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

[waspish]

If the club truly valued someone in their role and saw them as vital to City, I would like to think we would at least match whatever another club offers to keep them. Especially to stop a valuable employee with insider knowledge leaving to a bitter rival.

Nope our history shows we pay well but if someone wants to go we let them!

Tolmies comment sounds like if we are guilty then Omar is guilty. I couldn't care less what omarvwas or wasn't involved in, I'd prefer that we were just found not guilty and are left alone once and for all

Think you got the wrong end of the stick mate cause it sounded nothing of the sort to me!

Yep Ratcliffe had to make a big appointment like this to show he mean business! He has offered a major job and be responsible to bring in who he wants and the magic words would have been name your number! He might even poach people from under him to the rags too! It's the way of the world and big business..

They're repeating the strategy of buying big name players, regardless of how they fit into a team, in the offices. And the strategy of buying big name players hasn't actually been a roaring success has it?

All these big egos who've never worked together before trying to make their mark is bound to end badly.

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.

If Omar was viewed as Soriano's successor, then what the fuck is he doing at the rags.

That's like leaving a job with Rolls Royce to work at a scrap yard.

We only have one indispensable non-playing person at City, and it’s not this guy, although he is bald

I think this is a shrewd move from them and will strengthen the rags hand. Every thing that’s wrong with them starts from the top so that sir Jim guy in my opinion has been pretty clever with this move much to my disappointment.

Let's hope! But sooner or later they'll get it right difference now is they'll be fighting for top Honours with us Arsenal Liverpool and probably Chelsea! It's not the 90/00's anymore..

Think some are getting a bit ott here, ratcliffe has ownership of 3 football clubs and wants to copy our global model, so no supprise he has poached one of ours, but lets be honest hardly nobody on here or the rag fans knew who berrada was until this overly reported non story of man gets new higher status job in same sporting field broke last night.

This shit happens all the time across business, what exactly is he gonna tell them? Invest in south america, the US and asia, build academies and community projects in targeted nations? create an Esport team to tap into that market?


Our stratergy is hardly being kept a secret, we are not MI5 with vast secrets to protect like some on here seem to think, we're a business and various contractural ruls will apply to what info he can take with him.

Beside he is basically a highly skilled telecomunications and investment negotiator, who has worked closely under Txiki and has football recruitment expertise something their outgoing CEO hasn't got despite being successful at making them comercially attractive even while being shite on the pitch, smacks to me like they want someone with conmection to european and global football and a knowledge of the Esport franchises to drag them out of the 90s, even of successful this is at least a 5-10 year project before it brings them any joy


I would be more bothered if they had poached Marwood who runs our football network

Jesus....

I've just heard that Mr & Mrs Moonchester have been seen on Warwick Rd !!

The end is neigh i tell thee,the end is neigh !!

There is no guarantee any appointment will work but the fact is it's a huge improvement in what they have had previously.

Sad they have appointed a very decent operator.
