One step removed from Neville's 'best in class' trope
So to address that they've acquired a 71yo billionaire minority shareholder supporter and Jason Wilcox
The football world is trembling at the prospect!
And if all else fails blame the Glazers, who to date have 5 PL titles and a European Cup under their tenure
I don't know any other industry where you would have people making decisions on acquisitions who aren't experts in that given field. So sneer at the football people comment all you want, its a basic short hand for people making decisions about which they have experience and expertise in. But I'm guessing you know that already.
It isn't about one man either, it is about getting a structure in place that can make strategic footballing decisions that are not manager dependent, to prevent the club ending up in the position they currently are with a mish mash of players from 5 different managers.
In a proper structure which INEOS are attempting to put in place, this wouldn't be allowed to happen.
