Maintenance man working harder than he ever has before
Not bothering to turn up for the women's cup final then.
Why?That's even worse
does he really give a shit about womens football? Or just an excuse to hire another private plane on the club account
He attended the women's FA Cup final last year.
This is the crux of it for me. I don’t think it’s even a case of ‘could’, it’s a ‘will’. No one here has enough information to say what the net effect will be, but there absolutely will be competent workers who either don’t want to, or can no longer work for Utd. Wouldn’t surprise me if the change is watered down significantly before it’s enacted.
Unless it's that they might make a managerial decision in the event of a heavy defeat....
Wembley prestige innit. Wants to be seen at the final. Probably doesn’t want to be associated with what ever is going to transpire at OT later.
I think also the success of the women has a lot more to do with the Glazers then Ratcliffe at present. That's not praise of the Glazers of course but Ratcliffe has only just come in so he's had nothing to do with it.
Ratcliffe probably just wants to go to the mens game as presumably he has stuff to do in Manchester and also not look like a bit of a bandwagoner.
Doesn’t matter if they “pumped” money, we had very little room to move within FFP without selling
Hey you, IT guy, why does it look so cluttered in the seats?
There's INEOS people at Wembley too. I wonder which game Blanc is at.
You’re being too kind!
They are responsible in the sense that they are the owners and have been when the woman's team has risen. They have enabled it to happen.You’re being too kind!
And yes, of course I know that they disbanded the team when they took over.
yes there were reports last year he charters 250k private plane on the clubs account for it aswell
Ten Hag's goose is cooked.Have they checked the chicken is cooked?
It's funny because when it was SJR/INEOS vs Jassim in the bidding of the club, one of the biggest sticks used to beat SJR/INEOS was that Nice have not performed well since they took over. Now they're in the CL, the achievement is being downplayed?
Yeah I know dude, I’m just ribbing you. Never give the Glazers any credit!!
They're not in the CL...yet. They're a point behind, with 2 games to go, to make the CL qualifiers.
Probably checking the clock cards
Getting in the CL should have been the minimum for them. It's not any sort of great achivement. It should be what's expected. If they were challenging for the league, absolutely they'd deserve praise but that's not the situation. Brest's achievement is far more impressive.
Unfortunately I expect next season to go tits up for them
Most likely, but incredible achievement nonetheless
Absolutely, their supporters should milk it for all it's worth
If they want European football worth anything next season, we need an interim for the FA cup final. Saying McLaren would stay beyond EtH gives us a nice way for the players to take it seriously as well, so I'd go with him.
@RORY65
Seems like this was the reason they decided to attend the mens game as I thought. Trying to get into Starmers ear to give us some funding for the stadium.
Its a cup final and the biggest event United have had so far this season, he should have been there and the fact he wasn't speaks to the women's team not being especially high up his list of priorities. He's a billionaire, I'm sure he could get a meeting with Starmer any time he wants one. I guess it's good though that they got to discuss this new stadium idea now so that Starmer has time to backtrack on any related policy before the general election.
Much as some of you like to pretend otherwise, women's football is still light years behind the men and that's where the money is.
Stop crying about it like it's so inconceivable.
One was a cup final, the other was a dead rubber. I'm not crying, as I said it just shows how far down the list of priorities the women's team is and that's a shame but it's been obvious since Ratcliffe's investment happened.
It should be there because the men subsidise the women's side which is fine.
We need a solid foundation (1st team men's success) to keep pumping money into the women's side. As for Ratcliffe's priorities, I never wanted the guy but he's here and he sure as hell is not pumping billions like Qatar would have done (irrespective of why).
