I don't care at the moment who's the one appointed, because in any case their abilities to perform that role are unknown. The key is that finally there will be a football person reading the situation, being able to draw a strategy, and then planning and offering solutions. I guess Woodward will have the final word and I'm not sure about potential interferences, but at least he's not the one orchestrating everything which is something to celebrate.
With the rumours about Phelan, Rio and Fletcher it seems to me that we're bringing back the 'Fergie boys' to make their thing. I'm not saying SAF will be ruling in the shadows or he's aiming for power, but I have the feeling that his influence is being determinant in this process and probably the 'football board', which was ignored before appointing Mourinho is having a say now.
Because I give it zero chances at Woodward or the Glazers suggesting Solskjaer as interim, so probably the same who suggested him in the first place is the one behind the movement. I don't mean it in a negative way, but it's strange that Woodward and the Glazers are so keen suddenly on the United way, the good old days when they sold our soul to the devil without blinkering in the last years.
I don't expect miracles with this and everything being perfect, but at least I hope there's some values and the football culture back at the club's offices. If this is a small or big step forward we'll see it with time, but the joke of Ed Woodward being the architect of Manchester United needed to end with urgency.
