Anyone else notice how one day after Ole says we're two or three signings away, he adds a 'never said we'd buy in January'.
Ladies and gentlemen, Woodward at work.

Are you implying that Ole Glazer Solskjaer is some sort of yes man?Anyone else notice how one day after Ole says we're two or three signings away, he adds a 'never said we'd buy in January'.

Not really seen or heard much of Ed lately. Usually he's quite vocal after big victories. I'm of the opinion that, he's been slowly taking off transfer and media duties. I'm certainly not itk but the big Alibab deal, it was all Arnold. Didn't see Ed at Spurs or at City (not to my knowledge anyway) and all the recent reports linking us to Sancho and Haaland has been about Bout, Ole and Judge.Anyone else notice how one day after Ole says we're two or three signings away, he adds a 'never said we'd buy in January'.

Well

To my mind that had more to do with De Gea turning into Taibi during that period.To be fair we probably wouldn't be in the Europa league if he'd pulled his finger out towards the end of last season and played like one of the best midfielders who could walk into any side on the planet.
What? Vocal how before?Not really seen or heard much of Ed lately. Usually he's quite vocal after big victories. I'm of the opinion that, he's been slowly taking off transfer and media duties.

Woodward's MO has never been to come out (through "briefings") stating we won't spend money. His spin has always been that we're super rich and can land anyone, at any time.Ladies and gentlemen, Woodward at work.
I don't think he will. He did a few interviews when things were going bad, Ole was under a bit of pressure and more importantly Woodward's name was appearing in a few articles and they were exactly flattering.What? Vocal how before?
Woodward historically has not done press other than the mandatory investor calls.
That said; he has been unorthodoxly active the last two months actually giving one or two interviews; supporting OGS and, which is a good thing. We have heard more from Woodward the last two months than we have ever done since he was appointed CEO.
It would be better for the club and the fanbase to hear more from him than just the numbers crunching at the investor calls.
So "vocal after big victories"? Wtf are you talking about? The man has not done media before. Which was a mistake IMO. I hope he keeps this new approach up.
I think this is probable as well. Still think he should continue the transparancy of lately though. But I agree, it will probably not happen. It will be the investor briefing for the Q2-report next.I don't think he will. He did a few interviews when things were going bad, Ole was under a bit of pressure and more importantly Woodward's name was appearing in a few articles and they were exactly flattering.
If the team continue to performance, we won't hear from him at all which is as it should be imo. The manager is the face of the club.
Talk to me in a proper manner. Don't be swearing at me in my replies! If you can't express yourself in an ordinary manner in public posts, dm me and we'll have a slagging off match there!What? Vocal how before?

Naw, I prefer to call out your bullshit in public. Is that "swearing" btw?Talk to me in a proper manner. Don't be swearing at me in my replies! If you can't express yourself in an ordinary manner in public posts, dm me and we'll have a slagging off match there!
Call it out then? What is it you're actually calling out?Naw, I prefer to call out your bullshit in public. Is that "swearing" btw?
Well, the contents of your last post before this one. The "Woodward has gone quiet one". When its exactly the opposite. In the real world. We have never seen Woodward so active in media as we have the last 2-3 months. Somehow you seem to think the opposite. You should not be so overexcited when someone points out that you do not know what you are talking about.Call it out then? What is it you're actually calling out?
Is it my fault you can't read? Read what I said before you go and spout stuff out.Well, the contents of your last post before this one. The "Woodward has gone quiet one".

Did he actually say that? I've been busy this week, not seen any quotes from him though.Anyone else notice how one day after Ole says we're two or three signings away, he adds a 'never said we'd buy in January'.

He hasn't been near them in years, Matt Judge does the negotiations.Not really seen or heard much of Ed lately. Usually he's quite vocal after big victories. I'm of the opinion that, he's been slowly taking off transfer and media duties. I'm certainly not itk but the big Alibab deal, it was all Arnold.

What did he misread? Your opinion was that Woodward was being taken off media duties, based on the false idea that he's been vocal after big victories, when in reality he's been more active in the media than before.Is it my fault you can't read? Read what I said before you go and spout stuff out.
You seem a very angry individual. you're very aggressive. Is everything ok? You can seek help for your anger issues.
Very correct but just with all the recent player links etc Ed's name hasn't been mentioned as much. But like I say, that's just my opinion. For me, he's just not been seen at either the Spurs or City game. Usually we see Ed there, win, lose or draw.He hasn't been near them in years, Matt Judge does the negotiations.

