Why not Ashworth? I assumed he was the favourite
He's hinting at a surprise name, as was the guy in the thread earlier.Why not Ashworth? I assumed he was the favourite
It's the muppetiers, so I wouldn't pay attention to it.Why not Ashworth? I assumed he was the favourite
Last time we took in an ex-Liverpool man, it was Owen right?Tweet

This gets said multiple times whenever the team isn’t doing great, last year they were the best thing since sliced bread and it was “great to have a likeable squad again” after the Pogba circus and co.As sad as it is to admit it, following along with the CEO appointment and looking forward to who comes in as DoF, head of recruitment etc. and the keeping up with the process of the Ratcliffe rebuild is all I have any interest in as a United fan at the moment.
Never before in my life have I been so completely detached from the first team. Genuinely aside from Martinez, Mainoo, Gsrnacho, and Hojlund I want rid of them all and am looking more forward to the mass culling of the squad and staff than the rest of the season.
Aye, don't want any neppeotism at the club.Neppe would be meh
Wouldn’t any CEO anywhere be involved?I’d be surprised if it is Ashworth given the appointment of Berrada. You’d think Ashworth would want complete control on the footballing side but surely the point of hiring Berrada is he’s at least somewhat involved.

In making football decisions? I don’t think so.Wouldn’t any CEO anywhere be involved?
I mean what’s the basis for this view?I’d be surprised if it is Ashworth given the appointment of Berrada. You’d think Ashworth would want complete control on the footballing side but surely the point of hiring Berrada is he’s at least somewhat involved.
They don't have a clue as usual. But at least admitting it here.
You know most things. What can you share?They don't have a clue as usual. But at least admitting it here.

That I don’t see Ashworth fitting with Berrada as explained in the post? It’s an opinion. I don’t think we’d go with a CEO with a footballing background if we were about to give Ashworth the full autonomy on the football side of things I suspect he’d want. We shall soon see though.I mean what’s the basis for this view?
He also says he doesn't know. It's a nothing tweet.He's hinting at a surprise name, as was the guy in the thread earlier.
I said they'd be names that haven't even been mentioned all along. Easy this ITK lark. Already one down with Berrada.You know most things. What can you share?
What’s the opinion based on though? Not sure what it’s based on tbhThat I don’t see Ashworth fitting with Berrada as explained in the post? It’s an opinion.

To be fair not knowing who it is doesn’t mean that he hasn’t had any indication of who it isn’t.He also says he doesn't know. It's a nothing tweet.
I assumed a CEO would oversee both sides.In making football decisions? I don’t think so.
I’m sure he will. Otherwise why would it matter if he knows football or not? This is also why news has come out about INEOS having there thumb in more than just the football pie. It’s all interlinked and the CEO is ultimately responsible for the whole club.I assumed a CEO would oversee both sides.
that ... almost sounds like a functional football club. I'm a United fan, please tell me how to handle thisIneos wanted Berrada in place first so he could have some valuable input into the choice of director of football given their strong belief that the two men and the manager must “share a vision” and work as a “coherent whole”.
Wouldn’t someone like him enjoy working with a CEO who knows football as well?That I don’t see Ashworth fitting with Berrada as explained in the post? It’s an opinion.

A lot of people at that level will think that he knows more or can do a better job than his boss -- or potential boss in this case.Wouldn’t someone like him enjoy working with a CEO who knows football as well?
Yeah I could see a surprise appointment for this position too. Sounds like Berrada will be consulted as many predicted on here
Yes, and if I remember correctly, it's common practice and would have been illegal even if it didn't came from United. Others here will be much more knowledgeable about it than me.Is it true that the 25 mill that was paid to put through the sale to Sir Jim came from the United coffers? The Glazers apparently didn't pay it, so that is 25mill that could have been in the transfer fund
Was always going to be the case which is why the Ratcliffe offer which was for only Glazer shares was completely unfeasible.Is it true that the 25 mill that was paid to put through the sale to Sir Jim came from the United coffers?

He'd be crap in today's game anyway.
Imagine if prime SAF had been at the club since 2013. If he had been given the £900m or whatever the club has spent since then, he would have won far more than the 1 league title that Klopp won.Since Klopp announced he was jumping ship (and couldn’t be arsed with a rebuild) I keep hearing this narrative that Fergie would be eaten alive by Klopp and Guardiola. One of Fergie’s biggest strengths was his ability to adapt.
Especially as he only seemed to be getting better.Imagine if prime SAF had been at the club since 2013. If he had been given the £900m or whatever the club has spent since then, he would have won far more than the 1 league title that Klopp won.
Pep and City definitely wouldn't have won the same amount of domestic trophies as they have won currently.
SAF adapted for 30 years, football changed a lot from 1985 to 2013. Suggesting he wouldn't adapt again with an absurd amount of money to spend is ludicrous.
I feel like you are confusing the roles. The CEO reports to the board, he is in a commercial role. What Manchester United and the Glazers have failed to realise in the past is that the commercial and Football side go hand in hand and ideally in modern structures you want a CEO that understands that and has experience there.That I don’t see Ashworth fitting with Berrada as explained in the post? It’s an opinion. I don’t think we’d go with a CEO with a footballing background if we were about to give Ashworth the full autonomy on the football side of things I suspect he’d want.
