God it cheered me up watching the highlights of them yesterday. We think we have problems fuck me they are SHITE

Indeed

Even at full strength, their squad is shite.

Incredible how many shite players they've blown huge money on. Even by the law of averages you would think at least a couple would be decent.
 
Good to see Ineos can not only take on successful sporting teams and make them much, much worse, it can also take on very mediocre teams and make them much worse as well….

This from google AI.


  • Cycling: Ineos Grenadiers, formerly Team Sky, has struggled to regain its former glory. The team has won fewer races, and has not won a Grand Tour since Brailsford became Ineos's director of sport in 2021. Some say the team lacks a rider who can challenge for major podiums, and that Egan Bernal's recovery from a training ride crash in 2022 is unlikely.

  • Football: Manchester United, where Ineos has a minority stake, has had difficulty finding success. The team is currently in 13th place in the Premier League.

  • Sailing: Ineos has experienced only losses in the America's Cup.

  • Formula 1: Mercedes has not had a world champion since Ratcliffe's investment in 2020.

  • Rugby: The All Blacks lost the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
 
I saw a report saying they expect a saving of £40m but not sure how they’d calculate that? Is it 3 years salary x250 is approx £50k per employee.

doubt that majority of them are in 50k a year even if they all were on that it's still not 40m more like 12.5m

and the panel gaps and external fittings are a joke on the new Grenadier.......
 
I am not saying they will succeed but they will 1000% try to poach Viana. Make no mistake about it. They are bar none the most pathetic sport association on the planet, and their envy and admiration for us knows no bounds.

That being said, there were enough voices out of Newcastle implying that Ashworth wasn't actually that good in the market, which was his sole purpose at United. Which makes me feel this is bad news in case they actually stumble upon someone competent this time.

Also, INEOS has never run a succesfull football team. Only straight or relative failures. By all intents or purposes they have no idea what they are doing
They will try to nick him from us. If they do I don’t think I could bare the media wankfest! I reckon we were in for Amorim aswell. We’ve seen for over a decade now how these wankstains whole existence now revolves on trying to get one over on us. Fuckin pathetic! If they get viana aswell the media wil celebrate like they’ve won a trophy!
