Would really appreciate it if you could drop a like and leave a comment on this video. I'd love to do more in-depth, quality content like this and it does take a lot more time to do. Who is Dave Brailsford? He could be a big part of Manchester United's new football operations under Jim Ratcliffe, so here is everything you need to know about Brailsford's career to date, both the positives and the negatives.

The fact that Brailsford booted out Ratcliffes brother from Niece demonstrates that he doesn't mind ruffling feathers or isn't in the job as 'Jim's mate'.

This is proper content. Not just some loud mouth shouting opinions and rehashing other news

As someone who's followed road cycling for over 35 years including GBs indoor track team, I have no worries over Dave. He was the pioneer of marginal gains where he'd figured out if you breakdown down a sport into small components and then tried to improve each of those components by a couple of percent, overall those tiny percentages give you a performance boost. As Man Utd don't seem to have any money left, if he could boost Utd performance by tweaks that don't cost much, it may keep us in the hunt. He's not really been involved in the Ineos cycling team from a hands on approach, since Ineos bought Nice. From what I recall, Nice was the experiment to try and apply the knowledge learnt from marginal gains etc and the GB track and the Sky road cycling teams in order to build a blueprint that could be used in football. Now in cycling, all the other big cycling teams copied Sky's blueprint of marginal gains and managed to catch-up and even surpassed them. Where cyclists used to peek around the age of 25 for fitness, to the level of being able to ride and win a 3 week grand tour such as the Tour De France, we're now seeing 20 year olds, particularly from 2 rival teams, totally blow the rest of the field away!! Some assume they must be doping but they appear to pass the current drug tests and they've not found any electric motors in their bikes either!! Any concerns over doping from the Sky doctors days hasn't carried over to Ineos, as Ineos riders are often left way behind, unless its a specific discipline such as a time trial, where they have one of the best riders. I think since Dave pitched up his caravan in Nice, the Ineos cycling team has been on a downward spiral, so Ineos cycling's team loss, might be footballs gain!! The way Utd players stroll around the pitch, where their rivals seem to sprint everywhere, playing high pressing football, if Dave can make some marginal gains and give a boost to the Utd players, I'm all in!!

Love the Artwork in background Sam 👍

Studio is sublime 👌... would be great if van der sar could join be the man in between . Leaving ten hag to just concentrate on the team. ... 😊

The interview on The Dairy of a Ceo is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 this man is a Legend!

Set up looking clean Sam, great content as per, keep up the good work!

Top work as always Sam 👏👏

Again.. The structure is surely lacking at United and if these folks come in having learnt from their mistakes at Nice and do the job then again we surely will be all for it. But scrutiny from us as United fans from the get go will be there for all to see. I am hoping for a positive change and I hope that this sorts us out in a major way. Big ups Sam and the UPTV community

Forgot how good your videos are. Keep it up mate.

This makes Braibeailsford look good can’t lie.

Thanks Sam, looking forward to hearing more about who he is.

Really enjoyed the video, well done Sam. Always good to try to talk facts & detail in these uncertain times for utd

Nice. Love the background 😍 Let's see what unfolds.

Love the studio❤

Check out his interview on Diary of a CEO. He’s a pretty serious guy who values long term plan… having a clear structure. And he’s clearly against short term fixes like panic signings that Utd does. I liked his marginal gains theory. Him as a CEO instead of Richard Arnold works for me. But I also heard that he had cancer and I don’t know the situation now. Has he recovered?? Is it ongoing??

Hi Sam. Loving your new studio set up, looking good. 👌

Studio looks great Sam👏🏻

Lovely studio background Sam!👌

Sick setup. 🔥

Good work from you Sam 👍

great video, this. it's good to see that INEOS don't just have him for his previous successes but actually because he's got a great mind for fixing and improving a situation. i figure that he'd probably do an audit ASAP and only start making changes in about April or May so that everyone is in place for the summer window; that'll make January a time to just listen to EtH's ideas and outlook and hopefully help clear the dressing room of everyone that isn't pulling in the right direction and maybe going around FFP by replacing them with youth (Kambwala, Bennett for CB; Amad and Pellistri for RW and seeing if McNeill and Hugill can get into the first team squad up front) and rather having the January money go to conditioning and injury prevention practices.

