Manchester United



Excellent article in the Times by Matthew Syed recently on Ratcliffe and how he manages to mess up every sport he gets involved in. All Blacks now suing him for unpaid sponsorship monies as well as Ben Ainslie accusing him of breaking all sorts of agreements.

It will end in tears at Utd. The parallels with us are quite instructive

Well, well …

 

Absolutely mental some of the stuff in these latest reports.

Took away free travel for staff to the FA Cup final to save £6.5k, only to sanction thousands on chauffeured cars for INEOS execs.

Fernandes offered to pay for the staff but wasn’t allowed to because it would have embarrassed the club.

Wowzer.

These are in a massive decline on and off the field.

Honestly think these are as far away as a 'top' side as i can remember. (Pre Ferguson)

Their squad is rank.

First time I’ve thought of Fernandes as respectable if true

It’s funny. As a club, they’ll always be one of the most shining examples in my lifetime of how great leadership can make a team so much greater than the sum of its parts, as it did consistently under Ferguson.

Now they’re showing the exact opposite under this shower. They could genuinely go down in the next couple of years if they don’t do something radical.
