What will Manchester United's structure look like if Jim Ratcliffe makes the changes he is expected to? Sam runs through where the likes of Jean-Claude Blanc, Dave Brailsford and Paul Mitchell fit in as well as discussing who else is likely to follow Richard Arnold and John Murtough out the exit door.

It's critically important that he clears out ALL the mediocrity from ALL levels, including players. There's been far too much tolerance for incompetence, indecision, lack of vision, strategic planning, disastrous negotiations with transfers, accountability, scouting etc. We're a shambles and it must be rectified ruthlessly, efficiently and quickly. We've wasted a decade and been surpassed by our rivals, the rot must stop before it's terminal.

This is the best United fan channel on KZfaq. Calm , insightful conversation,taking time to research things first before going in guns blazing yelling and spewing nonsense

The club need to agree on a style of play and forward strategy. They then get the manager to implement it and the players to deliver it. If a manager leaves or a player moves on it’s no problem they just keep to the plan and get the personnel the plan.

I know we’ve moved on but letting go Rangnick still hurts

The stament you were looking for was "Joel Glazers just there to collect his dividends"

"Joel Glazer is just there" No more words needed at this point.

Great breakdown Sam...hopefully we don't have too many people making decisions

The recent Interview on the Telegraph with Farioli. The Nice Coach was phenomenal. I recommend reading it

Well Set out and Explained Buddy :)

Well done Sam. Thoughtful and informative.

Great video really enjoyed the graphics making this simple. I hope Blanc comes out and details the 5 year plan…

Great video Sam. Hope this comes to fruition

Great video 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 this made me subscribe to the channel very well explained

We need this structure sorted out asap and people put into position. The longer this saga goes on, the worse it will be for the club - roll on the good times (I hope!)

Great video Sam....as always. I suspect you wont be far off from how the new organogram would be setup.

Darren Fletcher. What does he bring. I don’t get how he walks into a high level job at a club like MUFC without first proving himself.

I feel you man , i went through 30 years of banter , at least you are trying

The most critical link in an organisation with a board and a management team is between the Chair and senior manager (CEO in this case). Get that right and you have clarity of vision and the purpose of the roles in the org. The Board should be employing and listening to experts to inform their vision (let's hope their vision is more than "get rich"); while the Chair oversees the strategy, it's communication and dealing with complaints; with the CEO as the ultimate manager of the required experts and resources. Between them they set out the function and resource requirements (experts) to achieve the Boards vision and carry out the strategy. Warning - A vision is not necessarily long term, though it normally is. That is why these changes at the top are so critical for Man U, because since the Glazers took over the CEOs have been financiers rather than football club experts. That has caused a problem in developing a football vision and the strategy to achieve it. There is a question that the Glazers even had a vision or strategy beyond finance.

Love this vid Sam, cautiously optimistic about SJR and their eventual takeover!

Amazing analysis Sam. Hopefully it turns into reality.

Great work Sam 👍👍👍

I’m hoping this set up you have put forward is true because it looks strong and sensible

The best United channel❤

Another very informative insight into MU’s possibly future. Thanks, Sam, for all your hard work, appreciated. Tom.

thnx Sam

Looks like a good backbone (Would be better without Jole) its much like on the pitch how we need a good spine to pass the ball and win games.

Proper journalist, proper content creator, real fan. 😊❤

You get the right people at the top and it runs itself. Sponsors will be licking their lips to get involved with the club . A massive plus is other clubs know Manchester United ain't a push over anymore. Onwards and upwards. GLAZERS OUT ASAP

By revamping the hierachy with proper footballing people we can finally implement long term strategies that'll benefit us now & the long term. No more short term signings together with Ten Hag there needs to be a proper style proper communication between all parties. All key decisions have to be agreed. These changes will have a vast improvement in how the club operates where we'll no longer piss money away sign players we shouldn't be signing aswell aswell as dish put ridiculous contracts to players. More stability is whats needed. If players arent happy at the club get rid of them build around the players that suits the vision long term of the manager

What will happen is that the Glazers will take the money and nothing will change unless its in a legally binding contract then nothing will change. I hope im wrong.

Met Dave Many years ago nice Bloke Ineos is British not Arab British i know rare these days its the UK Best Run Company in my opinion Jim Ratcliffe is self made Man So for you haters out there Get Stuffed So Good luck Jim,Dave Ineos and Man Utd👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Jean-Claude Blanc is in charge of INEOS Sport. I doubt he will be CEO in long term because not many people can manage dual roles at different companies in different places. He most likely will help out then they hire another CEO who answer to Jean Claude Blanc.

justin cochrane isnt at the club by the way anymore he joined brentford last year'

Amazing work Sam. Thanks for all your inputs.

