#924 | In this midweek episode Ed and Wayne celebrate United Women’s first-ever Champions League win - a statement performance against Valarenge and a sign of how far Mark Skinner’s side has come this season. The conversation then pivots to changes off the pitch, as United continue the behind-the-scenes rebuild. The hosts unpack the arrival of Ameesh Malek from Brentford and what his appointment says about INEOS’ intent to modernise operations. Naturally, the rumour mill never sleeps. Ed and Wayne assess the latest whispers of a club takeover - and why it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. They also dig into Jim Ratcliffe’s recent Times interview, where he talked expectation management, academy economics, and what “sustainable success” might really mean at Old Trafford. All that, plus a quick look ahead at United’s upcoming fixture against Liverpool.
