Thursday and today confirmed what we hoped. We are a very good team. However, we have very clear areas that can be massively upgraded on.

25% of the club has been acquired by INEOS (to be 29%), but more importantly, responsibility of ALL footballing operations have been handed over to Sir Jim & co
For over a decade our football ops have been tragically bad, no vision, direction or competence

Anytime there’s a tweet about us linked with a player and there’s another team involved, it’s generally agents stirring to get the other team to hurry up. Especially when it’s Fab, his sources r agents
Manchester United are well informed on Salzburg talent Benjamin Šeško. He’s one of the players monitored, considered ‘really talented’ - but it’s not imminent or advanced deal as of now. 🚨🔴
#MUFC
Man Utd are aware of Šeško as other clubs are informed too, including Newcastle.

If we’re good enough, by adding players of this quality, u get to the point where teams just don’t press. Their options are

Mainoo a little quiet, that’s ok he’s only young. I hope ETH tells him to be a bit more confident and proactive getting on the ball. Will help his confidence and he has the technical ability to make some things happen. That’s needed with the slight lack of creativity in this mdf

Kambwala was good today. As good as he could be in this set up

He was key to help on deals like Kane, Kim Min-Jae, de Ligt — but also in the scouting process for Davies, Musiala and more talents.

Breaking through isn’t the same as having a clear pathway. We literally bought Mount in the summer and brought in Amrabat!!!

In 2022/23 McKenna’s Ipswich scored the most goals (101) & conceded the least (35) in League 1. The underlying stats supported this. They were the only team with an xG over 2/game (2.16) & xGA under 1 (.94). Insane
As a promoted team it’s difficult but they currently sit 2nd…

For me, selling him at this point isn’t the issue. It’s the lack of attention to his development and creating a pathway for him and his cohort. Mainoo also didn’t have a pathway but forced the issue

Some1 I believe meets the basic attributes as well as the extra criteria I have suggested is Caicedo.
This year under de Zerbi he has shown impressive development in his ability to control the game in the 1st and 2nd phase, and he is one of the best ball winners in the league

To by 25% of the club and demand sporting control and within a few days tell all staff members that sporting success is your priority then you know he’s serious
No guarantee of success of course but the intention hasn’t been there for 15 years either
Sir Jim Ratcliffe + Sir Dave Brailsford drew major reaction from

Ok serious talk
Everything to be done by INEOS, should basically disregard this season. I think it’s a possibility that there is a coach available who could squeak us UCL football next year. But that’s not thinking long term

If this is the case and it is Mitchell appointed, he had with him throughout his career is James Bunce, currently Head of Performance at Monaco and he’s been a part of ensuring the training program the coach is implementing is best practice for load and fitness…
Times article below worth keeping an eye on (especially considering one of the names who wrote it). Also notes concerns about the intensity of training contributing to injury crisis. This isn't a "leak" from players complaining, I've been talking about it 6+ weeks.

This is why marginal gains is a crucial philosophy
It’s not just a corny phrase. It’s a mindset leading to innovation
How can we get that little bit more out of our players? Is their psychology addressed well enough? Things like that
He’s done it his whole career
For me, it’s imperative that Brailsford is allowed to have some influence around these players and this manager.
This attitude, of weighing up what sort of leadership style certain people need is vital to success.

When we talk about DoFs we’re linked with and who we want, I always emphasise that I want some1 who will build systems and processes that outlast them. Not just a glorified scout. The amount of time Brighton have had their execs poached and they still manage to do it after
Julio Enciso has looked a livewire in 3 of his last 4 substitute cameos now. £10m from the Paraguayan league. Brighton and Hove Albion. Keep taking players off them. It doesn’t matter. They will keep regenerating themselves.

“Very hard for him him with Ipswich in the PL the way he plays”
What?
McKenna to Brighton should be seriously considered. Very hard for him to “win” with Ipswich in PL the way he plays. Would suit him and them very well and with a good season keep his stock on the up and up.

Another reason for a Sporting Director
Having a clear plan for the best of the best of these players, not randomly buying players in a position where an academy player could step up
The manager is currently in charge of this process, and while people would therefore blame…
But our academy ain’t worth crap some say.
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, our academy is the strongest it’s been since ‘92, and if it wasn’t for the incoherent environment of the first team and the way the modern game now views how academies work, we can have a core of

Literally nobody with a brain cell or money coming to their pockets for hating on him, believes Rashy should leave
It would not be “the right thing to do”
No new coach in their right mind is gonna come in and think it best that this guy isn’t a major pillar in his squad
Makes sense.
Lots of positive noise coming out of Manchester United at the moment.
Selling Rashford would be a difficult thing to do, but it would be the right thing to do. We have seen so much of him over the years & the likelihood is his pressing intensity will never improve.

Stam would have been best PL CB ever if he stayed longer. I might be wrong but wasn’t it 3 szns, 3 PL titles, 1 treble, 3 PL Team of the szns. Johnsen, let him do his aggressive stuff and swept up behind

Another couple reasons why this could be the case:
- INEOS were silent during Berrada appointment, if you’re hearing things it’s happening
- INEOS would’ve known for months if it were possible to get Ashworth. They would’ve backed off and/or you wouldn’t hear about failure
IMO if he’s ’open to move’ then that’s the end of it and it’s happening

Just some points on this for you attention:
DoF—
- imminent after ratification which could be as soon as this week
- no clear target, could be someone we haven’t heard about all, INEOS operate silently
Midfield —
- same as CB, could be looking at significant midfield overhaul
New Video: SJR comes to town as they ramp up their plans following NYSE approval. Director of Football soon? New stadium? More transfer plans begin to shape up and what the philosophy will be from INEOS moving forward. And more...

Outplayed us? 😂 they sat back and won a peno and that’s about it. Pep two seasons ago would have been pissed off if he didn’t win 3-0. His point is we’re improving, and that’s clearly what the oppo think
