Manchester United CEO Richard Arnold faces the sack if Qatari investors buy the club.

Manchester United fans have been calling for the Glazers to sell the club for some time now and it looks like they could finally get their wish.

A report from Bloomberg recently reported that Qatari investors were preparing to make a £5bn bid for Manchester United this week.

Whenever a club gets new owners it’s always an uncertain time for many people at the club, and a key man at Manchester United’s job could be under threat.

Man United CEO Richard Arnold.

According to the Express, Manchester United CEO Arnold faces the sack if Qatari investors take over the club. Arnold only replaced Ed Woodward as Chief Executive last year, but according to L’Equipe Hassan Al Thawadi and Nasser al-Khater are already being lined up as replacements.

It will be interesting to see if the potential new owners propose any more major changes if they finalise the purchase of Manchester United.

Will Erik ten Hag be keeping his job as Manchester United prepare for a new regime?

  1. Of course Richard Arnold faces the sack as should John Murtough and a few others. They along with Matt Judge and Ed Woodward have failed miserably to keep United at the top of the game since David Gill and Sir Alex retired. They have wasted billions on excessive fees and wages. Any new business owner who takes over a business looks at where the failures have been and who or what is the root cause and looks to rectify those problems. I have no doubt that Ardnold is too worried. He has his money made and with his contacts will get another job. A full clear out of most if not all of those above Ten Hag is required.

    1. Yes they potentially could be replaced BUT any new owner has to consider any potential summer transfer activity that might have been part negotiated already and if they change the staff involved in that it could scupper any potential deals for those players and those transfers might still be the plan of action. Wise to transition and do any major changes after the summer window before the winter window.

    2. There was a big clear-out last year. Anyone that needed to be gone, has gone. Say what you like about Murtough & Arnold, they still got the job done & had one of the best transfer windows in decades. Murtough & Arnold did not waste billions, but they are cleaning up after those that had. At least they backed the manager & got him the players, he asked for. The damage was done before these two cowboys set foot in town. There is no point in rocking the boat when the club are sailing smoothly at the moment, do not try to fix what is not broken, that was done last summer.

  2. Erm They have two names above as replacements, hope they can stick to people who know football and the EPL and not just install some stooges

  3. After the Sir Alex approach, th boardroom has been a complete mess. Handling and especially the transfert acting has been ridiculous. Spending enormous amounts on overpaid ego’s. Still some ogf those so called ‘toppers’ should no longer be around OT. Luckily ETH arrived and started cleaning up the mess…little by little this giant is rising, still a long way to go, but promising prospects…as long as ETH stays on board and follows his plan, United will be ok.

  4. As long as Ten Hag’s job is safe that is then main thing.However since Richard Arnold look over ”things”
    have improver.

  5. If they sign new staff or sack the existing, we don’t care we only want man united wining trophies and becoming the greatest football club in the world.
    It’s a new era Let’s hope Red devil’s became the world’s football giant a head of Barcelona and Real madrid.

  6. All of you believed what the journalist wrote ? Those are Mass Communications strategies to sell stories. Do not believe whatever journalists wrote. Only 5% journalists write true stories.

  7. Should get the sack for the sad ass excuse of a beard.
    Maybe Prem Executives in gender transition would be some meaningful content for the Caught Offside journo staff.
    You’re welcome for the brilliant idea.

  8. Why would they want to get rid of Ten Hag after what he has done in the short time he has been at United. The best since Ferguson he is brilliant. No nonsense Manager even more so than Ferguson. He gas brought them from the bottom of Premier to within 6 points of Top of Premier. What a man, he did the main thing that needed doing by getting rid if Ronaldo & Pogba who were both trouble shooters Yehhhhhhhh GREAT MANAGER.

  10. First & foremost, we must not be bought by an Arab state, you only have to look at PSG.
    I agree with Jim Ratcliffe, let’s put the Manchester back in United.
