Ratcliffe on Erik ten Hag: "What I would say, if you look at the last 11 years, Man United have had quite a few coaches".

"Nobody has been successful in that Manchester United environment".

"That would say to me that there's something wrong with the environment".

Sir Jim Ratcliffe: "We're really, really clear about that [financial growth] - It's football-led. So if we're successful on the pitch, then everything else will follow."

Sir Jim Ratcliffe: "To be honest, I don't think I'll ever lose money. For me it's not about a financial investment. The objective was to get involved and being influential in the future of Manchester United".

Sir Jim Ratcliffe: "I know the world these days likes instant gratification but that's not the case with football really. Look at Pep Guardiola at Man City, it didn't happen overnight, it takes time to build a squad but you know it's not really the way that we're looking at it from a squad point of view."

Sir Jim Ratcliffe: "The key challenge here is that longer term, we need to do things well and properly, and thoroughly, and not rush at it, so it's not an overnight change, it's going to take two or three seasons. You have to ask the fans for some patience."

Sir Jim Ratcliffe: “We have to ensure that the right people end up in the right positions at Man United”.

“Every person in management must be world class”.

“We need to create positive, supportive, friendly, quality environment. This culture was lacking before”.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe on Sheikh Jassim: “Still nobody's ever seen him, actually”.

“The Glazers never met him... he never... I'm not sure he exists!”.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe: “Dan Ashworth is a 10/10 sporting director”.

“You can't really criticise Dan for looking at maybe most coveted job in football as a sporting director - particularly with the challenge at Manchester United”.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe on Dan Ashworth saga: “It’s a bit silly, personally. I wont get dragged into that”.

“What I do think is completely absurd is suggesting a man who is really good at his job sits in his garden for one and a half years”.

“It’s absurd and stupid”.

.....still on Greenwood.

"We'll try to understand the facts, not the hype".

"We'll use values like is he a good guy or not, could he play sincerely for well, would we be comfortable with it, would the fans be comfortable with it...".

"Then we will decide".

Sir Jim Ratcliffe on Mason Greenwood: "It's a new decision to make for us. He's Man United player".

"We need to look at facts, judge fairly and take into consideration what the values of the club are".

"Then we come out of that with a decision on Greenwood".

ETH just must go. Rashy ain't in form, yet you keep playing him week in, week out. Garnacho is playing nonsense too but still better than Antony.....sigh.

I hope ZeroHag can get the courage to play Amad on the right and Garnacho on the right. I have seen enough of Rashy, he ain't gonna perform this season. Dude has switched off completely.

patrickmuf:
Expert will say it's the job of Casemiro and Mainoo.

Expert jokes a lot nah. Rashford should be sold to PSG as well.

Casemiro and Bruno should be let go at end of season. As far as Bruno is in the midfield, we can never dominate possession.

A midfield trio of Chong, Lokoja and Bakery dey press us like bobby. LOL!

ZeroHag must go at end of season.

CHELSEA this week defines the meaning of transportation.

When WOLVES Scored their first GOAL against TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR, CHELSEA moved from 10th to 11th.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR equalise.... CHELSEA moved from 11th to 10th.

WOLVES Scored their second GOAL.... CHELSEA moved from 10th to 11th.

When MANCHESTER CITY Vs CHELSEA started.... CHELSEA moved from 11th back to 10th position.

First half, STERLING Scored..... CHELSEA moved from 10th to 8th position.

Second half, RODRI Scored for MANCHESTER CITY, CHELSEA moved from 8th back to 10th position.

CHELSEA become the first Club to change position 6 times in a day.... Unreal record 🔥.

⛳ After moving from one place to another they still ended in their normal position which is 10😂😂😂.

Best 10 ever.

Good Morning Famz. Lets applaud the boys, no need to blame anyone, coz we should remember they beat our expectations.

We should let them breathe and rather focus on what should be done to improve the team.

Congratulations to Nigeria and the boys.

Paseiro must be mad sha. We carried bokoharam football enter final yet baba refused to repent. We were lucky against S. Africa cos they had their chances but couldn't make use of it well.

Paseiro must go walahi.

Wetin una dey see for Iwobi, na una know sha. I will rather have Nwakali on the pitch than him. Iwobi ain't good enough to dictate game, control midfield or make long range passes.

I support and hope Nwakali is recalled. Dude deserves a call up again.

Goke7:
looks like the ref was spoken to at half time cos things looked better in the second half

Seemed so.

forgiveness:
Dude was bad. He demoralized our moral.

Jpes out.

......Renerd still dey available bá? DR. Congo coach ain't bad too.

Mujtahida:
We did not play well. I said so before and after we scored. As a SE fan, I'd have been happy if we had won but I don't think I'd have watched the match a second time. Our play was terrible.

.....really terrible. We were outplayed until we were chasing the game. JPes actually wanted to play attacking footie as evident in our first match.

He went defensive cos it worked for him in the 2nd Match. LOL!

forgiveness:
The referee allowed judo against Osimhen. It was glaring.

There was nothing the players could do because the coach practically cut off the midfield from the attack.

Bruh.......CIV deserve it more than us. Forget Ref, he wasn't really bad as we really wished. We too like to blame Ref anytime we lost in the final. Let the gentleman breathes.

JPes?! He has no business coming back to Naija. He should fly directly to Lisbon from Abidjan. LOL!

forgiveness:
He is very poor in reading match. You're leading going into the second half and needed to press but you kept Iwobi that was strolling over the field and misplacing passes.

Absolutely, poor.

Its obvious Iwobi had no business starting 2nd half. Aina wasn't at his best either same as Lookman but they still tried.

See......I really can't fault the players cos they did sacrifice everything for their coach. Osimhen kept fighting for crumbs cos he was starved throughout the competition of passes.

We wanted the trophy but CIV wanted it more. No need blaming the Ref cos both Ivorians goals are clean goals.

Mujtahida:
😂😂😂 Chai now now

Bruh......competition has come to an end. I wasn't pained for losing out to be honest cos we didn't play to win the match.

We aimed to defend for 120mins, then win on pen. We were just lucky to score a goal in the match.

We have very good, skillful players yet we were parking Bulldozers. I don't like comdemning coaches while competition is going on, but since it has come to an end - its time to call spade a spade.

elyte89:
D werey contract kuku don finish …. He can leave peacefully

He is absolutely an average coach but he deserved our 100% and he had it. Its time to set it aside and call spade a spade.

My support for JPes come to an end this Night. Its time to kick him out of Nigeria.

JPes had the chance but blew it. We were lucky to score a goal in the first half. You chose to go ultra-defensive for 90mins yet you couldn't replace Iwobi right away from 2nd half.


CIV deserve it more, hence congratulations to the Ivorians.

Welldone boys......una make us proud.

Win or lose, kudos to the boys.

Remove IWOBI!!!

Its time to remove Iwobi.
