Ed and Paul reminisce about 1000 episodes of Rant Cast/NQAT, from its origins as a weekly phone call, to committing to recording every week, and then the expanding NQAT universe over the past three years.
The conversation turns to United’s post-Fergie decline under Ed Woodward, the Glazers’ ownership, Ratcliffe’s restructuring and layoffs, and optimism about Michael Carrick’s steadying impact, squad depth, transfers, and a Champions League schedule next season.
