This man is the very definition of failing upwards over the last decade.

There was absolutely no guarantee that amad would turn good. 19m was big money at the time especially in the serie and for a kid.But then, Amad could very well become a 70mil+ player, Hojlund sold maybe for 20mil+, so it'd would make it 50/50. Like a swap deal with neither club paying any money on top.

Never really bothered learning much about him but I can't imagine any director of football has ever made the number of terrible signings in such a condensed period of time.
Made Woodward look like a transfer guru.
Doubt he had much to do with it. Which was the problem.
It sounds like he's being employed to a similar previous role he was doing that got him good reviews at various employers before being the DoF at Man Utd. So that's probably why.How anyone thinking about employing that smug faced fraud has obviously not not the chaos he left behind at OT

Him and Arnold did a horrible job even without knowing what our financial position is now. But knowing that today, how and why did they signed off on so many transfers for such a big money (fee + wages). I just can't understand it considering they were the ones who were suppose to be in charge of our long term stability. Sancho, Ronaldo, Antony, Casemiro, Mount, such a fee on Hojlund, etc, when we were already approaching financial problems. Wish they could explain their thought process one day.

Yeah, it is quite something. Not sure you could call anyone a success on that list. Johnny Evans perhaps (Varane was ok as well while he was healthy, but his wages were massive and we let him go for free).
