Atomic Habits

Started reading this book ; recommended by a YouTube channel. Loved the book, things are clear with a crisp explanation. It starts with the narrator's real life story , about his injury and his recovery , how he felt depressed and overwhelmed for months and how everything came about to end with his dwelling self doubt within, how he was thrown from his baseball team and being a player since age four, how humiliated it felt. All that helped him were his beliefs and his thoughts, he knew if things were going to improve, he was the one responsible for making it happen. He could have led his injury and shattered his life professionally and personally but he focused on building a positive outlook and building himself from scratch once again. He focused on getting his life in order while his peers stayed up late and played games , he built good sleep habits and went to bed early each night , In a world full of distractions and party culture, he made a point to build himself and kept him tidy and neat while hostellers are just messy in general. These improvements were minor but it led to a drastic change in future and it gave him a sense of control over his life . Changes were small and gradual but results were remarkable, and with better habits , anything is possible. He started small and made everything big , be it his website or his baseball career or his academics. Small changes in his habits and consistency made a big difference.

Then he started with a story of British cyclists where Dave Brailsford gave it a completely new trajectory; turned everything associated with cycling 1% better. We often convince ourselves that massive success requires massive action, and put pressure on ourselves to make some earth-shattering improvement that everyone will talk about. Getting 1% better each day will end up 37 times better by the end of the year. What starts as a small win or minor setback accumulates into much more. A little difference on any given day, delivered over months and years, can yield tremendous results. You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than your current results as it is a system that builds you. Time will multiply whatever you feed it, bad habits can cut you down as easily as good habits can build you up.  People make a few small changes, fail to see a tangible result, and decide to stop; it is often because they have not yet crossed the plateau of latent potential. Your work is not wasted, it is just being stored. All the action happens when it crosses the plateau of latent potential. Then the narrator also said, when nothing seemed to help, he got and looked at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow, it will split into two and that is not the last blow that did it but all that had gone before. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision but as the decision is repeated, the habit sprouts and grows stronger. A system of continuous small improvements will yield a different outcome.  Don't associate your happiness with the results, just trust the process and you will start loving the process.

Das Blatt wenden: Manchester Uniteds Comeback-Triumph über Aston Villa

Rasmus Højlund durchbrach in einem entscheidenden Moment eine 14-Spiele-Tordürre in der Premier League und sicherte Erik ten Hags Manchester United einen spannenden 3:2-Sieg über Unai Emerys formstarkes Aston Villa. Højlunds Volleyschuss mit dem linken Fuß traf in der 82. Minute das Netz, prallte vom rechten Pfosten von Emiliano Martínez ab und markierte das erste Premier-League-Tor des jungen Stürmers seit seinem Wechsel von Atalanta im Sommer. Trotz der frühen Kontrolle von Aston Villa durch Tore von John McGinn und Leander Dendoncker in der ersten Halbzeit sah sich United einer herausfordernden Situation gegenüber, da man in Rückstand war und zur Halbzeit Buhrufe von den Fans erhielt. Es folgte jedoch eine spektakuläre Wende, angeführt vom Doppelpack des 19-jährigen Alejandro Garnacho und dem entscheidenden Tor von Højlund, was United den ersten Sieg seit fünf Spielen bescherte. Die Freude über Højlunds Tor hallte auf der Tribüne wider, wo die Fans stolz ihre Manchester United trikot trugen, um das aufregende Comeback der Mannschaft zu feiern. Der Zeitpunkt für Højlunds Durchbruch war bedeutsam, da er mit der kürzlichen Übernahme eines 25-prozentigen Anteils an United durch Sir Jim Ratcliffe zusammenfiel und seinem Unternehmen INEOS die Kontrolle über den Fußballbetrieb verschaffte. Sir Dave Brailsford, der Sport-Guru von INEOS, war bei dem Spiel dabei und erlebte die Widerstandsfähigkeit der Spieler und ihr Engagement für Ten Hag, was eine potenzielle Garantie für die Arbeitsplatzsicherheit des Managers darstellen könnte. Während Sir Jim Ratcliffes INEOS die Kontrolle über den Fußballbetrieb übernimmt, schwingt die Bedeutung von Højlunds Tor über das Spielfeld hinaus mit und beeinflusst die Narrative auf und neben den günstige fußballtrikots. Als Sportdirektor von INEOS und neues Vorstandsmitglied wird Brailsford eine Rolle bei der laufenden Veränderung der Geschicke von United spielen. Der bahnbrechende Sieg brachte Manchester United auf den sechsten Platz in der Premier-League-Tabelle, während Aston Villa trotz des Rückschlags seinen dritten Platz behauptet und damit die Chance verpasst, mit Tabellenführer Liverpool gleichzuziehen. Der ausgelassene Jubel beim Schlusspfiff verdeutlichte die Bedeutung dieses Comebacks und die neue Hoffnung in Ten Hags Amtszeit als Manager.

