and many of those people say "it was nothing to do with him, he's the chief exec," when deals get f@cked up
Ed Woodward | Groundhog Day Edition
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Talk about a case in point. That he was the 'main point of contact' isn't in dispute. It's immaterial to the point being made - which was that being 'the main point of contact' does not necessarily mean that the person was involved in the negotiations and that the PR team likely has/had no trouble using the average fan's ignorance of this fact to their advantage, so to speak - hence 'credible journalists have said it' doesn't even belong in the conversation.
The sooner he feck off the better.
So...it turns out his very last transfer window is one for the ages.
Statue or stand named after him, which does he want first?
To be fair Rio has released a vid about Cristiano, in which he is singing Woodies praises. Maybe he was the good guy all along……
Are harems legal in the UK?
Ffs he's only just got the hang of itSo...it turns out his very last transfer window is one for the ages.
Give him both
He’s good as in a marketing genius and a muppet in the transfer market but some of his decisions have been baffling and I’m glad he’s gone
Hail Woodward!
He should stay.
Is it too late to convince him to stay?
Yeah. No one is perfect. We spent less than Arsenal and look at the difference
He hasn't gone yet and was key in this window. He has redeemed himself
I'm loving that Ronaldo is coming home, but Woodward making a flashy late signing without addressing the gaping hole in the midfield is classic Woodward.
No money for any more players we were told. But Ronaldo can be signed in 24 hrs
There has to be a player available who we want.
Ronaldo’s transfer fee is minuscule and will be paid over 5 years. Any of our preferred CM targets are likely to cost a fortune and/or not available currently and I suspect Ole wants to be part of the Haaland sweepstakes which will take extraordinary amounts of money to pull off.
It will be paid in 5 hours after launching the 7 shirt for sale
Best window we’ve had in years. Did anyone really think we’d get a whole new squad. Yes a midfielder would be the cream on top, but let’s remember we are a business, like every other football club the pandemic has hit us.
Can't compare Ronaldo transfer to other possible transfers. Ronaldo brings a huge commercial opportunity/revenue with him, meaning they probably found it very easy to sanction that deal as it wasn't only with a view on the sporting side.

People have unrealistic expectations. We badly needed a Right hand side, top CF, top CB and another midfielder and we have addressed 3 of them in one window. That's exceptional.
