Castles laid into Joel/Woody/Judge accusing them of forcing Ferguson out and cocking up your transfer business since.I doubt too many people are going to listen to the Transfer Masturbators Podcast to hear the latest about the DOF. What’s the gist?

Manchester United are revisiting long-standing plans to appoint a director of football on the orders of owner Joel Glazer.
United have run numerous recruitment processes to bring in a transfer guru over the last few years and held several interviews without identifying the right candidate to work with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and the club's main negotiator Matt Judge.
Glazer, is demanding an overhaul of recruitment, with United having little recent silverware to show for a net transfer spend of £1billion over the last decade, and wants a new structure in place by the end of the season.
I've heard hints at this a few times. Are there any more details? Is there any truth to it?Castles laid into Joel/Woody/Judge accusing them of forcing Ferguson out and cocking up your transfer business since.
A DoF would just be a fall guy for poor decisions in future while they’d take credit for good ones. No top DoF would touch the United job under those terms according to Dunky.
His wife's sister dying was the reason he decided to retire. The Glazers have made many stupid mistakes in the last decade, but even they're not stupid enough to have ever wanted rid of SAF.I've heard hints at this a few times. Are there any more details? Is there any truth to it?
seeing as it involved Rio and Fletcher id take all this with a large pinch of saltUnited have run numerous recruitment processes to bring in a transfer guru over the last few years and held several interviews without identifying the right candidate to work with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and the club's main negotiator Matt Judge.
I don’t think the presenters were saying that Ferguson was forced out as Manager by Joel and Woodward but that they were wary that SAF would want to be pulling the strings behind the scenes.His wife's sister dying was the reason he decided to retire.

That alone should stop people from ever listening to him.Castles laid into Joel/Woody/Judge accusing them of forcing Ferguson out and cocking up your transfer business since.
Woodward is CEO and Judge is the chief negotiator. We don’t currently have anyone the DOF role.Who in Man United is he asking? Woodward and Judge are the DoF so surely he's not asking them. BS article
There was an article a while back from Luckhurst who claimed our DoF was Woodward and he (Woodward) liked that responsibility, infact I'm sure he said he wasn't for giving it up either.Woodward is CEO and Judge is the chief negotiator. We don’t currently have anyone the DOF role.
Presumably he will be instructing Woodward as I believe it will fall under his responsibility.
Evra said Woodward called himself DOF in an arguement they hadThere was an article a while back from Luckhurst who claimed our DoF was Woodward and he (Woodward) liked that responsibility, infact I'm sure he said he wasn't for giving it up either.
I don't believe these DoF articles anyhow, if the Glazers are having an overhaul of recruitment, then Woodward and Judge will have to leave for a DoF to have full responsibility of their role.
Oh, I see.I don’t think the presenters were saying that Ferguson was forced out as Manager by Joel and Woodward but that they were wary that SAF would want to be pulling the strings behind the scenes.
That is what they were trying to avoid.
Castles you mean? Could the article have some truth in it?He's been down beat about United appointing a DoF for sometime now but has recently changed his tune.
Yes, Castles. I think his piece makes sense and I've provided a brief summary in my previous post. Unless people think the Glazer's are complete morons then I believe the penny will have dropped by now.Castles you mean? Could the true have some truth in it?
Would actually make sense. Can't believe we haven't done it yet after blowing 130m on 2 average defenders. That should have raised their eyebrows.Castles is saying that it's the Glazer's who are pushing for the appointment after United's ineffeciency in both player recruitment and player retention processes. The Glazers want the new man in charge before the summer transfer window opens.
And the endless contract renewals for the deadwoods...Would actually make sense. Can't believe we haven't done it yet after blowing 130m on 2 average defenders. That should have raised their eyebrows.
Why?Marc Overmars can feck right off.
Yeah I was wondering what was the issue with him as well. Yes I know he played for the gooners but that was a long time ago.Why?
If they're not they should be.Castles is saying that it's the Glazer's who are pushing for the appointment after United's ineffeciency in both player recruitment and player retention processes. The Glazers want the new man in charge before the summer transfer window opens.
