How would the club know though? Of course he wouldn't admit to participating in fraud in a job interview..
Omar Berrada | Man Utd CEO
- Thread starter IRELANDUNITED
- Start date
Some very weird takes on this..
1. You only get rid when there is better alternatives, - you get rid when results are not improving. Or it becomes untenable to be with. How comes we can bin Ronaldo mid season for bad behavior without alternatives but for a coach we need alternatives before deciding otherwise.
2. ETH hasn't become bad manager over night - - - Question should be When did ETH become a good coach? When? In Holland? Even De Boer won the league there. One champions league semi final run then eliminations in R16 is what makes one a good coach. Even Ralf Rangnick was Schalke O4 coach when they reached Semi in 2011. Even Spurs reached CL final.
ETH is 53 years old. Same age as Pep.
ETH has managed only once in a Champions League Semi-final game in HIS LIFE.
Pep has had 9 ( NINE) champions league appearances. Klopp has 4 (FOUR) Final appearances.
Good and better managers compete for big trophies consistently.
Ferguson had 3 finals in 4 year period (2008,2009,2011 finals)
Klopp has had 3 finals in 4 year period in Liverpool (2018,2019, 2022)
Pep is on a 2 Finals in 3 year period for City (2021,2023)
3. Given time, a better structure he will do better - another very weird take I have seen it on this forum.
If ETH had total control, who to sign, how to play, who to bin off, how to train etc and he was unable to imprint his method to the team he had total control over what makes you think he will do better when all or some of those powers he had are taken away from him.
In that, you had power to do what you wanted to achieve success you're unable, but now you will achieve success when the powers you had will be taken away from you.
Then how comes, United is the only team with 'bad structure'. You mean Manchester United is the only team which complains of bad structure in the whole world.
Manchester United has incompetent employees not bad structures. From management to manager to players competent employees at Man United are few.
In my own assessment ETH is like Antony. A player he signed. Looked very good from Netherlands but EPL is a step steep ahead of him. Nothing to do with excuses, but or if's. It's just Antony is not cut for EPL.
Same ETH is not cut for EPL. Nothing to do with ETH as a human being it's just the League competition demands and quality is abit to much for him.
ETH is in the bracket of Poch, Arteta as a coach. Who will never beat Pep or Klopp consistently and who by 95% chance will never win a league title as long as Pep or Klopp are around.
Sad but true.
Agreed. And we've tried all sorts of manager. The gormless one, the stubborn one, the proven one, the United way one and now the upcoming and talented one. None of them can be classified as a success. When it comes into players it's the same thing. We've tried from top class players, young players, players nearing their peak, aging proven players, etc. and the club is still nowhere it should be. Which means it has to be something else. The problems stem from the lack of general direction at the club. The club was just sort of throwing bucket of paints at a giant wall hoping the paint will cover the entire surface automatically. Now what INEOS is trying to do is to replace the idiots that kept throwing those buckets.
Individual members of staff are unlikely to be directly implicated. The club as a whole will be either be exonerated or punished. We will never know who did what or when, but most of the media's criticism if City are punished will likely be directed at the public face of the club - Guardiola (and, to a lesser extent, Soriano/Begiristain/Khaldoon Al Mubarak).
I'm not really worried about the FFP charges impacting him - it's unlikely individuals are implicated and I assume there will be clauses in his contract that cover that unlikely eventuality anyway
Even better would be if he can turn into whistleblower though

I'm open to hiring a new coach but it is extremely ironic that you mentioned "weird takes" then proceeded to post this.
1. Yes it would only be logical to change your manager if you believed a replacement would perform better in that role. The comparison with Ronaldo is weird, one is a player and one is the manager. The differences that answer your question are plainly obvious.
2. Whether Ten Hag is a good manager or not and whether he has proved it or not is probably subjective but your argument strongly seems to boil down to the fact that Klopp, Pep and Sir Alex Ferguson are all better than him.
Yes they are, I'm sure if one of them was available and wanted to come to us (and 30 years younger in Sir Alex's case) we would sack Ten Hag quicker than a hiccup. As would nearly any club in the world sack their manager for one of them.
Seems our new CEO fancies De Zerbi as the manager.
Only thing I've heard about that has been a couple of journalists mentioning that De Zerbi is well liked at City and pondering whether Berrada will look at him.
Less concrete than a bouncy castle right now.
I think he made an appearance at the end of the Guardiola documentary last night
Did he mention that most of PED's trophies were won by cheating clubs?
Worth noting that Berrada's name does not appear in the leaked emails.
Also, in an all-staff meeting held yesterday, Patrick Stewart was asked questions about both the City and Barcelona charges against Barcelona and he assured staff that they had performed the requisite due diligence and were confident in the integrity and quality of Berrada.

