Omar Berrada to the rags

[RodneyRodney]

its funny seeing people mention the charges for him leaving, if omar was about to be done for fraud united would be going nowhere near him, in fact it shows the opposite that theres nothing in them

I disagree completely.
I assume most of us have seen Goodfellas.
What if he's agreed to turn prosecution witness in exchange for immunity ?

This , unfortunately, could be The Apocalypse

Thing is JRB, they could get rid of Tent Peg tomorrow but there's simply not a human being alive in the world who's better at running a football club than Pep Guardiola. So whilst he's ours and not theirs, we will remain as the crème la crème.

With Pep, Khaldoon, Soriano, Tixi & Co at City there isn’t a PL club and a top European club run better. Hence the desperation for City to be found guilty of the 115 charges. If that happens City are out of the way for a long time, depending on the punishment.

Will be interesting to see how he gets on. Probably take a while and let’s see if he can do outside of the City set-up?

My read is that Ornstein has been crossed off City’s list of journalists that they will give info to.

Just my take.

Why? What’s he done?

 

[RodneyRodney]

lads, it has nothing to do with the charges. if we're found guilty of the crimes they're alleging, Omar will probably be going to jail. changing jobs doesn't change that.

Goodfellas

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.

Give over. It’s a major promotion and huge pay rise, plus he doesn’t have to relocate. It’s a disappointing, but understandable, decision that you’re reading far too much into.

Broken the story? It’s only a theory based from TH’s tweet.

I read it as meaning that Ornstein was getting much of his City info from Berrada personally, but who knows. Not that it really matters anyway.

In business most people know what you’ve done and can try to replicate it (usually unsuccessfully because it’s already been done).

The real power lies in the people that know what to do next. History suggests the visionaries are Soriano, Txiki and Pep.

Anyone else is replaceable.

Good post. I was thinking that our blueprint would be no secret to most good businesses. Emulating it is the problem - & it will cost the rags money that they can’t spend on the team.
as you say, we will always be evolving

however, it’s a shit thing to do on his part

What about leaving us for United?

Is it different if it’s not a player or manager?

No right or wrong answer! Does feel a bit cold for me.

(Might just be the heating not working though)

 

[argyle]

Trying to be objective as possible and not looking at things through Blue Tinted specs...

If the situations were reversed I really don't think the majority on here would be celebrating getting a utd exec.

Seriously?

He may have read too many of TrentGrisham and Fordyboy’s posts on here and decided he had to get out.

Ah ok. it was probably about to be common knowledge if the rags had anything to do with it. But Ornstein has seemingly burnt his boats

So, it’s the Premier League that has stymied the investigation into our charges, waiting for the rags to offer enough money to our COO?

Sounds legit.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Omar was on the City board. And he was probably privy to alsmot everything discussed at board level.

He wasn't. He may have been a senior executive but he absolutely wasn't on the board. The only full-time employee on the board is Simon Cliff.

Could well be.

Our team news might not be leaked anymore either!

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Never a boring day being a blue

 

[BringBackSwales]

At that level I’d expect him to be in at least 9 months to a years notice?

Good news. Now perhaps some folk will calm down. It’s just normal business….. however much it stinks. Good to hit the rags with though - they‘re now using our cast offs & want to copy our methods. We’re the leaders, they’re trailing behind
