The interview was great, is it a bit too good to be true?
In particular I like the consistent playing style comments.
I hope we just sell Mason Greenwood, mind.
I’m pretty sure he genuinely is excited to own such a world famous club, he knows right now he’s on a charm offensive, he said 2-3 years to challenge, that means he’s in a huge hurry.
He’s been very clever with the words used, and quoted; “since we took over the form has improved dramatically”, the words he used, he’s clearly going to be present for as many home games as he can, probably 9 or 10 a season, he’s a tax exile after all!
Sir Jim considers the stadium and infrastructure his main tasks, closely followed by the new Directors he puts in place who will have a clear mandate to create a wining legacy on the field and in the recruitment arena.
Interestingly the £237m put aside for a new academy supposedly was not what Sir Jim was hinting at, he was far more concerned about finishing the season strongly and building a new stadium. He even remarked Carrington was more than suitable as a training complex.
This summer transfer window will tell me and most United fans whether a 2-3 year plan is truly feasible or the more likely time span of 4-5 years to really see United wining a PL or going deep in the CL again.
Sir Jim first interview was an excellent start but let’s see what happens in the summer, I have a feeling this transfer window will be very different to the normal ‘Just Monitoring FC’
), state funding, Greenwood, Glazers, future investments etc.) Might be all billionaire populist words but he sounds believable.
