Neville on Tv last night talking about the difference between City and the rags, paraphrasing him, we are miles away not just on the pitch but off it and that what worries me the most.
The Galzers have a stranglehold on the club and there's nothing that anyone can do about it, it appears that they are only interested in the what it provides them financially. They are lucky to be in the position they are and its only by birth not chosen for their talents and its clear if you look at their board
Avram Glazer – Executive Co-Chairman and Director. ...
Joel Glazer – Executive Co-Chairman and Director. ...
Edward Woodward – Executive Vice Chairman and Director. ...
In 2005, Woodward advised Malcolm Glazer and the Glazer family during its successful takeover of Manchester United. Whilst working for PWC
Richard Arnold – Group Managing Director and Director. ...
Mate of Ed’s from PWC
Cliff Baty – Chief Financial Officer. ...
Chartered Accountant worked at Ernst Young, Ladbrokes, Hilton Group and Sportech
Kevin Glazer – Director. ...
Bryan Glazer – Director.
Apart from the family, Woodward and Arnold they got the gig as they worked for Glazers at PWC advising them on the take over
When you look at City's board the members are experienced international business men with credentials that qualify them to be members not just sperm
Then looking at the management structures of the businesses City have an executive management team with highly qualified members in their field of expertise, I can't find any information on the rags executive team, im sure they have some good people but probably by accident
The problems at the rags can be traced back to Ferguson falling out with Magnier and McManus and his greedy over the horse Rock of Gibraltar, this facilitated the takeover by Glazer and the downward spiral, compounded by no succession planning for the retirement of Ferguson and Gill leaving at the same time. Of course they asked Ferguson who should succeed him and he nominated a Scots man who clearly was out of his depth and not wanted by the fans. They have then gone from disaster to disaster with clueless management appointments and players signings. For 18 months its been rumoured that they want a director of football and it looks like Phelan will get the job How absolutely wonderful
Now the stadium is getting critised for being run down and needing investment
