I’m trying to understand the genesis of the protests vs. the Glazers:
- took on massive debt to purchase the club in the first place
- used team profits to pay off that debt (slowly) instead of reinvesting directly into the squad
(Cont’d)
- used team profits to finance other, non-ManU projects
- have lost touch with the club’s roots & past (this one seems dubious to me)
- have failed to be forward-thinking with regard to sports science, analytics & managerial hires
(Cont’d)
- for years privileged business decisions over football decisions
- have fallen from the ranks of the absolute elite Euro sides, to the point where they really can’t/don’t compete to sign the very best players in the world
Tyler Adams has been a Jack of all trades for Leipzig, playing some as a pressing 8, a little as a true 6, a little as a RB and often (including today) as a wingback.
If this is his ceiling — utility man for a top 3 Bundesliga side — would you be stoked or disappointed?
Would you rather see him move down a rung to a less ambitious team in order to get a job as a full-time 6?
