All the more reason for Liverpool to further maximise their commerical viability w.r.t sponsorships.
We aren’t a smaller club than United. And I do realise that we’ve been doing a good job , we need to do better.
This Ratcliffe guy really does take the biscuit for being one arrogant prick… Read his comments here about our friend ‘Moysey’… Then take the time to discover the management appointments Ratcliffe has made which makes him such an expert… Oh yeah, beyond Amorim there haven’t been any…
What a twat he is… Sounds well suited to Old Toilet
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has suggested Manchester United only have themselves to blame for the position they are in, blaming a string of poor decisions behind the scenes historically and having named and shamed the manager that should never have been allowed to take charge.
The Red Devils enjoyed unparalleled success during the Sir Alex Ferguson era, winning an incredible 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League crowns and numerous other cups during his glorious 26 years at the helm. However, while it could be expected that his retirement in 2013 would mark a downturn in fortunes, the fact that Manchester United are, some 12 years later, yet to win the Premier League title again illustrates just how tough they have since found it.
Indeed, this season, United are well on course for comfortably their worst season of the Premier League era. Currently 14th, they are already eight points adrift of Fulham in 10th, meaning their first-ever bottom-half finish since 1990 now looks a near-certainty.
Co-owner Ratcliffe is now the man trusted with helping revive their fortunes and while some questionable decisions have been made during his first year at the helm, he argues that historical failures have put them in the position they are now in, claiming they got it wrong right from the off in naming David Moyes as Ferguson’s successor.
“Look, I like David Moyes, and I think he’s a really good manager, but to go from Sir Alex Ferguson to Moyes is not where I would have gone,” said Ratcliffe.
“Moyes stepped into the shoes of Ferguson, who’s won the Premier League 13 times, who won the Champions League twice and then you’re handing over to a guy that has never managed big players and had never won anything.
“He’s not necessarily got the personality to stand in front of them all. And I don’t think Real Madrid would have made that choice as coach.
“If you look at coaches, a club can’t always get it right, but they should have found the best chief executive in the world, and the best coach in the world, because Manchester United is the best club in the world. Instead, they got both of those decisions wrong.”

Then they sacked him 8 months in.
The fact they are still shit and have they the best manager and the best CEO now?
No

Oh. Hang on…
Never mind.

Amorim is The Man with the Great Plan to gratify The Fans.
Look, they’ve just thrashed mighty Leicester who is second (bottom) in the league table. 
I’m not saying Radcliff is incompetent, but INEOS took a 1/3 stake in AMG Mercedes F1 in Dec 2020. Hamilton’s last championship was in 2020…

I didn’t see the game and looked at the match stats and Leicester had more possession and a higher XG although less shots.

Keep the foot on the throat of these pricks while they are down.
I hope the Glazers hang around forever, take the cream and annoy the entitled fan base. They are not stupid.
My worst nightmare is if in a few years they have a wonderful new stadium and a deep pocket new owner like Newcastle and City.
In the interim you ain’t knocking us off our perch.

The Arsenal result was decent but considering what West Ham and Forest did not that impressive.
They beat Sociedad but they are 12th in La Liga plus they only really got over the line on a penalty and after the red card.
And they beat Leicester who really aren’t in the greatest of places.

So are you telling me you’re NOT putting fifty quid on them to win the league next year?

I don’t usually bet anything more than a fiver.
Wouldn’t do that either. In fact for him to win the sack race might be a decent bet.

The Amorim and Ange sack race all comes down to Europa.

So at least one of the two will hit the dirt pretty soon?
Ange much more likely to go if they crash to Frankfurt.
I think Amorim is unlikely to be sacked no matter what happens given short tenure. But you never know.
In case Amorim is given the boot, who should replace him?
Maybe the return of Moysiah the real messiah who has won the “super prestigious” Europa Conference League recently?
Afterall it’s still an European trophy which Amorim whose only success has been in a minor national league.
Also, Moysiah’s Everton has not lost in last their 9 PL games, remaining one of only 2 clubs having that record. Amorim in contrast, has lost thrice.
So, despite Sir Rat’s recent criticism, he’s better than Amorim. 
No idea after all I had never heard of Slot or Amorim when they were first announced on the Liverpool short list. Once again our scouting research worked wonders.
Plenty to choose from. Whoever united buy they overpay!! But probably a moot point.
Im talking about next season.
Also I don’t think either would be sacked until the summer now.
So what’s Jim’s end game here. Fishing for government funding…whether from home or elsewhere? He is in the oil business…

I think he is likely being fairly authentic in his stated goals. I think he is likely though just limited in his vision for how better run a business like this and so is falling back on the only things he knows how to do.

I assume it’s an attempt to look frugal.
Of course his net worth is 30bn
Just consider that for a minute. 30bn….Think of all those people you wish you could help.
No one needs to be worth 30m let alone 30bn.
