Is this normal for club to make that much of an issue when football people wants a move? They are serious considering to pay someone for 12 months gardening? Or is it just journalist bunch of usual crap?
Where's Woodward when you fecking need him!Berrada, Ashworth and now Wilcox all pruning there hedges!
I hope United are getting an official gardening sponsor.
Looks like we're pissing off everyone. I like it.
United are evolving. From 2013-now we've been The Smiths, politely asking people to move out of the way so we can squeeze past, eating lettuce, shit like that. Now we're back to being Ian Brown, tanked up on enough chemicals to kill a horse, barging through people without saying a word, wearing sunglasses indoors, waving our arms about and knocking over peoples' pints. Not giving a single shite who complains. We're Man United, we'll do what we want.
Nothing has changed then.
What about him?What about Fletcher?
He’ll be gone. Loved Dazza but he’s not best in class.
Yeah and important to note that there will be a lot of crossover and a lot of collaboration needed between the two roles.As far as I understand, and I might be very wrong, a director of football oversees the playing department. They help identify transfers (or at some clubs in extreme circumstances may even have complete control over them), they negotiate transfers and player contracts. That kind of thing. They'll meet with scouts, the manager and CEO or owners.
Technical directors do the same for non-playing staff. Identifying changes needed to the scouting department, medical team, data analysis department, nutritionists, in some cases coaches. They'll meet with the chief scout, head physio, lead sports science guys etc as well talking things through with the manager and perhaps the Dof too to implement changes within all these non-playing departments. They're ultimately the boss of most of the non-playing staff.
In some cases you could even have a first team, reserve team and academy technical director all as separate jobs.
So Glazers gave him the title of Technical Director when he’s not a Technical Director!What about him?
No he won’t. He does a completely different job.
Technically, yeah but he was more of a pathways kind of person. So I’d say he was a technical academy director and player liaison kind of role.So Glazers gave him the title of Technical Director when he’s not a Technical Director!
Unfortunately it isnt, 3 months would go to "middle management" in most businesses of a reasonable size. 6 months notice is fairly standard and 12 months for a director is fairly normal where going to a competitor.
Sounds very bitter to me, what a twat.
When we said we wanted to close the gaps in our midfield we didn’t mean plant more hydrangeas.The united garden is going to bloom in the summer
It's just some nobody fan isn't it?
Liverpool looking to appoint him.
Liverpool looking to appoint him and have agreed compensation.
"Hardly any loyalty in football" says the Southampton fan about a guy who's been in the job for 15 months. There is close to zero loyalty in football mate. Has been for a long time. About the only thing you can expect is a youth player not running out their contract to join a direct rival. That's about it. Rest is about the money and minuscule about titles and European football.
So one year of salary is fine for Southampton when it is from Liverpool but not good enough when we do it?Liverpool have agreed a compensation package to pay one year of Wilcox’s salary despite him only joining Saints last summer.
We’re always made to look like the second choice/option. If he rejected them to join us it would be ‘Liverpool pulled out’How are we trying to hijack their bid, when news of our interest broke first?
12 month notice period. Feck me.
He obviously doesn’t think that, he’s doing it to force Southampton’s hand, and if they don’t budge then he’s free to join in 12 months.Love that he thinks he can just resign to get out of it.
If going to a competitor, then anti competitiveness clauses in his contract of employment should cover it.
It's unfair contract terms to insist he can't work elsewhere for 12 months, or must work 12 months notice.
How are we trying to hijack their bid, when news of our interest broke first?
Yeah and that's fair enough. He was offered a contract but left to play more. He didn't leave to join Liverpool or City or something. He left for a different league. He was impatient and annoyed and that was it. I don't have any problem with any player leaving when their contract is up.Pogba went through our youth system and we only received token compensation, if anything, for him. Then we had pay £90M, or whatever, to buy him back.
Football employment is totally fecked up and doesn't follow the normal conventions of employment laws.
He's only been director of football there since the summer. He did a great job leading City's academy for years and is clearly highly rated by Berrada.Can someone tell me what should i feel about this?
Southampton doesn't look like a well run club.
Is he one of the best candidates for this position?
If Berrada knows him, then fair enoughHe's only been director of football there since the summer. He did a great job leading City's academy for years and is clearly highly rated by Berrada.
This is the same Southampton who refused to speak to United about Bale but then sold him to Spurs?!So one year of salary is fine for Southampton when it is from Liverpool but not good enough when we do it?
@fallengt you should be at least 3/4 mast at this news.Can someone tell me what should i feel about this?

They always bend over for Liverpool. Weird club.So one year of salary is fine for Southampton when it is from Liverpool but not good enough when we do it?
