[Journalist review] Jacob Steinberg to Tier 5 (banned)
Now that we have it confirmed that ETH is staying, it's time to address Steinberg and his coverage of United from before the FA Cup final.
Steinberg broke the news that Ten Hag was sacked regardless of FA CUP final result and thus derailed the whole conversation around the FA CUP win, even affecting the coverage.
Article: https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/may/24/manchester-united-decide-to-sack-erik-ten-hag-regardless-of-cup-final-outcome
As there is no indication that Steinberg has any sources within the club, and shit stirring and clickbaiting are against my personal principles, I am of the opinion that Steinberg should be considered a banned source.
The discussion is now open if anyone has arguments for or against.

[Ducker - T1] Man Utd step up manager search in response to Chelsea developments
www.telegraph.co.uk Man Utd step up manager search in response to Chelsea developmentsWith Erik ten Hag’s position tenuous, United have reached out to Kieran McKenna, Thomas Frank, Thomas Tuchel and Mauricio Pochettino
Manchester United have been forced to expedite their managerial contingency plans in the wake of Mauricio Pochettino’s departure from Chelsea with the two clubs holding an interest in some of the same targets.
Chelsea have narrowed their search for Pochettino’s successor to four coaches, with Enzo Maresca, Kieran McKenna, Thomas Frank and an unnamed candidate all making the club’s shortlist.
With Chelsea hoping to be in a position to make an appointment by the start of next month, if not earlier, as sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart work around the clock to secure a new manager, the situation has forced United’s hand to some extent.
United maintain that they have yet to make a final decision on the future of Erik ten Hag but his position appears increasingly untenable and it is understood that the club have been sounding out potential replacements in the event they sack the Dutchman after Saturday’s FA Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley.
Like Chelsea, United are also believed to hold an interest in McKenna, their former first-team coach who has just led Ipswich Town into the Premier League after back to back promotions and is also interesting Brighton, and Brentford manager Frank. Informal discussions are thought to have been held with their representatives this week in addition to those of other potential targets including Thomas Tuchel and Pochettino himself.
Ten Hag sidestepped questions about his future at his press conference on Thursday ahead of the Cup final and the outcome of that game is not expected to determine the course of action United take.

[BBC] Kieran McKenna: Ipswich manager likely to reject new deal
www.bbc.com Kieran McKenna: Ipswich manager likely to reject new dealIpswich manager Kieran McKenna is likely to reject any new deal amid interest from Chelsea and Brighton.
Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna is likely to reject any new deal amid interest from Chelsea and Brighton.
The 38-year-old is also believed to be under consideration by Manchester United if they decide to make a change with Erik ten Hag’s future in doubt.
McKenna – who is contracted to Ipswich until 2027 - is ambitious and is understood to be keen to take the next step in his career.
Talks with Ipswich are likely to take place this week and the Tractor Boys are expected to offer McKenna a new deal to convince him to stay at Portman Road.
BBC Sport understands that is expected to fail with the manager, and assistant Martyn Pert, feeling the time is right to move.
Chelsea are believed to be in pole position, despite Brighton’s interest, with United’s situation adding to the complexities as they are yet to confirm what will happen with Ten Hag.
Any club will need to pay at least £4m compensation to take McKenna and Pert.

[Craig Hope] Dan Ashworth sent an email to a New Utd address revealing he was being tapped up by incoming MU chief executive Omar Berrada, who was still on gardening leave, before formal approach
Man United's incoming chiefs in email blunder as Dan Ashworth opens the door to Premier League 'tapping up' probe by sending secret exchange to Newcastle account
Dan Ashworth sent an email to a Newcastle United address inadvertently revealing he was being tapped up by incoming Manchester United chief executive Omar Berrada, who was still on gardening leave from Manchester City.
It is an embarrassing blunder and error of judgement on the part of the two men who will be charged with restructuring Man United by new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and could be looked at by the Premier League.
We can reveal the pair had a conversation in early February and Ashworth followed that up by sending an email to Berrada - at an INEOS account - making it clear he wanted to accept the opportunity of becoming Man United’s sporting director.
However, Ashworth sent a blind copy to his own Newcastle email address, clumsily disclosing to the club the covert negotiations with Berrada. Man United, at this point, had not informed Newcastle of their interest in Ashworth.
Berrada does not officially start at Old Trafford until July 13 and he had been on gardening leave from Man City for less than a month when engaging with Ashworth, potentially breaching the terms of his contract.
Ashworth, we understand, also disclosed details to Berrada of the agreement between Newcastle and Brighton that took him to St James’ Park in the summer of 2022. This would likely be a breach of confidentiality to each of Newcastle and Brighton.
The 53-year-old eventually informed Newcastle of his wish to join Man United on February 18 and was placed on gardening leave, a period that Ratcliffe has suggested expires towards the end of 2025.
Man United have so far not made an acceptable offer to Newcastle to bring forward that date and Ashworth is reportedly set to take the club to arbitration in a bid to force through his move.
Ratcliffe appeared to aim a dig at Newcastle last month when he said: ‘One of the biggest problems we have in football is we get these new guys to come into the team, they’re really capable people, but they’re all on gardening leave. So it takes six months, a year or even 18 months (for them to start) It’s a real issue in football at the moment.’
In February, Ratcliffe said: ‘I think it’s a bit silly, personally. What I do think is completely absurd is suggesting a man who is really good at his job sits in his garden for one and a half years.
We had a very grown-up conversation with City about Omar Berrada. When things got done we sorted it out very amicably. They could see why he wanted to take that challenge. You look at Pep (Guardiola) when he’s done with one of his footballers - he doesn’t want them to sit in the garden for one and a half years. He doesn’t do that. That’s not the way the UK works or the law works.’
All the while, however, the ‘capable people’ Ratcliffe spoke of were potentially breaching Premier League guidelines. There is increased chatter in football circles of the INEOS chief not understanding how the industry works, and he has angered Man United employees by removing staff perks around the FA Cup final. He has also banned working from home, upsetting some within the club.
Newcastle, meanwhile, have stood firm in waiting for what they see as a fair offer to release Ashworth from his gardening leave.
Mail Sport contacted Newcastle but they declined to comment. Manchester United declined to comment. Manchester City declined to comment.
The Premier League rule book states that each club, director and official should behave towards each other with the ‘utmost good faith’ and it would be a breach if they were to ‘act dishonestly towards another club’ or ‘engage in conduct that is intended to circumvent these rules’.

Ref will wear Camera in Palace Game
www.bbc.co.uk Crystal Palace vs Man Utd referee to wear camera in Premier League matchReferee Jarred Gillett will wear a video camera during Monday night's game between Crystal Palace and Manchester United.
Apparently for a documentary. I wonder why they have picked a United game for this? Probably because they know there will be controversy, since we'll likely at some point throw the game by getting in a stupid position that leads to the ref having to make a idiotic and unexplainable call that will ultimately gift Palace a win late on.

Both have been a source of invaluable advice and expertise over many years, and Patrick has served an important role as interim CEO during this transitional phase.”
Sir Jim Ratcliffe commented: “I would like to personally thank both Patrick and Cliff for their support in helping us get to know the club and making us feel welcome and I respect their decisions to now move on as we establish a new management team for the club.”
