Man Utd boss Richard Arnold branded ‘stupid’

Manchester United CEO Richard Arnold was branded a “dumb, bloodthirsty buffoon” by Simon Jordan after his pub chat with fans last weekend.

The senior Red Devils boss met with a dozen fans at The Boot Inn in Cheshire after being informed of a planned protest.

Arnold, 51, admitted the club “burned bloody hard cash” under predecessor Ed Woodward.

He was also filmed saying last year at Old Trafford had been a “fucking nightmare” in footage later leaked to the disappointment of United bosses.

Speaking on talkSPORT, former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan slammed Arnold as “naive,” though co-host Jim White was more likable.

Jordan, 54, exploded: “Richard Arnold sat in that meeting.

“If you’re so stupid and so raw and so naive and so wet behind the ears that you’re going to sit there and think that what you’re saying isn’t going to find its way into the public domain, not even through a burp from someone , verbally returning what you said, or someone recording it, what the hell is wrong with you?
