He stepped back from the role he was brought in todo a while back, but he was still on board. Not really sure what he was doing on the board, probably not much. But this fully removes him from United.dozer wrote: ↑4 months agoI thought he left almost a year ago.

Good news I reckon. Takes that baggage with him too.
Ratcliffe, INEOS and the future
Well we played worse when he was around, so we're probably fineFuck the Glazers wrote: ↑4 months agoYeah, glad he's gone given the allegations of cheating.

I saw that news last night and wasn't sure what to make of it.
I can't see Joel and Avram leaving.
They're sounding out a market. First shot in the negotiating with INEOS for next year. Their ideal outcome has always been a bidding war and I fully expect another shady fake Jassim-style thing to pop up around the time the current deal with INEOS is up (next Feb I think).
He sounds very competent but not my cup of tea. He seemed to squirm a bit when Mitten asked him if hiring Amorim was a mistake. I get that it's all political and plenty of people are saying Amorim did some good work behind the scenes but Berrada has to own that mistake. It's not just hiring Amorim, it's the overruling and subsequent firing of Ashworth to get it done.
I liked Berrada in this interview. He came across as someone who tried to be honest. He obviously couldn't reveal everything which is why he decided to focus on Amorim's positives and did not mention the negatives. That seemed like appropriate behaviour. What's wrong with that?Felwin wrote: ↑3 months agoHe sounds very competent but not my cup of tea. He seemed to squirm a bit when Mitten asked him if hiring Amorim was a mistake.

The interviewer was shit though. He seemed like he was just reading questions off a list (which the club probably insisted on) and it didn't seem like a conversation.
I don't recall him asking anything about Ashworth.

A loan to pay off a loan
And this loan is bigger than the old loan
And this loan has more interest
And all that means the overall debt is bigger than ever

Manchester United has secured the majority of the land required to build a new 100,000-seater stadium, marking a major milestone in the long-term vision to transform the Old Trafford area.
The new stadium, which will become the biggest sporting arena in the UK, will serve as a catalyst for the regeneration of the surrounding district, helping to create one of the most dynamic and globally significant sporting and entertainment destinations in the world.
The club acquired the 25-acre site, located approximately 350m north-west of the current stadium, from Indurent, a leading provider of industrial space and a Blackstone portfolio company. United will engage directly with businesses impacted by the plans to support them through the transition period.
We are committed to building a world-class stadium with our supporters, not just for them, with atmosphere, affordability and accessibility at the heart of our thinking.

The club has also worked in close collaboration with Trafford Council and the Old Trafford Regeneration Mayoral Development Corporation (OTRMDC) to ensure the location of the new stadium works cohesively with the wider Old Trafford regeneration strategy, ensuring optimum connectivity and the best possible experience for fans.
The 370 acre regeneration project is expected to deliver around 15,000 new homes, including affordable housing, create 48,000 new jobs locally and over 90,000 nationally, and add more than £7 billion a year to the UK economy.
Collette Roche, CEO, Manchester United’s New Stadium Development, said:
“Today’s news highlights the progress we’re making towards a world-class new home for Manchester United and represents a significant milestone as we move into the next phase of development.
“Being able to build so close to Old Trafford allows us to preserve the heritage, traditions and rituals that are so important to our fans. We are committed to building a world-class stadium with our supporters, not just for them, with atmosphere, affordability and accessibility at the heart of our thinking.
“This is a generational opportunity that is fully aligned with both local and national growth ambitions. Securing the right land for our new home has been absolutely critical, and the land we’ve acquired gives us the stage to deliver a truly world-class stadium that honours our past and is ready for our future.”
