What the feck is happening everywhere?!

- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
The most punchable face in football.
Surely he won't be able to show his face at Old Trafford after the fans come back.
I agree with you a little, but he stands for them, and has stood by them. Whether he's sacrificing himself or being pushed or whatever, it doesn't matter, he was still complicit, depsite being an employee technically.
And in all seriousness, he's been universally shite and shirt sponsor logos.
Ed hasn't had an original thought since he left Uni. He's the ultimate yes man.
Yes please
Pepole were upset because were weren't distancing ourselves from the SL quick enough, but we were too busy sacking our useless POS CEO
Well he would have carried out his masters' bidding but clueless as he is about football masters, he didnt gainsay his American paymasters
Sunset here, clear skies. Tranquil. Chelsea Brighton is 5 mins in.
Haaaa what a day! Slime ball masquerading as a man. See ya later you incompetent cnut.
Is it a depressed market at that level though?
People at that level are impacted but we are stills seeing acquisitions worth billions in the tech industry for example right in the middle of the pandemic. Right now it is fair to presume it is not long until matchday revenue returns, restructured Champions League and the teams performance looking more settled (5th, 3rd, 2nd with a young side).
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, cnut!
Have to say I flagged this going wrong for them. Now consider this - Woody was JP Morgan’s man - the Glazer seventh child and guru of “soccer”. Morgan’s rep on the line - big share damage done - invisible pain for rich people. Overplayed their hand. Could mean big boardroom upheaval.
He can't stay until the end of 2021 surely? Finding that hard to celebrate, he has to go now
Please replace him with van der Sar!!
Also, I'm not clued up on this but, could Woodward have helped the Glazers sell being Vice Chairman or Chief Executive?

Holy shit, its finally happening 
Everything is happening everywhere at the same time all over the place.
There's possibly never been a more momentous 24 hours in the history of the sport's governance.
Odd we are hearing word of Woodward going without having given an indication we are pulling out of the Super League abomination
Why would he resign when more cash is on the way?
Will his replacement be worse?

One can only dream....the damage they've done to this club......how much they have stolen from the club?? And Yes i know what "stolen" means
Well this turned out to be positive afterall, didnt it
Well, bye.
Oh my fecking god!
I lied before, this is the biggest win of the season!
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.
What is going on?! Craziest days in football since I've started to follow it
Most definitely. The ESL definitely played a part in this announcement and most likely in Woodward getting sacked. Him leaving basically means that the Glazers are cashing out, too.
What do you expect? Murtough was part of the same staff who kept messing things up throughout the past 7 years. Fletcher on the other hand had like 40 minutes coaching experience under his belt. The snake just paired a well loved but inexperienced person with a specialist in failure and he expected the fans to just trust them
Thank you Lord.
Jelly & ice cream on standby.

The "was set to step down" has to be damage control.. I was leaving anyway.. I swear. feck off you cnut.
This is probably the second greatest day of my life.
1st was Moyes being sacked.

Extremely Shitty Leavers
It would be fecking wonderful if the Glazers' (et al) greed was the downfall of them owning our club.
this news hits exactly when the ESL is crumbling and they are pulling the "that was always the plan" stuff. Riiiiiiiiiight.
He's the fall guy here. Stepped down from his position at UEFA which means United no longer have a voice in a competition he thought we weren't going to be playing in anymore. His position was untenable now we're not backing out of the CL
CEO or not, I would’ve thought the Glazers were the primary driving force behind this, it, it completely stunk of them and Joel was even the ESP VP or whatever. Crazy if this is Woodward falling on his own sword.
Great stuff. ESL falling flat on its arse and Woodward leaving. Delicious. Feck off you cretin and never come back.
Will El Presidente Florentino Perez be going on TV tonight to address these latest developments? Just to build on his appearance yesterday, it would make sense.
Woodward falling on his sword, a Glazer man right to the end. Pathetic attempt to divert attention away from the owners who are actually responsible.
Tech companies operate in a different market. We are about to post record losses. My opinion is if they wish to sell, they will wait for some post covid recovery.
FFS man!
