When the shit hits the fan, and they've got the wrong man, that's Amorim!

I can’t stress this enough. I know some people slag FSG, but they have been key to our success. I’ve worked in organizations with both good and bad leadership. Having competent people at the top of your organization makes a world of difference on whether or not you’re successful.

It’s called someone repeating the truth so that I don’t have to pinch myself to check whether I’m dreaming.

I respectfully disagree.

If they sniffed blood in the water it would be an absolute frenzy…they care about money above all else, and Cokey McCokesniff getting punted would be one of the biggest football stories ever.

Unfortunately he would never allow himself to be challenged in such a way. I would bet my remaining nut he’d jump ship if it ever looked like being a possibility.

I have to admit, they do have a good sense of humour.

I’ve always been fascinated by highly successful sports teams/franchises/clubs that turn into complete dumpster fires. ManU are a train wreck you can’t take your eyes off of. I’ve probably listened to Goldbridge as much as any Liverpool podcast over the past few years.

Yes I’m a small petty human being but Schandenfreude can be hilarious

There is certainly room for A technical director and director of football, and they are toles plenty of clubs have without issue, but it all depends on what responsibilities have been given to the technical director. And possibly in this case, if the one with the ear of the CEO is going outside of his official job description and being accommodated. It’s possible that in the time it took to get Ashworth on board officially Wilcox unofficially covered the responsibilities of that role in a way that he and Berrada wouldnt let go of once Ashworth came in. I’ve seen situations play out in dumber ways that this.

Brailsford is the one that I questioned though. His role as Ratcliff’s right hand really shouldnt exist in a structure that already has in place all of these official roles and was the one that looked like to be the troublesome one.

To be fair, if Ashworth wanted the continuation of the playing style he would first have to answer “what was our playing under the last guy?”

Ashworth’s appointment was literally the only indicator of them moving forward in a football capacity. Him being squeezed out, possibly from both sides (the official structure and Sir Jim’s unofficial Ineos tinkering), is probably something that had Ralf and Jose sharing a psychic nod to each other.

Holy shit. It cost Utd 3m to get Ashworth from Newcastle, and he was on gardening leave for longer than he was in his position :joy:

Max Rushden made this point earlier on the radio whilst I was out running errands.

I cackled, and then had to explain it to Mrs SBYM. We are not on the same wavelength when it comes to Manchester Utd related bantz.

This is how you run a world class club. You don’t carry stragglers. United won’t be the first or last club to hire someone only to later realize they’re not up to the task. It’s no surprise he’s gone and I’m glad to see the change.

Someone’s a glass-half-full kinda guy!

Yeah there is no way to spin this. It is an enormous cluster fuck.

They are putting their executive team together in the same sort of smash and grab way that Eghabi put together the Chelsea squad - just go out and acquire a bunch of people with a good reputation and figure out what their roles are and how they fit together into a coherent organization once they all get there.

They’ve probably hired too many top management people and then found out that their roles overlap quite a bit.

That is not something you are supposed to “find out” about people you have hired.
