New leader, quick changes: Manchester United's CEO ousted by the incoming boss!

Manchester United fans' long-awaited wish for a change in ownership has finally come true. With Sir Ratcliffe officially acquiring 25% of Manchester United's shares, he has embarked on a reform journey. His first move was to dismiss the current CEO, signaling his commitment to real change.

After over a year of negotiations, Sir Ratcliffe's British Powerhouse Group successfully purchased 25% of Manchester United for £1.3 billion, gaining full operational control of the football aspect. The Glazer family, the former owners, will now step back and handle commercial operations. The agreement was quickly realized, and on Sir Ratcliffe's first day in office, he promptly ousted Manchester United CEO Richard Arnold.

Arnold's tenure as CEO lasted only 19 months, and his football operations received consistent criticism. High-priced signings failed to live up to expectations, and Manchester United often overpaid in deals, resulting in many players being considered flops. Sir Ratcliffe's decision to remove Arnold was attributed to his lack of vision and negotiation skills. Besides Arnold, the future of Manchester United's Football Director Muthu and Football Operations Director Harrison is uncertain, making them potential candidates for departure.

As for the new appointment, Sir Ratcliffe already has a target in mind. According to French outlet Foot Mercato, Sir Ratcliffe plans to appoint British Powerhouse CEO Jean-Claude Blanc as the new CEO of Manchester United. Blanc has previously worked with Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus before joining the British Powerhouse Group. The new boss is making swift changes, undoubtedly driven by his own vision and ambitions. The actual results, however, will require some time to be validated.

That's right! Look at Manchester United now, it's been a decade, and there's no sign of recovery. If they don't get rid of this useless waste, are we supposed to wait until he squanders all the family assets?

Heard about it that day, didn't expect it was the CEO getting fired. Originally thought it might be time to bid farewell to the coach.

The new boss is usually not someone to be trifled with, haha. Fired someone right off the bat!

This man is the richest man in the UK, unlike those Americans who only understand investment and know nothing about football. Moreover, he owns two football clubs, Nice in Ligue 1 and Lausanne Sport in Switzerland. This  man has considerable experience in the field of football. So, if Manchester United really gives him full authority over football operations, I think there is some hope for the revival of Manchester United.

The current state of Manchester United is just too chaotic. Since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, Manchester United has been like a sick cat, not winning a single Premier League title. Although they have made a lot of money in business, their performance in football is disappointingly poor. They need someone who truly understands football to take charge. The recently sacked CEO was indeed quite useless.

In recent years, Manchester United has spent a fortune on some mediocre players. For example, Anthony Martial, who is hardly worth a hundred million. I find it hard to believe that these deals didn't involve some kickbacks. Perhaps the next step in the overhaul should be getting rid of the manager. After taking office, the current manager has been buying players who are his close associates, and they are all under his economic company. I think there might be some big tricks behind this. I hope the richest man in the UK can lead Manchester United to a speedy revival and put an end to Manchester City's dominance.
