Richard Arnold criticizes Man Utd’s transfer policy
Richard Arnold did not object when asked to comment on recent transfer activity.
A little about the topic
The Red Devils’ chief executive offered a scathingly obscene overview of the side’s transfer policy in a conversation with fans that was taped and leaked. Richard admitted that the club spent almost a billion pounds without seeing results during a meeting with supporters in Cheshire. But Richard Arnold backed strongly Frenkie de Jong, presumably Man Utd’s next big target.
What did Richard Arnold say?
Manchester United’s chief executive said they spent a billion pounds on players. They spent more time in Europe than anyone else. According to Richard Arnold, he is not happy with where they are. It’s not easy with him, and he’s worried about how they’ll handle the future. What happened is that they burned the money.
They can’t go to their landfill and say show where £1bn is because they haven’t spent the money well historically. Arnold says he’s not here to defend the chairman. He must speak for himself. But they took the time to come here and share their views – and Richard respects that. They took a huge amount of money.
For this summer, the money manager and the director of football want to be there. For the future to invest in a new stadium and the latest and greatest training ground, they have to do something. They need to attract investors.
According to Arnold, he needs to do what he wants for the club. He needs more money because no club in the world has the money to build a new stadium. They either lend it or invest it. The money must be from somewhere. They may not like their current owners – Arnold can’t help it. But according to Richard, if they want someone else to come in, they will see that the fans love the team and that’s a positive thing. Richard Arnold also said that last year was a f * * * nightmare. There was hatred at every game.
