Solely responsible for the football side and will be targeted to get the stadium fixed, all while being a minority shareholder and having to give the glazers their pound of flesh/watch them drain the cash out of the club. It's like running a business for the Mafia He must be having some massive buyer’s remorse. It’s easy shouting from the sidelines, now we’ll see if he has the stomach for it. The squad needs hundreds of millions spending on it to get it back to CL football. And then again the next year, and the next year. That will include selling several players at a loss, and offering them incentives to leave the club. All whilst the stadium is falling apart in the most embarrassing and public way possible, live on TV with a worldwide audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pas5898 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 FWIW I think whatever terrible culture has been festered over the years at Man U is the biggest problem, not ETH. They've hired good managers, they've hired good players and some bad. There's something about that club that's cancerous and sucks performance away. All the best clubs (us included) have firm strong leadership from the top, a clear unified vision wit the players being the final piece of the puzzle. Off field matters and leadership changes crumble a club (Chelsea). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leads a deluded fan base to believe they are underachieving which gives some lazy players an excuse to blame managers. Perfecy storm Mourinho was probably not lying by saying 2nd with United was his greatest achievement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 They need to get a bit of a bastard like Simeone in there as manager. I don't know whether that's possible or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 If they are thinking of sacking ETH they should make him deal with the crap of doing the clear out first. Then sack him, then bring in someone else with a clean slate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 It'll be a absolute crime if that multi billionaire Radcliff gets the council to give some millions for a new ground. They've surely got the Etihad and the new co-op arena if they want to stage events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Radcliffe won't build them a new stadium, he'll make plenty of noise about it, he'll sell the dream of a new man utd to keep investors on board, probably even bring some more money on board, but he won't do shit He'll then bitch and moan about the local government and make it anyone's fault but his Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 They're likely to find the same problems we have (presumably) encountered: the main stadium-builder has gone bust, construction cost inflation is through the roof, time spans are extended, projects are overrunning both time and cost. Unlike us, they'd be looking at building a whole stadium, not a stand, and presumably a very large one since it wouldn't make sense to build one with a much-reduced capacity. They're obviously a very wealthy club but it would be a giant project and I'd have thought once they took a look at the cost they might well conclude patching up OT makes more sense.
