We do drag our feet. Odd because if we have been in contact for so long it seems strange that these slight problems re image rights would have been looked into a long time ago.
Just hope our transfer's this summer don't drag as much as previous years. Van Gaal blocked transfers, Moyes dithered- how much fault in these were down to Woodward we will never know, just hope that having had 3 summers now worth of dealings that Woodward has earned some respect of sorts in those circles because its ok having Mourinho at the helm but if you have a bumbling fool at the end of the process it does not matter how big a draw the manager is.
If Woodward pulls off Mourinho which looks likely at this stage and then gets some signings in pre Euro 2016 before prices inflate then we could be in for a good summer/start to the season.
Mourinho must have done his homework and he does seem the kind of manager who signs players who will fit his system rather than buying for the sake of it- not saying he has never done that- Falcao at Chelsea, Salah, Cuadrado all seemed like poor panic buys, but with full control on transfers here without an Abramhovic or Perez forcing players on him we might just become a more well rounded unit.
At the moment i am 50/50 on how this will all play out- it could be a stroke of genius, manager with a point to prove who some say stock has dropped and is tactically outdated at a club who has been ridiculed for 3 years in a similar position but still one of the biggest names in football- we could gel and see a decent 5 years- he could finally have found the club that suits his demeanor - or it will crash and burn- we can only be optimistic after Van Gaal and Moyes but we know there are no guarantees.
Roll on a summer of muppetry and the new season!
