The Manchester United Thread

Yeah quite the coupe getting Ruud in as a coach. Reading Duckers piece about it now sounds like it was ETH suggestion as part of his new contract negotiations. Also possibly one of MClarren or Van De Gaag might be leaving. But that’s just talk not mentioned by Ducker.

Or maybe, he’s INEOS’ backup plan come December 🙃

Wouldn’t shock me if we wait till 2025. Ratcliffe has gone on record that he’d rather crawl to the right solution than rush to the wrong one.

He's also narking that the right men aren't in place to run this window and get deals done.

Sacrificing three of them to set Utd even further back would be a very strange answer to that.
 
We won’t be sacrificing 3 of them. He’s frustrated about Ashworth but we will be ok till he arrives. We have Blanc, Berrada and Wilcox all in place and who are all super capable and have done that job or similar roles at high levels of club football. I’m for one am glad he won’t be happy until he gets exactly who he wants in.

2 administrators and Wilcox?

Sounds like a plan.

I believe you may misunderstand his role a bit as far as the scope. Ashworth would represent an overseer to several aspects like the men’s team, women’s team, Physio, sports science, youth teams, nutrition and recruitment. Each of these facets will have their various heads that would report to him. For the men’s team, you have Ten Hag. For the women’s team, you have Marc Skinner. For recruitment, you’ll have James Wilcox. Wilcox is going to be the one running the recruitment bit.

Ashworth’s role is just making sure each of these facets are pulling in the same direction (ya know, the complete opposite of what has happen the past decade). There won’t be an upheaval if/when he comes in.

Pretty much how things will work. But Ornstein did say the other day day we are still looking to hire a head of recruitment to work along side Wilcox. And the womens team will be getting the same reshape at top level as the men’s team. But at a later time.

So more a GM, not a DoF?

I thought he was overseeing recruitment? If its left to the other three, that is a gamble.
 
SJR, Blanc, Brailsford - Board members

Berrarda - CEO

Ashworth - DOF

Wilcox - Technical Director

??? - Head of recruitment

As per Ornstein that’s how the structure will look. We also have a new head of contract negotiations in place called Matt Hargreaves already at the club since March. Currently employed at Coventry and Brighton doing various roles from board level down. He will be aiding in this summers recruitment also.

He will have a say in recruitment I believe (especially the more expensive ones) but he isn’t going to be organizing scouting assignments etc. All that granular work is going to be done by Wilcox (and whomever our next head of recruitment will be). Perhaps it’s better to hear from the horses mouth 🙂 (skip to 1:23)

 
EXCL: Erik ten Hag, set to sign new contract at Manchester United as deal is now almost agreed.Contacts advancing to final stages this week with his agents to finalize terms.

There will be changes in the staff with Ruud van Nistelrooy
 
According to @amandaezaza , Katie Zelem might leave Manchester United. The Captain is reportedly looking at other clubs, as United has yet to trigger her option.

According to @KathrynBatte , Nikita Parris will likewise leave Manchester United. Her contract will expire at the end of June.
 
Good!
