Smart move by releasing this midway in a semi-final. No biggie…
Yes, but it's still interesting they felt the need to make this change for the next few months instead of keeping the interim guy in place until then
Why these two?
Blanc slate
Why have the old guard who wasn't involved in hiring the new people attending all the meetings and generating confusion during such a critical period when we're lining up new signings

The Glazers sure are handing an extraordinary level of control over to SJR for owners who intended to stick around.

Sounds like it's because the interim guys were resistant to some of the changes INEOS were making according to Crafton's latest article and putting 2+2 together.
Come off it. You think that we’ve hired a new CEO (Berrada) who’s starting the job in July, but we’re going to let Blanc make a decision on the new manager?
He’s a placeholder.I thought Stewart was still CEO until the end of the season, then Blanc until Berrada came?
Indeed. I stand corrected.
Stewart left because Ratcliffe wanted to end work from home. Stewart was rightly against it and had to leave. The whole back to the office is just a ploy to get workers to leave (without paying compensation) before they start the layoff process.
Shame it's not the manager.
There are loads of industries more suited to work from home if that’s what people want. United is a football club and all of these jobs exist to support a team of players and coaches who can’t work from home.
Will be interesting to see if this cold, corporate culture that INEOS are trying to implement will pay dividends.
Not quite. He said that Valencia was a good step for Gary to be fed into the England job. He wasn’t asked to take it, but told that if he did well he’d likely be groomed to take over.
Absolutely redundant reasoning when most of these jobs will invariably be low paid (relatively) office jobs who will never see, hear or come in contact with anyone who has any impact on how the team plays on the field. The fact the players don't work from home is totally unrelated to whether admin staff should.
You've missed the point there. I was more referring to how accommodating the club was from top to bottom and treating everyone at the club like a family.
To be fair, they should have done this a decade back instead of using Woody as a proxy. It would have been a win-win for everyone.
Agreed, it's a bullshit move. Made even dumber by the fact that there is apparently no longer enough office space for everyone as it was adapted for remote working, so that has to now be undone. At least that can be paid for by those coach fares!
Agreed. Shows how poor businessmen they are they couldnt see this. Success on the pitch makes you better off it. They wouldnt have been in this mess now.
If people go and read about the history of INEOS with trade unions, workers rights etc then they are going to be in for a shock regarding 'underhand and scummy' business practices
For anyone with half a brain cell, Ratcliffe being a pro-Brexit supporter should be enough to tell you what kind of 'businessman' he is.
Malcolm was the business rottweiler, im certain he would have got a grip of Woodward burning all of the club's money. The kids dont seem to care as long as they get paid
