Rival fans want Ten Hag to stay and Utd board to give him more time. When Pep & Klopp rocked up the Prem, you could see what style of play they wanted their teams to play. Ten Hag in his 2nd season with the majority of players at the club, his signings, and players he wanted to keep. Yet their isn't a style of play in place or any patterns of play. After spending over £400 million in 2 summer windows, they still play like they did under Ole. Add to the fact every Premier league team now has the financial muscle in the transfer market compared to the rest of the leagues around Europe, makes instant success harder to achieve.

Glazers a convenient scapegoat? Jordan is high of his rockers

I firmly believe that a significant proportion of Man Utd's fanbase are not patient enough for them to return to where they were 10-15 years ago. You can't just buy a bunch of players and waltz back to the top. It takes years. You're gonna have to go through difficult times, you need to allow players to develop and you need to have a vision you can stick to. The issue for Man Utd is we go through cycles where they want to build a young team for the future but then after 18 months fans get impatient, the owners get jock itch, sack the manager and go on a massive spending spree and expect to challenge for the title the next season. Ultimately this is driven by a fanbase that cannot accept not winning and it's why we will be dancing this same dance for years.

He's on the payroll clearly

It’s the entire leadership from CEO to scouting network at united. Glazers paid a lot of money for transfers. From academy to recruitment quality is absolutely rotten. The fact they keep average players Rashford and think he’s elite is an indicative of what’s wrong with the club. Keeping average players from the academy and giving them crazy contracts is astonishing.

Jordan will always protect the owners no matter what

As a business owner, its your responsibility to hire the best people for the job. If you don't, its your fault. Stop beating around the bush

Simon attributes the success of Man Utd to David Gill and SAF but says it’s nothing to do with the owner. It has everything to do with the owner. The owner has to have faith in the direction and act accordingly. Luckily for ME he’d picked two great people. I’m sure he would have changed things if things went a different way. The Glazers kept Ed in place for years and he clearly didn’t have the acumen to run the sporting side of the business, commercially brilliant. But look at the players signed, signed for commercial reasons more then the ability to fit into a team/system. The problem with this style of running a club is the global decline in revenue. If you want this to continue, you need success on the pitch for new generations of fans to come through. You only have to look at how many city shirts you now see outside of Manchester. I never used to see any but I see a lot more now and this is driven first hand by success on the pitch which in hand drives commercial success.

If a hospital hires a mechanic to do the job of a brain surgeon and the patient dies in the process,whose fault is it then?

Haha Simon has fell off so bad hasn't recovered since eddy gave him a spanking 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It’s said that a fish rots from the head and if the head of the stream is dirty then there’ll be no clean water at the bottom. They’ve not hired the best in class to oversee the football operations. There’s never been a clear philosophy so the recruitment process has been poor. They over pay average or below players, who they can’t get rid of when it’s time. So if the ownership isn’t responsible for this situation then who is? and let’s not talk about the stadium and training ground

Simon is bang on. The owners are not fully to blame. To have the largest net spend means the owners are spending money, all be it money made via their commercial business. The blame is that money spent has been spent badly, just like my club Everton. If the money was spent on quality, and a Ferguson version two had been appointed they would be winning and United fans would be happy. It’s wasted money, simple as that. The club is number one in terms of commercialisation so that’s not the issue. Agree again with Simon on expectations. United fans have this belief they are entitled to being number 1, but so do Liverpool fans. We all can’t be top dog! Newcastle fans want to win everything of course they do, just like every club, but do they really expect to win it all, probably not just yet, but that time will come.

From football point of view Chelsea had the best owner in Abramovich. So loosing was going to be a disaster. Simon comparing Glazers to Abramoviche is wrong.

Man United spend massive amounts on the team - so you can't argue they don't invest in the club. The issue is that they've appointed Executives who don't have the required football knowledge to appoint the right people, make the right signings and invest in the right areas. As long as the club continues to grow financially its not an issue for the Glazers (like under Woodward). They should intervine more to get the footballing side of things right but too far and you end up with Boehley who is playing live action football manager. The Glazers aren't faultless but to say everything wrong at Utd is because of them and not because of poor management, bad scouting and coaching, disruptive managers is seriously over simplifying the situation. Their mistake is not sacking Woodward when he couldn't fix the football side of the business and that may be the mistake they're continuing to make.

the owners of the club are the ones responsible for appointing those making the football decisions so the buck stops with the, , also it's not their money they have put in it's all debt leveraged against the club. They only ever put in like 200 million , the servicing on the debt is more than that. To say they have invested is a piss take.