I agree with the post you have responded to.. The question is if Ten Hag is a poor manager, or just having a poor season. Players are afforded this situation, if we believe that the manager can turn it around, we should do the same with him. I agree with the signings part, but that wasn't a job he was doing at Ajax, why did we allow him to pick and choose the players that too at insane valuations?! It definitely casts a question mark over Ten Hag, but I believe that he should be allowed time till the end of the season and if there's no marked improvement, then he goes. Under a stable structure and different club culture, he may ultimately end up succeeding as he has done previously.
These decisions are only successful in hindsight, doesn’t make sense to be patting ourselves on the back before he’s even started working for us. Same thing for Ronaldo, no one was saying it was an elite move when a spotty 18 year old one trick pony first arrived.
Dude must know a lot of people in the media if so many are praising this appointment.
Yeah hope he is not the Wan Bissaka of CEOs.
Not one United figure or fan is quoted in those tweets?
Happy that we have done something 'discreetly' as they say instead of announcing it to the world months ahead. Also that we have gone for an elite appointment instead of promoting from inside an system that is so obviously faulty and just hoping it will work, the cheap method.
Wowsers, best signing since teenage Ronnie! No pressure then.
I'll be honest, I'd pick Garnacho ahead of him in a five-a-side.
No, but people are talking like we're going to win the league now because we've appointed a new CEO. There's a lot still to do, it doesn't make sense to celebrate an 'elite' appointment before he's even started working.
Are these people in the room with us now?
No one’s talking like that at all.
Agreed, how many times have we talked about one player or manager turning us into title winners?
We've needed like for like replacements in terms of quality replacement we had for our squad at the end of the 2000s and that hasn't happened.
Agreed, but considering the absolute amateur hour that has ravaged the club for a decade this seems pretty promising. Still one hell of a long way to go though.
Surely the best CEO since CEOs were invented 
He's so good that I reckon he's also better than Sancho on the right wing.

He better has immediate impact or all these media outlets will go after him after all the praise
Not just the media! I`m predicting the inevitable ”What the hell does Omar Berrada do? thread will be started in July
Take your complaining to the manager thread. This is a major pick up and a positive development.
Agree with all of this. Regarding point 3, I think people are hoping we get such good people in other positions, and sign such good players, that they can take Ten Hag along for the ride. It won't happen. They also see it as another chance for Ten Hag to get another shot at it. I've never quite seen anything like it really, where a set of fans are so hellbent on seeing the manager succeed, even if it is proving detrimental to the club in the meantime. They'd happily sacrifice a potential 12-18 months of no progress just to see him have another chance. Ed Woodward wasn't wrong when he described Old Trafford as Disneyland, it's a managers dream come true being hired by us. Loads of money, blind support, huge backing in the transfer market....
If your club's Twitter doesn't do a "The Wire" inspired announcment video then you deserve a 10 point deduction.
Didnt we say the same when we signed your man from Chelsea to work on set pieces
When does he get sneaked in the back door with a blanket over his head?
Not anymore you will, not if you want to keep your job

He’s going to have a heart attack when he sees the contracts we’ve handed out to the dross.
Well that's it then if he speaks that means baldy is probably behind it. How many times have we signed players "he wanted" only for them to be an absolute disaster? If baldy is bigging up Omar like this that can only mean one thing: the destruction of the club. I'd rather him not saying anything about it honestly. Wishing the best my arse.
Huge opportunity for a documentary series here, ” The tears of Omar” ! Follow poor Omars slow but steady descent into madness as he hears about his predecessors ideas on how to run a football club.
Get the director of football sorted and the zoom calls will be busy in the background planning for summer.
Possibly joking but honestly it's crossed my mind. History has proven when we have 'beaten' City to someone they've gone on to either be awful, a massive waste of money or downright disastrous.
