mightyez highlighted whats been done so far really well and I think it should be said here Thus far you have to say SJR/Ineos are starting out well. 1. Proper CEO 2. Football first culture (This is smart because if you get that right, the commercial benefits will flow. Beggars belief that no one told the Glazers this) 3. Getting rid of wastes of space. This is something they must accelerate because there are many stealing high end pay. Full review of every department and ensure they aren't bloated. 4. Reducing the wage bill and squad size. As much as i want to see players come in, we are bloated and we massively overpay. Sell players and use money generated, it just might make the likes of ETH pick who they want with alot more caution and wisdom

Seeing that Robin Sadler the head of Rehab and Physio has left..... The SJR House Cleaning continues! Manchester United’s first departure has been announced in a brutal shake-up as Sir Jim Ratcliffe starts to take control of the club’s operations, according to The Mirror. Manager Erik ten Hag and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have backed Gary O’Driscoll, the club’s head of sports medicine, in his assessment of the medical staff. As a result, a physio staff member has left the club as United look to improve every area of the team. This season, United have struggled with a lengthy injury list, which has affected the team’s shape and performances due to the absence of important players like Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez. O’Driscoll was a major addition to United upon his appointment from Arsenal. He is regarded as one of the best in his field. He is given the authority to dig deep into the setup, undertake a thorough analysis, and look for ways to make the performance better. More changes are expected after the departure of a senior physio, who left on friendly terms. |

Happy we are making some progress with the appointments and hiring people who are actually qualified for the jobs.
We got a lot of wasters out of the club Erik's first summer. Problem was he then spent around £400m and the majority of them either flopped or are now past their sell by date.
It doesn't require a genius to figure out who needs to go. That is something SJR is capable of and he will be a lot more realistic about asking prices than the Glazers and should understand that a fire sale with payoffs where required will be a necessary evil to clear the decks.
My worry is that if we don't get a DOF/transfer chief in and Murtough/Fletcher remain in place and Erik continues to demand a lot of input into transfers then we will just recruit badly again. Or worse SJR might stick his oar in. Apparently he likes the idea of buying British and we saw what happened last time we tried to do that (Maguire, Sancho, AWB etc).
With FFP clearly constraining operations the policy should be to spend well or don't spend at all as transfer mistakes get doubly punished as it reduces what you can spend the following summer.

IMO there is zero chance that we won’t have a proper DoF and Head of Recruitment at the very least… Murtough and Fletcher are not going to be with us for long… |

They are only here because the replacements are signed so they are just place holding. |

More positive stuff coming out, let's hope OT finally gets revamped or we get a new ground, something to get excited about and something to attract top players!
Andy Burnham in discussions with Manchester United owners over Old Trafford future
The Mayor says he will 'stand behind' the new part-owners
Andy Burnham has been involved in discussions with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford over the future of Manchester United’s ground.
Sir Jim is the CEO of Ineos, the chemical giant which has recently purchased a 25 per cent stake in the club, with Sir Dave being the company’s director of sport. In the first few weeks of the Ineos regime, there has been speculation that Old Trafford could be expanded or upgraded.
The stadium is the largest football club ground in England, with a capacity of 74,310. However, it has missed out on hosting Euro 2028 matches, with rivals Manchester City’s current 53,400-capacity Etihad Stadium getting the nod ahead of the larger venue.
The decision not to include the Red Devils’ ground was a joint decision between the club and the FA, as officials have planned to redevelop it — and wanted to avoid a situation where they had to pull out of hosting due to building work.
Now, it’s been revealed that Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham has been in discussions with the new owners over its future — and says he will ‘stand behind the club’ and ‘make sure it works’ during his regular BBC Radio Manchester ‘in the hot seat’ phone-ion.
“To any United fans listening, I am not trying to steer it in any particular way — that’s not my job,” Mr Burnham, a lifelong Everton supporter, said. “Your club needs to decide what it wants.
“All I am saying is, we are absolutely standing behind the club in saying whatever it is they want, we will facilitate. We will be there to make sure that the club is set up for the future.
“I think there is an exciting potential here, I am talking to the club. I may well be seeing them next week.
“Sir Jim has really brought a lot of energy to the situation, Sir Dave Brailsford is a brilliant person and is the architect of British cycling success over the last couple of decades and the velodrome in Manchester — he was very much involved in the building of the velodrome and he is bringing that expertise now to Manchester United.”
