Ed Woodward didn’t think Toby A would improve our defence.
Good thing we won't get there this season then.This guy only cares about getting top 4.
If we do he isn’t arsed what happens.
To be fair, there's enough wrong with the club at the moment that blame could be distributed any number of ways. Between the players, Jose, coaching staff, Ed...nobody's really absolved from fault. What's wrong IMO is blaming Ed because of the specific problem with the CB purchase.This is the person you put the blame on?
Really?!
This. It's flipping Brighton. Do we need half a billion spend to not get outplayed here?You're on another planet if you think a CB is this teams only problem. We've been outplayed by fecking Brighton.
Might have avoided conceding 3 times to Brighton though.To be fair, there's enough wrong with the club at the moment that blame could be distributed any number of ways.

One CB is not going to have any sort of tangible effect on a team that looks as disjointed at this. How is one CB going to change attacking play devoid of ideas, lack of movement, the opponents' ability to essentially ignore one side of the pitch, etc. etc.

Yep. And he got them wrong and wanted to try correct it.He's playing his two centre-back buys isn't he?
So he doesn’t think the manger is up to it but our players are? So why is the manager still here? No matter what side of the fence you’re on this man shouldn’t be running the club we’ve been in freefall since he has.You're on another planet if you think a CB is this teams only problem. We've been outplayed by fecking Brighton.
Then he should have been fired. If Woodward doesn't want to support the manager, hire someone he will support. It's not rocket science.I'd say Woodward's decision not to throw unlimited funds at Mourinho is justified. Like the rest of us, Woodward must watch our shocking performances and wonder why Jose isn't getting more out of what he's got. He doesn't deserve another penny after coaching our team to play such an appalling style of football.
We’e be one nil up without Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee at the back.You're on another planet if you think a CB is this teams only problem. We've been outplayed by fecking Brighton.
Mourinho should have been sacked at the end of last season. It's only inevitable given our trajectory.Then he should have been fired. If Woodward doesn't want to support the manager, hire someone he will support. It's not rocket science.
I don't know what he thinks. I personally think another CB wouldn't have solved our problems. As poor as LibdelLi and Bailey have been, it's not like we are facing a top team.So he doesn’t think the manger is up to it but our players are? So why is the manager still here? No matter what side of the fence you’re on this man shouldn’t be running the club we’ve been in freefall since he has.
Yep. Too early to say as he may yet deliver but I had my doubts about him at the start of the season.We've also bought a midfielder who is significantly worse than Herrera in Fred. Our board must look at the bloke in charge and wince at his signings.
Exactly!! People think signings will make everything better. I bet if Pogba was still at Juve and we were playing like this he’d be brought up on conversation as someone who can save us. Yet there he is after a World Cup win looking awful.Yes guys, we really needed Ed to make £200 million worth of new 'investment' to beat Brighton and Hove Albion. We didn't stand a chance otherwise.
Give me a break.
Agreed. We should just be able to send out any old team and roll over the likes of Brighton. No need to invest in the squad. No need to buy better players.Yes guys, we really needed Ed to make £200 million worth of new 'investment' to beat Brighton and Hove Albion. We didn't stand a chance otherwise.

Walk away? Admit hes out of his depth?Said it before, will say it again: do the right thing Ed.
Isn't that what he's doing by looking to hire our first DoF?Admit hes out of his depth?
Okay. So he should get rid of the manager? Doing nothing and expecting it to change is the definition of bad managementExactly!! People think signings will make everything better.

Off we had Maguire, Toby or Varane they’d look awful in this team right now. It’s a coaching issue.
Sack Jose and resignSaid it before, will say it again: do the right thing Ed.
He should have got rid of him based off the amount of shite performances last season but it's understandable that he didn't given we finished 2nd in the league.Okay. So he should get rid of the manager? Doing nothing and expecting it to change is the definition of bad management

No, he shouldn't. We'd be doing nothing more than wasting more money. What Woodward should be doing is actively looking for someone to replace Mourinho.Making good signings does effect the whole dynamic of the team tactics, confidence and competition for places.
Woodward should have backed the manager this window. We don't need an ex investment banker making footballing decisions and overruling the manager.
Even with this squad, we should be beating fecking Brighton. It's Brighton, not Barcelona.Making good signings does effect the whole dynamic of the team tactics, confidence and competition for places.

Fred has been one of the worst players on the pitch. Effecting the dynamic, or something.Making good signings does effect the whole dynamic of the team tactics, confidence and competition for places.

Fred, who has played less than 2 competitive games for us? Ok mate.Fred has been one of the worst players on the pitch. Effecting the dynamic, or something.
