Everyone raves about this Joe Sheilds fella yet when looking at who he has scouted and brought through the ranks at Southampton and City, most of them have been busts. You love to see it.

His record is shit compared to the Brighton blokes

Ares Management, who are going to invest over a billion quid in us, are big boys.

around 341 billion USD (and very likely more as that figure is from September 30, 2022, the end of the last fiscal year) in assets under management

Perform or you're gone, at least some of Roman's attitude remains, even if it's not in the areas we are used to seeing, pitchwise.

There's non-zero chance it may be "don't have your own ideas or you're gone" as well, as per Vivell thing. Makelele perhaps wasn't the top man in his position, but had the club appointed anyone better? Would it make sense, with all that "process needs time" thing to replace executive people all the time? 

On the other hand, those 3 appointments are in areas where club's situation is dire, so we will see.

Interesting perspective. This is about the Glazers deciding not to sell to Qatar and instead bring in Jim as a 25% investor.

Quote

Chelsea are at least gambling on (a) the judgement of proven SD/high-end recruitment people; (b) spending serious money above and beyond that's extracted out of the club (as an investment, obviously) and (c) investing that money based on judgement of the former AND into top-bracket players for the medium to long term. It could have been handled more smoothly and seems overly haphazard right now as a squad for this season, but they're targeting very specific profiles and right across the team. In 3-4 years, if City start to dip post-Guardiola and no-one else steps up, they could be a serious force and into the 2030s.

Boehly may seem slightly clownish but strategically it's well above what the Glazers have done with the resources they inherited and cultivating the brand. They've made some many unforced errors or worst possible calculations, even taking into account the drive to 'capitalize on the brand', that it could almost seem malicious. There's been no project there aside from marketing an hoping for the super league dividends , not even in the sense of a 'club strategy' to invest in younger, less costly talent and money-ball it or move into untapped markets with recruitment and marketing. I'm not exaggerating when I say half the people on tis forum, given a trading-places style speed-induction into the niceties of liaising with advisors and the CEO ( which is where most of the action happens, except for overall 'strategic direction' and whatever, invariably counterproductive bits of micromanagement Joel has engaged in) would do a better job. The only equivalent in the English game would be Blackpool; even Leeds was a more coherent project that ad their club punching above their weight for a while until combination of bad luck, fine margins and some over-leveraging caused them issues.

There's no reason why United shouldn't have been cruising at worst at 3rd place or higher and at least pushing City ala Liverpool, given fan base, prestige, ability to source investment etc, even with the Glazer debt. They' might have been able to pass whatever business school daddy's money got them into and hot-housed them through, and play the part of a competent functioning business-person when giving a boardroom speech or amongst their friends in the country clubs and gatherings, but when it comes to United, they're genuinely stupid, and no amount of justificatory contortions can fully obfuscate that.
