Does Sancho not after all this? Also at the very least Antony works his socks off every game. I have much more disdain for players who don't even put in the effort for us.

No one can reliably know that, some of us just pretend to
Look at this guy's resume

100%. Sancho may be moody at times, but Antony is genuinely a cnut. He's just motivated now because the manager likes him.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, think how Fred was a much better player for us now he's gone!
As for the disdain, I'm with you 100% on that
Sancho may have never had a good game for us and phoned it in from day one but Antony is a cnut because... reasons?
Antony may not be worth £80m but you can't fault his effort. What's with the anger?
Moody at times
He's lost 6 months of his career due to stropping because the manager said he didn't train well enough to make a matchday squad.
He's also sprinted back like twice in his entire Utd career.
Doesn't appear to be any interest in Edwards full stop,also wish we had got plans for both a DOF and Head of Recruitment
You're projecting now. We all knew Antony was a cnut from the day he refused to train with Ajax in order to force a move. We just hoped we could become our cnut.
Weirdly exciting prospect to have a CEO with some actual football background prior to joining United. Should have been the basic thing all along
Who knows. We might replace Arnold and Murtough with 2 people with top level successful football experience in similar roles and we’re actually going to start being a top team again
let’s hope
Yeah hopefully that's exactly what happens
I can't see Antony lasting under another manager, it's surely on his mind at the moment.
No I doubt it, but I do think he’s best in class
So Antony is a cnut, but our cnut.
Sancho is a cnut, but not our cnut.
I don't think Sancho has a personality.
I beat him to it! Where's my recognition!?
What about me!!!!
Yeah exactly, and I didn't think he would ever be beaten but Sancho and Antony have absolutely jumped ahead of him.
There we go!
Yeah, for me it's a definite positive and I'm very optimistic about the future. My axe to grind with the club even more than the Glazer ownership was the competence of the people in charge. They've proven over and over and over again for 10 years that they are absolute dogshit at everything except juicing commercial revenues. I was briefly hopeful about the future after Murtough was promoted thanks to Adnan and co brainwashing me but I'm convinced that the rot runs deeper now.
I wanted Ten Hag out too because he seems to be totally incapable of judging player quality (he managed Antony directly at Ajax and thought he was good enough for United and got us to pay 90m for him!)
But I'm willing to reserve judgement for a little while to see if the new sporting director + CEO can knock some sense into him and let him focus on coaching.
Wasn't Arnold the one that went and met up with a group of supporters at a random pub?
Yes that’s him
Yep. He was the one who also said back then that club will be much wiser on transfer market.
Antony has been shit this season, but last season he was comfortably better than Sancho has ever been for us. That's not to say that he was good enough, but Sancho has been consistently worse throughout his time here.
Stone latest tweet suggests Ratcliffe can't appoint anyone for next 6-8 weeks until he has passed Premier League tests
Are we expecting there to be a path/transition to full ownership set out when there is an announcement? If not, hard to be excited by any of this.
oh thats right, he blamed Woodward for burning money
Don't tell me that you believed in that PR BS?
But glazers can, surely? Bit of an excuse if you ask me
Think that's true. Hence Patrick Stewart as acting CEO, before Blanc takes the reigns.
I'm not sure about Antony. The only thing that might put Antony ahead is the transfer fee. Otherwise Sanchez' performances were worse, his wage was higher, and he had a worse knock-on effect throughout the rest of the team.
Sancho is probably worse though, yeah.
Which will be why there is an interim CEO.
I quite like Antony. I can see him become a really good player one day in the right environment..
Was Arnold the one who was snapped having a pint with a few United fans or was that Murtough?
The guy from startrek?
Arnold. They turned up at his house. He was cornered really.
Yeah. Turns out there's a load of cling-on's at the club that need dealing with.
The past is written, but the future is left for us to write.
So Blanc as CEO replaces Arnold and Mitchell as Sporting Director, is the latter a new role or is he replacing Murtough?
slow news day innit?
The club can though, doesn’t need to be him specifically.
