No, but offering him his first chance for CEO is probably one of the big reasons why he agreed to join us. Everybody needs a chance to grow professionally and we will be his chance to grow

technical director?
You usually find in these kinds of scandals, it’s very few people who are actually in the know, that’s how you keep a scandal quiet.
Everyone else is given budgets and roles, and just get on with it with the role they’re asked to work within.
Why?
Even if he didn't know where the money was coming from, he had it to spend.
Would he have got the players he did without a bottomless pot of money and City still languishing in League 3?
Take off those rose tinted glasses, his hands are tied by the parasites in Florida, parasites who promise the earth and deliver nothing except more debt.
He could be out of the loop, the people that are definitely involved are generally the CEO, CFO, treasurer and chief accountant.
it's pretty funny. I guess when you can't legitimately claim innocence, settling for "if we go down, we take Uniteds new CEO with us" is the next best thing
Going by bluemoon they are very unhappy. Seem to think he's done a very good job up until now and was in line to take over as the main man in the future.
Have you ever had a job with an ounce of responsibility?
Why not just give up and support FCUM then
Probably more responsibility than you can possibly imagine
Is this worth a cheaky red Welcome to Manchester poster? Revenge will be sweet when it eventually comes.
Not buying this idea he wasn’t involved in any wrong-doing with regards to the charges
How would anyone know that from the outside?

Small time.
Welcome, Donald.
I have supported this club with an MD who sold dodgy meat to schools, who had a rugby loving son, through relegation, being a PLC, season ticket holder, shareholder, and now being owned by parasites, that, like you gives me the right to express my opinion without being told to "go and support FCUM"
Why would I change my allegiance to FCUM because a minor shareholder has decided to appoint a former employee of a club with 115 charges around it's neck for cheating, a club which he helped get to where it is. Lets see if he can do it without the dodgy deals and bottomless pit of money?
If you don't like what I write then come up with a valid argument, not some stupid out of context remark that adds less than nothing to the conversation!
I agree that Murtough is probably gone (no matter the CEO tbh) but what makes you say that this confirms he's gone other than "Omar good, Murtough bad"?
Welcome fellow baldy.
At least I have the intelligence and capability to write a post that consists of more than one line.
Tell me who did you bribe to get ten likes ?
Great, then you’ll know that you get a budget and a remit. You have absolutely no idea where the money is coming from and you’ll know that your bosses always tell you everything is legit, even when it isn’t. In that position it’s not your job to ask questions. You do your job to the best of your ability and then you go home, and that’s how you keep your job.
Not sure why it’s so hard to believe. The more people know a secret, the harder it is to keep it under wraps. Considering no one from City has ever spilled the beans suggest only the very top brass know anything about wrongdoing. Probably just the owner.
My brother is pretty disappointed so that's promising.
I did a lot of stupid shit to get them. Mainly with perfectly crafted one liners.
Fixed it for you.
TBH I read some of them and was amazed at how poor they were.
Has anybody reputable said he's liable for any of City's charges?
Welcome to the club Omar. Can't see I know much about the fella but seems to have a good cv in terms of being at clubs during successful periods. Looking forward to seeing what impact he has at United. Best of luck.
Thanks for agreeing with me, and substantiating my argument, if he hadn't had the money to spend, it's questionable he would have got the players he did.
It's irrelevant if he knew where the money was coming from.
If you play FM. try taking a team from League 3 to the top of the tree, winning everything on your way and see how long it takes, (if you don't get the sack)
Then do it on cheat mode and compare.
Hard to say if individuals below the senior executives knew what was going, watched a guy on Sky the other day, he implied that the owners could be forced to sell, but he didn't actually say it.
what is hard to believe is how anyone could know either way
the only people who can say for certain are the people that did it, and obviously they are not admitting to that
It's exciting but I have slight concerns about the investigation into Manchester City and if this individual will be impacted. I fear we could walk into a similar situation as Tottenham did last year.
Honestly City getting into any amount of trouble with this is worth sacrificing a CEO for. Otherwise we have insider info into 115 charges and we can use the same business model.
Watch how much more coverage City’s 115 charges get now it can be connected to United. 
I don’t know, no one on here does. But if I had to guess (given what’s alleged and the sheer size of it), I’d say it was a very small group of people, maybe the CFO and CEO.
The COO could be told “here’s our revenue, here’s our budget” and would understandably go “ok, fine I’ll work with that”.
Again, I don’t KNOW, it just seems possible from my financial career/understanding of businesses.
The flip side is he was COO of the group not just City, that should’ve brought him into a narrower upper echelon.
50/50. Let’s max his use until the court case
The Mail, MEN and Sky will be desperately trying to blame us nowWatch how much more coverage City’s 115 charges get now it can be connected to United.
Gawpy Glazers “we’ve got some ideas about senior appts”
Ratcliffe “what? Like Arnold and Murtough who presided over the last few years, the silly buys, the stupid fees, the stupid wages? It’s ok, I’ve got someone in mind”
Avram “who?”
Ratcliffe “Barreda from City”
Avram “lol, he’ll never leave”
Ratcliffe “it’s done. Here’s the press release”

Someone's been reading redcafe.
114 of them were exclusively down to him, heard from a mate
