If Brailsford takes a role at United we will at some point face a massive sanction from the FA....it may take time....but it will happen.
This is football though. Cheating is practically encouraged. Brailsford has finally found his sport. Big Dave's inhalers alone should give us a sizeable boost next season.

Phil Neville’s comments were telling. A guy who was there and saw what went on once Ferguson was out the door.

Another delay before we transition from overwhelming majority Glazer ownership to overwhelming majority Glazer ownership? Bummer

I don’t think it’s even slightly surprising that we were a rudderless club directly after SAF & Gill left, the surprise has been how stubborn everyone at the club has been in the following 10 years to embark on a full restructuring of the club post Fergie.

The only reason these delays frustrate me is that those fake ITK cnuts on Twitter get given more time to keep spreading their lies and desperately cling into their fictional stories.

Conspiracy time. Alert, Conspiracy Time!!

Do we think it's being stalled on purpose due to the fixtures and they're waiting for the next few so the fans will have turned on EtH by then making the decision to sack him a little easier as there'd be less fan uproar?

The irony is that Phil himself was an example of United going wrong. A guy with no coaching credentials, no proven record, getting a job at one of the biggest clubs in the world.

But it's clear from his comments on recruitment, that these problems were there in Fergie's latter years as well. Which makes sense because aside from RvP, the recruitment was getting worse from about 2011 onwards.

Wait no apparently there wasn´t a single player on the market that had some value.

Exactly - Ryan Giggs's too - same general gist but he went into a lot more detail. Riveting stuff

If we're going to be throwing names about with no reference or link to the comments we're referring to, might as well get in on the fun.

Not a chance. It's taking a long time to complete because the Glazers are very thorough and are in no rush to complete the deal. It doesn't matter to them when it's done as long as they're happy every detail has been covered.

Think Arnold was backing the fake sheikh so no surprises he’s been launched out of the building.

Gone , same day as Blanc and Brailsford were at United.
The original press release from the plc stated Arnold would stay on until the end of December to provide transitional support. Probably means nothing, but I noticed it. I wonder what changed.

Probably nothing has changed, he’s likely to stay until end of December. This is just removing him from the BoD in preparation, and getting the paperwork tidied up before the holidays.

I’d hazard a guess and say ‘providing transitional support’ could be as simple as being on the end of a phone for Stewart if he forgets the Alarm code for OT or needs help firing up the fax machine……. :wenger:

Well, at least we know Arnold would be of more use than his predecessor when it comes to the fax machine...

He was involved in the cycling doping scandel in 2018

In March 2018 the Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee published the report Combatting Doping in Sport. Chapter 2 of the report, "British Cycling and Team Sky", focused on Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) gained by both organisations for the use of drugs on the WADA Prohibited List, citing the defence used by Wiggins and Shane Sutton that TUEs were used to "find gains" and put oneself "back on a level playing field" with rivals. The report alleged in particular that the drug triamcinolone had been "used to prepare" Wiggins "and possibly other riders supporting him" for the 2012 Tour de France, "not to treat medical need, but to improve his power to weight ratio ahead of the race". It concluded that Team Sky had crossed an "ethical line" by exploiting this loophole "to enhance the performance of riders
There were also calls in Parliment for him to stand down

Just a terrible, terrible performance by INEOS and Rathcliffe. They really shouldnt get anywhere near Man UNited. It takes them 14 months to buy a simple stake then itll take them 4 centuries to get a new manager and players. INEOS wil be the downfall of Man United. We wil relegate. I want INEOS OUT!! GO AWAY!! And get some decent buyer, a Don Draper REAL MAN that GET THINGS DONE! Glazers did us a favor not selling to these inept, erectile disfuctioning lot. My opinion.

I read that twice. I’m still none the wiser.

Liverpool are literally doing it. Probably City too. We're naïve if we don't give ourselves every possible edge we can.

Hey INEOS/Glazers, could use some good news after tonight’s game - any chance of a cheeky press release? :wenger:
SJR is looking to sack INSERT NAME HERE and will be looking to hire INSERT NAME HERE as a DOF when the deal will be finalized in the coming weeks.
