this worries me. Maybe its just a ploy. Once things calm down then the club would release a statement that they have changed their mind
Ahhhhhhh the old ' when the going gets tough say we are after a director of football' ploy. It all screams of smokescreen

This better true!! I wouldn’t be able to handle the disappointment if this isn’t true.
It has to be true now that its confirmed he was going to leave at the end of the season anyways. His position has become untenable, this is the best face saving move from the Glazers.

Everything continues as normal. Would put my hat on an internal appointment.

Nothing big is happening. The Glazers are here to stay.
You are a purely financially motivated businessman, your asset has reached peak value or pretty close. You try a drastic measure to increase that significantly and it gets widely condemned to the point that the country it operates in turns against you and "AdisaOut" begins trending on social media. Do you really not even consider that it might be a good time to sell at billions profit when it is unlikely to gain much more value?

Need to know more. Did he resign because he doesn't agree with the ESL or because he is the fall guy for our owners to save face?

Everyone giving the Glazers shit, but if they were really leeching cash from the club, you'd think that at least one of them would have sorted their fecking hair out.
All they care about is money and power and being ugly. Brought to courtesy of a rap lyric by Joyner Lucas.

Crazy few days, who will replace him? Is anyone currently at the club an option for CEO?

Could Ed have pushed for the Super League (seeing it as a way of making £££'s) now it's all blown up in everyone's face, he sees the potential hit to sponsorship due to reputation loss, so has no option but to walk?

Woodward was apparently going to announce his resignation in the summer anyways. The SL just sped the whole process up.

Imagine if he was the good guy all along, shielding us from the Glazers trying to asset strip us.

Reportedly Woody was leaving anyway, so they've brought forward this resignation to give us all something to celebrate while our owners fade back into the background.

Genuinely the best football news I’ve heard in years!
Has he resigned because he was in favour of the super league which now seems unlikely to happen or resigned in protest against the super league?

Oh my fecking god!

I lied before, this is the biggest win of the season! :lol:

I just hope he isn't being used as a scapegoat and this is a sign of the ends for the glazer ownership!

Congratu-fecking-lations to every United fan around the world.
