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

[manimanc]

I'm not so much worried about losing him that I think he knows something is coming down the pipeline and is jumping ship now.

Really? So what you are saying is if he's part of this mega conspiracy we're being accused of he'll get a job anywhere?
Yeah OK mate.

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

Bingo. Do you not think we could have matched or exceeded whatever financial offer they made him. Even with a position/title do you not think we couldn't offer him progress or opportunities within the group?

If he is leaving, the club will be totally ok with it.

If you think HRH and Khaldoon will be pleased to see Omar Berrada depart for United then you sir haven’t got a clue.

He was the most senior executive in CFG after Khaldoon and Ferran and was in line to become our group CEO after Ferran calls it a day.

In all seriousness, it’s an understandable move for Berrada - he came over from Barca a decade ago and has been a big part of the team who took the club to the top of football, but it will always be seen externally as Txiki and Sorriano’s ‘team’.

Now that the job is complete, he can move across town, and try to build his own version in the top job.

Yep and it what happens in big business they poach people from the best

I'm not flapping.

Yes you are, as usual!

Alexis Sanchez. Ronaldo. Maguire. Casemiro. Varane. Etc. Etc.

Berrada.

Get the piano ready.

They‘ve turned more corners than Scalextric

Smart long game move by the rags. Hiring Berrada with the brief to build a 3-5 year strategy based on the City blueprint. They will hope that will start to pay dividends as Pep's era comes to and end.

They might be assuming that we will stand still whilst that happens. Which of course we won't.

They're 10 years behind.

By the time they've implemented the City blueprint, we'll have developed a whole new blueprint to lead world football on.
