Sounds pretty good, similar to what we’ve seen for Liverpool under Klopp tbh.
3) why is he setting the style of play? No other club does that.
what was the tweet you seen? you got it?
Putting a rule of no Galactico's is silly, you never what opportunities will arise.
the technical director sholdn't be dictating how a team plays that should be the manager. He should oversee all the footballing decisions, ie overseeing player recruitment, overseeing performance analysis. He basically oversees all the other departments and links them altogether.
surely the manager should be asked what type of player he needs, rather than just what position. ie a Wide player that commits players wins his one on ones, or one that has high possesion retention and key passes etc?
INEOS know feck all about football and shouldnt be the ones deciding what players the manager needs

It’s Neil Custis so probably not exactly accurate but you never know …
To be fair I am more optimistic that Ten Hag will be sacked if this is true.
Can't see his overinflated ego being able to take not being the big dog anymore.
6) we must get out of Europe
7) use inappropriate public funds to build stadium, must not put hand in own pocket
This originated from The Sun so take it all with a pinch of salt.
Stuff like this doesn't even make sense:
"Ineos to send lists of 3 players per position for the manager to choose from."
Who exactly do they mean by "Ineos"?

Is ETH arrogant? He’s Dutch, probably just comes across like that
Isn’t this type of recruitment policy pretty standard practice these days at the higher levels, where top clubs appoint head coaches rather than traditional “managers”?

Yes. He is very arrogant. Thinks he's some elite manager when in reality he's no better than someone like Thomas Frank.

Isnt that the mindset a manager should ahve? complete belief in his ability? if he doesnt the players will pick up on it.
Most top managers are pretty arrogant in thinking that they know better.
1) Age limit of 25 for new signings
Age discrimination. Clear breach of employment law. Points deduction incoming. LOL.
Twitter doesn't exist, Robb.
The post in X is quoting The Sun, a trash tabloid without any credibility. Must be true then 🤔
In respect of point 3, the transfer strategy and style of play will be set by the DoF with the technical director responsible for the actual recruitment.

whether you think he is good enough is immaterial ..... Do you not think top managers should be arrogant ? they should think they know best and what they are deciding is 100% the right call.
Id say its almost an essential skill to be a succesful manager?
Id say Klopp and Pep are some of if not the most arrogant in the sense that they are 100%^ convinced that they know better at they job they are trying to do than any other person.
1) Age limit of 25 for new signings - THIS IS SILLY. THERE SHOULDN'T BE AN AGE LIMIT FOR A GOOD PLAYER
2) No Galacticos - THE SENTIMENT IS OK I SUPPOSE BUT IF THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF TO BUY A TOP CLASS PLAYER DO YOU SAY NO?
3) Style of play to be set by technical director Jason Wilcox - KIND OF MAKES SENSE AND THEN HIRE A SUITABLE MANAGER EACH TIME BUT IT NEEDS TO BE QUITE BROAD IMO.
4) Manager to be asked what position he wants to sign, not what player - FAIR ENOUGH BUT THINK MANAGER SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS
5) Ineos to send lists of 3 players per position for the manager to choose from - DOES THIS NOT CONTRADICT 4 A BIT? WHY 3 PLAYERS?
Sounds like it’s made up.

Poor Robb, full of contradictions.
If written by a red top tabloid it is rarely true!
Neil Custis. Really? Waste of an article.
Seems like the guy is also still suffering from that knee injury.
The galatico one makes sense at the moment no real top player is gonna go to United certainly from a sporting perspective. The only way they come is offering them more money than anyone else and is that going to provide the right motivation for the player. You only have to look at Casamiero as a good example granted he was over the hill but in his prime there is no way he goes to this United. If they improve and start to regain a bit of a reputation for excellence then that might change.

Can’t say I’ve ever thought ETH comes across as arrogant … unintelligible maybe?
BTW, I’d have Thomas Frank ahead of ETH all day, every day. He’s working wonders with the resources at his disposable, and also appears to be a FAR better man manager. I can also always understand what he says, which must also help with player communication.
I really hope we aren’t stupid enough to have an under 25 policy.