Man United come from 2 goals down to beat Aston Villa

Rasmus Hojlund scored his first Premier League goal as Manchester United fought back from two goals down to record a sensational victory in a thrilling Boxing Day encounter with Aston Villa at Old Trafford. In United's first game since Sir Jim Ratcliffe's 25% purchase of the club, and with future director and current Ineos head of sport Sir Dave Brailsford in the directors' box, Erik ten Hag's side produced one of those 'back-from-the-dead' endings for which they are so famed. After John McGinn and Leander Dendoncker had given Villa a deserved half-time advantage, United rallied after the interval and refused to let their heads drop even after Alejandro Garnacho had a goal disallowed by VAR for a marginal offside decision. It was the 19-year-old Argentine who led the fightback, scoring twice in a game for the first time in his career to turn the game on its head. Villa did their best to stem the wave of home attacks. But, just as Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest discovered here in August, United retain some of the old doggedness from the Sir Alex Ferguson days. And, for the home fans at least, there could be no more fitting scorer than Hojlund, who reacted quickest and rammed the ball home after Bruno Fernandes' corner had struck McGinn and bounced free inside a packed penalty area. The relief for Hojlund and his team-mates was clear to see, with goalkeeper Andre Onana racing the full length of the pitch to join in the celebrations as Ten Hag bounced in delight, his fists clenched in evident celebration.

Manchester United: Sir Jim Ratcliffe agrees deal to buy 25% stake

Last updated on 5 hours ago5 hours ago.From the section Man Utd

British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe has agreed to buy a 25% stake in Manchester United for about $1.3bn (£1.03bn).

Ratcliffe’s Ineos Group will take control of football operations.

The 71-year-old will also provide $300m (£236m) for future investment into the club’s Old Trafford stadium.

The announcement comes 13 months after the club’s owners, the Glazer family, stated they were considering selling to “explore strategic alternatives”.

The American family bought the club for £790m in 2005.

The only other publicly declared bidder, Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, withdrew his offer to buy 100% of the club in October.

United have struggled on the pitch this season and have not won the Premier League since 2013, while there have been regular protests against the Glazer ownership.

Manchester-born Ratcliffe is chairman of petrochemicals company Ineos and says he is a “lifelong supporter of the club”. He tried and failed to buy Chelsea last year..

In a statement, he said: “Whilst the commercial success of the club has ensured there have always been available funds to win trophies at the highest level, this potential has not been fully unlocked in recent times.

“We will bring the global knowledge, expertise and talent from the wider Ineos Sport group to help drive further improvement at the club, while also providing funds intended to enable future investment into Old Trafford.

“We are here for the long term and recognise that a lot of challenges and hard work lie ahead, which we will approach with rigour, professionalism and passion. We are committed to working with everyone at the club – the board, staff, players and fans – to help drive the club forward.

“Our shared ambition is clear: we all want to see Manchester United back where we belong, at the very top of English, European and world football.”

The club say the deal is “subject to customary regulatory approvals” but are “hopeful it will be completed as soon as possible”.

There is initially going to be a six-to-eight week process for the deal to be ratified, which includes being signed off by the Premier League.

How will the deal work?

Ratcliffe has agreed to buy 25% of the club’s class B shares, largely held by the Glazer family, who own 69% of the club, and contain almost all the voting rights, and up to 25% of its class A shares, which are listed on the New York Stock Market. The shares are worth $33 per share.

It means the Glazer family will retain a majority stake in the club.

Taking on sporting control at the club means Ineos will oversee the men’s and women’s football operations and academies.

