Man Utd set to appoint Director of Football (when hell freezes over)

[Rozay]

This is the final nail in this ‘United way’ bollocks and ‘tradition’ that has held us back post-Fergie, and I would say even in his latter years.

Our rivals already had a head start before Fergie retired in building new structures that we are seeing the fruits of now.

 

[astracrazy]

He also said it was Jose against Man Utd appointing a DOF.

I guess this was meant to happen during the summer, hence the I'm just a head coach now comments.

Who the feck is James Cooper?

SSN's United correspondent.

 

[Scarecrow]

SSN's United correspondent.

cheers

 

[JinnerJamie]

Mickey Mouse?

We are like Disneyland after all...

 

[Kapardin]

Also, the caretaker manager will be “fun to work with” is what Utd have told James Cooper.

We hiring Santa Claus then?

 

[Sied]

Evra confirmed.

 

[ROFLUTION]

Btw this would be a real ballsy move by Woodward. Takes courage to criticise yourself and look inside, re-organize and take the time to find the right solution instead of making desperate moves.

Let's hope it's true.

 

[Vadim]

Does he actually know or is he assuming?

He’s been speaking with sources at the club all morning, he’s literally at Old Trafford this morning.

 

[Minimalist]

Well that sounds positive. Should make a lot of people happy that move.

 

[Chairman Steve]

Fun to work with media people? Obviously its Sir Alex then.

 

[Oscar.Z.Acosta]

This is coming far too late (about 5 years too late), but as I say to my far superior other half, better coming late than never!

 

[SER19]

Neville as dof. Pochettino as manager.

 

[devilish]

Evra confirmed.

I think its going to be Ole.

 

[Crackers]

Mickey Mouse?

We are like Disneyland after all...

I'd say it's more likely to be Goofy.

 

[Raulduke]

Fun to work with? Cantona???

Seen another journo tweet something like "the press will like the caretaker". The seagulls follow the trawler

 

[Oscar.Z.Acosta]

Evra confirmed.

What?! Seriously?

 

[Cloud7]

Yay.

 

[devilish]

Neville as dof. Pochettino as manager.

Nah its going to be Mitchell.

 

[OneUnited24]

I wonder if this was one of the reasons why José was sacked. There were rumours that he didn’t like the clubs preferred man for the dof role.

The big question on who is a big one. I would say this appointment would be greater than the managers appointment. Get this wrong and the knock on effect would be bad... or badder...

 

[SER19]

Woodward should be fecking shunted as far away from the football as possible, so far we don’t see his smug idiot face at games.

 

[Chairman Steve]

Is it Ole really going to pack in his full time role in Molde for this part time assignment?

James Cooper live outside Old Trafford just conformed that we will hire a DoF and then appoint full time manager in summer.

We will streamline our operations (his words).

Seems like the club actually does have a plan of action!

Also, the caretaker manager will be “fun to work with” is what Utd have told James Cooper.

What does that even mean?

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Said the reason we hadn't appointed one already was due to Mourinho being completely against it

Yet another positive to sacking Mourinho then.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Neville as dof.

Rather not have a DoF at all.

 

[SER19]

Nah its going to be Mitchell.

Take 2 from spurs and kane

 

[Ekeke]

Neville as dof. Pochettino as manager.

Neville would get us relegated

 

[VeevaVee]

He’s been speaking with sources at the club all morning, he’s literally at Old Trafford this morning.

I'm wary of what those sources are. I'm not sure being stood outside Old Trafford proves much. Good news if true though.

 

[Will Singh]

Now or in the summer?

New manager in the summer

 

[Adebesi]

If you are standing outside OT everything you say must be true. Every journalist knows that.

 

[LeftyBlaster]

Ed should be next in line to get fired from footballing matters.

 

[devilish]

Take 2 from spurs and kane

Kane won't be coming but Toby and Eriksson will.

 

[Cassidy]

Kane won't be coming but Toby and Eriksson will.

Wait what?

 

[crossy1686]

I think we can all agree that Woodward shouldn't have anything to do with the footballing aspect of the club moving forward.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. How anyone would have guessed that LVG and Mourinho would not be great selections is beyond me. From what was available, those two were probably the best.

I don't blame Woody at all in his choices.

Sums it all up really and shows you where the real problem is. If he decided not to back him during the summer then he really should have dumped him there and then. It was never going to end well.

 

[FlawlessThaw]

Imagine a CEO for any big business performing the way Woodward has, they'd be locked up in a mental asylum.

 

[devilish]

Wait what?

If we get Pochs and Mitchell then I can see us sign Toby and Erikson. Both are heading towards the end of their contract.