The studio looks lit 🔥

Nice stuff Sam

He’s also a cycling doper too

New studio is crazy 🔥

New studio looks awesome m8

Studio looking clean

Holy 💩 new studio!

Hello Sam 🔰 and all Red Devils awesome content as always Top Salute and thank you.

Yo Sam, I thought the studio looked good when you unveiled it, but now that I'm seeing it in action damn it is sexy. Good job mate

Nice studio 👍🏼

If we know the club's strategic objective (sporting ambition) and the strategy we can assess if the man has the right competence (education + experience)!

I followed you from when your studio looks like that of an amateur. When you had less than 5k subscribers to this day when your studio looks way better than before and your subscriber count heading towards 500k. I celebrate you Sam and i root for you. I appreciate your consistency in making these videos and your attitude and love for United. Keep it going Brother. GOOD LUCK! 🥰🥰🥰

There is no doubt he's done wonders in Cycling a legend but this is football. No doubt he'll be on the panel alongside SJR but we need a proper footballing structure in place & that means bringing in Paul Mitchell aswell as a new CEO that knows what he's doing. A major revamp at bored level is desperately required. I don't want SJR & his team but unless Sheikh Jassim comes back in ( looks very unlikely ) then we just have to accept the inevitable. It's very important that if SJR does have control of all sporting aspects within the club that he hires the best out there. In order to run the club how A football club should be run we need to have actual proper footballing people within the board

Those who had read Atomic habits know that we had got Kohinoor Diamond or maybe something even more Valuable in our hands

The only person as CEO that can make most fans go crazy is Ralf Rangnick

I don't know what to expect from this appointment. I still remember Rangick's comment about United requiring an open-heart surgery and not small cosmetic changes. I wonder if small incremental changes would be afforded the time and faith at this club.

Awesome studio Wanted Sheikh Jassim but hope all goes well

Thanks for the info. I still expect more of the same in the form of a mediocre running of this once, now long ago great, club.

I'd like to sign Casper from Niece. I dont think our current team is capable of playing the high press with Onana as a ball playing keeper. We are too easy to get in behind with our lack of pace when Martinez is out.

Remember when Clive Woodward went to Southampton 😂

He’s got a hard job at United.

For Sam ❤

For those of us that have been watching his progress for YEARS in cycling...This could be an amazing 'addition' IF the clowns get out of his way.

RIP Manchester United

Sam you stated your concerned but you didn’t really have much to back that position up Ineos struggling now That’s it really

Another way to look at it if you drag a Glazer to see the mess they've put it through it may just work.

David Brailsford - someone so Shady Cycling doesn't want him back and in fact many teams wanted him sanctioned!! He thought sportswear all the same so thought football would be a doddle - he royally fucked up at Nice until he got someone in when could ACTUALLY do the job!! Brailsford ruined their youth academy, ruined their squad, saw the captain and ex DOF question his competence.... He's the definition of JOB for the Boys....

So from cycling to football united is joking

Concerns everywhere Sam. Hmm honestly I don't know anymore

The fans owe it to Sir Bobby and his legacy. Storm that Old Trafford pitch. Get games called off. FULL SALE ONLY GLAZERS OUT

Edwin Van De sar 😢

The studio has a pink look if you ask me

We are really really screwed man ratcliffe n glazers together this is the end

At this point every United news just pisses me off

Sports science?

No matter who's brought in Man utd were Doomed in as much as the Glaziers are in control

Dave Brrailford,must appoint Paul Mitchell to take charge of Man United

A sporting director from a background of bicycling from Derbyshire and a Glazer. I feel sorry for myself, but even more so for Haag. It us everyones fault, but their own with the board.

Sounds iffy to me

The more news I hear about this club the more I wanna 🤢🤮

The club will be mid table and a club that signs young players and then sell the best of them. That's what that prick Ratcliffe with the glazers are going to do to our club . Brace yourself fellow Manchester United FC fans😢😢 sad days ahead .

Utd are not even a top 6 team at the minute. A cycling man is going to save the day 😂love it .

