He is right. All our transfers were given the go ahead by the manager. I don't think Woodward knew that the likes of James or Blind existed. However if the football men asks for 7 signings and he ends up concluding just 3 of them simply because the club is too slow and incompetent to get deals done then that will of course impact the football side
I can't knock Ed on giving it a go. He obviously has tried. He just now needs to let someone help him. My preferred choice is Rangnick but Campos is a close 2nd.
stop it, not you Ed
I've not laughed this much since the last time I laughed this much

Because Woodward has staked his current status on Ole succeeding. I don't think he will be fired along with Ole but he will emerge from the Ole shambles with much less power and influence than he has for the last six years. There is simply no way the Glazers are going to pay off a third long managerial contract in 6 years and continue trusting Woodward explicitly with their most prized asset that is fast losing value on account of his ineptitude. The way I see it is that after Ole is sacked, and its now just a matter of when, Woodward will be forced to cede all footballing power to a DOF and this is why he is on the defensive.
Now you understand how I feel when I read your posts in defence of Ed!stop it, not you Ed

No it's actually Gaylord, but if you want to laugh, laugh
You're missing the point. They spent the money for LVG. He spent on possession based players. Then they hire Jose, he needs a totally different type of player to LVG, so the majority of the money spent for LVG was wasted. Jose needed to get rid of possession based players for anti possession, counter attack players.
It's like investing to build a house. Then halfway through you keep knocking it down and starting again with a new design, a new builder. But you only give each builder enough money to build half a house!
The lurching from opposingly different styles of play from manager to manager has meant that every time we start again.
That is on Ed. You want him to take charge of it again!!? Wow.

He's proved he can't.
Well as long as you're been educated what's the harm?Now you understand how I feel when I read your posts in defence of Ed!
Something funny?
And then we went for "youth, courage, success" route which brought us to the current state of the team which is nothing less than shambolic as a direct consequence of all these decisions.
Wonder which will be our slogan and direction for next year.
And a supporters nightmare.
Blind loyalty.
Not bad.
Glad that he is feeling the heat.He's actually getting me vex
I'd say I'm being entertained more than educated...more than what Ed and his dross are managing!Well as long as you're been educated what's the harm?
Why would any manager want to sell any player then? Balancing the book is not their job. They obviously don't care if they have a Phil Jones in the team, worst case scenario, he'll be luxury ball boy.
If you ask any of them, they want new toys and whatever. That's exact attitude is why we still have Rojo in the team.
We have biggest wage bill in the league ffs and you are here telling me it isn't CEO's job then what is? Damage control?
Opportunity cost is opportunity cost. We don't have unlimited budget and our model is outdated for current market.
He has very publicly nailed his colours to Ole's mast over the past year, which puts him in a pretty much untenable position once Solskjaer goes down. He has not made such public proclamations of support for any of the other managers under his tenure, so I think this is his last throw of the dice.
I'd love to see the back of him. Glazers too of course, but this guy will go first.

It is 100% Ed's fault. He's the man in charge. He and and his board, decides what happens at the club.
With all these press briefings, they're definitely feeling the heat. How can you come out and brief that things are going well? People who lap this up and side with him, how? It's no longer left to opinion whether he's doing a good or bad job, it's now factual that he's doing a TERRIBLE job!
This does show though that they're reading what fans are saying online If we needed any proof of that,of course.
Does vex play in central midfield?He's actually getting me vex
Only the precious ones.
Well at least you admit to being educated, at least i'm not totally wasting my time.I'd say I'm being entertained more than educated...more than what Ed and his dross are managing!
And those who don't like spinning, lying, deceiving.Only the precious ones.
The tragic part is that he is telling the truth, at United football decisions are supposed to be taken by a combination of Butt, Murtough and the manager depending on whether we are talking about the first team or the academy. Now people have wondered about the common denominator since 2013 and on that side of the club it's Murtough, someone that people completely ignored until a week or two ago.
Bus, Under, Throw
The Manager whoever he is still needs a squad, and if he feels certain players are worth keeping around in case of injuries it makes sense to, as long as they are not disruptive what's the harm, it's not as though we've got half a dozen players like Winston Bogarde sat around counting their pennies making no effort to get into the team.
Maybe his next interview will be about why he fvcks around for months in the summer not making transfers and goes on holiday instead. But manages to spend an awful lot of time smarming around noodle organisations making money for his parasitic pathogen employers.
and while we’re at it let’s hope those w@nkstains that own the club start ‘releasing’ charm offensives soon too

Woodward is a clown and a cretin, and his shills are everywhere it seems..
That wouldn't be John Murtough, a Scouser brought to the club by David Moyes would it?
Ah another one that believes everything they read.
If you picked out I'm being educated from my reply, I understand your state of mind more and more and begin to have empathy for you!Well at least you admit to being educated, at least i'm not totally wasting my time.
He wasn't brought by Moyes but Woodward and he is a director.That wouldn't be John Murtough, a Scouser brought to the club by David Moyes would it?
Well both Woodward and Murtough should be under that bus, the former for hiring him and changing everyone but him and the latter for seemingly not doing his job properly. But from the outside it's weird that he has been barely mentioned in the last 6 years when some journalist supposed to be in the know pretended that there was no football man above the manager.
Can he just stop talking? Mere mention of his name irritates me nowadays when I come across it.
Hes full of sh*t! hes not bluffing anyone here.
What an arrogant statement to make. I think they might actually be feeling some of the criticism at the higher level if they are coming out with this nonsense. Funny how he puts full blame and responsibility on for tranfser decisions on Ole here, yet how many times has Ole (and previously Jose) said when it comes to transfers and the process on how they work, that simply wasnt their job and had nothing to do with it.
Jose and LVG must be having a right chuckle at these comments this morning.
I think this is Ed starting the process of throwing Ole under the bus and rinse repeat.

And yet you're proving my point. Instead of renewing Phil Jones' contract, we could have Harry Macguire for few seasons ago if invested smartly. This is the same Ed that overpaid players when he could get them sooner & cheaper.
Like I said opportunity cost is still a cost. It's the harm you're asking for.
Brilliant people? £850m spent on transfers in six years and the largest annual wage bill in the Premier League and what do we have to show for it? United have been a disaster on the field under Woodward's stewardship and he bears ultimate responsibility for all of it. "Brilliant people" indeed.
