Seems our new CEO fancies De Zerbi as the manager.
Omar Berrada | Man Utd CEO
- Thread starter IRELANDUNITED
- Start date
Only thing I've heard about that has been a couple of journalists mentioning that De Zerbi is well liked at City and pondering whether Berrada will look at him.
Less concrete than a bouncy castle right now.
I think he made an appearance at the end of the Guardiola documentary last night
Did he mention that most of PED's trophies were won by cheating clubs?
Worth noting that Berrada's name does not appear in the leaked emails.
Also, in an all-staff meeting held yesterday, Patrick Stewart was asked questions about both the City and Barcelona charges against Barcelona and he assured staff that they had performed the requisite due diligence and were confident in the integrity and quality of Berrada.

I agree with the post you have responded to.. The question is if Ten Hag is a poor manager, or just having a poor season. Players are afforded this situation, if we believe that the manager can turn it around, we should do the same with him. I agree with the signings part, but that wasn't a job he was doing at Ajax, why did we allow him to pick and choose the players that too at insane valuations?! It definitely casts a question mark over Ten Hag, but I believe that he should be allowed time till the end of the season and if there's no marked improvement, then he goes. Under a stable structure and different club culture, he may ultimately end up succeeding as he has done previously.
These decisions are only successful in hindsight, doesn’t make sense to be patting ourselves on the back before he’s even started working for us. Same thing for Ronaldo, no one was saying it was an elite move when a spotty 18 year old one trick pony first arrived.
Dude must know a lot of people in the media if so many are praising this appointment.
Yeah hope he is not the Wan Bissaka of CEOs.
Not one United figure or fan is quoted in those tweets?
Happy that we have done something 'discreetly' as they say instead of announcing it to the world months ahead. Also that we have gone for an elite appointment instead of promoting from inside an system that is so obviously faulty and just hoping it will work, the cheap method.
Wowsers, best signing since teenage Ronnie! No pressure then.
I'll be honest, I'd pick Garnacho ahead of him in a five-a-side.
No, but people are talking like we're going to win the league now because we've appointed a new CEO. There's a lot still to do, it doesn't make sense to celebrate an 'elite' appointment before he's even started working.
Are these people in the room with us now?
No one’s talking like that at all.
Agreed, how many times have we talked about one player or manager turning us into title winners?
We've needed like for like replacements in terms of quality replacement we had for our squad at the end of the 2000s and that hasn't happened.
Agreed, but considering the absolute amateur hour that has ravaged the club for a decade this seems pretty promising. Still one hell of a long way to go though.
Surely the best CEO since CEOs were invented 
He's so good that I reckon he's also better than Sancho on the right wing.

He better has immediate impact or all these media outlets will go after him after all the praise
Not just the media! I`m predicting the inevitable ”What the hell does Omar Berrada do? thread will be started in July
Take your complaining to the manager thread. This is a major pick up and a positive development.
Agree with all of this. Regarding point 3, I think people are hoping we get such good people in other positions, and sign such good players, that they can take Ten Hag along for the ride. It won't happen. They also see it as another chance for Ten Hag to get another shot at it. I've never quite seen anything like it really, where a set of fans are so hellbent on seeing the manager succeed, even if it is proving detrimental to the club in the meantime. They'd happily sacrifice a potential 12-18 months of no progress just to see him have another chance. Ed Woodward wasn't wrong when he described Old Trafford as Disneyland, it's a managers dream come true being hired by us. Loads of money, blind support, huge backing in the transfer market....
If your club's Twitter doesn't do a "The Wire" inspired announcment video then you deserve a 10 point deduction.
Didnt we say the same when we signed your man from Chelsea to work on set pieces
When does he get sneaked in the back door with a blanket over his head?
Not anymore you will, not if you want to keep your job
He’s going to have a heart attack when he sees the contracts we’ve handed out to the dross.
Well that's it then if he speaks that means baldy is probably behind it. How many times have we signed players "he wanted" only for them to be an absolute disaster? If baldy is bigging up Omar like this that can only mean one thing: the destruction of the club. I'd rather him not saying anything about it honestly. Wishing the best my arse.
Huge opportunity for a documentary series here, ” The tears of Omar” ! Follow poor Omars slow but steady descent into madness as he hears about his predecessors ideas on how to run a football club.
Get the director of football sorted and the zoom calls will be busy in the background planning for summer.
Possibly joking but honestly it's crossed my mind. History has proven when we have 'beaten' City to someone they've gone on to either be awful, a massive waste of money or downright disastrous.
- Sanchez
- Ronaldo
- Maguire
- Fred
- Pogba
Yeah you handed WHAT contract to Anthony Martial,this must be a joke right
I don't understand how you can defend ETH for the shit that he put up this year. If you had an employee who started well in his job last year and his year, he isn't doing well and dragging down the whole team. Are you going to keep him around saying he did well last year? ETH knows exactly what he is doing. It is not working and everyone can see the result and yet he continues his way, hoping it will change. Has he changed our formation? Should he take more risk with younger players? Good manager will drop players until their form recovers, change formation, and recognize what type of players will do well in EPL. Football is his bread and butter, I expected better, but he is seriously well off the mark. He had 2 transfer windows to address our issues, but nothing has been addressed. He looks puzzled and lost at the touchline once we start losing. He doesn't seem to know what he can do to turn the game around.
Im not totally behind this just yet, City can offer way more money and challenging for trophies every season, have they lost staff that influential leave without a fight, to me it doesnt seem right, hope it does obviously
Do they offer more money? Even if they do is it really that much more?
We spend big money, he knows how to spend it well. Seems perfect to me
Pep not salty at all it seems
Pep v the straw man and the straw man is winning