They will also get two seats on the Manchester United PLC and Manchester United Football Club boards.

Subject to necessary approvals, Ratcliffe will delegate his seats on the PLC board to John Reece, a shareholder of Ineos, and Rob Nevin, chairman of Ineos Sport.

On the UK club board he will delegate his seats to former British Cycling chief Sir Dave Brailsford and former Juventus and Paris St-Germain executive Jean-Claude Blanc.

United’s executive co-chairmen and directors, Avram Glazer and Joel Glazer, said: “Sir Jim and Ineos bring a wealth of commercial experience as well as significant financial commitment into the club.

“Through Ineos Sport, Manchester United will have access to seasoned high-performance professionals, experienced in creating and leading elite teams from both inside and outside the game.

“Manchester United has talented people right across the club and our desire is to always improve at every level to help bring our great fans more success in the future.”

Ineos already owns French Ligue 1 club Nice, who are currently second in the table and well placed to qualify for next season’s Champions League, and Swiss club Lausanne.

Its sporting portfolio also includes high-profile sailing team Ineos Britannia – led by Sir Ben Ainslie – which is aiming to win the 2024 America’s Cup for Great Britain.

Ineos also has a five-year partnership with Formula 1 team Mercedes, owning a third of the team – and took over the British-based Team Sky in cycling in 2019.

‘Trawlers Limited’ – the company owned by Ratcliffe which is making the acquisition – was inspired by the famous quote by former United striker Eric Cantona.

10 years of struggles

Fans opposed to the Glazers’ continued involvement at United have held a series of protests inside and outside Old Trafford over the last 12 months of a process which people close to it confidently predicted would be concluded by the end of last season.

The past decade, since legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, has seen inconsistency on the pitch despite a high transfer spend, and several big name managers hired and sacked.

United are again inconsistent this season under Dutch manager Erik Ten Hag, having lost 13 of their 26 games in all competitions, sitting eighth in the Premier League and having finished bottom of their Champions League group and been knocked out of the EFL Cup.

Manchester United Supporters’ Trust (Must) said “fans have very mixed feelings today” and that the Glazers’ ongoing role was “a cause for serious concern”.

The trust added that it wished Ratcliffe’s stake was more than 25% and that it is a “puzzle how any organisation can put its very core business in the hands of a minority shareholder, and how that meaningfully works in practice”.

“It is now incumbent on the club’s owners and management to properly explain how this new structure will work, where the new investment will be directed and how it will benefit the team on the field.

“Today might – just might – be a step forward for Manchester United after some very difficult years. But with the Glazers still in charge, people should understand that United fans will remain sceptical and wait for the proof in the pudding.”

Analysis

BBC Sport has been told by people inside and close to the club that a fresh pair of eyes was needed to assess its running.

The launch of the search for strategic alternatives effectively blocked former chief executive Richard Arnold from presiding over change. Now he has gone, Brailsford and Blanc will be doing the assessment. It will be intriguing to see what role interim chief executive Patrick Stewart will play.

On current evidence, they have a lot to go at.

While manager Erik ten Hag is convinced his team are on the right path, results indicate a truth behind something else BBC Sport has been told, that United like to congratulate themselves on doing easy transfer deals and shy away from difficult ones.

In other words, last summer, they signed players like Casemiro – who Real Madrid were happy to let go – for £70m, having failed to get Ten Hag’s first choice, Frenkie De Jong. This summer they went for Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta rather than Harry Kane, who United concluded was too expensive and too difficult to sign. Kane is the leading scorer in Europe’s big-five leagues, Hojlund is yet to get a Premier League goal.

Declan Rice has been outstanding for Arsenal this season, a potential game-changer in the title race. United signed Mason Mount, who was out of form before he got injured, and Sofyan Amrabat on loan from Fiorentina, who has not been able to secure a regular place in an unsuccessful team.

It is that kind of perceived wastefulness in the transfer market that has to be addressed.

Manchester United have fallen a significant distance, on and off the pitch, since Sir Alex Ferguson was in his pomp. Their fans can only hope, after false dawns under Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and, now, Ten Hag, this really is the start of the long climb back.

Timeline: How did Manchester United get here?

In January, Ratcliffe’s firm Ineos officially stated an interest and said the company had “formally put ourselves into the process”.

