Pretty sure he's on the board as part of the INEOS group meanwhile Berrada will be the CEO of Manchester United.

As others are saying I’m surprised United have pulled this off
So wonder if it is because of the impending charges
If Pep Guardiola leaves city this summer and we part ways with Ten Hag, you know that will become a link

'Rag'
'He's a snake'
'Rag'
'Is he jumping ship because of the charges'
'This means nothing'
'Rag'
'This is awful news, he knows the blueprint to our success'
'Man takes a better job, who cares'
'They just want to be us'
'Rag'
Clearly been thinking about how he'd handle things at United for a bit:

Mainly “turncoat” “oh dear” “rag ****” “jumping a sinking ship?”
Mix of panic and delusion.
Omargawd big news
Smacks of SAF era poaching the best from our biggest rivals. Well played INEOS you Wiley buggers, well played indeed!
Sounds like we’re bringing some serious football minds into the club.
Excited for the future!
Nah, he’ll sign us Haaland. Blanc is signing us Mbappe
In before City are charged and he's forced to resign as a result of the backlash.
But no, it's a big statement and we'll hopefully get the right football people below him.

Huge. Credit to INEOS for not only doing it but the way it was done completely out of the blue (pun intended) .
We’ve always gone on about City and their structure, I don’t think anyone ever thought we’d be getting one of the key people responsible for turning them from a club with money signing players like Robinho to a club that actually built proper teams that lasted and were rebuilt without anyone ever realising.

I wonder if City put an NDA on him given he would probably know quite a few things about their shenanigans they might not want airing in public.
Best thing about City.. he is the reason behind their success.. incredible recruitment ... maybe
There's a thread for Blue Moon nonsense. They're a bit rattled:

What excites me most is how out of nowhere and seemingly efficient this is. Good sign for the rest of our footballing structure in the future.
I clearly haven't been paying attention as I don't think I've heard of this guy.
Sounds unbelievably promising.

Won't join until summer.Tweet

Also, is the Welcome to Manchester billboard up?
Let's say he genuinely isn't jumping ship before some shit goes down at City. Why would he leave them to come to us? Could it just be a simply great contract we have offered him, one that City refused to match or better? Money is hardly an issue for them is it?
It's interesting how people move from one organisation to another.

I mean yeah that’s the most obvious scenario in the world.
The fact he’s not serving any notice period is interesting too, presumably when someone is leaving for your main rivals you don’t want them to have access to everything about the club and involved in high level discussion and decisions.
Are you not worried of getting someone who should be well aware of City's cheating ? Surely his name is bound to appear around those charges and switching jobs should not be saving him if he knew things.
I think it's the opportunity to be top dog at United. He'd be waiting years at City for the top job and he may not even get it even when the opportunity arises.
Men are ego and status based. Dominance hierarchy.
Also he might relish the challenge of bringing United back to the top. Also it's impossible to fail. We can't go any lower. The only way is up.
I'm sure he's well paid at either job so I doubt it's a factor.
That's my opinion.
I think it's great news.

Great news! Seems like we're actually trying to get our shit together.
Same. It has come completely out of the blue, no leaks to the press for months. Efficient.
City have been charged on quite a few counts IIRC.
Given he headed up International Business Development and then Football Ops at City since 2013, there’s no way someone so senior can be a whistleblower.
So he’s either convinced INEOS that City will be found not guilty/guilty of minor offences, or INEOS has shortsightedly embroiled themselves in City’s legal case if they are heavily punished.
It's the opportunity to be CEO I think attracted him. Also the challenge.
Because whether most of this forum has forgotten or not, we are still football royalty and second really only to Real on a global level, it's a massive step for him especially if he brings us back to the glory days.
No one give a shite about City at the end of the day, and he probably knows it.
I cant say I have ever heard of this guy although from the way some City supporters are responding to this news he must be a decent aquisition.
I have no idea whether this is great news or not, but I'm going to act like it is. Suck it City.
Yeah, odd to see such wide celebration/assumption that this means he’s fleeing the ship when us either having our new CEO heavily implicated in cheating almost as soon as he starts the job, or our board assuming the charges against City will likely come to nothing are equally likely.
Seems mad to tap up any of that lot unless you’re pretty confident they’ll get away with it, or you’re just not bothered. Neither seems intrinsically great to me.

I could see Pep leaving City in the summer but he won't join United.
I think he'd view that as wrong.
I could see him go to Italy if Barca job not available.

Watching documentaries on Best and comparing him to Messi, eh? He's had an MUTV subscription for a bit, right? Guess its not quite the same watching documentaries about Michel Vonk and Uwe Rosler.
I am slightly lost in all these roles. How many CEO's we will have? Blanc, Brailsford, Berrada...
