Your right there mate
What you fail to realise is that the club has a whole network of scouts and head scouts including Bout and Ribelta (who has now left).
True. It is clear as hell that he needs to report into the CEO
Agree on this he should not have an opinion on the football side, he should just stick to what he is good at. I totally agree with the part in bold mate and fear that he is going to try to to influence the DoF, which will make him seem undermined and want to go. This is one of our most important appointments not only does Woody need to get it right, he needs to keep his nose out of the football side and let the new guy get on with his job to get us challenging for top honours once again. Woody should let the new guy get in whoever he wants and screw how much it costs and do whatever it takes financially to get us where we should be. He should also be allowed to bring in whatever staff he feels he needs to get us there even it means making up job titles for them.
Well, that's a club legend and ex captain who got elevated into that role and has grown into it over the years. Proper long termism there. Whatever success he is today has come with time and experience. We could learn a thing or two from that...
He is loyal to them
Watched it and it's good. Burt was spot on and called out all the rubbish Jose fed to the media.
he will also likely be retiring at the end of his latest contract which he signed last year.
You mean the sort of manager David Gill said all those years ago that United were planning to appoint when Fergie retired?
None, it's just a name. Technical director is the generic name while DoF is the one specifically used in football. The actual details of the role depends on the club and its structure.
It was really interesting. Think a lot of people are seeing Jose for what he is now.
I don't get how some didn't see it. You don't even need to listen to Burt, Mourinho himself has described the way he works on transfers in order to blame Woodward when he thought that the players weren't signed quickly enough, he is the one who told us that he identified the players and that the rest wasn't his problem. Then suddenly the players weren't his choice, at Chelsea he described Pogba has the Eiffel Tower, he said that every team in the world wants Pogba but after 24 months coaching him, he leaks that he didn't want him. Mourinho is a liar, simply because he can't keep the same story.
Yeah, also good that everything is coming out.
Mitchell seems like a good option.Man Utd fan i believe.
I know JP, I even argued the same points. How Jose's mouth piece Duncan wrote that Fred and Lindelof were top of his list and somehow they weren't his choices when they didn't play well.
Woodward should not be the superior of any DoF. He is a banker, not a football man, and he should have little influence in the footballing side of the club. If the Glazers don't set out to protect the DoF from Woodward's meddling then any DoF is doomed to fail. Woodward knows nothing about signing players the club needs.
So you don't think a DOF needs money to spend? Woodward would set the budget that the DoF has to work within, its not rocket science.
And in general is a ridicule angle. Berta and Sarri were bankers, one is a DOF and the other a PL manager. People can understand more than one thing and it's been said multiple times, Woodward doesn't meddle, you have Burt confirming it once again on this very page.
Nearly, the attacking football was missing..
no.no.no.no.no.no.no.no.no.no. None of them have the experience. One thing I completely agree with Gary Neville about is we have to get the best in show for this position. Proven pedigree at running the football side of operations at a top club.
He doesn't meddle. He actually is our football side which is a part of the problem.
Nah, too romantic an option, Casanova.
Hasn't he worked with Paul Mitchell before?
Indeed. It vanished never to return...
