Omar Berrada to the rags | TLDR: They want to be us.

What was he doing before City gave him such a high profile job at the Club?

What didn’t even think he had left

Fucking turncoat

One thing is for sure, it’s got fuck all to do with the charges and any heads up on a verdict.

 

[Blueroses]

Must have got the offer of lifetime. Our staff have been poach for sometime but this is just so high up the chain it hurts more.

They want to be like us. The CFG model is what they are coming after Ratciff has that vision. I feel sick to my gut coz I hate United to find success on back of someone who was part of our journey.

I hope we overcome this and appoint someone better. Pretty got him to provide blueprint to our club. Loyalty doesn’t exist much in football but this is disappointing. Marginal gain loooks like this.

I hope it’s a case of him being offered more money and power while not having to relocate. Rather than the obvious…jumping ship possibility.

We’ve lost members of staff in recent years and supposedly don’t stand in people’s way if they want to go but this feels different. Probably because he’s been earmarked for Txiki’s role in the future and it’s to those cunts.

A brighter side? Maybe he’s been told Txiki is going nowhere - and thus neither is Pep - for the foreseeable and sees more opportunity elsewhere.

Either way, hope it doesn’t come back to bite us on the arse.

On a par with the Scousers hacking our player database, but it is legal and could be a lot more serious and damaging, unless he's given the City assurances he won't divulge anything to the Rags and Jim?

Worked for Barcelona as head of sponsorship until 2011 and then has worked his way up at City
