180: The promise of Ineos, dressing room criers & trip to the deducted
•
Dale and Shaun are back with another episode of the Strettycast.
We take a look at the promise of Ineos as Sir Jim Ratcliffe prepares to buy a 25% stake in Manchester United and what it will mean to have the likes of Sir Dave Brailsford spearheading the club into the future.
There has been more reports of dressing room unrest. This time complaints over the workload in pre-season training, with players feeling they weren’t best prepared for the season that awaits. The lads aren’t convinced by the dressing room criers.
Furthermore, we look forward to the trip to Goodison Park where Manchester United will go as the most in-form side in the Premier League. There’s reason to be optimistic even if Everton will be looking for a response after harshly having 10-points deducted by the Premier League for financial breaches.
Dale and Shaun also take your questions at the end of episode 180.
