True. Although I have trouble believing this article, seems like the author just made it up for clicks.
If we had a competent DOF, and Ole was like "I want Sancho and Grealish", he would have been immediately told "Bro you are getting VdB and Chiesa, we dont have funds lel. But we can get it done before the season begins".
And we would have actually moved and got the players, rather than dilly dallying till the deadline day like always. If the manager makes silly demands, you need a DOF to set the record straight right from the off, and get him his players asap. What is happening now is Woody and co(because they are idiots) chase these stupid transfers and waste time, and then make panic buys.
feck man, I'm so sick of the Utd recruitment. I dont care who is to blame, but its rotten to the core. We need to let go of this antiquated Manager-CEO model, and get a DOF asap.
