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

[Fordyboy46]

This says to me that the rags are going on a huge summer spending spree, like they always have actually

Non news tbh,
1. I doubt United are stupid enough to hire a man who was instrumental in bringing those deals which are in question

2.that also is great for us, most likely nothing will be proven.

Interesting who will rreplace him

We did those Etihad & Etisalat deals before he came on board. He had nothing to do with them.

Brian Marwood would be a good choice to replace him.

This is hugely concerning and potentially has huge ramifications.

Omar was viewed within the club as a natural successor to Ferran Soriano as CFG’s CEO and played a huge part (In everything) that went on at the club and the wider City football group.

Omar has knowledge and information on absolutely every detail of City’s and CFG’s operation. Something really, really fishy about this.

I have no doubt Khaldoon will have tried to intervene to retain him.

What evidence do you have? Happy to be proved wrong incidentally.
Also, when you talk about 'Something really, really fishy about this', what do you mean? Taken at face value, it simply appears that someone with no scruples has sold his soul to move over to the evil empire for significantly more money and power.

Surprised there are 37 pages on Berrada leaving.

Honestly, not sure what the fuss is.

Never heard of him until I came on here, so c’est la vie rag twat.

The only question is whether he has non-compete clauses but we have no way of knowing what they look like.

We already have those in place with united. They seem to work very well.

Had honestly never heard of him until this afternoon, haha.

Nothing to see here for this reason……We have the best owners in world football while they have the glazers and scruffy jim. They can hire who they like but they ain’t going to be as well run and as successful as us anytime fucking soon.

A lot of these comments are frankly absurd. I get he’s going to a rival but he’s not a Man City fan born and bred in Burnage, he’s an employee who has been a major part of our success for the last 10 years.

He’s probably been offered a boat load of money and a bigger role as a CEO. That’s business. This happens at the C-Level literally all the time in absolutely every industry. The only question is whether he has non-compete clauses but we have no way of knowing what they look like.

City will replace him with somebody who is also vastly competent and experienced, of that I have very little doubt. I would suggest you will see Khaldoon or somebody high up at City come out in the coming days and thank him for his contribution, because that’s the proper way to do things. Not call him a rat and start wildly speculating about his treachery.

Honestly, if I’d worked for a company for nearly 10 years and gave my heart and soul and achieved great things and then saw the fans commenting like they are on this thread I’d probably be thinking I’d made the right decision.

Edit: I see the club statement has thanked him.

We're football fans, we don't have to be polite and wish him all the best. If he's been here ten years he knows how we feel about those rag scum. Same as the dipper rats. No amount of money would tempt me to work for either and I've not got a fraction of the wealth he has.