Dont confuse him with facts. He will get very upset.He hasn't been near them in years, Matt Judge does the negotiations.

Hahahaha, wtf are you? Can you prove to me that Ed has never been vocal after big victories to oppose my opinion?!What did he misread? Your opinion was that Woodward was being taken off media duties, based on the false idea that he's been vocal after big victories, when in reality he's been more active in the media than before.
And you need to chill the feck out, my dude. If anyone comes off as angry and aggressive here, it's you, flying off the handle over a 'wtf.'
Hahahaha, where were the facts in your outburst? Or was it your opinion???Dont confuse him with facts. He will get very upset.
The frustrating part of being a United supporter is the never ending daily links to players.Very correct but just with all the recent player links etc Ed's name hasn't been mentioned as much. But like I say, that's just my opinion. For me, he's just not been seen at either the Spurs or City game. Usually we see Ed there, win, lose or draw.
Yea. As frustrating as it is, it just comes with the territory of being a United supporter. Put United's name to something, it sells.The frustrating part of being a United supporter is the never ending daily links to players.
It's become so bad in recent years that I've seen some twitter pages keeping record of every single player linked. Last summer we were linked with approx 150 players in approx a 3 months window if memory serves right.
I do my best to stick to an extremely small group of reliable journalists at this point and even then, still tend to take it all with a huge bucket of salt.
Talk to me in a proper manner. Don't be swearing at me in my replies! If you can't express yourself in an ordinary manner in public posts, dm me and we'll have a slagging off match there!Hahahaha, wtf are you? Can you prove to me that Ed has never been vocal after big victories to oppose my opinion?!
Rhethoric 101: Dont start your posts with "Ha....s". Does not look good.Hahahaha, where were the facts in your outburst? Or was it your opinion???
But you said it was fine to talk in that aggressive manner? So why so touchè, petal?Talk to me in a proper manner. Don't be swearing at me in my replies! If you can't express yourself in an ordinary manner in public posts, dm me and we'll have a slagging off match there!
I said my it's my opinion. So I never stated facts. So you're incorrect.Rhethoric 101: Dont start your posts with "Ha....s". Does not look good.
That said: If you post arguments or facts that are opposable/incorrect; you will be called out for it and people will argue with you.
Its how it should be on the Caf.
You posted some incorrect stuff about Woodward being "quiet" lately when its actually the other way around. Man up and acknowledge it.
I don't know if you're dense or if you think that was a "gotcha" moment?But you said it was fine to talk in that aggressive manner? So why so touchè, petal?
Dense? That's very nice thing to call someone. If someone can't understand what you're saying, maybe the fault is with you?I don't know if you're dense or if you think that was a "gotcha" moment?
I'm also laughing at the idea that a lone 'wtf' is supposedly 'talking in an aggressive maner.'
Good points. There is a definite opening to top 4. A win tomorrow and we are 2 points off it. Glazers put their hands in their pockets and get us at least a WC / very good AM in January and we could end up with a defining season for Ole and the young players. Finish top 4 and all of a sudden there is renewed hope for the future.We've had an interesting turn of momentum amongst the expected Top 6. After our abysmal early form, Arsenal, Spurs, City and now Chelsea have been dropping points at alarming rate. It's much like the first time Leicester won the title. Shame Liverpool is so far ahead otherwise we'd be in for an unlikely repeat.
Anyhow, the scenario is such that going into the holiday matches and January we have a significant hope of getting into the Top 4 if we make a big splash in January. This is an opportunity to salvage a season that was likely going to be passable as a 'transition' into one that defines Ole as a worthy United manager and sets us up for an even more impactful summer window with the appeal of Champions League football.
The ball is in Woodward and Glazers' court to strengthen now. Will they give us excuses again and leave Ole hanging or will they throw money as they really should. Have they even been proactive in the preceeding months lining up targets like our rivals have?
As a United fan I think you're entitled to think Ole should stay or go. But the hammer is long overdue in judging Ed who gets pass after pass. This window has to be the last or penultimate straw for him.
I would personally trust David Ornstein over Goal.com on this matter. If we were interested (Ornstein says we weren't) then the players release clause would be revealed by the players reps. The Express and Goal.com seem to be stirring up controversy and we shouldn't fall for it.
That’s just utter bollocks. And very vindictive. Things seem to be going better at United, so they’ve fabricated a story to get clicks.
