I was wondering when this would come up again after the link with Cherki!
Shh, don't spoil the narrative we're run by clowns and he's just a Woodward/Glazer stooge.Looks like we're setting up a proper structure again. I really get the feeling Ole will be here for many years to come and slowly but surely take us back to top.
Nicky Butt seems to be doing a really good job
Finally signing hungry young players
He's doing a mostly good job, only thing I can't work out is why Sbragia still has a job.Nicky Butt seems to be doing a really good job
Was he vague or implying anything specific?Wish we could learn more about what happened at Monaco because this kid's father implied some really messed up stuff went down and that's not football-related at all.
Probably private but the club would know.Wish we could learn more about what happened at Monaco because this kid's father implied some really messed up stuff went down and that's not football-related at all.
Super vagueWas he vague or implying anything specific?
Lofti Mejbri explained the situation, claiming ‘serious things’ went on behind the scenes, which were ‘very difficult to live through’ for Hannibal and the rest of his family.
Claiming their relationship with Monaco is now ‘completely destroyed’, the youngster’s father believes it’ll be hard to ‘continue to work with people when there’s such a lack of trust’.
My guess is that they did something like with Elliot Kebbie at Atletico and had him living on his own after promising things to the family.

I've just read up on Elliot Kebbie, quite the story.My guess is that they did something like with Elliot Kebbie at Atletico and had him living on his own after promising things to the family.
Yeah, horrible stuff when you consider his age. Definitely highlights the need for honest brokers as agents for young talent like that.I've just read up on Elliot Kebbie, quite the story.

If United can get this kid and Cherki, the u18 group with Shoretire and Forson will be really talented.
What a horrible name to call your son
Then I have no idea what shady shit they allegedly did!Monaco has a dorm room for academy players and that's one of the reasons why some parents choose Monaco.
I see what you did thereWith him on the pitch, we're gonna eat them alive! (our opponents)
Let’s keep away from Hannibal, he’s going to eat us is probably more likely.Think its a fantastic name. How many kids get bullied at school because of their names? Would you bully hannibal?
Don't think so.
Then I have no idea what shady shit they allegedly did!
Not particularly sure, hence the allegedly. They must have done something, whether it’s as bad as he’s making out, probably not.You assume that Monaco actually did something?
This is not the point, point is how a club or a global organization like Manchester united should be operating. Can you imagine Apple appointing a novice as its CEO or JP Morgan, where Ed is from, appointing a non banker as their head of investment banking division.
A global club like United should have a proper structure and should only appoint experienced, most qualified and top of the trade people in our executive and management positions.
Yes the sentimental appointment of Ole might work, he is a capable person no doubt, yes, Ed could still learn from his mistakes and prove to be a capable CEO in the long run, yes united could still work for next 20 years without a Director of Football / Technical Director / Head of Recruitment positions. But this not how a club like United should operate, relying on only hopes, without any past evidence to back them. Like any global corporate we should be hiring and appointing most capable persons for the job.
I always find it a bit laughable when people get so caught up with Woodward being an accountant/investment banker. But then will seemingly completely unaware jerk off Daniel Levy on here about how amazing he is at making deals even though he also comes from an economics/invesment/property development background. Or Florentino Perez is an engineer. The chairmans of practically every club have some sort of background in finance or law but suddenly it is the craziest thing ever because Woodward is. Maybe he is poor at the role, but it isn't because he is an accountant.Apple could easily appoint a CEO from the world of fashion, food or any other industry. It happens all the time. This theory that our ‘structure’ is simply Ed Woodward is false. Manchester United have several ‘football’ people in various levels at the club. Ed Woodward is just in charge of the operation as a whole, not on a micro level. I tell you what would be ridiculous though, appointing I dunno, fecking Paul Mitchell as the CEO of Manchester United. The CEO will always be a person like Woodward. Or Gill. Or Kenyon. Basically, not a ‘football man’. Beneath them will always be football men. I doubt there is one ‘suit’ between Ole and Woodward.

It's a bloody great name. The family have Tunisian heritage as well. Clearly paying homage to Hannibal Barca.What a horrible name to call your son
This strategy is the way to go and seems like the club are definitely on the right track. Cherki, Mejbri, Emeran, Shoretire and Forson would potentially be a great team in the making.If United can get this kid and Cherki, the u18 group with Shoretire and Forson will be really talented.