Brailsford took charge of nice and literally destroyed it

Great video, But dave is very good and taken his sport attitude to high status, you don't know dave he is a winner and he will sort out the back room staff, these people have been having an easy ride at UTD and getting paid millions a year for UTD to fail and go down the pan, dave will sort this, he will get ride of the bluffers and con men inside UTD and Dead wood will be gone, give Dave time and he will sort out the club and appoint the correct men in the correct positions, as for Ineos cycling, he was not involved like sky, Jim had him doing other projects and issues in the background, and let's not get into the doctors scandal, and bring up rubbish like that, we need him at UTD end off, to take us back where we belong Top 4 at least and start to win leagues and trophies

Van der sar and paul mitchel are they to be aquired but we decide to go after a director in bicycling 😂😂😂😂

He won't be able to Implement his Audit quite so Easily at Man Utd? the fact they don''t Own the club outright is the biggest issue, then there's Joel, Him Still being involved in the Process is a Problem, he thinks he's the Sh1t But we all know, he'd be the 1st name, on Brailsford's List

If Jim comes in then all we can do is remain positive that Jim will put better people in place of Arnold, Murtough and Fletcher etc. The issue hasn’t been with Glazers spending money, it’s the fact that they don’t give a damn to put footballing people in charge. The other positive is that maybe Jim has cut his teeth at Nice and learned what’s required to run a club and that experience could prove necessary before jumping in to buying Man Utd. Even though the transformation with Sheikh Jassim would’ve been quicker we have to accept that it’s not happening and we have to be patient and hope that Ratcliffe can get full control and make us a better club over the next 5yrs.

Jumping the gun again, more speculation

These ppl will start the process again and it would take years to reach top. Qataris are need of the hour. Stadium, management , training complex all need changes if United were to win league in 2 years.

Sam you have said this before. Why should we believe you

Is He The Man for the job?

Media spin. Qatar is the best option. These other cosmetics are exactly that. Makeup not open heart surgery.

This video has taught me that you're a grifter. Brailsford will be the biggest reason for our upcoming success. Suggesting that he has to come in and make zero mistakes is silly . You learn from mistakes,he's turned nice around. Ultimately, this doesn't go anywhere close enough to highlighting the things he is very good at. Anyone who has followed cycling in the last 20 years knows how good this will be if he's put in charge. I can't wait for it

A footballing committee with no football experts in it, absolute leaches the lot of them.

Van der sar and paul mitchel are they to be captured but we decide to go after a director in bicycling 😂😂😂😂

I hate what this club has become.. boycott the club and get these muppets out

Ratcliffe, brailsford, Joel glazer, ? Not a football person in the group and they are deciding which players comes and which goes, the joke continues,😊

Has been

Are we going to be playing football on bikes now?

This appears like a Ralf Rangnick, a square peg in a round hole.

NO RATCLIFFE 🐀 GLAZERS_OUT 😠 😡 🤬 My friend your talking about Football and cycling 😂lol In another part of the the World it's just cycling ain't a sport 🤦🏽‍♂️

Burnt out

Get a footballing person in

Marginal gains 😂 that’s fallen on its head since all the doping stuff, but to be fair though they re all at it in cycling. Bottom line is he’s a “winner” and will do anything for a competitive advantage in any role he takes in life. A controlling personality, will ruffle feathers but perhaps United needs a shake up ??

RIP Manchester United, let's just get relegated it will save us time

🤣

I thought Manchester United were a football club. But those days are well gone it’s a three ring circus and a soap opera full of nonsense that actually has nothing to do with football

Hear me out! He won’t be worse than the people in charge right now

Another non football person we have had far to many of them for 18 years

Not a cyclists 🚴‍♀️

Trash with Nice and also Lausanne

Rat inos 🐀🐀🐀🐍

Looks like another Glazer to me

The guy is a nasty person and ruined UK cycling he transformed but not in a moral good way. Why are you not pointing this out it's well know in the cycling world. Not alot of research has been done here or you have chosen to to miss it out

sam the positivity merchant on the roll again. lets be real nothing has changed. the debt is what they are, the rat not doing anything about that. the stadium wont be fixed. we’re keeping the most overrated manager in the world. all that is changed is he is bringing someone named dave to replace someone named john?😂😂😂😂 we bollocked woodward for being a rugby guy, and this dave is cycling person. that is what he knows. he brought in pepe, joe bryan, 51 years old dante, aaron ramsey with half knees, and gross barkley, oh and 36 yo kasper schmeichel. what is the identity there? 😂😂

Manchester United finished

Another Manchester United failure 😂
