The lucky General

As England continue through Euro '24 exactly as I predicted, it looks like Gareth Southgate is indeed a 'lucky General'. The longest serving England Manager since Bobby Robson and I daresay the most successful since Sir Alf Ramsey, England are heading for another Euros Final appearance.

Since the Tournament started England have been pilloried by ex players, pundits and fans alike but are currently in the Semi Finals where they will face the Netherlands. No matter what you think of Gareth's tactical acumen, the FA have handed him a 2 year extension, as a Man Utd fan I breathed a sigh of relief. Our Gareth is best suited to international management.

Though I see that hasn't stopped Man Utd extending ETH's contract and ensuring we will have yet another rollercoaster of a Season. Somebody should tell the Utd Board when your in a hole please stop digging. Does nobody have Carlo Ancelotti's number?

Welcome to my by now almost 1.9K Subscribers. As I said 28 Editions ago we would reach that stage where YOU had to do something. Yes YOU. I tried to time this perfectly to coincide with England's march to the Euro title and indeed things have gone down to the wire, all the way to penalties you might say.

I believe if you want to be Transformation Leaders, you need to do some 'Training'. I have 2 Books written but you don't get the second until you have mentally prepared for it. I want you to use July and August, pre Season if you will, in order to experience what change is all about for yourself, before embarking on leading it across your team or business.

I want you to Change yourself. For those of you familiar with the in vogue 30 Day Challenge phenomenon, I think this is more than enough time for you to perform a little self improvement. It is perfectly timed for when you have that holiday break and before we address the serious challenge of turning around Man Utd's fortunes - insert your business issue as appropriate.

I have written you Volume 1 in the manner and style of this Newsletter, if you like the style you will love the Book. I actually do mean that, I had a 'ball' writing it.

It follows the fortunes of Gareth Southgate's England at World Cup 2018 whilst weaving in 12 suggestions, open goals if you will, that could help transform your life. It is a rollercoaster of a story told through the eyes of Brian our main character.

I manage to name check famous Chef's, bring in Carl Jung off the bench and skilfully avoid the political minefield of Brexit with the deftness of Jude Bellingham at his finest.

It is my pleasure to present to you 'Leaders go First' available from Amazon.

I hope you enjoy it,

Best Regards,

Michael Ryan
