By strange destiny you become the owner of United. What would you do?

Sack everyone. Have some of the legends stuffed and turn OT into a museum.

Ed can be caretaker.

Brilliant. Thank you for this thread.

We United fans have simple needs - firing Woodward and having a wank is all we really want.

Honestly, the possibilities are endless. An entirely new squad? Various players spring to mind. Essentially, you’re where City were 10 years ago.

A signing like Robinho, even if he turns out to be useless, is a must.

World beaters have to be brought in ASAP to show that this is United, not just another plastic project. Anyone who resents the idea of such a drastic overhaul isn’t living with the reality of today’s game. Nobody can deny they’d love to see us go after the very best. Knowing some United fans, though, they’d find any reason to complain.
Mate, is that large font for the first letter of each sentence intentional, or some feature of your keyboard/ computer. I'm very intrigued.

It sometimes happens if you can't find a way to underline the first letters in sentences using the normal text editor.

The board room needs a severe shake up, so probably start to cull the board and remodel it. Someone like Van Der Sar at the top.
Hire a competent DoF with a clear vision of how the team should be playing
Invest heavily into the scouting department
Invest in Old Trafford, improve facilities and plan for expansion within 3 years
Implement safe standing
Buy more land around Old Trafford and build a small stadium for the U23/18s & Womens team to play at instead of playing miles away
Work with the local council to work on ways to improve access to Old Trafford and reduce congestion
Reduce ticket prices across the board
Work to reduce away ticket prices for fans with PL, or find a way to subsidize ticket costs and help travel arrangements for fans
Try and work with fan groups to help improve the match going experience

Sack Woodward
Sack Solskjaer and his backroom staff
Make Gary Neville DOF
Hire Klopp as manager
Sell the entire first team squad
Replace them with players from the Championship, League 1 and 2 with emphasis on youth and players with a point to prove
Coach the living daylights out of them
Pay them a good basic salary but with add ons for winning games, staying free of injuries, goals scored and clean sheets kept
Massive bonuses paid for winning trophies
Ban all social media, own clothing lines, silly haircuts and handshakes
:devil:

I'd hire really good people to run the football side.

Woodward would be demoted to clean the toilets in the megastore. If he walks out within 6 months he has to pay back all his bonuses over the last 7 years.

I'd then buy some slant drilling machinery and buy the land next to the Glazer's house. In totally unrelated news the Glazers house begins to show signs of being undermined and the foundations in danger of collapse.

I'd then take the profits from our successful champions league run and buy the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and play Ashley Young as quarterback for 10 straight years.

Find and hire a competent manager (or take a punt with Ole) and wish the players good luck dumping him out.

Across the Universe....from Old Trafford.
Immediately give the Season Ticket Holders a say in running the club. Give the representatives seats at the board.
Set up a scheme to take ownership by allocating a share of all sales to buy the club so that eventually the supporters own the club completely.
Hire the best Football consultants about restructuring the hiring of managers and staff and players with obvious inputs by the Supporters representatives.

Eventually the club will be fully owned by the Supporters.

There can be no complaints then.
