Manchester United Let Yet Another Well Established Top Player Walk Away From A Developing Team Yet To Attain Top Success- Will The Manchester United Hierarchy Ever Learn From Repetitive Mistakes? (Part II)
(Earlier parts of this Article can be found on the Manchester United Channel website)
Conspiracy is an issue that has sadly remained popular within the world of football with the probation of conspiracies understood to be an act that arrives rather easily among some underground journalists and amongst some football fans involved in the modern-day world of sports.
The reason why conspiracy has unfortunately remained rather popular in sports today is simply because, well, who doesn't like a good story even if these stories are made-up ones which comprise no facts and little reason or no reason at all?
The fact of the matter is that, just like every other player in the modern-day world of football, the time frame which Jackie Groanen spent as a Manchester United one year before departure Jackie Groanen’s departure from Leigh Sports Village had been quite interesting, to say the least. in fact, simply put, the level of stories that had emerged about the Dutch midfielder in just the space of one year alone before Jackie Groenen had departed from Manchester United can only be categorized as overwhelmingly fictional.
While a few of the stories involving Jackie Groenen over the past year had been backed up by facts some of the information which had emerged had been received straight from the hands of some representatives within Manchester United football club- representatives from Leigh Sports Village to be specific and let's not undermine the relevant information which had sometimes emerged straight from the words of Guido Albers himself during the past seven months to a year ago- the general fact tying all aspects together is that various stones which had emerged across the media surrounding Jackie Groenen and Manchester United had a correlating steady message rooted at the epicenter of all these information.
The underlying messages received over the past yeah true information said collecting around Jackie Groanen before the midfielder had a departure from Leigh Sports Village were as follows- 1) Jackie Groenen was set to depart Manchester United as a result of no level of serious efforts carried out by the Manchester United hierarchy to stop the impending future of seeing a top player walkout of a developing Manchester United women's team- AGAIN!
Secondly- the current reality that Manchester United women's team and Manchester United fans are currently witnessing is unraveling is a future that came as a result of the Manchester United board has successfully implemented a strategy where the board will avoid necessary expenditure at the cost of sacrificing a top player service with the underlying reason being the simple notion that the Glazer simply wanted to save money for themselves.
It's easy for readers, pacifically football fans- in this case, Manchester United fans- to fall for the multiple fictional stories which continue to be printed out about Manchester United regularly in the modern era. realistically, the reasonable path for any reader or any football enthusiast you take will be to A) Receive a story, B) invest time to conduct proper research to discover the actual facts about the topic. and C) Come to the conclusion of whether or not to categorize the story as factual or fictitious. With that being said, here's what's actually known to have transpired between the three parties which compromise of- Manchester United hierarchy, Jackie Groanen, and Guidos Albers-
For the past year and a half, before Dutch midfielder Jackie Groenen officially secured her transition from Manchester United to French side Paris St German, the understood situation which had transpired between the Dutch midfielder, her agent Guidos Albers and the Manchester United hierarchy had been that multiple conversations were understood to had transpired between all three parties which had presented the prospect of a new contract given to Jackie Groenen which would have seen the Dutch midfielder extend her career as a Manchester United player to a potential three extra years at the very least.
A further three years of an exceptional player in Jackie Groenen explain how bags of talent as in Manchester United player was certainly a vision Manchester United fans would have accepted wholeheartedly. The understood fact is that a contract was certainly presented to Jackie Groenen throughout the past 2022 summer season. The downside or rather the embarrassingly disappointing aspect of the situation which led to the ultimate breakdown in conversations between Manchester United’s representative and Jackie Groanen s representative was that the contract presented to the Dutch midfielder simply did not match the expectations of the Dutch midfielder and her agent.
Penny-pinching has been a concept largely existing within the Manchester United women's team thanks largely to the involvement of the Manchester United hierarchy as the Manchester United hierarchy had been the leading catalyst to present the existence of penny-pinching within the Manchester United women's sector sit-back to witness first hand as the embarrassing act returns to haunt the Red Devils once again
Basically, Manchester United hierarchy had offered a contract to Jackie Groanen which embroidered within the contract was a level of rewards that simply did not match the expectations which Jackie Groenen and Guidos Albers deemed befitting of a player who held such a key status and clear who held such a key role necessary to instigate the achievement of top success within this growing Manchester United women's team. Jackie Groanen wanted to stay a Manchester United player for the long hull with the Dutch player hoping to extend her career as a Manchester United player by securing another potential three-year contract with deserving, lucrative, fees worthy of a top player of Jackie Groenens’ caliber.
The bottom line is that Manchester United simply did not want to pay the level of keys demanded from Jackie Groenen and Guidos Albers because the Manchester United hierarchy was operating and continues to upgrade with the intent of implementing low-cost budgets amongst active contracts held by players within the Manchester United women's team.
An Interesting concept especially when you consider the level of somewhat extravagant contracts currently held by players suggests Leah Galton, Ella Toone, Mary Earps, Katie Zelem, and Kirsty Hanson. A touch of English bias perhaps?
At the end of the day, the presence of conspiracies attached to the Manchester United women's scheme was certainly not resulted in the completion of the ongoing project now underway within the Manchester United women's team which is to produce a Manchester United women's team capable of attaining top success in the European women's football sector. Nevertheless, this does not negate the fact that Manchester United refused to offer a key top player Jackie Groenen a new contract this past season.