It starts from the top down though so the buck stops with the Glazers. An owner of a failing company or organisation should seriously make improvements to change its fortunes or sell up. These leeches won't do either

Owners only need to worry about 2 things - how much money am I willing to put at risk and who will manage all this for me. For those arguing about the money , remember that football success makes the Glazers wealthier, so of course they do want that. Also Utd already throw insane amounts of money around so how much more does it take for you to be successful? Its all down to management and unfortunately Utd haven't found a management team capable of getting the footballing decisions right. Their commercial successes stopped them getting sacked but that is the mistake the Glazers made. Also remember that Utd don't have a right to win everything. You can't clone Pep or Klopp and no matter how well you do there is always someone ready to raise the bar. Even getting all the footballing decisions right doesn't guarantee success.

They are 100% to blame. They put Ed Woodward in charge, they didn't put a proper modern footballing structure in place, they haven't invested in the stadium/facilities, they have taken dividends and not invested any money (transfers came from club''s income).

Simon is legend i love his opinions he solid in what he says 💙💙

This is highly contradictory...you can't say they are easy scapegoat and then go and say they are making the decisions

You simply cant defend the lack of investment by the Glazers when it comes to the infrastructure of the club - the stadium is in an awful state - they are more than happy packing the fans in but wont fix the leaks in the roof.

Simon needs to back the courage of his conviction

That thumbnail of Simon should be on the mantle piece.

the glazers didnt make ten hag buy mount who had a horrible season for 60 million and give him the number 7 shirt.

I feel like people are commenting on this from a footballing standpoint only but keep forgetting the business part. He's not wrong.

glaziers have spent the money on the club, its the buying of overated players is the problem. and the money has been wasted on big wages on sancho.antony,fred.bailly,van de beek

Every time this guy opens his mouth you see why he ran Crystal Palace into bankruptcy. Even rival fans understand how terrible the Glazers are. If this was a smaller club they'll be in league two now.

The club's debt may not be the problem at all due to debt refinancing and commercial revenue that has increased manyfold over the last 15 years. However, whoever buys a club or a company in the leveraged buyout has no interest behaving as it is expected from an owner. For Glazers this is nothing but a speculation or mathematics; borrow money to buy an asset, increase the asset's market value and revenue to cover operating and financing costs, squeeze out as much money as possible while spending as little as possible, and eventually sell at the highest possible price or when a cow makes no more milk. I think he is right in that Glazers are not the only problem and their escape may not improve situation overnight. In addition to competent finance directors who will keep developing commercial business that is capable of covering probably overpaid players, interest and other costs, the club will still need a competent sporting director and a manager to start with. While Glazers did a good job in increasing commercial revenue of the club, they know absolutely nothing about football and don't have any interest in it as they surely have an exit strategy once their United game is no longer lucrative for them. For that they are guilty. Also, United has some big names on the pitch, but performance has consistently been insufficient. Understanding and solving this problem may take a lot more effort than simply driving Glazers out. Ferguson and Gill did splendid job and they are difficult to replace. Worse yet, scouting and other club's functions were left rusty since 2013 as Ferguson used to rely more on his own genius. And the landscape has definitely changed with a lot of money being poured into the other football clubs. Glazers are not fools; they probably anticipate more interest from American investors after the World Cup in US which may lead to a record-breaking market price of any sports team, and many other factors. They may be sitting here for quite a while. The only thing fans can do is to stop attending games as a sign of the protest against the owners. This will harm the club's reputation and is the only thing that can surprise Glazers and make them run like rats from a flooding basement.

FFP need to take a look at United, with the share price crash, and owing the bank £500 mil

Engage your brain!

United are not a top club anymore, it’s as simple as that.

Simon needs to understand the failures are multifaceted- the stadium is being left behind, the staff structure is behind, the facilities are crumbling… that all was happening under fergie but now the on pitch side of things is failing they have no where to hide. They’re the only owners who have negatively impacted the club in every metric. They take more out then they put in. Palace are small united are huge- they should be the biggest spenders without the glazers, it’s uniteds generated money not owner sugar money

You said haven’t had a generationally great manager since Fergie? You’ve consistently said Mourinho is one of the all time greats and you still claim he is. What happened there?

Jim Newcastle was in-line to get relegated before Mike Ashley sold and there was no uproar you’re being silly

They’ve been the biggest net spenders in the last 20 years. Can hardly blame them. Utd fans need to get a grip and get behind the glaziers 😂

West Ham have players like Paqueta, Kudas, Bowen, Alvarez. These are the type of players United should be going for not bloody Mason Mount and Antony. The Galzers gave Ten Hag money and he wasted it has no one to blame but himself simple as

Lets see how things pan out Mr Jordan.

Can’t compare Chelsea. That had huge fortunes and spending before Bohley

It's fair to say that football has changed and other teams have caught up and since eclipsed Manchester United. But if that was an inevitability then it's even more of a damning indictment of how the Glazers have mismanaged the club. If you're in a management position, and you're not exactly welcome in the first place, then hiring the wrong people to run the job then it is ultimately your fault. If you don't have the foresight to adapt and maintain your position as an elite footballing force, then you shouldn't be in charge of the brand. The only thing United have managed to maintain is their spending, and that is because of its strength as a brand with astronomical revenue. The money going out is money coming in. There's no sense of personal investment in the club as an asset. The Glazers are more than happy to be guys standing over a conveyor belt.

