The «best in class»-club

[Crashoutcassius]

I thought SJR would have quickly learned from his other two football clubs that they don't have the first clue what they are at. He would just leave the running of the club to the football guys and sign the cheques and reshape the financials and redevelop the stadium and make a huge profit. He seems to be meddling in every little facet of the club.

It is absolutely ridiculous

Is he the best in class though

Not sure about that. Looking at his former jobs, he was squad planner at RB Leipzig and technical director at Chelsea. But didn't even last two years in each job.

We are, and have been for a long time a plaything for wealthy individuals who actually don’t have much money, to have a go at playing owner with.

I totally disagree. I think we need to put structures in place to make good decisions over five to ten years and let that compound. If we try a quick fix we will fail spectacularly. I'd bet my life savings on it. Now we have several people that have never done the director of football all job before bar Wilcox for a few months at Southampton.

Actually I think you do agree more with me than you think as you criticise the others for the same reasons I criticised Ashworth, and I think that's all justified.

There is no quick fix that will immediately bring United back to the top. But the right structures need to be created sooner than later and I really didn't get the feeling that anybody involved knew how to do that. It all just felt as if they kicked the can down the road during spring and summer and the result is the current shit.
