That's the most words I've ever heard a Glazer speak on Man Utd in 17 years. And I'm not even trying to be sarcastic

[KK-zbxc]

This lad has it all, the money the looks the hair the personality.

[simplyballing]

That reporter did an outstanding job. Interviewing the owner of Manchester United isn't straight forward

[biniammersha]

We always spent money to buy new players'' he is right on that one but we spent on the wrong players over and over again. Proper Recruitment is absolutely key for Ten hag success

[davidr]

If he said congrats on winning the league he would have went along with it lmaoo

[miz]

I bet he googled who Ten Hag is just seconds before this interview lmao

[moluther]

"Now is not the time to talk"

He hasn't found time in 17 years 😂

[Ray-rgyf]

"The fans are disappointed" this statement is what made Glazer give a response.

[MikaelLV]

Being part of the snake pit that is the WEF and the Davos group tells you all you need to know about this man.

[cbourke]

He's out at WEF meeting, this guy is definitely in on all the evil that's going on in the world today.

[MH-vplf]

Bet the glazers were like "the Ajax manager looks like that pepper guy at City, let's get him"

I mean these clowns had to be told what the offside rule is and still didn't get it and this is a known fact.

You've got to hand out respect to sky for finding him also please sell the club

[yoshimitsu]

This is the first time in a long time that Man U have gotten a coach that can compete at a high level and keep the consistency.

[Danny-svxu]

First time I’ve ever heard his voice 😂

There’s a real disconnect between those commenting on the Glazers not investing money in the club and those who interpret it as fans complaining that none of the club’s money is invested in players. They’re very different things. United have a very healthy organic income of money made over decades and based off being the first English club and basically one of the first clubs at all to become a successful brand in its own right, versus City, Chelsea, now Newcastle which is all about cash injection to fulfil other aims, ones which were never financial. It is in fact the financial feasibility of United that made a crowd like the glazers want it. I think what a lot of people don’t understand is that it is a financially much poorer club because of the Glazers. They do indeed have the capability to spend over a hundred million on player acquisition annually but they generate that. So it’s very understandable that some fans think United fans complain about not investing in the team and react to that given they spend swathes of money every year. But there’s a disconnect in the understanding. As the Glazers take money out of the club, which is sadly their right as owners of a business, the club simultaneously loses brand appeal every year. The difficulty for United will be when the dominant spending power (the next generation) has no associations with United as a successful, marketable, aspirational football club. Self sufficiency is a wonderful thing but if it’s veering into a negative territory then all you see are symptoms of something essentially much worse down the line. The fact that United don’t need cash infusion (now) is the symptom of something very positive, but that’s what the glazers put at risk. They are interested in keeping the club profitable long enough for it to benefit them and aren’t worried about what could be twenty years from now. They are to United essentially what the human population is to the planet. “There’s lots for everyone now and it’s brilliant and let’s just all take our piece and nothing bad is going to happen to us in the immediate future”. But we know why that’s bad for the not so immediate future. There’ll never be a proper discussion as long as there isn’t any further understanding between fans in these comments beyond United fans saying “they don’t invest/ the control the the purse strings” and rival fans responding with players United have signed. It’s dead ended, boring and useless conversation.

I'm not even a united fan and I can see why he is very much disliked he has just employed a new manager he could have at least answered a couple questions and show a bit of interest in his club even if he has limited knowledge of the sport that's the least he could have done instead of trying to scurry away 🤷 I mean look Ryan Reynolds and Rob mcelhenny at Wrexham they have not got a single clue about the sport but they make the effort to turn up to games and make them selves available for questions. I feel sorry for utd

[JohnBlessed]

I'm surprised that he even got a few words out of him, good job 😄

[Ronnny]

After their ownership this is the first time he said something for our club, oh thank god ten hag is a mastermind

[Godzzbinzz]

At the WEF. That's all you need to know about this man.
