Anyone know what time the investor call is?

It would be suitable if his contract was coming to an end. But we are SACKING him. It's not really something he'd want to have a song and dance about, really - when you consider his character.
But really, the 'send off' would be better if Van Gaal was willing to come out and say it's been mutual decision for him to retire early, and that 'his job here is done', etc. But I can't see it happening anymore.
We'll win the cup, and he will wave goodbye then
The call is at 1pm. The third quarter results are released at 12pm. They won't be announcing anything to do with managerial changes during the call and nor will they answer any questions regarding managerial changes.
Trust our fax machine to be the Howard Nurse of office machinery.
He does appear to be smugly calm doesn't he. I hope you are right because I am still not wholly convinced.
Have you read the call pre-read? I would have thought investors esp. institutional investors can ask about the fundamentals of the business, that is performance of the first team. Managerial change certain impacts upon the results of the business. Remember when they were trying to list the prospectus had warnings about Fergie retiring and possible negative impact on the business.
What's with the title?
Yep I've read it. It's quite brief and not very informative at all. I've listened to every quarterly call in the last few years but they rarely if ever give out specific answers regarding management or transfers. This call won't be any different.
I'm having to use Google translate to understand these thread title changes. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered it means "something that sounds Italian"
Yeah I suspect you are right. These calls get reported and are never very interesting. We will be once again making money hand over fist and nothing really meaty.
We are being toyed with. Can't stand much more of this. Please Jose and Ed sort it out!
Woodward could not answer those questions even if he wanted to. Any and all questions regarding managerial appointments will be batted away.
Just noticed the thread title's changed 3 or 4 times in the last couple of hours
I don't think that's right because it goes to the core of the business but of course, in practical terms, you are right and they will be dismissed. I'd just like to see someone ask.
Just like your opinions.Just noticed the thread title's changed 3 or 4 times in the last couple of hours
Wrong thread mate. That's for the Rooney one.
LVG won't be sacked before the final league game. That's certain. After the game, when it is confirmed that we are finishing 5th,6th or 7th, everyone will know, including him that FA Cup is his final game. He will be given a chance to resign or be sacked. He would resign so that he doesn't have to face a humiliating exit from football. He would still be given the severence package of a sacked manager. Then we will interview Mou, Poch, etc. And then hire Roberto Martinez as our manager
Not my opinions, haven't said I wanted Jose just that I believe the deal has long been done, there's a difference - although at this moment I would accept the tea lady at Carrington to take over as manager, anyway Jose is the best by far that's available so I hope he will do a good job.
This is what they call Tantric Managerial Appointment.
You appoint the manager very, very slowly. Every time you feel you are at the point of the manager actually putting pen to paper and the deed being done, you pull back. This way yearning on all sides builds and builds and the eventual bond between the club and the manager is strengthened. When eventually we reach climax, with the manager signing his contract, the pent up excitement will result in an explosion of footballing ecstasy. Suddenly everything Woodward has been doing for the last six months will make perfect sense and nobody will ever want us to rush a managerial appointment ever again.

I'm waiting for it to say "Allora ...." - it's the catch-all "now then, let's see, so ....." word here.
And that's how you reveals that you are an edging practitioner.
Jose smug? never
Porto
Chelsea
Madrid
Inter Milan
MUFC (maybe?)
Do you really believe that Everton are in the same category to the clubs listed above?
Not me, Im firmly in the "we want you to be our manager, sign here, thanks, now Im going to take a nap" camp.
Woodward cannot reveal price-sensitive information in an earnings call. Someone can ask, but it would be a waste of time.
Respect yes.
But to be applauded for being a failure...no.
Off topic....but do people still use fax machines?
If so, why?
I'd give him two claps, tops. Both being super passive-aggressive. That's all he gets from me.
Nope, but then they've got the money and are playing in a league which Jose obviously prefers, nothing wrong in trying, surely?
Are the goodbyes usually not done, at the last game at OT?
You think the announcement of retirement would be made at Wembley?
I think he meant before the last league game of the season
Maybe Louis will announce he's parting ways during the press conference like he did at Barca.
The story is not really being picked up frantically as you would normally expect when these sort of things are true. I'm guessing, maybe formally Mourinho will sign the contract, though I would like to see how we fare if we announce it before the FA Cup final/Bournemouth game.
I'm not so sure if hirning and firing of managers can be viewed as PSI. In other words, I don't think if they decide to hire Jose or fire VG they need to disclose to the SEC first. Perhaps I'm wrong on this.
How often has it been said that Mourinho will be announced it two weeks or two days etc. unless its officially released by either Mourinho or United I don´t believe a word.
Im not sure either but I agree I would be surprised if they had to disclose this to the SEC.
'I shall be resigning after the FA cup title. You, fat man, are you happy?'
