Didn't mind the streamlining of staff, as we seemed to have far more than other clubs of similar size. Cutting bonuses of existing staff isn't a good look though.

GEFAFWISP Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 Anyone with a passing interest in cycling circa 2010-2018 should know full well that Dave Brailsford is a massive grade-A cunt, exactly the type of prick to rock up in chinos spitting Pardewisms at bewildered overpaid footballers.

Stifler Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 I remember before we got our takeover that people were on about him buying us, imagine him cutting more than what Ashley did. It does seem to be that he’s cutting more and more just for the sake of it. I don’t see how it ends well. I honestly think he’s came in with the intent to get a new NFL stadium built using public money, so that he and possibly the Glazers can sell the club for more than they put in. That works with INEOS, where the government will give him grants to create jobs. It’s going to be a much tougher sell to get the government to pay for a new stadium to create jobs that are harder to pin down, just so Manchester can have a new world class venue when it already has the Etihad, and the COOP live centre across the city. Not to mention that despite the state it’s in, Old Trafford is still a pretty big stadium in capacity numbers, and still hosts events outside of football. It also doesn’t help that he’s a Tory donor, and he’s going to a Labour PM who is a massive Arse, I mean Arsenal fan. The only way he gets it down is if Burnham gets it done for him, and the higher ups at Labour hate him because of how well he’s done with social mandates that they are walking away from. I’m not convinced he’s a Man Utd fan either. He has had access to a private jet when living in Nice, and even beforehand, yet he travels to London and has a season ticket for Chelsea. His INEOS has signed a big sponsorship with Spurs as well. Nothing so far suggests that his tenure is going to be a success, on the pitch in anyway. After publicly spitting his dummy out because we wouldn’t just give them Ashworth, he’s then sacked him just to blame someone after a poor result. He wanted to replace the manager in the summer, and realised that he couldn’t really afford too, and when he has been forced too, he’s now appointed a man purely to just try and spite Man City, after reports said he maybe lined up as their next manager. He hasn’t hit the ground running, and has quickly dismissed winning trophies as an objective. This after a summer of also publicly telling everyone that every player was for sale, and not being to sell anyone they needed too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
