Quite enjoying seeing another team get ran by someone who doesn't seem to have a clue about football.  Or at least, just nice not being us!

When even Simon Jordan talks sense about you, you know you are incompetent :)

So since walking into Man Utd, Ratcliffe has demanded:

 

 - The taxpayer pays for their new stadium

 - Newcastle do the decent thing and let them have Dan Ashworth

 - Everton do the decent thing and let them have Branthwaite

 - Everyone returns to office despite there not being enough desks

 - That the staff he's brought back into office then vote on VR

 

Anything else been missed?

Mentioned before that I know a lad who works there and he says the morale is through the floor. So many colleagues of his are looking for new jobs, he is too. Something he mentioned is that Man Utd will have to fish in a pretty small pond for his replacement. A pond that's getting smaller with every press release. The amount of people with the right experience for his job, who'd actively want to work 5 days in the office, for an apparently regressive board is vanishingly small.

Feel sorry for the people whose livelihoods are being messed with. But otherwise, couldn’t happen to a nicer club

My sympathy can only extend so far for this lad. One of the major reasons he doesn't want to go into the office 5 days a week is because he doesn't drive and would need to get the train from Ilkley to Manchester every day. Not that he can't drive, he's got his license and everything, but he just won't do it. 

 

One of the jobs he's applied for is with the same company Mrs Fish works at. Which is a remote office entirely inaccessible by public transport and is 2hrs from his house by car anyway. Also, they insist on 3 days a week in the office too, so.....

 

Like I said, sympathy only goes so far.

I bet he's in the Crescent on an evening snorting with a well know Ilkley family eh ;) 

 

The way Ratcliffe has handled this is fucking shocking man.  Yet you have people applauding him.  I wonder what duck lip Ferdinand thinks of it.

He thinks he would've been a fashion designer if he wasn't a footballer. :lol:

Reminds me of when Ashley came in to NUFC and got rid of half of the turnstile staff.  Rather than trying to flog a few more shirts or advertising, elects to take away peoples income.

The same Italian journalist who was one of the first to confirm Botman signing has said that Kelly is done and dusted to be signed on a three year deal when the window opens.

Maybe Maresca has spoken to him, actually wants him, and has given assurances about playing time etc, but as a Newcastle journo was saying it's likely that Chelsea upper management see him largely as a free asset given their financial issues, as opposed to a piece of the jigsaw of their first 11. If it's the latter then Chelsea are welcome to him. Unfortunately this could have major consequences in terms of the level of attacking players we can go after, given it's unlikely we'll find a bargain and or free transfer on the level of Tosin, and will therefore have to spend 30 to 50 million if Howe is set on getting two centre half's with Botman and Lascelles out until at least Christmas.

Just read that Tosin was coached by Maresca when he was at Citeh, so it's maybe fair enough that he went given he had a previous working relationship with him and he won't have to move house. Whether Maresca lasts more than a season or even few months at Chelsea is separate issue though.

I fucking hate Chelsea.

 

Those players simply going for the big money clubs can fuck off, too. He will probably rot on their bench after they sign another dozen of defenders.
