Man City Boss Laughs Off Man United’s “Poaching”: “They Can Have Our Scraps, We’re a Machine!”
Manchester United’s attempt to raid City’s talent pool is being met with amusement by City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak. United recently announced the appointment of Omar Berrada, formerly City’s COO, as their new CEO. However, Khaldoon seems unfazed, claiming these departures are a badge of honor for City’s success.
“Bring on the Scavengers!” Khaldoon practically shouts [he said], highlighting City’s record financial performance and boasting of a “machine” behind the scenes that keeps churning out talent at all levels. “[United’s] welcome to take the leftovers,” he seems to imply [said], confident City’s system will continue producing even as some personnel move on.
This is a clear shot at United’s co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who declared City and Liverpool his “enemies” he wants to dethrone. Khaldoon acknowledges their desire to learn but downplays their threat. “[Their interest] just shows how well we’re doing,” he seems to smirk [said].
City’s strategy appears to be one of constant evolution. While they’ll try to retain key personnel, Khaldoon views these departures as a natural progression. He even suggests these ex-employees will leave with a “positive memory” of their time at City, hinting at a culture of breeding success that benefits everyone involved.
This article paints a picture of a confident City, unfazed by personnel changes and focused on long-term growth. It positions United as desperate copycats, clinging to City’s coattails, while City itself continues to dominate the financial and sporting landscape.
