Headlines this morning screaming about “toxic”

Obviously there’s no specifics or any kind of detail, but then it’s related to Man Utd and it’s negative, so it’ll go down well.
Did you write it?

Pretty difficult to be toxic when you're never £#%&!ing there tbh.

Exactly. I’m sure everyone would love working for a boss that didn’t give a £#%&! about the day to day running of the business.

Fancy a man who owns a company telling people what to do - utter madness.

Sounds like a lot of people got used to standards being on the floor and half-arsing it every day for the last 10 years.

"doesn't understand how the industry works" ffs.

Yes because you've been running such a successful operation for the last decade, eh?

Also applies to the UK in general.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is confident Manchester United will not be demoted from the Europa League and will be allowed to compete next season alongside Nice, the French club he also owns via his company Ineos.

Uefa regulations prevent an organisation or person from wielding “decisive influence” over more than one club in the same competition. Ratcliffe has a 27.7% stake in United and controls the club’s football policy, and Ineos has owned Nice since 2019.

Uefa has a deadline of Monday for clubs to satisfy its rules. Ineos believes it must indicate by then the adjustments it will make and that their implementation can follow. Rulings will be delivered by Uefa in the summer and if United were to lose the case they would be demoted to the Europa Conference League because they finished lower in the Premier League (eighth) than Nice did in Ligue 1 (fifth).

Manchester City and Girona, who each qualified for the Champions League, have to make a similar case to Uefa. This is because City Football Group owns 81% of the English champions and 44.3% of the Spanish club.

RB Salzburg and RB Leipzig competed in the 2017-18 Champions League despite each being owned by Red Bull GmbH. Uefa investigators found the company exerted a strong influence over both clubs but its club financial control body found there were not enough grounds to believe there was influence running between the two clubs after certain members of staff linked to Red Bull and loan arrangements between the teams had been removed.

2-5 are all reasonable. Not sure I’m convinced 1 is the absolute best way to go about things. I hate it when we sign players in their mid-30s but sometimes experience is needed. For example if we sign another centre forward, it should be someone at the peak of their powers, or at least someone very experienced who can help Hojlund while he develops.

Edit - not sure about the technical director dictating the style of play either tbh…
