How long till the sporting director rumors start? Tomorrow evening.
"Man Utd are actively searching for a sporting director, a task hindered by Covid-19" or some other bullshit. Same shit every year

I don't know whether he thinks he's being clever and shrewd over our transfer business or we have no money.

How does he have the gall to show his face in public. On a weekly basis ruins the happiness of millions of supporters with the way he runs the club.

What an off-season from the club to kill any momentum we built up. Desperate. This cnut needs to fecking do something. No fans in there to give him a nice and hostile atmosphere unfortunately.
The worst of it.

He doesn't even get the 90 minutes of bile in his ears which is the minimum he deserves.

We're by far the worst run 'big' club. Can't get anything done.
I think we and arsenal are the worst run clubs. If it were not for Klopp Liverpool would be in same boat. The common theme being American owners who don't give a feck.

It’s horribly embarrassing
A multi million pound football club being run into the ground year by year by the ineptness of these few people. In 7 years we have gone from a team that would always compete for the title to a team that most fans are hoping can compete for 4th.

Fact is that soon it will hurt United financially as well . No young person taking up football outside Manchester wants to be a United fan now . The global brand thing will only last a few years

He makes my blood boil just seeing his face at the games. He has the look of someone who is judging and “not pleased” with what he is seeing when so much of it is down to him. He is smug and seems above actual self criticism or any sort of pragmatism.

You don’t know what you’re doing mate!!! Hire people that do, or you will finish us.

He needs to be held accountable. 7 years of heavy investment and look at the disgrace of a right-hand side first day of the season.

It’s a joke. Got home at 10.30 last night after a whopper of a week. “At least I can relax and watch the game tomorrow”. He is killing us, he really is.

Hopefully that was the kick up the arse he needs to get his chequebook out.

If i were him, i'd even keep my purse tighter. Why would you invest more on manager who couldn't manage to beat Crystal Palace at home?
Seriously. What would you do?

If Liverpool winning the Champs League then the EPL didnt light a fire under Ed, nothing will.
He is like a politician, he just doesnt care about anyone but himself and talks in stupid corporate double speak and does nothing to fix the problems within the club. feck him

You know what stings even more? Haaland scoring 2, Bellingham and Sancho assisting. They could all be playing here, in stead of McTominay, James and an invisible Martial, if we had a more ambitious board.

This defeat is on Ole for his selection and lack of tactics, on the board for the lack of ambition and on the players, for not giving a damn. It's sometimes so hard loving this club. I've been a fan for 30 years now, and I was really hoping we turned a corner when we were on that nice run last season. Since then, we've fallen off a cliff. Depressing stuff.

Good to see the chinless bastard looking worried again. Imagine being this shit at a job but not having to fear anything.

Second time in recent seasons when we're beginning the campaign in disarray and there's frustration with the lack of ambition and cohesion shown by the club as a whole.

How is it fair that Ole should have to shoulder the burden of Woodward's failures as the man tasked with rebuilding the club? We're beginning the season and there's a toxic air without a ball being kicked. That blame lies with Woodward, and our lackluster recruitment.

Now Ole is possibly out of his depth, but this clown Woodward has done nothing in the last 7 years to help the situation. Either bowing to managers and signing mediocre dross that we can't get rid of still, or not backing the managers at all.

People talk about a lack of strategy, identity and cohesion of a club. That should be coming from the top down, and with this guy that couldn't be any further from the truth.

Ole was just a move by the board, because the fans like him and won't turn against him so easily. Whenever we look like going in the right direction, we just completely fail probably because our board are happy just being in the champions league. It could be that they're just seeing it as a risk versus reward thing. Gamble on being able to get top 4 and secure champions league again versus investing to make the squad able to compete for titles and option 1 may be what they are choosing.

The way we're run, Manchester United hasn't been about football for a very long time. It's just a company with the main purpose of making the shareholders richer.

If he gets another record shirt sponsorship deal then the Glazers will be delighted with him. Nothing more than a puppet whose number one priority is to make money rather than win titles.

I wonder how much more we are going to get fleeced now that this performance will create mass hysteria around the club for the week.

The further down he drags us, the harder it will be for him to sell a brand that used to sell itself. I'll be amazed if our next kit deal and kit sponsorship deal is as lucrative as our current ones.

It is indeed Groundhog Day. How is that little fraud still in post? He is neck deep in this mess, the ****.

Where is the centre back we are crying out for? Where is the winger we desperately need? New contracts for wasters. He's a clown.

This. Liverpool in the 2000's were relative financial peasants even with more league titles and CL's. There is only so long you can flog past successes, a new generation of kids are coming through who haven't seen us win a PL or CL and don't register us as one of the select elite, the same people (or atleast - the parents) that Adidas want to flog their goods to.

Sancho is as much a Manchester United player as anybody who has ever been. Young, attacker, English, future superstar. You dont need to back the manager to see we should be buying him regardless.

I know for a fact that we are struggling to get a new kit sponsor at the valuation we want.

Anyone expecting the annual reports about the search for a new DOF to start appearing again soon ? It has been a continuous cycle with Eddie.
