If we had been in for Ndombele he would be playing in a red shirt today. We obviously were not, I dont know how that has to do with Matt Judge´s (if we are going to be correct) negotiation skills.
Matt Judge handles the contract negotiations and Richard Arnold is the commercial director. Woodward does neither.
Woodward negotiates the contract between the clubs, Judge signs them off.
You got that completely backwards.
Nothing did ever happen to improve this club. Really shocking and unprofessional. On top, they take a lot of money out of this club, so the main purpose is not to win titles but to fill their pockets. Crazy that there is not more prominent activity against them
Do you actually work inside the club, as you seem to know everything that goes on. You TELL everyone all the goings on in the club and seem to love the Glazers. You sure your not related.
Your too kind to him. How can one be so incompetent, it is actually a joke.
I agree with this in general.
I dont care about the Glazers or Woodward tbf. Their roles are so overexaggerated in threads like this. As long as they are operating the club with the same amount of money that the other major clubs are doing or more I am fine with them. Which they are.
Are you actually implying that OGS and his team are in charge of transfers? Have you not heard Ole in his pres conferences saying we are working on a couple of transfers? Clearly that shows he wants players in but the people above him Wooward are not delivering. Just because Ole isn't throwing them under the bus.
Yes, YOU would probably lose some money.
What do you mean by "in charge"?
I have no idea what that even means. But like every other name calling in this thread I really appreciate it. It means that you cant even make an argument to begin with.
Well you did brag about being a shareholder in another post.
Who gives a feck? They answer to him.
Nah, we'd have walked away because we'd have been scared off by Lyon's initial valuation. How can they sign a better midfielder than we are targeting for a better price than we are negotiating to? Woodward's cronies can't start using valuations as an excuse, he should have known all this before the summer. Are we just never going to sign players until the selling club is giving them away? I don't see what the endgame is for us if transfer fees are suddenly such a big obstacle.
I did not brag about anything.
So why doesn't Woodward sack them? They're clearly not doing a good job.
I wanted Ndombele too. I think he would have been a great addition. That is not what I said at all if you had bothered to read my post. IMO if OGS had wanted Ndombele he would have been a United player by now. We can double any wage offer that Spurs would make. We clearly were not in for him as much as I disagree with that.
Well, Arnold is doing pretty amazing at what he does so he is staying.
I think you're missing my point and Ndombele is just an example.
Ok, you just carry on defending Glazers, but let anyone that don't, have their own opinion. So don't try and change our minds. Good luck, enjoy your pint.
I dont know of course - its just my feeling that given who was available at the time, we would still have hired Van Gaal and Mourinho. Not much would have been different.
At the end of the day what we have lies at the feet of the idiots that manage and own the club. The Glazers are taking Man Utd down the same path as the Tampa Bay NFL Team they own, in the 13 years they have been in control that team has finished bottom of a fairly weak conference 9 times and won it once.
Im sorry, but I refuse to accept that we would lose out to fecking Spurs because of price/wages. That makes like literally no sense. What makes sense is that he was not a priority (again, disagree on that decision). And we already have the biggest wage bill in the PL, can we really complain about anything else than how that money is being spent?
I think we all know the answer to this? Otherwise we would have been ruthless. Real Madrid had one terrible season and realised things need changing and bought what they think they need and rightly or wrongly have said Bale you dont fit in our style.
Ok that is a fair point which I 100% respect.
To compare the NFL to European "soccer" is stupid. The Cowboys is the worlds most valuable sports franchise and the Glazers have one Superbowl over on them. Its just not a relevant comparison.
And yet woodward has not gone on the tour, so that he can over see the transfer situation.
It wouldn’t make a bit of difference as it’s just a different person reporting to Woodward. We either don’t have the money to spend or he’s outright useless. It’s likely a bit of both.
Did you just quote the Sun as a fact?
Doesn't matter what the alternative is, why should the club accept the owners to be so incompetent, and their willingness to not understand what a poor job their favoured employee is doing. The basic reason I spoke about the Tampa Bay side is that encompasses their lack of feeling and compassion for sports, until the golden egg dries up we can expect the spiral that could well take the clubs performance and results below West Ham/Everton/Wolves etc to continue.
I thought Id give your method of posting a try and just present all my opinions as unequivocal facts
.This is exactly what happened at Arsenal, most Arsenal fans are know they wont challenge and cannot do anything about it.
