Last summer’s transfer window and his appointment of the physiotherapy and medical science teams are questions for me. Wish I had a job where no-one got to question performance for five years.

I don’t really know what he does tbh so it’s hard for me to say he is or isn’t doing a good job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had a job where no-one got to question performance for five years. Fact of life, that is (probably) how long it will take to achieve what he and our owners have in mind for him. We do NOT know what individual items of work he is responsible for so far, we may "choose" to speculate but we do not know and probably never will. Long term thinking/planning/achieving is so different from current/short term thinking, I know that personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For OUR Dof (no other clubs) we just do not know - so it really is a waste of our time to speculate so soon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had a job where no-one got to question performance for five years. I'm not in a position where I know his job and functions, so cannot criticise. Not sure how anybody can outside of the board of directors and owners. Edited January 19 by Hudson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Aye. Not sure if this is positive or negative news. The Manure rebuild and hiring season is in full flow though. https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1748782495384924597?s=20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 It is kind of concerning that they are likely going to become better run over the next couple years. But far better that it's with personnel from other clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure , the state they are in has isn't fully down to the owners , they have spent an absolute fortune on players , most expensive squad in the league isn't it. It's the managers that have spent the money badly that have got them where they are now . The owners never stopped Ferguson from being able to win the league .

BShearer Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) the man United appointment from City is bad news if they get much more professionally run. I guess they also bring in a sporting director, could very well be Ashworth, would make sense as they do weaken City with the CEO, and us with Ashworth. they made big mistake of letting Woodward run the show both commercially and football wise for all those years. wasted 100s of millions on poor signing, poor squad building, huge salaries, double digit in expensive flops etc. thing is if they manage to stop the rot with these new hires and Ratcliffe joining thats possibly one less CL place available for us.

SiLvOR Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Listened to the latest "Ripple Effect" pod by James Laurence Allcott. Had a Man U fan on and the pair of them were going on like Ashworth was already there. Wound me up a disproportionate amount Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
