I’ll keep an open mind.
Think the new ownership at ManU wanted rid.
Don’t mean she is not a good future CEO.

Quoted from Maringer
I'm pleased to see that the knives are out for the new CEO before she's even started the job.

I, for one, am shocked that we have employed somebody who wears dresses. Down with that sort of thing etc etc.


I would be if it was Danny La Rue or Boy George. Not football related but i understand she makes good " mince Pies"

Quoted from Norseman
Copied from a man utd women's supporters comments,  on the appointment




"She was put in charge of our contracts and allowed our two biggest players contracts to run out, and go for free ,when we'd had big offers a few months earlier .All our contracts were mis -handled while she's been here ,and they had to draft in people from the mens set up, to bail her out ,she was about to be sacked by sir jim ratcliffe anyway ,so shes jumped before he had the chance.  She was totally out of her depth"

Don't shoot the messenger .Just someone's opinion based on their belief .


New owners want to sack existing employees …. Now where have we seen that before?

United fans buzzing she’s gone. But she’s a woman and it helps B corp so


With your in depth, expert knowledge of the BCorp application process I would be grateful if you could explain how this appointment assists our application.

And what exactly is it about Polly being a woman merits your apparent ire?
Finally,with your in depth expert knowledge of footballing CEO's I would be grateful to know who would've been on your short list n who you would've appointed instead

Hardly a decent replacement for Alex Hunt is she!

We need new players not a CEO for another non league campaign.


No… no she isn’t! I’d even go as far to say that I’ll safely assume she’s never played played a centre midfield role in men’s professional football in her life!

Thanks heavens she is coming in as CEO and not to play the deep lying playmaker role! Close one that, thanks for spotting!

I wish Polly Bancroft well in her new role and hope she fullfills it to the best of her ability whilst taking the club forward.

It says that since coming in 2022 to man u women she has helped grow attendances and commercial income - well if a boiled potato was appointed then it would have achieved the same as all women's teams have seen an upsurge in interest and sponsorship etc. It's only relevant if she has achieved more than would have been expected anyway, given that man u women are 2nd in the world for income that may well be the case.

No doubt if she's a success she won't be here long as we are an entry for her into being a CEO on the more lucrative mens side of the game, but nothing wrong with that and it will mean she has been a success with us. The fact man u brought people from the men's side of the organisation to discuss contracts on her watch though is quite a bit of an alarm bell.

I do hope that this isn't going to herald GTFC womens games at BP though, the pitch won't take double use and it's incredibly expensive to replace as we recently found out. That would be a massive and expensive error we can't afford in my opinion.

Steady on, bit sexist, she actually might improve our team if she played.