Losing the services of a top player not only Jackie Groenen but also the likes of Kirsty Hanson currently on loan and the anticipated prospect of losing players such as Millie Turner, Ona Battle, and Haley Ladd to present a scary sight of a future that remains existent as a result of there we are currents of massive oversights on the part of the Manchester United board we turn the services of quality players within a growing team.
Evidentially, the majority of football analysts and the majority of Manchester United fans who have kept tabs on the situation unraveling at Leigh Sports village have admitted that the disappointing level of inability Manchester United hierarchy had displayed to retain the services of the top player remains a damaging outcome which has provided further stumbling blocks limiting the progress generated by the Manchester United women's team on the way to attaining the goal of achieving top success in the women football sector.
However, is understood to be that the damage is done and the only way forward is to move past the incident and continue to look at ways to generate success within this Manchester United women's team over the next two years
Remain a Manchester United player and help the team generate success in the future!
That was the plan Jackie Groenen is understood to have drawn up with her agent over the last year. Jackie Groenen wanted to stay at Manchester United, Manchester United wanted the Dutch midfielder to remain a Manchester United player and Jackie Groenen’s agent truly did everything he could to see the Dutch midfielder secure a new extension to her career as a Manchester United by signing a new well worth the services offered by the player within the Manchester United women's team.
This seemed to be a deal that would have provided smooth sailing into a future that will accommodate Jackie Groenen to remain a Manchester United player as all three parties are understood to add being In Sync with the agreement embroidered and then proposed new contract except in one aspect which was the financial department. Once again, Manchester United throughout the past year did not want to provide the level of salary Jackie Groanen and her agent Guidos Albers felt the Dutch midfielder deserved there's probably the level of importance the Manchester United hierarchy understood Jackie Groenen had injected into this relatively young Manchester United women's team amid Manchester United wins game intent on engineering success for themselves within the current highly competitive women's First Division football.
The future goals of securing two of the biggest major trophies in the English women's First Division football known as The Champions league trophy and the Barclays FA women's Super League trophy are targets which the concrete understanding of the mentality operating within the Manchester United women team with some of this mentality unless they do the very active particularly within the Manchester United executive members involved in the women sector is that the idea of seeing the Manchester United women's team lift any major trophy will be a goal expected to be accomplished after two more years at least.
However, the two-year project becomes an even more daunting task to accomplish when reoccurring situations such as observing top players walk out of the Manchester United women's team with no level of quality retention clearly implemented within this Manchester United women's team at least not of the highest standard.
The current realistic notion attached to the Manchester United Women's team is one of a somewhat realistic notion which is that the Red Devils are yet to match the caliber of an Arsenal women's team, a Manchester City team, or even a Chelsea women's team in terms of being a team able to play to the standard which will rightfully propel the Manchester United Women's team to the point where the Red Devils can expect to progress on and lift the Barclays FA women's Super League trophy.
Difficult to see the Manchester United women's team manifest the goal of attaining top success in the future into reality if the current system operating within the Manchester United women's team which is the system of signing a player for three years at the max and then watching from the sky box or from the bleachers as the player walk out the door of Leigh Sports Village after three years max despite the level of quality the player has injected and continues to inject into the Manchester United women's team-
Surely at some point, the act of quality retention has to click in the mind of the Manchester United hierarchy and in the mind of incoming football director Polly Bancroft as the right path to success in the long term for the Manchester United women's team. Right?
Being able to qualify for Champions League football is certainly in the cards this season for the Manchester United Women's Team this season simply because the Red Devils have the quality necessary to accomplish such a task come April 2023.
But the reality is that Champions League football had been in the cards for the Manchester United Women's team for the past two years at least and this was thanks to the help of players such as Jackie Groenen and the level of quality players such as the Dutch midfielder as well as other quality players who had been a part of the Manchester United winners team for the past two years at least had injected into women's sector at Leigh Sports Village you instigate gradual progression within the Manchester United women's team for the past three years.
The response to the conversation of how relevant was Jackie Groenen to the understood growth registered within the Manchester United Womens team since the team was conceived five years ago has been relatively unanimous- Jackie Groenen, even after she has departed from Manchester United, continues to be regarded as one of the major players who were absolutely critical to the development and growth of the Manchester United Women's Team.
Groenens'importance during her time as a Manchester United player stretches her critical role in propelling the Manchester Uni9ted women's team from second-division women's league football to climbing up in the ranks of the Barclay FA women's Super League table to nearly helping the Red Devil secure Champions League qualification in her only three seasons of action in the Barclays FA women's Super League competition.
"Essential" is one of the words which might come close to doing justice 2 the level of importance Jackie Groenen held within the Manchester United women's team. quality, flair, connection, and understanding between herself and her teammate simply made Jackie running one of the key figures expected to stick around the lead Manchester United to the top with other key players found within this Manchester United women's team who had played equal, integral, parts towards the gradual, progression towards achieving top success.
A progression rate continues to unravel this season within the Manchester United wins team on Mark Skinners' second-year tenure as Head manager of the Red Devils.
The upward trajectory was certainly the direction the Red Devils were headed with Jackie Groenen our share of the workload just as much as other players within the Manchester United winning scheme which prompts the question of why Jackie Groenen was allowed to leave Manchester United this 2022 summer season?
Questions such as this have been asked and so far, one of the few concrete answers received appears to be that Manchester United simply refused to spend the increased funding expected to be injected into a new contract for such a key player if the Dutch midfielder had remained to add Manchester United.
