Promoting youth isn't really his job is it? if the players are good enough they should be promoted.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

That Roman Abramovic sidekick who ran Chelsea was good, she is the one I would want if she is not sanctioned.
For what it’s worth I don’t think he will be appointed CEO.
Fair, i don't think so either!
Oh no, not that guy again!
@Berbaclass do your thing.
We get leaks about the CEO likely not being Blanc, then this muppetiers bellend comes out with this nugget. 7-10 days is closing in on the minimum time needed for premier league ratification, even I could punt the same estimate for fecksake.
Preparing a bid is back, baby!
Well it’s fairly specific at least. Let’s see.
Specific in the sense that that coincides with PL signoff?
Its evident that INEOS hasn't got their way on this one. Else they would have hired Blanc. Which mean that this will probably be a Glazer signing or at least heavily influenced by the Glazers. Considering their rather conservative approach (ex hiring from with in and using the same blueprint in hiring CEOs (Former Uni of Bristol/PWC employees) then I doubt that the apple wont fall close to the tree this time round. We might be lucky enough to avoid yet another attempt of cloning Woodward but he'll be someone the Glazers know and trust. Which is why I believe that its going to be Gill ie someone who had previously worked under the Glazers but is still respected enough for INEOS to accept.
Its a shame really that the Glazers are so petty in not allowing INEOS to get their own CEO. I have my doubts about Blanc's football credentials but in terms of commercial/infrastructure side he's an utter beast. I am sure that the Glazers would have learnt to love him if he was given the chance
Have you thought about a scenario wherein Ineos may not want Blanc as United's CEO and are perfectly happy to have him just on United's board and continue as Ineos Sporting CEO , Just a food for your thought .
And Glazers have only given Sporting control to Ratcliffe so the notion that Ratcliffe can install CEO for United without Glazers input or Glazers to not have major say is quite fanciful to say the least .
Maybe you're right but its highly unlikely. Manchester United are INEOS biggest asset sports wise and its currently a mess. You'll expect SJR to put his best man in the job. Blanc is tailor made for the job as well. I can't think of a CEO whose got DIRECT experience in pulling a football giant with decades of history out of a mess while concurrently conducting huge infrastructure projects in the process. Sure Juventus and United were/are in shit for totally different circumstances but the end result is very similar (out of major tournaments, a squad whose ridiculously paid and a stadium that need to be built/revamped). Every reliable journalist believed that Blanc was set to become United's CEO up until a week ago. So something must have changed very recently.
Which leads us to your second sentence which I agree fully upon. However its a shame really. Sure the CEO is the majority shareholder domain, Blanc is INEOS man bla bla bla. But as said he would have been perfect for the job. You'll expect that the Glazers would see the wisdom behind slightly conceding on this as there's no one out there that I can think off whose got Blanc's credentials on what is sorely needed at United especially since the Glazers appointees (Woodward and his clone) had hardly covered themselves in glory. And believe me, I am not a Blanc groupie myself. I had shown my concerns about the man on the football side of things before. But the football side of things is unimportant at this point (especially if we hire solid football people to take care of them). The infrastructure, getting rid of the deadweight and finding creative ways in increasing profitability is far more important. That's were Blanc excel in.
In reality I think that this is a power move. If he wants to call the shots then he'll have to buy more shares. Which in some ways is beneficial for them but on the long term its not
It’s not been 4-6weeks since he purchased up to 25% though, only been 2 and a half weeks

Will be closing in on 4 within 7-10 days and it was mentioned by Ornstein or on an Athletic podcast that ratification could happen slightly earlier than that. Saying there will probably be material leak on who is likely to take certain positions just before signoff happens is not news. It's actually the exact type of mosiac theory bullshit you'd expect from muppetiers.
Oh sweet! Nice one!
May see a typical United last week flurry of transfer work (doubtful)
He has zero experience of working in this type of situation.
It doesn’t does it?
I thought we were another couple of weeks away from that at least. The end of January was my understanding.
No, it does. It's 4-6 weeks, and it could be less.
In 7-10 days we are close to end of month almost one month since the announcement. By that time we would fully expect more leaks and developments of who is likely to take over in their respective roles.
Apologies then I didn’t realise it had been that long.
Maybe the aggregator has sort of taken the comment out of context and sensationalised it a bit.
I watched his video this morning I don’t remember him saying that specifically but was only half listening to be fair.
What type of situation
No, mostly because ‘Rat’ isn’t a synonym of youth. But also because Fergie and Busby were the manager, not the owner - so while you could have ‘Ratcliffe's Rugrats’ or ‘Ratcliffe’s Rascals’ or even ‘Jim’s Juveniles’ it would be more likely to be ‘ten Hags tots’ or ‘ten Hags teens’.
Oh well, that clinches it for the experts here.

You know? This type
And bought Bebe. Shit manager.
Dong
What type is that
Would have thought this would be fairly obvious to be honest
And the fans don't really care about CEO - they care about people with the right experience in the right positions to influence and guide us out of this misery
Who knows.
It’s a phrase used by non-committal ‘debaters’ who don’t actually have a coherent point to debate (and can’t be bothered to just fabricate one like most)
Jesse Marsch is saying what we've been saying for the last decade as fans

It's been lost at menu
And what LVG, Jose, and Ralf have said plenty. Unfortunately fans brush it of as excuses by failed managers.
Its been lost at Menu? Is that why they all went down with food poisoning?
It’s that damn chicken again
It’s the menu every time. Ban chips, and it’s mutiny.
He also signed Bebe
