Club Ownership | INEOS responsible for the football side

Upgrades to Carrington are always welcome. Thank you INEOS for moving the club forward in the right direction.
I imagine they will be keen to settle now. This could backfire on Newcastle and leave them in a much worse position.
Oh no, not him again…
He has a huge portfolio of clients. Pretty much impossible to avoid.
So does he represent any managers or is it for players?
He's connected to practically the entire Lusosphere, so without knowing anything else it's really not worth reading into this too much
I think he's Mounrinho's guy or used to be.
Viva Ronaldo?
Come back for the final, score the winner, leave on much better terms
Think they burnt bridges on his United exit.
I think if they decide to keep ETH, next season has to be a good one, otherwise I think Ineos and Wilcox's reputations will take a massive hit.
Interesting to see what they will do but at this stage, I suspect we will bring in Tuchel. If it doesn't go well with Tuchel, the excuse can be that it's the start of a new era etc. - I just don't think the excuses are there for ETH.

I 100% agree. Imagine how stupid they will look if they keep him on (after this disastrous season) and then end up sacking him before Christmas? It will be another season unnecessarily written off.
I don't think it will improve significantly only because we have very injury-prone players and I don't think it will get better, especially with the many upcoming pre-season games and Euros
I tend to agree but the optics won't look good for them if they keep ETH and sack him mid season or if he sees out his last season like this one.
Those reports sound encouraging but I hope it actually materialises into something. We've heard similar stories before.
With the 'flexible approach' in mind, I hope that means a greater chance of cashing in on somebody like McTominay. 2 years left on his contract, 27 years old and had his best goalscoring season. Perfect time to sell.

Hopefully we'll be a bit more active on it than just "listening".
Mctominay is one of a large number of players in a similar scenario. Their contracts expire at some point over next two years and you don’t want to renew them so you’ve either got to start selling or lose them for nothing.
Have to break the cycle of renewing contracts and then being unable to sell.
Yeah, the difference with McTominay is we know there has been concrete interest before and we've already turned down offers of substance for him. He's probably the only player we could theoretically sell who might have added value to his fee this season as well, so he should be an easy sell.
Yes he should be easy to sell for a decent fee and would then help bring in more players. Just be interesting to see if likes of Lindelof and AWB will be sold and replaced. You don’t want to give new contracts to either of those, can leave for free next summer but not going to get much for them now and only so many players can be brought in.
I'm pretty sure Lindelof will be sold. Wan-Bissaka is maybe a bit more 50-50, probably depends on the fee.
The fact that INEOS have been prioritising management team hires and not knee jerking on the football side suggests it’s not going to be a quick process. Expect next season to be “steps in the right direction”.
I'm all for "steps in the right direction" next season. We have been repeating this forever, we must see improvement with modern style of play. We have had enough of counter attacking football with different variations from Moyes, Jose, Ole and ETH.
Next season should be reset again for rebuild. Bring in new manager and signs some up and coming young players with good attitude. Get rid of all the problematic players. If this can be implemented, it's already a good start under Ineos.
There aren’t really any standout managerial candidates that I can see, and we’re going to struggle to shift a lot of the players we want rid of. Add to that the asking price goes up for any player we show interest in. There will no doubt be a bit more frustration yet to come.
didn't know where to post this since it isn't Ineo related nor specific to United - but saw Crafton post this:
I guess the adjacent point I'm trying to make is that hopefully we get back on track soon - I know we still have some of our appeal - but with the prem growing in other regions - would be criminal to miss on potential new fans due to how poor we've been the last decade

As much of a giant that we are, I'd actually say we are a bit of a sleeping giant. If Ineos gets this club back on track and we start a consistent rise, a season or 2 of challenging for a title and then winning it our pop as club will easily eclipse any other. The one thing the last 10 years pf disappointment has done is primed this club to pop once we start winning big trophies again. What I don't think we can afford is to go another 10 years without a prem or champs league.
Things are moving forward, good news! Let’s pray that we get ashworth shortly after berarda and then get some of the rot out the first team
Blanc 
Wasn't there a report recently that said Jean Claude Blanc was keeping an open dialogue with Zidane..
You wonder if the Zidane links have legs and Blanc has a say in his appointment of becoming manager/head coach

Goodbye deadwood
I'm so delighted seeing this lot get their marching orders.
Glazer cronies.
