True. The fact that the Glazers haven't stood in the way of these changes suggests that they realise (or have been successfully persuaded by Arnold) that change would be to their advantage.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
And people keep dumping on Rangnick. The guy has done an incredible service to this club by holding it accountable for years of gross negligence and incompetence.
The very same.
Also the same twat who had a meeting with (rumoured to be) Meunier and his agent. He didn't know anything about him, asked him his name and the number of appearances he had made. The agent promptly ended the meeting.
Ownership has always supported the team with money. They have given the money. These incompetent people spent it on dross.
I haven’t heard a single good thing about his work.
It isn't odd at all. For the press, the best United news is the bad news.
Judge Dedd
Media make it out like this is dramatic for us in a negative way, but by all accounts this seems like a step in the right direction.
Whitwell is usually reasonable though.
*sanctioned the spending. They have given nothing.
Good riddance. Key piece of the failed Woodward regime.
If you don’t open negotiations with “how much do you want?”, it’ll be a step up.
Didn't Mkhitaryan and Zlatan share an agent with Pogba? If so, there's your explanation for those two. Three for the price of one; absolute bargain.
I rather think you're overestimating the part Judge played in all of the bolded, but that won't stop me celebrating his departure.
I dunno; he seems to have become a lot more negative recently.
He’s a United fan. Haven’t we all
It's hard to say if any of these moves behind the scenes are good or bad. We literally have no idea if any of these people are good or bad or were held back by others or whatever else.
A thing that is notable is that Judge was in charge of transfer negotiations and contracts since 2014... Not a great period. But we don't know if he made the decisions to go forward with things or stop, etc, or was just instructed to handle financial discussions without being the decision maker. It's a very important difference.
Anyway, time will tell if all these changes are for the better. Internally they can tell what changes are needed better than us from the outside obviously.

Well done Ralf!
Good video summing up Judge last summer.
Someone focused just on football negotiations and not having it as an after thought to the commercial stuff will be key.
Potentially good news for everyone who wants Paul Mitchell in the club.
Why was Head of Corporate Development negotiating players transfers? Doesn't he have other important stuff to do?
Good.feck off.
Ownership must surely also be supporting these changes, otherwise they wouldn't be letting them happen. Presumably Arnold has their trust.
Good point, Richard Arnold certainly looks like a man with a laser like focus on all the foods of the world, spicy or not.I thought Arnold did most of that anyway?
Isn't he divesting himself of the football stuff because he's prepared to admit he'd be crap at it (unlike Woodward, who seemed to think he wasn't) and so he can concentrate on the spicy wontons
Oh no!
Anyway..
Anyway..
I haven't! I'm old enough to have lived through The Doc's revolution. Painful, but obviously needed and ended up okHe’s a United fan. Haven’t we all
may as well just announce everyone who has been at the club post fergie to say 2021 is fired. full cleanout.
Liverpool owners are not any different with Glazer but they have the right people running the football club while we had whoever our chief scouts used to be, Judge and Ed.

Should we ask James to ask his source to ask Phil Mitchell to ask AS Monaco if he can come and work for us?
Well, good.
Oh? Is Arnold also leaving? I didn't know that. Cause Van der Sar has nothing to do with the football side of Ajax, he's their CEO.
(Also, why do so many people write 'Saar' and 'Haag'? Autocorrect?)
I’m not really buying the Mitchell stuff. He won’t be coming in as a deputy footballing director.
Van Gaal probably had something to do with it.
Played as big a role as Woodward in the last 9 years of failure and mismanagement, good riddance. I feel a small twinge of hope but I won't be fully optimistic until I see who his replacement is.
Brilliant news
Incredible how many people in the know we have on this thread.
Were there any reports suggesting that he was incompetent at his job or is he just getting it because our club structures completely failed as a whole?
Cmon reds drive the parasites out of our club! Incompetence at its finest.
