Exactly. Commerical.
He was saying they prioritized commercial interests on personnel decisions, not sporting interests. That is not distinct from saying they have run poorly, but an explanation for why they have lacked sporting success.
That isnt what makes them commercial
It makes them up. They do enough traction in the market to keep their share value up. Regardless of them being shit on the field.
Hiring Ronaldo,Pogba were purely commerical decisions.

The bloke built to win one-day races who INEOS tried to turn into a GC rider in an era when there are several absolute guns trundling around.
Actuallyā¦that sounds like Utd since Old Bacon Face jumped shipā¦

It isnāt just post match, watching him on the sideline, he just looks lost, I wouldnāt say out of his depth but exasperated at what he is seeing.
I know Man U are a global club but surely their attraction will be waning due to how poor they are and what they are producing on the pitch, would they be able to fill a 100,000 stadium as surely with their current standing they wouldnāt be appealing to oversea visitors.
Didnt they also give him a huge contract and then decided to let him go 12 months later?
A supreme 1 day talent theyāvd completely screwed up on and ended leaving themselves a bit short in the GC department.
Whatās that echo I hear?

He speaks well. But not elite. He would have changed them. Well done on discipline though.
So, the only one who is blameless, knows football, and does not have a low IQ is Amorim who accepted a take-it-or-leave-it offer knowing or not knowing about a transfer ban.

Heās been ranting solidly for 36 hours at this point. Just moaning, calling everyone fucking idiots, claiming he knows more about football than Neville and Carra, demanding that INEOS spend big in January, etc.
Heās essentially making content for Liverpool fans.

Donāt tell anyone but I watched the whole thing and even rewound sections of it. Unwatchable stuff.
I think Goldbridge usually talks a bit of sense, albeit with the usual Manc folly of grossly overestimated their squad.
On this point, spending half a billion quid is the worst thing they could do. I donāt they could anyway, with how closely they skirt to PSR regs. But dropping another Ā£500m on this planless, directionless, feckless squad would at this point do more harm than good. I donāt care how fucking rich they are. There are limits to what they can do. They have just flushed Ā£500m down the pisser. They canāt keep doing that.
What they need at this point is a clear football direction. That needs to come before any massive spend.

Sure, this was the stick to beat with them in the past, but they finally have their football structure in place now after they prized the very highly respected Ashworth from Newcastle in the summer, so at least a big spend now would be done with a footballing plan in place.
Hang on, Iām getting an update in my ear pieceā¦

Kerkez interview with INEOS management and Amorim :
Kerkez: tell me. Why should I join Manu?
INEOS management and Amorim (in unison): weāre not going to get relegated!
Because we brought our staff back into the office and have got our wasteful non-football spending under controlā¦weāve turned a corner.
