Red Devils Secure £55m Striker and Ideal Mainoo Partner in Epic Transfer Window Manchester United are set for a transformative summer transfer window as Ineos, under the leadership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, prepares to make a significant impact on the club's future. This marks Ratcliffe's first substantial opportunity to reshape the squad since becoming co-owner earlier this year, and expectations are high for a flurry of transfer activities aimed at reclaiming Manchester United's status at the pinnacle of English football. Ambitious Objectives and Strategic Sales Manchester United's strategy this summer involves not only bringing in fresh talent but also offloading several players to comply with the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules (PSR). According to the Manchester Evening News, player sales could reach double digits as the club seeks to balance the books. Key players like Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Christian Eriksen, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, and Casemiro are potential candidates for permanent transfers. George Smith emphasizes the necessity of generating funds through player sales to facilitate new signings. "McTominay, given his strong performance in the 2023/24 campaign, is the most sellable asset and could command a significant ...

Stay Humble: Lessons from Haaland and Manchester City’s Form 🥶 I love applying things that happen in the sporting world to business and wanted to share the below… Recently, Erling Haaland’s reminder to Mikel Arteta to “stay humble” following their last minute goal against the gunners was followed by Manchester City’s worst run of form in over five years 😳 It’s been stark to see the comments on the recent Manchester City games, as you can expect “stay humble” being the most prominent time after time. Providing a stark example of how even the best performing teams can falter when momentum shifts. In business, as in football, success demands more than talent or hard work; it requires the humility to stay grounded and the discipline to maintain high standards. Complacency often creeps in when things are going well. A company exceeding targets, an individual being promoted or deadlines being met early, but without constant effort, innovation, and reflection, cracks can appear. Whether on the pitch or in the workplace, a significant lesson is clear from the recent premier league swing… celebrate the wins, but do so admirably and refocus on what’s next. #StayHumble

Guess what I spotted at Dunedin airport? The Black Jersey What does this Jersey mean? It depends who you ask I imagine To teams that play the All Blacks they probably know that they’re going to be in for a battle To NZ rugby players it’s what most aspire to become, to put that black jersey on or perhaps to create a legacy or to honour that legacy of all the greats that played before them and leave it in a better place once they have moved on. The one thing that everyone can learn from is the standards that the All Blacks set is a continual drive for excellence and that winning is everything. In an age where participation is rewarded without the pressure to get a result, have we become to soft and accepting of “ AVERAGE or PARTICIPATION MEDALS?” You either create a focus on winning or a focus on participation. Which one do you prefer? Is the focus on winning to outdated? Be great to get your comments. Do you agree? #sales #salestraining #salestrainer

Insight - Euro 2024 - For England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 it should be all about each player from the Squad and the management team. We back the team and the managers selection. We need to move away from what our thoughts and processes are (there’s a time after the final for that). Rival fans are at each other to why their man should be starting or how their man won it for England. There is the age old and very boring rendition of Harry Kane and his place in the team. Gareth must know what he’s doing to reach a second consecutive Euro final - never ever happened for us and now it has we are getting the ‘he’s lucky.’ At this level, you have to be elite to get two consecutive finals, you have to be elite to going behind and scoring to come back, you have to be elite to make changes after a defence has been run around to bring on a direct forward running into channels. This isn’t luck, it’s Southgate. What was clear was the resilience and team spirit when Watkins scored because it showed me they all want it together and that’s what matters most. #mindset #apply #perform

Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. breaking the mould, instead of doing the same as their competitors with the same old managerial roundabout they have gone to data to help them make the best decision for their football club. Time will tell whether its the right decision but really fascinating appointment. #football #sportsanalytics #dataanalytics #dataanalysis #datadriven

Reviewing player rankings is an invaluable resource for coaches, supporting informed selection and tactical decisions. These insights also play a crucial role in recruitment by enabling detailed comparisons to strengthen team depth and performance. Aligning recruitment to the specific needs and objectives of a team is essential to identify players who complement the game plan and reinforce the team’s identity.
