What the feck is happening everywhere?!
The most punchable face in football.
I agree with you a little, but he stands for them, and has stood by them. Whether he's sacrificing himself or being pushed or whatever, it doesn't matter, he was still complicit, depsite being an employee technically.Madness. Why is he leaving? Surely the Super League is something the Glazers were pushing for, rather than Woodward?
Ed hasn't had an original thought since he left Uni. He's the ultimate yes man.Do we believe that Woodward was behind this or is it the Glazers who are determined to go through with the ESL at any cost?
Yes pleaseThis will be to facilitate a sale and complete a handover
Pepole were upset because were weren't distancing ourselves from the SL quick enough, but we were too busy sacking our useless POS CEOSo United come out better off than before, well done you.
Well he would have carried out his masters' bidding but clueless as he is about football masters, he didnt gainsay his American paymastersCould Ed have pushed for the Super League (seeing it as a way of making £££'s) now it's all blown up in everyone's face, he sees the potential hit to sponsorship due to reputation loss, so has no option but to walk?
Sunset here, clear skies. Tranquil. Chelsea Brighton is 5 mins in.What the feck is happening everywhere?!
Is it a depressed market at that level though?We are still a way before they sell. They aren't selling the club in this depressed market. I think we are at least a year out from a sale if it happens.
Will the failure of the ESL hasten their plans, it probably will but not any time soon.
Have to say I flagged this going wrong for them. Now consider this - Woody was JP Morgan’s man - the Glazer seventh child and guru of “soccer”. Morgan’s rep on the line - big share damage done - invisible pain for rich people. Overplayed their hand. Could mean big boardroom upheaval.Could Ed have pushed for the Super League (seeing it as a way of making £££'s) now it's all blown up in everyone's face, he sees the potential hit to sponsorship due to reputation loss, so has no option but to walk?
Everything is happening everywhere at the same time all over the place.What the feck is happening everywhere?!
Oh my fecking god!
I lied before, this is the biggest win of the season!
I just hope he isn't being used as a scapegoat and this is a sign of the ends for the glazer ownership!
Congratu-fecking-lations to every United fan around the world.
Most definitely. The ESL definitely played a part in this announcement and most likely in Woodward getting sacked. Him leaving basically means that the Glazers are cashing out, too.Pretty sure even if it was the ESL they won't say it. Not everything can be said to the media, they need to cover things up regardless. I'm not saying that it must be due to ESL debacle but if it was due to it, they wouldn't have said.
What do you expect? Murtough was part of the same staff who kept messing things up throughout the past 7 years. Fletcher on the other hand had like 40 minutes coaching experience under his belt. The snake just paired a well loved but inexperienced person with a specialist in failure and he expected the fans to just trust themMurtough/Fletch got ripped to shreds. Giving it to Nev would cause uproar here.
Extremely Shitty LeaversI'm starting to like the ESL now
they are selling the club?
The Glazers wouldn't be the ones to do the negotiations.
CEO or not, I would’ve thought the Glazers were the primary driving force behind this, it, it completely stunk of them and Joel was even the ESP VP or whatever. Crazy if this is Woodward falling on his own sword.He's the CEO. Business strategising is down to him.
The Glazers obviously sign off any major decisions. But they're not responsible for the dirty work.
Tech companies operate in a different market. We are about to post record losses. My opinion is if they wish to sell, they will wait for some post covid recovery.Is it a depressed market at that level though?
People at that level are impacted but we are stills seeing acquisitions worth billions in the tech industry for example right in the middle of the pandemic. Right now it is fair to presume it is not long until matchday revenue returns, restructured Champions League and the teams performance looking more settled (5th, 3rd, 2nd with a young side).
FFS man!Not in a title race.
