Smug Woodward sat in the stands, he should go along with all his buddies.
Did you see him early in the second half with his hands out as if asking “how the f..k are we getting beat at West Ham”Smug Woodward sat in the stands, he should go along with all his buddies.
There’s much more to it than money. But don’t forget the years of under investment under Sir Alex. Their football decision making is dreadful and bizarre. Money men run the club, run it to and for money. It’s why the culture and atmosphere (thanks to their financial model) of top four being the target begins the rot. Sir Alex papered over the cracks with sheer force of will but that’s gone now and the fall from Grace is not a surprise. We are three years of accurate investment in the squad from competing again, basically a decade to recover. The great man was worth a billion pounds to Manchester UnitedI love how we create our own boogeyman to justify why we’re terrible. Here’s the reality. Our supposed parasite owners have given every manager we’ve had hundreds of millions to spend on the squad. Our rivals except for City have spent nowhere near what we have yet here we are.
The Woodward arguments also make me laugh. He’s a Glazer stooge that goes into business for himself and signs players like Sanchez without the managers approval because I mean a proper stooge for those greedy glazers would spend as little as possible you’d think right? I don’t remember anyone having a go at David Gill for failing to close so many deals.
We’re just making up villains anywhere we can. The reality is Ole came with this United Way bullshit and left our squad ridiculously thin and putting us in a position where our youth academy has to produce.
Who hired Ole? Who hired Moyes? Who hired Van Gaal? Who hired Jose? who gave that incompetent bunch 900 million quid to toy around with...now lastly, who has kept the man who's made these terrible decisions in a job?I love how we create our own boogeyman to justify why we’re terrible.

if reports are true this is the part Woodward hasn't seemed willing to give upWoodward can stay. We just need a qualified DOF so Woodward no longer makes football decisions.

And Glazers to finally invest not just in one star playerWoodward can stay. We just need a qualified DOF so Woodward gets quietly moved on.
Have fun in jail.We should run onto the pitch every week at old Trafford all at once and get our games called off. I bet that will make him notice.
I don't wanna play with those kinds of balls.Have fun in jail.
We spent a lot of money badly long before Ole arrived. Regardless of what should have happened, we’re here now and need to get it right with the players we sign next. And so far that has been the case, his signings have been good and he’s got rid of the right players so we shall see. Not panicking just yet but the season is a write-off.I love how we create our own boogeyman to justify why we’re terrible. Here’s the reality.

Then the Glazers have to rein on him and put limitations on him. We have to be the only club to have spent so much over a 6 year period and not launched even one serious challenge for major honors. It cost us £130m just to improve the defense with two players, one a fullback who can't attack and another a slow CB. I'd like to think that this could have been done at less cost if we didn't confine ourselves to PL proven talent.if reports are true this is the part Woodward hasn't seemed willing to give up
The Glazers are perfectly happy with Woodward. He makes them money !!!!!Woodward can stay. We just need a qualified DOF so Woodward gets quietly moved on.
We will likely finished behind West Ham, CP, Leicester, and Burnley, along with the usual other five. No team in the current collection of usual top six has played this poorly.I assure you that this is not me, but everything he said, is agreed with 100%.
I'll add that while Woodward is our DoF, we will continue to finish 4th-7th place.
I agree, just saying in a perfect world.The Glazers are perfectly happy with Woodward. He makes them money !!!!!
I’ve tried on multiple occasions. Some United fans were arrested in the summer of 2005, others were assaulted by fellow reds because they suggested a boycott.I didnt suggest Green and Gold, but a similar campaign to raise awareness. I dont think Green and Gold was pointless neither. Is your suggestion to do nothing and be grumpy in your armchair? Join in, in a constructive way please..
Must be a strange feelingThey’ve won.
Meh, sounds like you've just gone into a deep depression. Don't see why us losing a battle 9-14 years ago, should make us give up, moan forever and do nothing in the futureI’ve tried on multiple occasions. Some United fans were arrested in the summer of 2005, others were assaulted by fellow reds because they suggested a boycott.
Green and gold in 2010 raised awareness of the issues but didn’t achieve much more.
It’s 14 years too late. They’ve won.
In what world is a club they bought at the top end of Europe being midtable makes them more money? Woodward has bled the coffers dry for transfers, now he has less TV money with no champions league, the sponsorship income will go down as well and the gate receipts take a hit when half the stadium is empty for a Thursday evening Europa league game.The Glazers are perfectly happy with Woodward. He makes them money !!!!!
He has none, he would have walked already or hired a DOF if he didWe need to do whatever it takes to get Ed out.
If he has any dignity, he would walk.
Ole is part of the problem but the only constants in our downward trajectory are the owners and Ed. They're the ones ruining the club, not whichever manager gets the poisoned chalice.the various "ole is shit" threads here. I suppose it would be worse on twitter but I don't know, I don't use it.
Agree with your post. I don't think it's Ole.So if Ole is the problem our last four managers have been failures compared to expectations. What do you do to a guy that hires four failures on the trot? You fecking fire the clown.
Or Ole isn't a failure. He just hasn't been given the necessary means to properly do his job. In that case, what do you do to the guy in charge of providing those means? You fecking fire the clown.
I've been convinced that Woodward is the main thing holding us back for years now. I doubt he'll ever prove me wrong. Worst thing that's happened to this club in the last 50 years. I hate the cnut.
I would take Bernard Arnhault if there is any truth in him wanting to buy a football club. He is worth $97.8B.The fans are as much to blame as the owners/CEO.
There’s no organisation, there’s a lot of infighting etc.
Before any future protests, there needs to be some kind of IMUSA type organisation relaunched. Get regular meetings going...
There then needs to be a simple question answered. Yes, you want the Glazers out but who do you want instead?
Can he buy us, though? Even the Arabs got priced out by the Glazers according to rumours.I would take Bernard Arnhault if there is any truth in him wanting to buy a football club. He is worth $97.8B.
