THE BREAKDOWN | Manchester United Special: How It All Went Wrong (E44)

The Manchester United Special is here, with a twist. For the first time in nearly 50 shows, Charlie Snr and I welcome a third person into the room. Jamie Bajwa, a former Goldman Sachs analyst now plying his trade in the world of football finance, is what we would call a specialist on this topic. Manchester United is under the spotlight. Performances have heightened fan unrest and their feelings towards the Glazer ownership (and increasingly Sir Jim Ratcliffe) continue to worsen. The question we have been teasing for while with no real answer to is how do you fix this when the problems run so deep. Jamie is a regular and respected contributor to the United conversation, and so to have him join us with his deep financial experience is a Breakdown treat. So let’s get to it as we address the chaos at Manchester United and how to fix it.
