If only his football related “skills” were as good as his PR skills ...
These were my criticisms off him. He inherited a dated football structure that was built by Fergie for Fergie and placed Moyes in it due to his naivety which is understandable considering his inexperience in the role.
I also spoke about the below info years ago about the manager being given too much freedom in the transfer market, and a stop was finally put to it in 2018 when the transfer committe was formed. And some argued with me when I said it wasn't the club scouts but the managers that were being given precedence when it came to recruitment.
Your name is naff. And I disagree with you. Politely.Guys keep it Nice, sure he is a money Guy, is he bad for us, not really should he have found someone who could help him with transfers, he should. Will he be fired if this New league fall, No, he have delivered. The only problem i have is that he have never hired someone to see if transfers make sense, do they match the team and the focus, we have had many stupid transfer with players we should never have gone for or overpaid.
Post of the yearJust imagine after all shit he and the glazer family have done to this club and now even dragging the clubs name into this SL shithole there are still actual human beings defending the lot....
Always talk on the caf in particular on our manager threads about who are real fans and bla bla... Well in this thread it's crystal clear who is and who is not.. Those of you who spent years on here defending them are an embarrassment.
Good points. Also - this in a way is a severing of ties with JP Morgan and the Owners. Woody wanting to get onside with the fans (and potential new owners?) is interesting.Not a great look for Jamie Jackson to print this sort of stuff without questioning it
Ho one is going to believe it because there will be too many other sources happy to contradict eds lies
The youth system rot had begun long before he took up the reigns. I know this because I live 10 minutes away and went down to watch numerous games involving the youth.This sums up what they were saying on one of The Athletic's podcasts. Woodward was learning on the job and made a load of mistakes along the way to the detriment of the club. They even mentioned how under him they didn't invest let the youth system rot but then claims credit for building it back up again in the past couple of years.
Why would they panic? Everyone involved in this decision knew what the set up was and when it was going to be introduced, woodward and agnelli were clearly leading the negotiation from all club's side with uefa.I heard on the radio (I forget which one) some speculation that the owners panicked about the imminent announcement of the new UEFA setup and decided to go prematurely with their own announcement. Thus half-cocked, thus managers (and maybe even Ed) caught off guard. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t part of the planning but maybe not of the execution, if that’s the right word.
Isn't the commercial office for the club in London? I would have expected him to live there all along.Did he recently move to London? Wonder if it's because he knew this was coming.
Must have been so disappointing for Woodward to think Johnson was in favour of the ESL given he was obviously so set against it himself. What a relief it must have been when it all came crashing down (leaving him looking inept), because that was surely what he wanted from the beginning.
He's been a fans forum today, it hasn't gone down well...
What pisses me off about this is where the Super League logo is. Get fecked.He knew everything and reached an agreement for the new shirts
These are the shirts they prepared, new era with the Superleague logo. From 35€, now for sale at 2.29

There is no way that the CEO would not work on this from the beginning. Else what's the point of paying a CEO in the first place? Woodward knew about it. If Woodward wanted to weasel his way out of this then he should have toed in line in terms of 'I had no choice, the owners forced that on us' followed by a letter asking for an immediate resignation. That would have probably ruined his career (no one likes a CEO who throw owners under the bridge) but might have edged things with fan. Woodward's excuse is quite frankly ridiculous.
He has paid his bounty. Let the man go in peace.All is forgiven?
Gotta love how his PR team are so quick to absolve him of all blame when shits comes up and give him credit for everything when things go well.
Yeah but they do it in such an obvious manner that nobody really believes the shit they spout.To be fair that’s literally the job description.
Good work on Sancho. gotta be said

Credible journalists have said it. Last year our contact with Dortmund was through Sancho’s agent and a third party. This year Woodward literally picked up the phone and spoke to the Dortmund chairman to iron our differences. Hence, the conditions of the transfer were being negotiated but the outcome was never in doubt.Because it works on certain people. There are now average fans regurgitating how he was 'the main point of contact' for the Sancho transfer and thinking that equates to 'instrumental' or 'heavily involved' and therefore 'Good job, Ed'.
