🚨🗣️ - Kaveh Solhekol goes COMPLETELY IN on Sir Jim Ratcliffe live on air:
“I'm going to tell you who's to blame for this situation at the moment. The person to blame is Jim Ratcliffe.
“He bought the club almost three years ago. He bought 29% of it, when the Glazer family put the club up for sale. He didn't buy the whole club, he only bought 29% of it. And by buying 29%, it meant that the Glazers STAYED in place and Jim Ratcliffe got to run the football operations.
“He's come in and he said, 'I know better than anyone else how to run this club. We're going to do things my way.' And look what it's turned out to be over the past two and a half years.
“First of all, he said, 'I'm going to back Erik ten Hag. We've been chopping and changing managers too much.' Then he went off and started meeting Thomas Tuchel and any other manager who was available behind Erik ten Hag's back.
“When they couldn't find somebody else, they gave Ten Hag a new contract and money to spend. A couple of games later, Ten Hag loses his job.
“In the middle of the season, they beg Ruben Amorim to come to United. He doesn't even want to go there in the middle of the season; he wants to wait until the summer. They pay a fortune to get him, even though he plays three at the back, a totally different kind of football.
“Dan Ashworth doesn't want him. Dan Ashworth leaves, Ruben Amorim comes in, they go all in on Ruben Amorim. That doesn't work out. They get rid of him.
“They bring in Carrick as an interim. Okay, results are better. Then they give him the full-time job.
“In the meantime, Ratcliffe has come in and said, 'We're going to do things my way. No player is going to get paid 250, 300 grand a week here anymore. That's not going to happen. We're not going to sign any players for more than 60, 70 million pounds.’
“So Mateus Fernandes, Elliot Anderson, Harry Kane, Declan Rice, all these players, we ain't going to be signing them. And also, we're only going to be signing players with Premier League experience. And we're going to sign forwards one window, then the following summer we're just going to sign midfielders, then next summer we're just going to sign defenders.
“So this is Jim Ratcliffe's way of doing things. So he is to blame for this situation.”
TAKE A BOW, SON. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

The intellectual superiority and tendency to punch down actually reveal the limitations of intelligence itself.
Academic success is only one measure of intelligence; emotional intelligence, empathy, humility, self-awareness & the ability to engage with others
#that account feels like they’re intellectually superior to others.
it’s a regular occurrence at this point
this is so true.
The moment you begin to treat your own interpretation as the only intellectually defensible one, you stop learning. Intelligence without intellectual humility easily becomes arrogance and being able to articulate why you think you’re right doesn’t automatically mean you’ve understood everything there is to understand.

My stance on side chicks is personal because I have been one.
It happened because my self esteem and sense of self wasn’t even on the floor. It simply didn’t exist.
In the moment, you will absolutely have multiple explanations and excuses to excuse yourself for taking part +
