It appears that recent changes in the boardroom are rapidly spilling over into major changes throughout the structure of the club.

Today's news is that the club has taken on the leading lights of United's former commercial revenue team, based in London. Despite continued failures on the pitch, United have done extremely well at increasing their commercial revenue. Last year alone, it was increased by 17%, before the Ineos cost cutting mania did for them.

United's loss is most definitely our gain. We're upskilling across all areas of the club. The potential is enormous. We just have to start to think and act like a club in the Top 10,of world football, that sees the future going upwards, instead of slowly regressing back to where we were 25 years ago.

I've never cared who owned the club. It's all about having a vision and doing more than mouthing platitudes about being successful. Vision. Belief. Action.

Maybe, just maybe, ENIC have realised that. More than a little late, but if it's true, it's very welcome, all the same.

COYS!!
 
One quite hilarious passage in the Torygraph report on our new commercial revenue hires

The team led by United’s former commercial star Victoria Timpson is comprised of many of the club’s former leading women in the executive team, including Ali Edge and Florence Lafaye. While they were not public figures under the previous regime they drove United’s big commercial shirt deals with the likes of TeamViewer and Snapdragon, which in turn helped finance the signings of a series of managers.​

If my calculations are correct then I think all those would be eligible for a PL squad since there are 16 foreign trained, 7 association trained and 14 U-21. Gibbs-White, if signed could also be included, as the 8th home grown player.
The CL squad is a lot trickier as there are only 2 club trained players so that means leaving out two players and at least 7 of the U-21 players don't qualify so each takes up one of the 17 foreign trained places.

I suggest making a 'Squad watch' article, where for each
player you list the following :

- registration status (CG/HG/overseas)
- PL squad registered (y/n)
- UEFA squad registered (y/n)
 
Two of our September fixtures have been moved.
The away game at West Ham is still on Saturday 13th September, but is now 5.30pm.
The home match against Wolves has moved to Sunday September 28th at 2pm.
Both will be televised by Sky Sports.
 
Daniel Levy has done an interview with Gary Neville.
I assume this is an attempt to force a transfer to Man City for a pittance.

The club's also building some flats.
