Matt Judge or Richard Arnold, would be my best guess. Maybe Glazers will go for a more fan-friendly option like VDS, after the ESL fiasco.

In all honesty, it does not matter that much. I think it is time for Glazers to leave and till then, the CEO will be under heavy constraints on what they can do.

Right then, Who fancies a proper game of FIFA ultimate team?

Whoever is willing to buy every player Ole wants without us going bankrupt wins. The job in a nutshell.

We can wish for a passionate ex player all we want. At the end of the day, given the nature of the role, it needs to be someone who knows how to run a football club. Evra, however passionate he is, would not have a clue with the business side of things.

Van der Sar would be perfect. Of course, he’d never work under the Glazers.

I have no idea who comes instead of Woody, but I highly doubt it’ll be someone who we will be enthralled about.

I’m guessing a big hitter from the States, media background. I initially thought someone like Bob Iger

Not getting my hopes up that it will be something who knows a thing or two about football

It's almost certainly going to be Matt Judge as he's next in line.

The bigger worry for me is who buys the club if Glazer's sell up...

Some random ex. Big 4 accountant.

It won't be a football person, don't be daft, your talking about someone running a mult-billion $$$ commercial business.

Get David Gill back to sort out this shit show, he was the only one that had some kind of grip on the Glazers.
:houllier:

Gill is as much to blame for the Glazers as anybody else.

I dread to think who replaces Woodward, to be honest. Nobody good, put it that way.

I agree, after all that happened, I wonder how anyone can see Gill as a good guy anymore

With Woodward now only being responsible for the commercial side, I'm not sure if we'd sign VDS.

I'd love VDS, mind. But just don't think he'd be the preferred choice
