Manchester United held a press conference to welcome new manager Tobey Mason to the club today. Mason a rookie from the south of England has been prepped and groomed to follow on from Ferguson’s legacy. He worked under Sir Alex for about 7 months learning and consuming what had been taught.
Manchester United confirmed that maybe it wasn’t the most obvious of choices but that they want someone who knows the current squad and that knows the Red Devils setup inside out.
He was the winner of a contract in late January earlier this year after impressing the Man Utd board during his interview. His job roles then included, shadowing Fergie, communicating with backroom staff to get as much knowledge of how the club runs and touting potential transfers.
Mason said in his first interview… “This is a dream come true, for me to be sat here feels unreal. I know my performance and the teams will be under microscopic scrutiny as I am a relatively unknown manager but I will do all I can for this club. Thank you”

With Harry Redknapp banned from managing a football club for 18 months due to the scandal with money and the taxman, Manchester United manager Tobey Mason begged the board to offer him a contract, and after many long meetings they did.
Redknapp agreed to a 2 year contract which has been written up and includes these ‘rules’…
With these stipulations in place Redknapp was still eager to sign up with the Red Devils stating that he “desperately wanted to stay in the game“. He said that he “owes Man Utd a lot for having faith and trust in him“. It is a big risk and I won’t let the club down I will go out everyday and try my hardest for them.
Man Utd’s New Sponsors Pay Out Big Time - 15/07/09
With times of change happening within Man Utd it must feel like a renaissance for the fans. Things aren’t about to stop either as the Man Utd board informed the public that the clubs debt had been cleared, the Glaziers removed and a huge income (seasonal) would be in place for the next 10 years.
With a new TV channel (Beam©) owned by Donald Trump earning the rights to air the Man Utd games the seams to the clubs wallet could soon burst. Initially a £200 million pound deal which could rise depending on the number of trophies Man Utd win and if the contract is to be extended.
If that wasn’t enough, fashion design label ‘Dolce and Gabbana’ won the right to have their name on the clubs shirt. The fashion label even suggested that they might make some stylish threads dedicated to the club. The shirts themselves have also had a huge overhaul as the club looks to take them to the next level. Man Utd will now play in a striped home t-shirt which won in a live online internet poll.
Here are the kits….