I think even i had doubts at Jim's acquirement. I started to look at the big picture and for the long-term fixing United need ineos is the best shot we have at doing it quickly. Of course Qatari money would have been great but they don't have sporting experience, they would be throwing money around alot, and believe me money isn't always the correct solution to a situation like this. Jasim is a fanboy and as a fanboy we usually spent money on thing we love ( not in Jasim level am not rich)but that doesn't naturally mean that we make the best choices and that may be what will happen if he comes in. But Jim has decades of experience and althoughnot the same amount of money but in this project an experienced owner will be much more preferable than one with alot of money. Let's look at it this way do you want to be in extravagant fast growing project like Dubai that without the oil money may collapse or a steadily built city like Singapore that is as a result of a thought out structure and will last longer because it has been built longer. Tell you this take away Guardiola and City would be nothing if they didn't get him when they did, lets see them when he leaves for a few years. That's what i got ro and saw the practicality of Jim more than Jassim.

Dougie Freedman - Technical director?

Here we go! Here we go! English Championship League we go. All the other clubs in the EPL waving this lot Bye Bye has they slowly desent into the lower league. That is how much confidence I have in a Club that once had the title "Great."

How on earth does someone outside the club know if there are questions over certain background staff? Are you privy to appraisals? Do you have a contact in MUFC HR? Or is this pure conjecture?

Should consider recruiting new scouts

Sir jim should atleast has to take 51% stakes to truly change man utd.

Why the glazers doesn't want to leave I just don't understand

This looks awesome but will it happen I hope it does but after so much that has gone wrong I don't see it happening I hope I am wrong

Let's hope this works Sam

Your chart needs some work. Org charts go down, not sideways. Also 3 levels between owners and ETH? All that bureaucracy would sink our club further.

If i was Ten Hag, I'd instruct my agent to make a few inquiries into possible interest from other clubs???

Nothing will change let alone improve until the glazers are gone. Unfortunately for the fans the glazers are not going anywhere for the foreseeable future so I'm still not convinced that United are moving forward.

Certain channels want to put a negative spin on Jim coming in but I just want to point out United HAVE spent a lot of money even if it’s not directly from the glazers pockets they’ve just recruited poorly and overpaid. With Jim he’ll control the footballing side of things and he has the potential to rid of the deadwood in the staff and recruit people in who know how to properly scout and recruit based upon a managers style of play and system. United don’t need Jim to come in and spend £500M on the playing squad, they need him to come in appointment the correct CEO and the correct DOF. Some people won’t like this but shift out your high earners; rashford , sancho , Bruno , Varane , Casemiro , Maguire , martial etc United need to overhaul the contracts of players, stop basic them such a high basic wage and start including performance based bonus incentives. Rashford is one example played his socks out for a new 300K deal then he got it now what’s he done? Absolutely nothing rarely wants to put a shift in because he knows regardless of performance he’s getting 300K a week minimum. United could definitely use a feeder club in Europe too, start poaching the best talents early from your South Americas , North American, Asia’s etc and send them on loan for a season or two to adapt to Europe then if they’re good enough integrate them into the first team. It would save a lot of money doing this instead of letting players go sign permanently for a club so you can keep an eye on them and if they develop how you predicted then you pay 5/6x the amount you could of paid to begin with.

🎉🎉

New Era after post Sir Alex era... I bet, man utd will be different after summer (january).. we will stay where we deserved🎉

We need Ragnick to become football director

Ooh its new, brand new, led by an OAP strapped for cash, how exciting

What has fletcher ever done to warrant such a high position… he shouldn’t even be a ball boy at United

Management must change. Management have messed up

🎉

It’s a very corporate structure

Thank f Arnold and murtaugh are gone, a two in the right direction

Looks like a recipe for more infighting; Jimbo will be wanting to increase his share of ownership whilst the Glaziers will be trying to increase the share price, with the club getting into more debt.

