Hopefully City make them wait months and months and months before he's allowed to start as they did with us and Munn.

Can’t believe he’s not got a non compete clause of at least 6 months.
I’ve got 3 months and I’m a nobody.

Leaves the camp in the middle of the last year's World Cup, shows up later than any player at the Afcon and now telling players what to do on set pieces.

What a clown.

Jim can do nothing without the consent of the Glaziers, how you think his hous is in order I cannot explain. He owns 25% of a club the majority owners don’t give a shit about, he cannot do anything without approval. Honestly I cannot understand why he got into bed with them.
Jim has plenty of experience of managing various joint ventures within his chemical empire, so he's not going to have handed over his money and left himself at the Glaziers' mercy.

One point that we may all be missing is his ultimate end-game. He's too dynamic an operator to be satisfied with the current ownership arrangements in the longer term, and I wouldn't bet against him seeing this as a "project" where he implements improvements to the club's structure and operations that are beyond the capabilities of the Glaziers, who have neither the expertise nor the support within the club to push through the necessary changes.

If it works, he then sells his stake in the open market and goes down as "the man who saved United" as well as seeing a significant return on his investment.

It’s going to be a very long tearm
Plan though as the club seeming don’t have a pot to piss in. And all their players seemingly intend of running down their contracts.

If it's widely known that the reason Utd's fortunes have changed is the guy selling his minority stake I don't think there would be many takers, especially when the majority shareholders who have fucked the club are still in place and still have control of the club.

I struggle to see a long term plan of how Ineos make money on this if I'm honest short of the Glazers selling up. Even then the fact is the more successful he makes Utd, the more those shares are worth and less likely the Glazers will sell and if they do the more those shares will cost.

There is truth in the Marcus Edwards rumours, they are interested and talking to Sporting.

Imagine moving out Sancho because of his attitude and then moving in Edwards(if it happens). :ROFLMAO:

Love to know whose idea this is. Is it ETH or someone else ? Seems like ETH to me.
