Man utd is too big for what he was trying to do. The consultancy thing is almost like a DoF role, else, why did he accept a ‘demotion’ (re: leaving a bigger role at Lokomotiv)?

Because he realised they weren't going to listen to him anyway. All his recommendations in January were ignored. Including dealing with Lingard. He was completely overruled. So why do a job you realise you don't have the power to implement any changes?

Andy O’Boyle has been appointed as Manchester United’s Deputy Football Director, further strengthening leadership across the club’s football department.

O’Boyle will leave his current role as Head of Elite Performance at the Premier League to United this summer.

He will provide to John Murtough, Football Director, in driving the club’s football strategy across the first team, Academy and women’s team.

Oasis007(m): 11:33am On May 31, 2022
“We are delighted to welcome Andy back to Manchester United to take up this important role in the club’s leadership,” said Murtough.

“Andy has experience across all technical areas of football, from fitness and sports science to scouting and recruitment.

“This will make him a valuable addition to my team at Carrington as we continue to strengthen leadership and strategic planning across all our football activities.”
Oasis007(m): 11:36am On May 31, 2022
O’Boyle said: “I am thrilled to be reing Manchester United at such an exciting time for the club, as the first team prepares for a fresh start under Erik ten Hag, and the Academy and women’s teams go from strength to strength.

“Whilst it has been a privilege to serve the Premier League for the past five years, I can’t wait to get started at United and play my part in creating the right environment for football success.”

O’Boyle is due to complete his UEFA Pro Licence this summer, and he is also working towards a doctorate having already achieved a Masters in sports science. 
Oasis007(m): 11:37am On May 31, 2022
At the Premier League, he has been responsible for advising clubs on talent identification and recruitment, performance analysis, sports science and medicine, psychology, and loan management.

He was also at the heart of the Premier League’s response to Covid — liaising with the government and clubs on protocols to keep football going through the pandemic.

A lifelong United fan, O’Boyle played as a youngster in a Manchester United Centre of Excellence in his native Northern Ireland before switching focus to coaching and sports science. 

Before the Premier League, he held roles at Liverpool FC, England Under-21s, Coventry City and Wrexham FC.

I who vehemently ed ETH to be named manager definitely want him to succeed.

We have been talking about structure and director of football here FOR YEARS. Or have you been living under a rock?




Why do you feel attacked?

You are mentioning structure like there is none. Murtough is the DOF. The structure you guys are clamouring for is not the way you want it to be.

You made a blanket statement without addressing your mail so i had to clear your mind. I had several months of debates ing ETH during the ETH vs Poch debate. Criticising the club for not appropriately utilizing the services of one of the best DoFs in football does not mean one wants ETH to fail.

RR invited Paul Mitchell recently to the club but after his visit the club didn't offer him a position and he went to Monaco instead. In my opinion ETH's chances of success would have been better if he was ed by people who have successfully built teams in the past like Rangnick and Mitchell, rather than Fletcher and this Andy O'Boyle who are relative learners.

Structure is a good thing.

But I personally feel we've been getting it wrong with coaches. Perhaps, if we've had that structure we would have been hiring the right managers.

I feel Ten Hang will succeed if he is ed.

A brilliant student will do better with good teachers than with bad teachers. that.

Rangnick and Mitchell 2 of the most respected and accomplished staff a manager could ever want were available but we went for Fletcher and O'Boyd instead. that too.

Lol that structure itself is a . Have you worked in a company and you want to leave because of the poor structure there? You try to make input and nothing is happening. Even if they’re paying you your salary as at when due, you still won’t feel comfortable staying because of the poor structure

All of you guys complaining that Ralf talks too much. I can now see that it's because none of you actually listens to what he has been saying in press conferences. Everything in my previous post was publicly stated by Ralf in his press conferences.

United have appointed a very good manager, who obviously didn't want to work with Rafiu. Make una give ETH the benefit of doubt, he will surely succeed with the right players in place. If he tells the board what he want and they don't response positively, he should consider it a breach of contract and walk....

All of a sudden, good structure is not a big deal. All of a sudden, Murtough is good enough to act as a DOF and be regarded as having a good structure. Lmao.

You never liked ETH and you weren't happy United chose him over Poch. Continue to deceive yourself with this unnecessary Rafiu show of love, some of us know your true intention....

Time will reveal if Fletcher and O'Boyd are bad teachers.

As for that Ragnick, I don't want him near the club. We have coaches that are good with small teams and struggle with big teams. I believe that will be his case if given that role. I doubt if he has brought any current top club from the ashes.

How do you mean by poor structure in the company? United as a company has provided the funds for the manager to carry out his work, especially in this Ole period. Look at our spend. Hmmm
