Based on just media reports, what woody got right:
- Ruled out selling Martial and possibly, Pogba and gave the two assurances about their future
- Seems to have understood the need for a footballing director (but remains to be seen)
- Sacking Mourinho before we got out of top 4 but still waited too long in my opinion.
I won't give him points on appointing Ole and Phelan as that clearly seems to be a master-mind idea of SAF.
What he got wrong:
- Not backing Mourinho in the transfer window after giving him a contract extension, especially in CB and RW - which effectively has written off this season for us.
- Ruling out signings like Perisic in the previous windows who would have been a good addition for us IMO.