United are always going to have a comercial reach with our fan base but we have fallen behind big time on the pitch ,we simply havent had enough elite players since that squad that we won our last champions lg with its gradually deteriorated since then .when we were consistently winning and challenging for big trophies we always had a few players who were amongst the best in their positions in europe .That needs to be the priority getting world class players through the door .i like ten haag and while he probably hasnt been able to sign all the players he really wanted like de jong and kim min jae who would have been great additions out of the players he has brought in only licha looks upto it .hopefully we can finally get rid of some of these average squad players and sign some quality .id go for hakimi , tobido , barella,camavinga when hes fit again .almiron and toney sell rashford hes good on his day but too inconsistent. And go back to 442 and start attacking the opposition instead of fannying around .hakimi and almiron down the right would be a right handfull with toney and hoijlund up top shaw and garnacho on the left

Looks good I agree Darren Fletcher doesn’t have role Would like him still there to ensure at senior level Manchester United Ways are still happening I know we got many ambassadors, he should be more, ensuring all squads and new players know what United is, the history The rest will be good for business, Fletcher ensures United still there I feel he has been trying to do that but having to fill other roles he not prepared for and no support He sticks to ensuring man United is kept

Don't get our hopes up just yet mate

Justin Cochrane went last summer I think?

Arnold & Murtough sign Ten Hag.. Ten Hag have agreement how to rule & manage team.. Sir Jim change the structure & maybe have name the new manager who's suit their style..

I'd love to see Erik ten Hag focused on coaching instead of being head of scouting and the mental health department. I think having a long term vision would do wonders for the club. And though I think Erik is a good manager I wouldn't be opposed to seeing him leave. But only if it's because SJR, Blanc and Brailsford decide his style doesn't fit with what they have in mind for the future of the club.

Still rather underwhelmed by this Ratcliffe takeover

It's not up to date. Justin Cochrane left in 2021.

Dreaming doesn't cost a penny. The Glazers are pocketing 650m to let the club appoint 2 or 3 people to give the club a structure every other club already have. I have very little faith. SJR will probably make money out this too but he has stopped real changes from happening, don't you ever forget that.

Look not one of these people are investment bankers! There is no way the Glazers will allow these to run his club.

I really don't see how Jean Claude Blanc's role will work if INEOS will only be in charge of the footballing side

If we still have to wait for the Glazers go ahead on football decisions then what’s the point in having Jim? We NEEDED a full sale, the glazers needed to go - we are not going to reach the levels of Man City

Couldn't disagree more Sam I hate the "Head Coach" tag it basically means ETH gets given players he doesn't want and just has to deal with it because he's not the manager

Dream on...

Love the channel good sense but please stop saying 25% takeover it’s a 25% investment and glazers still in charge so I don’t think any major changes will happen till the leaches are gone

What about the womans team Sam?

As long as ten fraud is out of the club, we might have a chance to get better

Clear glazers soon

Speculation, how can a structure be explained before takeover even confirmed, jumping the gun

where is psychologist in your structure?

United are being run as a old boys club as long as u had affiliation with the club weather former player or come through the ranks u will have a position on the hierarchy of the club when there a much better qualified and experienced people out there dat is the problem

It can’t be any worse than it is now

Get rid of everyone I say. Start again, they’re all incompetent and Rangnick already said he doesn’t know what Fletcher does when he came in and ripped the club a new one.

How will it work.? IT WON'T WORK.!

Glaziers must stop destroying the club. The players must want to play if not they must leave

Nice a man with 30billion in the bank is spending his money on important stuff while shutting down one sixth of the UK oil refinining capacity. All you Man U fans in Scotland can look forward to more expensive petrol next year.... now that Forties Pipeline oil will go to Grangemouth, be put in a tanker, be refined in Rotterdam or the Humber, come back on a tanker. Top bloke.

The big question is.. is this ever going to end thought it was done last week

A way for the glazers to mask their complete lack of undestanding of football whilst retaining a stranglehold over the clubs finances. An absolute embarrassment.

I hate to be negative but you can't visualise and predict anything when it comes to united because they will do completely the opposite of what is logical and reasonable. The club is cursed.

Whether it's good or bad i don't see Ten Hag as manger with this much change

Gg

Was Brailsford the guy, that led the team Sky cycling team into the murky world of possible performance enhancing substance abuse??? Sincere apologies if I'm misinformed, not wishing to spread malicious rumours....

I am getting tired of this saga. When will we find an agreement ? It was last week then this week

The glaziers gotta go end of they are making to much money and NOTHING going back into club ⚽️⚽️⚽️🙏🙏

Nothing will change with the Glazers still being here. It's all just musical chairs. People forget. We had Fergie and David Gill. Short memories. Remember the "No value in the market." Remember Obertan & Bebe signings? The dogshit was occurring before Ferguson retired. That Old Trafford pitch needs storming like they did in both Spain and Italy recently. Get games called off. FULL SALE ONLY GLAZERS OUT

The manager also needs to change.

Why are you excited again?? Leaches upon leaches we can't operate still

We are doomed!!!!

The spine you go on about still has Glazer at the top, what don't you get about how crap this really is!

B.S bro forget the hype man utd will fail under Jim just bet it

Manu the living DEAD.
