The biggest trick Jim has pulled is convincing the fanbase that lower wage bill is a great strategy.
He has lowered our wage bill by 30% and I expect it to go even lower.
High wage bill is probably the single most important data point if you are to look at sustained success. Hardly anyone club have been successful consistently without having a high wage bill.
From the SEC filings at the time of the sale…the Glazers absolutely wanted a full sale, they offered the entire club to Ineos on multiple occasions, Ineos refused. Since December 24, 2023, Ineos could have bought more shares at the agreed upon price ($33) and have chosen the status quo….we are where we are not because of some chance event.
The guy has make bad decision after bad decision for two and a half years, has no CV to fall back on, has no history with the club, and no respect in the fanbase. Not being under any pressure at a club of this status shows the mess it is
In addition to all the reaction to Martinez speaking out. Remember someone leaked out the team and change of tactics 12 hours before kick off yesterday. And it 100% wasn't Martinez. So let's not pretend he's the only one pissed off
Diogo Dalot har alltså spelat över 250 matcher för United, Inte för att han är bra utan för att klubben är så illa skött att en medioker ytterback kunnat bli en av de mest givna spelarna i laget under 8 år.
Beware the spin this morning! Lots focusing on Martinez mistake vs Spurs as a counter. Totally irrelevant. If Zirkzee had said it last night it's still huge. The club is a disgrace! That's the message
If we get radio silence from players and the coach after this then they basically class themselves as Glazers. Martinez has made a stand. Real teammates won't leave him alone
Rangnick and Amorim called out the issues at the club and were got rid of. Expect Martinez to follow the same path. Just grateful for a serving player to finally say what the fans have been thinking for ten years
Lisandro Martinez build him a statue. Finally a serving player calling out the board and owners. Rest of the dressing room should stand with him immediately
Lisandro Martinez has broken the fourth wall tonight. He's exposed the PR and spin of the last few years by saying exactly what the fans think. The club won't be able to bury this. Certain people's positions are untenable.
From this article. Bar one season since Sir Alex left, Manchester United have continued to underspend in seasons they were in the Champions League as opposed to seasons they weren’t. Glazernomics. #MUFC@AttackingFooty
You can post compilations of Antonio Conte and Mauricio Pochettino, but the fact of the matter is Manchester United will not be successful until that parasitic ownership the Glazer family leave the club once and for all. Regardless of who is in the dugout. #MUFC
Manchester United's problems are entirely of their own making. They signed three CMs, which was a great start, but it wasn't enough & now here we are heading to Atleti for the first away game in the Champions League without a natural ST or senior LB.
This sits entirely on Jason Wilcox & Omar Berrada, the depth of the squad & positions unaddressed was a choice they made. Michael Carrick & his coaches have a whole other share of the blame in terms of the team & its ongoing conditioning & tactical issues.
It isn't good enough & there has to be accountability.
