No white text?!
None needed.
I think to look at Nice or Lausanne is too simple a comparison. Better I think to look at the staff linked like Blanc, Mitchell, Edwards, Ashworth etc and look at their track record.
I say that’s arguable too considering he plunged palace into administration just 8 years after buying the club and lost most of his multi million fortune in the process…..
Id also say it’s more of a hope than an expectation at this point. As fans we naturally want to believe the best about our club, and I mean, it couldn’t possibly get worse - could it?!
Amen. We agree on that at least. I guess we hope for the best but expect the worst?

It's simple really, look at Liverpool or Arsenal, what they did wasn't rocket science. Get the toxic players out and buy younger, hungrier players with a point to prove. Since Gill we haven't had a CEO who is on first name basis with the big players in the market, Blanc is and Mitchell/Edwards/Ashworth would be and that saves a lot of time because they can instantly judge whether a deal can be made or not and the DOF would be aware of a few potential replacements - that is a massive improvement on its own.I think to look at Nice or Lausanne is too simple a comparison.

Its clear these are people with a history of doing a good job in high profile positions. We can be confident in their experience, especially when compared to our current lot.
I also think it’s too simplistic to say Ratcliffe and Brailsford have failed in other sports so they will fail here. I’m sure they would argue they haven’t failed, but above and beyond that the scenarios aren’t remotely similar.

I mean, there's a big Scottish thing you've not mentioned which propped up the Glazers entry into football. That had far more impact than their sports background.
I'll take the old pub and a new ground please. Thank you.
Zero stress and thank you for replying anyway. As more details of the deal are released, it seems there’s also some sort of “minimum price” ($33 per share) the Glazers can “force” (ie exercise an option) SJR to buy their shares at (assuming a higher outside offer is obviously not in the mix as well - otherwise I’m assuming SJR would actually need to either match that offer or he can even sell his shares (& make a tidy profit I assume) to such a party.
The Glazers were smart enough, early on, not to interfere with Sir Alex and the existing CEO. They just maintained the financial parameters we had previously and gave SAF more power which he relished.
Yes, but that's not what I'm doing. There have been many credible sources you could have read regarding Jim and his foray into sport but you have chosen a guy/outlet that will tell you anything that will get them more clicks etc...
It's taken a few years though, which may not be afforded at United!
People need to go into this era knowing Simon Jordan is an opinionated cock, with an agenda paid for by the media.
This is key because had SJR been anything like the Glazers his mate would still be stinking up the place at Nice. The fact that he saw the need to change and changed it speaks volume especially as it was a mate, without the ESL saga we would still have Woodward in place and the Glazers wouldn't have given up the CEO position so easily if it was his head on the chopping block.
