Imagine if City got relegated and Pep ran here too
He’s really cashed out on that state though well done to him. Could be City, Doncaster Rovers or Burnley. He wouldn’t care as long as the UAE is giving him those wads of cash.Club Sale | It’s done!

He’s really cashed out on that state though well done to him. Could be City, Doncaster Rovers or Burnley. He wouldn’t care as long as the UAE is giving him those wads of cash.A lot. He's been there since 2011, having been at Barca for 8 years before that.
A City statement to The Athletic confirming the news read: “Manchester City Football Club can confirm that Omar Berrada has resigned from his role as chief football operations officer at City Football Group.
“The club understands his decision to look for a new challenge and he leaves with our thanks and best wishes.”
Rat, leave, ship, sinking
I don't have access to the article - what was his role at City?
Are we actually doing something right for a change?
So he’s had two decades of knowing Pep’s a wrong ‘un
CFO of City Group
Ok this is a great start
Very impressive

Chief football operations officer at City Football Group (which oversees City and the other clubs in the CFG portfolio).
Pep next? 
We are. Very excited for us. Well done United.
Cheers a slightly different role now for him but clearly someone experienced from a football perspective. Positive sign.
Let's just hope he doesn't cook the books at United
Or they were businessmen who weren't prepared to pay over the odds for a distressed asset, or they were state backed and not prepared to be held to ransom by a group of cnuts.
Either way apparently we should be glad we're still stuck with the Glazers leeching off us and their debt still around our necks.
I'm having a few bad weeks in life. This news, and your comment, made me laugh for the first time in a while.
Thank you
He certainly appears to be in demand - "The Athletic reported last summer that Berrada had rejected approaches for chief executive roles at a Premier League club, MLS teams and a major NFL franchise."
On the face of it, it looks like we’ve appointed one of the top CEO’s in sport which going from Woodward and Arnold is a million light years in the right direction
Credit to INEOS on this one.
Indeed. I don't think we can expect any quick fixes, but getting the right people into the key roles is the first step to the club clawing its way out of mediocrity. Positive news, for sure.
Holy Feck . Ratcliffe and INEOS aren't messing about or wasting time 
.
Guessing Braislford stepping away from the cycling means Ratcliffe/INEOS want him focusing fully on United in the short/medium term

They really aren't messing about. The last regime would take 12 months to make that sort of decision and then likely decide against it.Holy Feck . Ratcliffe and INEOS aren't messing about or wasting time

This is all well & good but will he be registered in time to play on the left against Newport?
I do think Ratcliffe’s age helps us here. No time to mess around just get the best you possibly can in key strategic roles.Holy Feck . Ratcliffe and INEOS aren't messing about or wasting time

He’s absolutely going to want to see United lift the PL within his lifetime.
I had a quick look on Bluemoon about this Berada move expecting the usual rubbish, but I think it's fair to say this has shocked quite alot of them.

They are pissed…
The same guys who kept doing press releases about many billions they had and how they were willing to pump said billions into Stadium, Traning ground and community infrastructure projects? Um, don't know about that one.
But as I said most likely state backed or bluffers, either way what we have now is by no means perfect but it's the lesser of two evils. And we can at least be glad the club won't be used as part of a state sponsored sports washing project.
Glad I could make a small difference! Hope things get better for you!
Alternatively they weren't really businessmen since they couldn't negotiate a deal that the sellers wanted in the first place, even if they did have the money.
Being loud in public, shitting on the current owners, and demanding an outright sale when the Glazers didn't want that, just screamed of folk who weren't particularly smart.
Hold on a sec, we havnt even prepared a bid for him yet? Calm your tits
wow didn’t see that one coming. So Blanc and Brailsford on the board, him as CEO and now the football men that have to come in. Looking good.

This is far too proficient for my liking.
We need something to take us back out of this positive state we find ourselves in.
BREAKING: Manchester United set to offer Victor Lindelof a new 3 year deal with the option to extend for a further year.

It’s like a tense horror scene but nothing seems to be jumping out. And yet you still wait for it and expect it.
This is unexpected but I like it! We’ve hired a competent person with a genuine reputation, from our rivals, with no one in the media seemingly aware of it.
When was the last time we did something as smart and efficient as this!?

Yessir
It is not just what they do, but how they do it. Shows the difference once competent and experienced people take over

Yeah this went completely under radar,long time since I could say that. May well mean Utd make appointments for Sporting Director and Head of Recruitment in a similar way
