It’s not a silly point.
He’s being talked about as though he’s definitely a better owner - from a footballing success POV - than the Glazers, yet he’s actually less successful than them.
It’s very reminiscent of the Moyes hype imo… Someone who has absolutely no success in what they’re being tasked to do being spoken of as though it’s a given they’ll succeed and anyone pointing out that they’ve never done anything to suggest they’re capable of the task is laughed at or shouted down. ‘Groupthink’, I think it’s called.
Has anyone said that its a given than Ratcliffe and INEOS will succeed?
Does $300m of initial infrastructure investment and the plan to create a modern footballing structure with competent and experienced football people in charge seem more appealing than zero investment from The Glazers and making a football administrator your DoF?
I know you're on a wind up, but winning more cups than most other clubs, doesn't make The Glazers good owners.
£1bil net spend in 10 years with only an FA Cup, a League Cup and a Europa League to show for it. That fact alone shows they are just about the worst owners in football.
It’s also being talked about that the Glazers will just ‘hand over sporting control’ of the entire club to him with a minority stake.
Why would they do that when he has less experience and success than them in football!? Wouldn’t that be potential business suicide? What if he’s crap at it? It’s ludicrous. And it’s blatantly obvious when you actually think about it logically that they will ALWAYS hold veto power over him for that reason.
As we know, they want to cash out, either totally or partially. The man that is facilitating that wants sporting control. Quite honestly, i don't think they care as long as they get paid out.
As i said above, with a billy spent and little to show for it, maybe the penny has dropped that The Glazers don't know what their are doing. Perhaps they see others are succession with far less money spent.
‘Because Paul Mitchell’, seems to be the popular mantra, but then, why don’t the Glazers just hire Paul Mitchell?
They’re free to do so.
They could of, but decided to hire Murtough. Says it all about their football knowledge.
