I won't be surprised if he survive in a different role
janitor or an assistant to the canteen ladiesI won't be surprised if he survive in a different role
I was the first to want murtough out. It was evident to me from day 1 that Fletcher and him were merely placeholders in roles, the Glazers created out of pure supporters pressure. Fletcher did his best in his very restricted role whose role pale in comparison to what other technical directors did. Murtough on the other hand held a more senior which meant that his role , if done properly, had to clash with the immense power the CEO was given by the Glazers. There's no way the Glazers would have clipped their favourite dove's wings (ie woodward). Thus by accepting the role (Dofs from the outside refused it) Murtough had shown that he is a company man, the sort of useful idiot the Glazers love and reward. Let us not forget that Woodward is the only non Glazer who was allowed to own Class B shares. Murtough is what the athletic called....his fixerjanitor or an assistant to the canteen ladies
I've blanked most of it out, was that when they went to try to sign Frenkie De Jong?His ‘win or lose we’re on the booze’ lads’ trip to Barcelona with Dickie Arnold will go down as one of the great United grifts.
That would erase a lot of faith I am starting to gain in Radcliff!I won't be surprised if he survive in a different role
The guy was appointed by Woodward, was at the club for several years and a very active participant in a failed regime. Over here everyone deserves a chance. Hope Ratcliffe considers me for the job. Reckon I too deserve a go.Tweet

Murtough madness!
Sounds hilarious until you realise that in 2018 Murtough was not the guy who would have had to make that call.Tweet

Where Erik was reportedly reporting to Arnold, the new regime are most likely using Murtough in his proper role as part of the new structure until the time comes for him to be replaced with Ashworth. The media have suggested Murtough will take on a reduced role at that point. Will depend ultimately on what the club decide.We are very openly pursuing Dan Ashworth as DOF while Murtough is still the DOF? Am I missing something here? Has Murtough resigned or being sacked?
i have heard that story before and IIRC it was proven bullshitSounds hilarious until you realise that in 2018 Murtough was not the guy who would have had to make that call.
If you actually take it into context it shines Murtough in a good light. Its not the gotcha moment some fans with a vendetta would like to believe it is.i have heard that story before and IIRC it was proven bullshit

Well it worked didn't it? He knew Woodward was a clueless muppet.What the bloody hell is this ?
Didn't Murtough gave an ultimatum to Woodward that he won't appoint him to DOF, so he'll feck off to Inter Miami ? Murtough is the last person to talk

When I was a kid, we used to talk about ‘gossip girls’ because we had this idea that gossiping and rumourmongering was typical girl stuff. We were always wrong, of course, and this thread really is brimmimg with the evidence to the point of drowning.Tweet

He's just heard about this talented young midfielder at Birmingham City. He did think it a bit odd that he seems to have an apartment in Madrid but he's not one to miss an opportunityFinally getting that Jude Bellingham deal done it seems!
Academy director Nick Cox is mostly responsible for that. He only gave his final approval, I doubt he was involved in the negotiations at all for the likes of Garnacho.I would keep him at the Academy recruitment. He did a good job there
Pretty sure he was very involved. He's the one who set up the scouting system that allowed us to nab Garnacho when his contract situation was uneasy. And he went over to Spain for talks and had to quarantine after. They all worked together on it for people like Garnacho, Jurado, Fernandez. That was Murtough and his crew being proactive and smart. We got a lot of talent for cheap with one working out to be Man Utd level and Fernandez being able to be sold on for a good fee.Academy director Nick Cox is mostly responsible for that.

That was one thing we were reliably good at. Jumping in when 16 year olds were about to turn pro at other teams. It’s almost been a very profitable tactic for us especially if Pogba had worked out first time around. There’s no doubting we can spot good players at that level. It’s an approach I hope to see more of again now we have INEOS clubs in the European leagues. You really can make a big profit on those players if you loan them aggressively and with a solid development plan between 18-21. Most just want to play professional games and start making their name in the game instead of sitting for years in our youth setup.Pretty sure he was very involved.

Not that that defends his role in the Ten Hag situation.
It’s Brexit that’s hindering us, we have to wait until they’re 18 now so we can’t get talents like Garnacho, Pogba and Alvaro like we could a few years ago.That was one thing we were reliably good at.
