United promise "relentless" and "decisive" action to achieve success

[Yakuza_devils]

We'll start next season with mcfred in the midfield.

This is my worry too
This window is not only about spending big. We are supposed to have a new football structure already in place with new scouting system. We need to sign quality players that suit the style of play and not only spending big like drunken sailor for the last few years. Ole alone wasted about 400mil.

Hope Murtough and team can make real difference.

 

[Roboc7]

This is no different to all the nonsense that gets repeated in these forums all the time, just words with nothing to back it up.

At the end of the day Arnold and Murtough are just benefitting from not being Woodward. The tough part is at some point they have actually do something other than just say they are not Ed. Sooner or later all the praise for people leaving on and off the pitch (most by choice) will wear off as well.

They don’t seem to have put anything in place in terms of a stronger recruitment for this transfer window and the Rangnick appointment was a disaster short term and looks like his role longer term will be pretty pointless. Hopefully they are more successful and if not more accountable than Woodward ever was.

 

[DevilRed]

Early days, but at least arnold seems to relying on footballing people for the footballing decisions.

Not bring his mates from uni to do the important jobs.

 

[therealtboy]

Don't talk about it, actually do it

Missed the part where ten Hag was appointed manager?

 

[Catt]

People moaning for the sake of it

 

[Nytram Shakes]

Arnold: We promise relentless decisive action to protect our jobs , bury our head in the sad about how bad the squad, culture training and hold set up is. Not admit that we have been part of the club wasting over a billion pounds net in transfers over the last decade. But hey we have employed the manager the fans wanted so we are great now and everything’s fine.

 

[soapythecat]

All this talk in the press of overhaul and new players. I honestly think come September we are all up in arms as we’ve signed just 2 new players.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Meanwhile our new coach and dof have a,plan to maximise potential of THIS squad..
Ok, who is crazy here?

 

[Bilbo]

How about everybody just decides to give them a chance to deliver? Might make this forum more bearable to read, at least for a while

 

[Hoof the ball]

Interesting. This announcement came after the share price plummeted below the 2012 low.

 

[devips]

This has turned out to be 'moan all you can' thread!

 

[marktan]

I too, promise relentless and decisive action in my pursuit of Margot Robbie. Watch this space.

 

[AndySmith1990]

Not arsed about what anyone at the club says anymore. I'll wait and see what happens and judge based on results

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

[arthurka]

Shouldn't we give this guy a chance? He managed to sell the project to ETH so at least he has done something right.

 

[Bobade]

Completely agree. We are already seeing pretty big changes. For all we know, we are close to closing a few deals for players. We've got the manager most of us wanted. Let's see what happens. If it's a shit summer, I'll whinge then.

 

[DavelinaJolie]

Maybe I'm just overly optimistic, but I don't think just because he is mates with Woodward that it means he has the same ideas how to do things. Maybe he is making changes he believe will work, and trying to make the footballing side self-sustaining so he isn't involved in it like Woodward was.

Time will tell, of course.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

United: champions of gas

 

[SteveCoppellFan]

We are going to having a cracking transfer window and then we are going to have a cracking season with great football and loads of great results.

I'm not willing to discuss anything else.

 

[Red4Life_#7]

'Decisive' actions speak louder than words!!!

 

[arthurka]

Agreed we will whine and whinge together at the end of the summer.

 

[VorZakone]

Don't trust anyone with 2 first names.

 

[Hoof the ball]

Richard Arnold speaks right ahead of the opening of the NYSE on Earnings and Revenue day and then this happens..........

All time low.

 

[DavelinaJolie]

At the end of the day Arnold and Murtough are just benefitting from not being Woodward.

Are they? So far the range of opinions don't seem to suggest that. More to the point, shouldn't we be judging them on their own merit and actions, and not by Woodward's, anyway?

Woodward isn't the man in charge now, so it's pointless bringing him into it. All we can do is give these people time to make the changes they see fit and hope it works. I see some segments of the fan base unwilling to even do that and I'm not sure what the point is if you just expect everything is going to burn down.

We can't treat every new partner with cynicism because one fecked us over in the past.

At this point all I want for Christmas is a stadium thaf doesn't leak.

 

[TsuWave]

So where’s De Jong, Raphinha/Antony, Timber, Lamptey/Livramento and a striker then?

 

[K Stand Knut]

The easiest job in world football this guy has as long as he follows through with his big words and promises!

If he doesn’t, he’ll be the bad guy within 12 months and might as well move on

We'll Arnold our CEO is Woodward's buddy from his accounting course at Bristol uni, and the other one has been around for a while and clearly not done much to stop our dreadful transfers over the last 3 or 4 years. Doesn't really inspire much hope.

 

[OrcaFat]

Hot air. More of an admission that we’ve not given a shit about footballing success for ten years.

 

[Ekeke]

Don't talk about it, actually do it

This.

 

[WR10]

To be fair, it seems he's off to a rampaging start with that statement. Many deep roots have been uprooted. Long may it continue.

 

[VP89]

To be fair what do you expect him to say?

I want him to say we will do what other clubs dream of doing

 

[groovyalbert]

Only thing that seems relentless and decisive this far are players ruling out a move here in favour of current top tier clubs.

 

[UnitedSofa]

99% of the replies have said “do something then”

….& yet there’s been huge backroom changes over the past 2 months.

Funny how people forget

 

[Tarrou]

every thread like this is the same whinge-fest

 

[OrcaFat]

True.

But honestly the crap coming out of our boardroom for a decade has been a sweet cocktail of ineptitude, delusion and deliberate deception.

The trick for fans is to enjoy it in spite of the feckers.

 

[Plant0x84]

The replies here baffle me. Arnold was answering a question at the forum. What would you lot have preferred he said?

Id argue the club is being decisive with all the changes and departures on and off field.

The proof is always in the pudding of course but what more do you want?

I’m with you. Behind the scenes has seen big changes and obviously the coaching staff and playing staff will see big change too. I’m actually kinda impressed with Arnold and Murtagh so far. They have clearly identified areas that require attention and seem to be ‘on it‘.

 

[Plant0x84]

Woodward and Judge are gone. We should judge the new guys on their own performance, not tar them with the previous buffoons.

 

[Green_Red]

Its like Denholm Reynholm has taken over the club. "Our decisions will be decisive! And we will make them! We will be succesful at making decisions!"

Just shut up and get on with it and stop talking to the gutter press. Focus on what happens inside the white lines on that pitch every time we play.

 

[SWE-Chucky]

To be honest, the money has not been the biggest problem for us, its more how we have spent them.
