otherwise great

    Loving the content lads, you are my go to channel and podcast for anything united - with a little of the athletic on the side.

    Only negative feedback is purely technical - don’t know if it’s just the Australian ads but they are significantly louder than the main content. My ear drums get a walloping every time it cuts to an ad. At least with Ste you can tell when he’s gonna start yelling and I know to bring it down a few notches.

  • Terrible ad set up

    Sounds like you guys have some great content. However the way the ads are imbedded without any warning or break makes it unlistenable. Also there are a lot of them!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

This KEY Mistake Seems So Much WORSE Now! | w/ Kieran Maguire
Q: How concerned should United fans be about our future, given the debt and interest payments and the long-term financing of the stadium?
From a sustainability perspective, the club generates cash through matchdays and commercial activity, and while debt and interest payments are high, the club remains a cash generator capable of absorbing costs if prudently managed; long-term success will hinge on translating that cash into on-pitch and infrastructural value, despite the costs associated with the stadium project.
This KEY Mistake Seems So Much WORSE Now! | w/ Kieran Maguire
Q: Just on the player sales element of it, and I know some of the players we can't move on, that we want to move on, are players that were signed under Ineos, but do you think that the shifting wages will help that in the future longer term to move players on or do you think that's still an issue?
Shifting wages will help liquidity and potential sell-offs, because if higher earners have a year left and no one offers more than a reduced package, players will consider leaving for financial reasons; the new strategy under INEOS aims to balance costs and workers' welfare while enabling more flexible player movements.
This KEY Mistake Seems So Much WORSE Now! | w/ Kieran Maguire
Q: Do you think that was financially viable? Because a lot of us, myself included, were like, yes, we've bought players and we've spent some money, but we've spent the same amount as whole City, spent less than Ipswich. Could United have gone bigger in the transfer window?
One could have signed an additional player for around 50-60 million and spread the cost over several years, which would have been feasible; however, the club's focus often centers on balancing wage costs and amortization with long-term financial strategy rather than chasing immediate big-name signings.
'This Year Is Ayden's Year!' | Lisa Heaven Exclusive Interview
Q: What was the turning point in Ayden's development that convinced you he could play at the top level?
The debut and the early games which built confidence, followed by steady integration into first-team duties and the realization that Ayden could rise to the challenge with the right environment and mentoring.
How Manchester United Can FINALLY Complete Their Midfield! | Paddock Podcast w/ Ty Marshall
Q: What is the likelihood United sign a third midfielder this window?
The consensus is that a third midfielder is likely but not guaranteed; if they sign one, it would probably be a mid-priced option rather than a marquee star, and the club may be waiting to see how the market evolves.
