The point I believe he's trying to make is, that we want the club to be self sufficient. Comply with FFP rules and still be able to blow all other clubs out of the water when it comes to finances. So if any particular owner leaves, we're not reliant on them for their finances. Basically, what we were before the Glazer's took over us.
This.
Huh...Why allow an asset to depreciate in value prior to selling it. Damn it Kevin.
Wait for it. Wait for it...I think I can hear the Glazer apologist tapping away...
Avram Glazer's hairstyle is seriously disturbing. What the flippin heck is that?
I still remember the mocking of the green/gold scarves and MUST. Chickens are not just home to roost; they're squatting and tearing the floorboards and fireplaces out.
Yea. Glazer's survived that somewhat, as we were still winning. Now? I don't know how they can be defended. Really will be a joyous day when they leave.
d it si goin
The Glazer's are rewarding Woody for bringing in an unimaginable amount of income, not for his footballing knowledge. We need to make changes right now, not next week, not next month but right now. It is a total joke that we have not been able to identify and appoint a technical director/director of football since this rumor started nearly 2 years ago. This just shows Woody is not willing to let go so easily. Seen this picture played out in the '70s and trust me you don't want a repeat show. This is going to get worse, much worse.
I can promise you nobody was saying we needed a Director of Football in the 70's
Different times, different strokes mate. We need someone making footballing decisions. No one mentioned we needed a DOF as recently as Fergie and Gill.
I do hold some hope just based on the valuation of the club. If they are not willing to truly invest in the team and they see some inevitable financial reaction from the poor results then they might be open to listening to a massive offer (which the club would easily attract).
Think we're going more for a committee and rightly so, a Director of Football might create more problems than it solves.
Is that even possible?!
Well, we can agree that we need people who can make footballing decisions to be in charge.
Its a sad state. As long as they get a steady flow of cash they are not going anywhere. It will have to get even worse before they sell. And they are ruining the fanbase.
Neville is a coward. Carragher of all people has been spot on with his criticisms of Woodward and the Glazers.
And a committee with joint decision makers won’t?
Well yeah it is, if we get the wrong guy in(always a possibility, and no that's not me having a pop at Ed Woodward)he(i'm guessing it will be a he) could do more damage than good in the short and medium term, and if results don't improve once his first raft of signings come in does he get cut some slack because he's only just started, Rome not being built in a day and all, so do the fans continue to blame the Manager and/or the players because let's be honest were in a class of our own in England with the blame game - how long do we give the D.O.F to prove he is the right or wrong choice for the job? Or do we agree in advance that if there's no obvious improvement we sack the Manager, sack the Manager then sack the D.O.F, rinse repeat.
A former Liverpool legend enjoying sticking that knife into his clubs biggest rivals, the world has gone mad!
Possibly but much less likely.
So pointless going over the past. We are in a different era. But that is why we are where we are, because of being stuck in the past!
Having seen the statements by Woodward regarding football people making football decisions and Ole saying that the manager has the final say in his own interview, I fear that Woodward is now using Ole as his shield to avoid making the necessary structural changes and to take the flake for all the bad decisions when they backfire. Woodward and Ole seem to agree on putting the brakes on the DOF or appointing a watered down version of the same, its a complete shambles and if the fans remain deluded seeing Ole as some sort of infallible legend we are going to wake up with our team in the Championship.
They are using us, and pocketing millions. Shameless F*ckers.
I was replying to another post about us being shit in the 70s and your right we are where we are.
Ps, I was agreeing with you.
.My comments were in generalThis is an eye-opening, shocking read. Wow.
MUST are clueless and green and gold was a great idea but failed because it became a cash cow for swag men.
Agree with this and I think that the revenues we could get if we were actually competitive and winning would be immense and overshadow the supposed saving they have made in the last two summers of underinvestment. I'd also imagine that a guy like Ragnik or Luis Campo would do wonders with a net spend of around £150m. I think the task is much easier whilst we still have the money but if continue to underperform the fans will revolt and sponsors might start to get jittery.
The guy was referencing Carragher's comments on Woodward and the Glazers, biggest allies is a much more fitting description...