Ineos and Sheikh Jassim submitted their first bids for United in February, with the Qatari consortium saying their offer “plans to return the club to its former glories”.

By March, both parties had entered second, revised bids after a deadline was extended at their request, amid confusion.

Elliott Investment Management and leading private equity group Carlyle, both based in the US, also entered the race but were only willing to purchase a minority stake.

The potential sale reached a third round of bidding in April, with Thomas Zilliacus saying he had also submitted a bid to buy the club.

However, the Finnish entrepreneur declined to enter a another offer, saying he would not participate “in a farce” and instead decided to keep his earlier second bid on the table.

Although the Glazer family did not respond following the deadline on 28 April, there had been increasing confidence in the Ineos camp that their efforts to take over at Old Trafford would be successful after it emerged its bid put a higher overall value on the club than Sheikh Jassim, because he was paying more for a smaller stake.

In May, Sheikh Jassim made an improved fourth bid of nearer to £5bn for 100% of United, in an offer that would clear the almost £1bn debt of the club and included a separate fund for the club and local community.

Sheikh Jassim withdrew from the process to buy United in October after further talks broke down.

Ratcliffe had already amended his initial plan to buy the Glazers’ 69% shareholding and reduced it to a ‘majority’ stake.

However, it was only when he reduced it again, to 25%, that the potential for an agreement increased.

CORRECTION: 24 December 2023 – This story originally reported that the 25% stake was purchased for about £1.25bn, when the correct figure was in fact £1.03bn

Affaire Galtier : De nouvelles révélations impliquant Digard éclatent.

Les révélations sur l'affaire impliquant Christophe Galtier continuent de se succéder. De plus en plus de témoignages sortent au grand jour, laissant présager que cette affaire n'est qu'à ses débuts. Par ailleurs, il se murmure que la fin de cette saison pourrait également signifier la fin de l'aventure de Galtier sur le banc du PSG. L'OGC Nice regrettait d'avoir choisi Galtier comme entraineur ! Christophe Galtier se retrouve dans une situation de plus en plus difficile alors que les accusations à son encontre se multiplient. Ce mercredi, de nouvelles révélations surgissent alors qu'il était entraîneur de l'OGC Nice. Le coach du Paris Saint-Germain est devenu la cible de ces nouveaux éléments. L'étau se resserre donc autour de lui. Lire aussi : Molina balance sur Galtier : Moins de joueurs noirs et musulmans Le journal régional Nice Matin a publié dans son édition de ce matin des éléments importants. Cela concernerait l'affaire qui secoue la Ligue 1 et implique Christophe Galtier. Selon le quotidien, des conflits irréconciliables auraient éclaté entre Galtier et Julien Fournier, alors directeur du football de l'OGC Nice, qui a été licencié par l'actionnaire du club, INEOS. Cette décision aurait été prise suite à des plaintes de Galtier concernant le mercato. Avant son départ, Julien Fournier aurait envoyé un courriel explosif à Dave Brailsford, le directeur sportif. Il aurait exprimé de vives critiques envers Christophe Galtier. Selon Nice Matin, ces critiques auraient été à l'origine du départ de l'entraîneur parisien. Galtier aurait notamment critiqué le recrutement d'un nouveau joueur de confession musulmane, Pablo Rosario. Ce qui aurait provoqué la colère de Fournier, proche de Pape Diouf. Le quotidien indique également que Fournier aurait regretté de ne pas avoir choisi Erik ten Hag plutôt que Galtier. Il apparaissait alors comme une erreur de casting.

Ce dernier, en plein mois de Ramadan, s'était réveillé trop tard pour manger avant un match. Malgré les injonctions de Galtier qui avait demandé au joueur de déjeuner avant le coup d'envoi sous peine de ne pas être titularisé. Boudaoui a été aligné dans l'équipe sans avoir pris de repas. L'ambiance en interne s'est rapidement détériorée. Le passage de Christophe Galtier à Nice a clairement laissé des marques négatives, notamment chez Didier Digard. Des propos considérés comme "violents" auraient été proférés par Galtier à l'encontre de Digard, portant sur sa barbe et sa confession musulmane. La situation a même failli dégénérer en bagarre, mais Julien Fournier a réussi à éviter une altercation physique.
