Three signings now will evolve to one deadline day loan signing with protests of how difficult it is to sign players in a World Cup year. Meanwhile all of our rivals will add on average about four players each.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

He is talking about shirts probably due to hysterical numpties scared of financial collapse. Also do you really want him commenting on what happens on the pitch?
There is a large number of posters here just twisting everything they can to fit their agenda. And it's ruining discussions.

I think what Woodward is not taking into account are those players he might not think of selling, but actually want to leave.

to be fair Martin Edwards often talked about games and players, he was a fan of the game as well as being a businessman.He is talking about shirts probably due to hysterical numpties scared of financial collapse. Also do you really want him commenting on what happens on the pitch?

"We will continue to invest in squad as need to to make sure we compete at the highest level," he added.
The man can't even speak English properly and he's running our damn club! Moyes out, wait, Moyes? I mean Woodward out!

Canto has been consistently on it these days. I can't actually see what Woody has said wrong tbh.He is talking about shirts probably due to hysterical numpties scared of financial collapse. Also do you really want him commenting on what happens on the pitch?

To be fair Edwards was in a slightly more comfortable situation.to be fair Martin Edwards often talked about games and players, he was a fan of the game as well as being a businessman.
Yep, even by his standards his posting has been appalling. I understand why people think Moyes should go, but none of them arguments have come from Canto, despite him not shutting up for weeks now. It's the old 'empty vessels ' adage.Canto has been consistently on it these days. I can't actually see what Woody has said wrong tbh.

What rule have I broken now precious? I was trying to tell you in a few threads now, as a moderator, that you have been breaking one of the discussion guidelines over and over by not actually participating in discussions, but agenda posting as we call it. If you prefer more silent moderation that's fine. I'll just ban you from any threads I feel you are doing this in. You get the government you deserve. There have been calls to ban you and a few others from the United forum altogether until you untwist your knickers and contribute to the discussions. You'll have to reply to this by PM if you want to reply.

That's something that is always likely to annoy some sections of fans. I wouldn't class that as agenda posting.

The problem he (KC) seems to have is relying on the Mirror to get details of what was said.
If you want to know what Woodward said in context read the full report. Don't rely on a red top to give you the highlights, because they take stuff out of context and you end up looking a bit silly.

So do you think Moyes does not want to sign players or that he won't be backed by the club? Neither make much sense and one would think the Mata signing would have shut some of your up but apparently not.This. Watch the excuses by moyes come in early this summer.

Personally I think Woodward is in the same boat as Moyes this summer. They both have a bit to prove I suppose. It will make for a very interesting time I reckon.
You wouldn't class what as agenda posting? Him getting annoyed about the money man talking about money?That's something that is always likely to annoy some sections of fans. I wouldn't class that as agenda posting.
If you are just talking about this thread then keep your beak out, if you have looked back at all his posts over the last few weeks, we'll compare notes.

I really can't see how our Chief Executive, during a conference call to investors, talking about commercial priorities is a problem. That's his job. What's he supposed to do, bring in sponsorships by showing them Youtube vids of Januzaj?
Good stuff from Woodward and an assurance that a season or two of falling short on the pitch won't have disastrous consequences financially. Or at least that's how the Glazers see things and we can expect them to act accordingly.

I think that's the nature of the modern soccer franchise, yes it's shit, and if I was to think about it too long it would depress me, but not the current regime's fault.That comment about increasing twitter followers was sad.

This thread is fairly comical though, he says he wants to bring in loads and get rid of loads, something loads of people on here have been crying out for, and instead people focus on other aspects of what he said, aspects relating to ... his job.

Why, we live in 2014 not...whatever the year was before twitter was invented. Twitter followers/FB 'likes' means money as we can say to sponsors 'pay us and we'll have your tweet sent directly to X millions with our own endorsement.'

It is though, isn't it? At a basic level, it indicates that people around the world are interested in Manchester United. I realize it's all part of the "brand" side of football which is annoying, cynical and soul sapping, but its also necessary in order to compete at the highest level.No, it's really not. And that's why it's sad.

It's a rather negligible amount. It was also sad because of the small amount of new twitter followers he stated. How does this differ from regular days? Either way, it's a small time thing to bring up. Sure, it's a business. I'm guessing it wouldn't even come up if United were currently successful. Do we think City or Barcelona are discussing twitter followers on conference calls? Sure, could easily be down to the stupidity of investors needing to see upward trends of nonsense to justify their investment but it's small time. And decidedly so.Why, we live in 2014 not...whatever the year was before twitter was invented. Twitter followers/FB 'likes' means money as we can say to sponsors 'pay us and we'll have your tweet sent directly to X millions with our own endorsement.'
OK, but mind your own business unless you know what you are poking your nose into. I don't, and the forum doesn't need your opinion on moderation. If you have an issue report it or PM someone. Have a nice day.I never apologized nor do you deserve one.

I knew what I was talking about which is why I said it. The forum doesn't pick and chose what posters say which is what makes it one of the better ones. You take care as well.OK, but mind your own business unless you know what you are poking your nose into. I don't, and the forum doesn't need your opinion on moderation.

Yes it does, which is what makes it one of the better ones, and you were told to make any off topic input by PM. Bye.I knew what I was talking about which is why I said it. The forum doesn't pick and chose what posters say which is what makes it one of the better ones. You take care as well.

Did he say what United's Klout score is?
Nothing wrong with Woodward's comments. He will not discuss the football in detail, and if he discusses it at all, it would always be a throw away comment like 'we all hope things will get better' etc. He has again affirmed his committment to bringing players in, and letting dross go, which is just as important.
Hardly expect him to complain about crosses now.

I'd be on his back if he attempted to discuss the football in any depth. So really the man can't win.

People having a go at the club for the Twitter thing probably lose a large part of the integrity of their argument for making it on an internet message board.

The biggest problem with conversations on here surrounding the CEO's job performance and the club's financial operations is that the vast majority simply don't understand them. Was the same with Gill, too.
Businesses are frequently quoting social media stats these days, it's pathetic, but spreading.

What do people expect him to say? It has to be reassuring blah within the boundaries of reality. That's his job.
