I’m fairly confident the people in charge at the very least are about maximising the value of their investment, the potential for growth is still there it’s just going to take more time unfortunately.

Despite the welcome investment, nothing else appears to be materialising in the way of actual plans. No training ground, for example. We just don’t seem high up the list of priorities for PIF who, every time I check, have added another sporting venture to their portfolio. And now, if the rumours are true, a half arsed appointment to fill the role previously held by the top man at it Edited March 2 by Hovagod Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Think Potter would be a good manager for them if given enough time. However, the massive variable there is how toxic the club is. Hard to see anyone being a success until their off pitch stuff is less toxic. Rat king is likely not the answer as he’s an arrogant, tight twat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now, if the rumours are true, a half arsed appointment to fill the role previously held by the top man at it Eh? That seems like a massive overreaction and also downplaying loads of stuff. That fan village thing. An overhaul of the youth setup. The training ground improvements. Some, albeit minor, improvements at the ground for the players. They have appointed architects and design consultants for the new training ground, I think? The study into the new stadium or expansion of St James’ Appointing Ashworth, who then subsequently wanted to leave. That’s not necessarily their fault. The women’s team. A shit load of money spent on players, putting us right up to the line with FFP by all accounts. Probably missed some and all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE27 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 We literally just finished a training ground expansion last year to bring it up to a good standard. I'm sure they have a lot of plans, but not sure if you remember how skelotonised our club was behind the scenes. This is a long term project (hopefully) and not a carbon copy of man city's owners unfettered splurge on every single aspect of a club without second thought. It'll take time and it'll seemingly be done the hard way if the PL and it's cohorts have their way, so just sit back and buckle in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper football man, knows the club and how to win trophies with Man U. Would be awesome to see the pundits defending him when he's lost 3-0 at home to any team whatsoever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I keep seeing stories over the last couple of days about Ashworth supposedly already doing work on behalf of Man Utd... but he's supposed to still be on garden leave and we've not received any compo to change that, unless I've missed something?! (... I'm presuming it's just the usual lazy journalism, but I hope our owners are keeping a close eye on it, would love to catch Man Utd out and get them hit with misconduct) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
