Joel Glazer + Jim Ratcliffe , a match made in heaven.
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.
shhhhhhhhh they might see this
For what they spent, it is shocking that they are giving up on Ashworth, rather than trying him in different roles where they also know they have problems. Have they even tried him as a goalkeeper?
The oracle has spoken
Need DOGE to look into this!
Let me get this straight.
They appointed a DoF and then realised that his role crossed over with another guy so they sacked him and are going to an appoint a new one?
And this all cost 30m?
Yes, but just imagine how much they saved by sacking Mavis in the gift shop.
The interesting thing is he may very well end up at Arsenal now as they are still looking for someone to replace Edu
Dan Ashwho??
Dan Ashwhaa???
Dan AshBLUDCLAATford!!!
In boring as shit meetings so I am just catching up on the vibe.
Utd fans slowly realising Sir Jim may not be able to fix it.
Ogden is spinning it as a positive development. They dont want a guy with a clip board who delegates, they want someone who knows all the best players in the world. Once they realized it was not a fit they addressed it, which is the big thing Utd have not done well enough over the years. Welcome to the new ruthless Utd. This is what they need to return to greatness.
Cool, please hire and fire me then Jim. I can start in April and if you give me my severance around thanksgiving that would be nice.
Sounds like Jim got them on a job lot and before you say think these people probably still make Man Utd money even though they are shit.
Meanwhile, they pay Antony £200,000 per week.
The mind boggles.
It’s probably the money they’ve just paid Ashworth and ETH.
Like I don’t blame them for feeling a bit pissed off. Their summer decisions were frankly atrocious.*
*But really funny.
