“I think the Glazers have been negligent in the past 10 years in not appointing the right people. My biggest thing is the stadium and regeneration. Letting the stadium go and not touching the regeneration – those two things are just negligent," he told The Overlap Fan Debate.
“You can get the team wrong, sign the wrong players, lose football matches – I don’t have a problem with that. You can’t not have the best stadium with the money coming in and you can’t not have a CEO and sporting director that understand football clubs.”
