    yeah. I trust this Brailsford guy tho.

    I don't get what's going on with all the other positions that are allegedly being hired like Mitchel ashworth jean Claude blanc etc. seems like too many chefs in the kitchen.

    Basically Brailsford is the CEO reporting to the owner of the company (Ratcliffe) then you got your financial expert and director: Jean Claude, your recruitment expert and director: Paul Mitchell and finally your internal high performance sports culture manager: Dan Ashworth

    And until now Erik was required (just like all previous managers) to basically steer all of these ships while managing the team

    Feel like we should put a buy back clause for any of our academy players post-Pogba.

    We're so finished if it's Potter, may as well keep Haggy on until they find somebody better.

  • Jan 4, 2024

    If Potter is being lined up I’d rather stick with Hag and see what he can do under a proper football structure

    So the only clubs xG rightly predicted are: Man City, Arsenal, Brighton, Bournemouth and Fulham?

    Feel like you shouldnt use xg as a metric like that I know it means expected goals but if you wanna draw real conclusions out of it it should be seen more as a metric for how frequent a team gets into dangerous situations and how well the players use these chances.

    Worst s*** is obviously having high xg and low goals. Best is high xg and high goals. Etc. Or what do you think?

    Ratcliffe is awaiting an almost 2 month long Premier League verification process to be truly allowed to make decisions on behalf of the club. Meaning he can’t build the team under him yet nor start any new recruitment policy.

    There is simply no time to a***yse the team within this January transfer window with so little in place so he naturally will look for minimal effort signings and extensions. Coupled with the horrible FFP regulation restrictions cus of the little to no cash in United’s bank account

    The summer transfer window will be his first shot at it