The owners are entirely to blame, if they hadn't put the club in debt, had installed a top sporting director and recruitment/scouting team from day one instead of bankers making footy decisions then they club would have been more successful

Look. I'm a New York Mets fan. They had garbage ownership for 30 odd years. They sold 3 years ago and the new owner has spent a ton to try and improve them. They're still not good. Bad ownership takes years to overcome.

Simon has forgotten the work of Peter Kenyon whilst Chief Exec for 6 years (97-2003). Broke the strict wage structure of Edwards. Brought in Rio Ferdinand, Juan Sebastian Veron, Cristiano Ronaldo. Gill did not begin his legacy until 2003-2013

A former bad football club owner defending bad football club owners. It is to be expected.

They have spent more because they have incompetent owners and also turn over far more than other clubs. Not a chance would Maguire and McTominay still be at a Chelsea or a City.

I think Simon speaks a lot of sense, but to suggest that things wouldn't change if there was a change of ownership is really a bit daft.

Go on jim, putting a bit of pressure on Simon there 😂

These managers get backed and make stupid decisions every single time. Any manager that thinks making Bruno captain at Manchester United deserves the sack alone

Jim's analogy is bizarre - FSG couldn't help but improve Liverpool given the state of the club when they took over. Unhappy though United fans are these days, but they're not hours away from bankruptcy. Jordan is quite right to note that repalcing the Glazers isn't inevitably going to make United better. And United fans will need to be realistic because even if they get the right owners going forward it'll likely take some time to fix everything that needs to be fixed.

Very true, however, with the glazers family in charge the process of fixing all the problems can't start. For me, as a united fan, all I want is the opportunity for the football club to wipe the slate clean and start again. If it takes another decade to fix it then so be it. There is no future under the glazer family.

because MU have more money duing their dominan period where they can buy the best engtlish players but now not anymore chelsea and man city are around

According to Simon Jordon, the more money you have the more infallible you are.

SJ always moving the goal post lol

For the first time I agree simon. Which is surprising for me as well. 😲

So letting the stadium rot is who's fault?

I just dont get Simon. Theres no logic here. The Glazers OWN the club. They can hire and fire anyone they choose to as Simon did on a weekly basis for Palace. Simon seems to be going for the "Tsar being let down" by his council when its the Tsar that with all the power and the ability to choose whomether he/she wants. No, they dont need to micromanage everything from training sessions to catering but they need to make sure that every role is filled with the right talent and with the same goal and ethos. We have seen Abramovic do it with Chelsea and Klopp at Liverpool.

I blame The Glaziers for not hiring the proper scout for recruitment. After Sir Alex united bought rubbish players and yet Glaziers spent over a billion dollars. Having finished in the top 4 , instead of buying Madsen, Guihe from Crystal Palace , Eze and Doucurie from Crystal Palace , what did they buy. United must buy players from the premier league. Not players from other leagues who never played in the premier league. I blame the recruitment people.

Old Trafford is rusting mate..I guess Glazers paid Simon something to say this crap 🙄

Klopp has changed Liverpool. Not FSG

Jim White is on the money here, he knows the Glazers are rotten and are ruining the best club in England. It's funny how Jordan doesn't talk about Old Trafford rotting......

Glazers put their loan manager in charge of hiring and firing managers and staff.

When its your responsibility to employ the likes of Ed Woodward, Richard Arnold, John Murtaugh, Darren fletcher and Eric Ramsay, all of whom should be working in factories, to run the Club and its youth team and recruitment, then it's clearly on you.

With respect Simon, the Glazers hired Woodward, Ole, and have overseen the entire business. It's ultimately on them. The Glazers set the culture as does any businessowner. Youshould know that as a seasoned businessowner. Woodward was an employee of the Glazers. One can hire an executive and give him/her autonomy but they're still accountable! With respect Simon, you're being a Glazers' apologist, just as you're a Levy apologist cos he's your bro. Boehly has been there for a year. FSG whilst derided by some Liveprool fans did hire Klopp and he obviously led them to great success. You took an L here Simon, a rare one, all the same.

He's right, no matter how the fans will look at it, money has been spent within the team, even if it's not their own. The recruitment has been bad, that is managerial so the ones below the glassiers are running it into the ground.

Football is so elite and competitive now compared to Ferguson day that you need best in class in all departments. Glazers have been poor in almost every area of their ownership. Net spend is so high because they buy poorly and overpay wages and can’t sell players as a result . The net spend being so high is a reflection of how bad the glazers have been.

It’s almost like the fans haven’t wanted them out until this point. Think he needs to do research. They’ve never been welcome. Newcastle have won next to nothing really in their history so they’re not the same.
