Always knew he was bad.
He says "I am the one" but his bid has come undone.

To be fair to the muppet man - and I have no clue how he’s doing it - he does seem to be getting the scoop on this one.
Seems he has INEOS brief. And it does look legit.To be fair to the muppet man - and I have no clue how he’s doing it - he does seem to be getting the scoop on this one.
Hardly a surprise. He's been a great source of information for a while. People are just very cynical.What a world, Muppets with genuine information.
Also the players do not have a cosy relationship with anyone. It will mean they have to be at the top of their game.Good for ETH to have to manage in front of a new sporting director and CEO. No baggage with sacking him if he keeps underperforming.
Would that mean Murtough , Arnold and Fletcher all gone ?
Yeah, I would imagine they'd still want their 'money man' there in some capacity.It's not beyond the realms of possibility that Arnold is kept on in some form but on the commercial side of things, he's done well for the Glazers in that sense so I doubt they'd let him go.
They must be confident of some serious TV money increases or a resurgence of the European Super League or maybe even INEOS getting United back to a really good standard.
Football regulator: An independent body will be set up to govern the top five leagues of English football. It will introduce rules on who can become the owners and directors of clubs, and will have powers to stop teams joining breakaway leagues.
There is no indication that Murtough, Arnold and the others wouldn't be shuffled into other roles.
You could even see this:
Blanc - CEO, Overall direction and strategy
Arnold - CFO, Financial direction and operation
Mitchell - Sporting Director, MUFC sporting decisions and personnel, including transfer direction.
Murtough - Director Of Football, MUFC footballing vision and direction across the academy, women's and men's teams
Honestly, i see this being the case, it could be a too many cooks situation or extremely robust.

A week ago they said face to face discussions were happening with Joel Glazer and INEOS execs (French guy and Brailsford involved) on the footballing structure at the club and Ratcliffe was set to join them.Whats news have they released that was not available elsewhere first?

This would be excellent. We’ve finally moving into the modern football structure. I am intrigued by this arrangement between INEOS and the Glazers. It seems like the Glazers have agreed to let INEOS control the football side with the reward being higher share prices in the future? (resulting in more $$$ when they do sell their shares?)
It feels like ever since Woodward left, they’ve slowly made the decision to phase out but they’re holding on to see if they can get value from the club being worth more than the figure Qatar were offering for everything.

Blanc's done it at previously unbalanced prestige clubs though, both in terms of success on the field and in terms of the 'coffers'. Even our foolish ownership shouldn't raise too many objections, though few of their continuously bad judgements surprise me these days.I would be surprised that Glazers will allow a Ratcliffe guy to be the CEO and the head of their organisation. Its unrealistic. Ratcliffe is only a minority shareholder.
Can see Blanc as the COO though.
I think even the Glazers reach a point where they realise if they want their cash cow to endure, they need to get the footballing side of a football club operating properly. Clearly the status quo hasn't worked.I would be surprised that Glazers will allow a Ratcliffe guy to be the CEO and the head of their organisation. Its unrealistic. Ratcliffe is only a minority shareholder.
Can see Blanc as the COO though. Besides we do have a world-class commercial operation so why get rid of Arnold? You will lose the network and personal relationships that got deals done.
Why are you assuming Fletcher? He’s not a decision maker.Would that mean Murtough , Arnold and Fletcher all gone ?
Blanc revitalized Juve, and as I understand it, was overseeing PSG more recently when they were starting to move away from the Parisian-Galatico model and towards more balance in recruitment, amongst other things. If anything, he's more of a sure fit - in terms of ensuring the machine starts working in unison and corporate side fits with drive towards footballing competency - than Mitchell is for the SD side of things....Don't know anything about this Blanc fella but the Paul Mitchell hire looks like a solid bit of recruitment. I assume that means both Arnold and Murtough get the chop.
What happens to Fletcher then? Does he keep his current role of 'technical director' or whatever it was, or do we create a new job title for him?

at risk IMHO, Arnold, murtough and the ladies DoF
Murtough has expertise in bringing through youngsters (and actually has a really good background in this) so he should relocate to run/oversee the academy in my mind. Kind of brings up the age old question under the Glazers as how someone with a background in something else ended up in a completely different role.Would that mean Murtough , Arnold and Fletcher all gone ?
The Muppetiers source is "trust me bro".To be fair to the muppet man - and I have no clue how he’s doing it - he does seem to be getting the scoop on this one.

It's the difference between a business mind and someone who just has a lot of cash. I'm not sure how confident I would be with things changing for the better with someone who's entire strategy, based on these bids, seems to revolve around just throwing money at the problem.He read the situation and decided to be flexible to get a deal across the line. What I am praising him for is the willingness to be flexible and also play the long game. Jassim could have done the same - prolong their stay whilst taking control but he chose to widen the wedge between the Glazers and the fans which set him in negative light from the get go.
Why do the Glazers use Zoom? Because their Teams are shite. Terrible, terrible joke“fecking zoom keeps cutting out Joel”
