This is why I think United are in deeper s*it than most people realise. Our club from top to bottom is more worried about image than having any genuine footballing ambition; that can only change with a radical makeover.The only thing interesting about that article is that it was made by bad liars, whether it is the journalist or the club. Data on 804 rights backs.
Not being funny but they could have employed someone from the caf in 2018 and they'd have thought of the same shortlist.
Also this bit is weird:
"So, the recruitment
so with all that data at their disposal the tech guys vetoed Mourinho when he tried to buy Maguire for 60mNot being funny but they could have employed someone from the caf in 2018 and they'd have thought of the same shortlist.
Also this bit is weird:
"So, the recruitment department has the power to veto the manager if he wants to buy a player, as they did with Mourinho"
I thought Ed mentioned the manager has final say last week?

Its had a firmware update. This one goes to 11so with all that data at their disposal the tech guys vetoed Mourinho when he tried to buy Maguire for 60m
only to return a year later when we could spend 80m
how do we explain this.....software upgrade?
So this system has been in place since 2018, allowing Woodward to say "no" to Mourinho on signing Maguire, but then recommended signing him next year?
Riiiiggghhhttt....
In those final crucial meetings sit Jim Lawlor, who was Ferguson’s chief scout, Bout, Court, Solskjaer and Judge. Woodward isn’t present.
Dont forget the presentation so staff knew exactly that woodward wasnt selecting the players.Ah, so we've had a database of 800 right backs and still decided to sign the most obvious and known to everybody one, that's fantastic.
The most important part is this one though, in case anybody missed it:
Just feck off Woodward you cnut, nobody's that fecking stupid anymore.
Mou: I want maguire and fred
Woodward plays with his system and then
Mou: Well?
Woodward: you can get Fred as the system clearly state that he is perfect for us but not Maguire
MOu leaves, ole comes in
Ole: I want maguire
Woodward : system says he will be perfect for us. He will prove more expensive but oh well
Also was it this foolproof software that decided to buy fred for 50m when jose didnt particulary want him

Need premium account for that shit, trial version only gets you defence.Pity theres no data on midfielders
1) He had to fit a few holidays in and his general ‘preparation’ time. 4 years is about right for Ed.1. Why did it take Woodward 4 years to establish a top of the line recruitment strategy/team? A good director of football would have brought that with him along with the ability to judge players with his eyes not just algorithms.
2. What amazing sophisticated algorithm churned out Fred's name?
3. If our new recruitment team is that amazing, why couldn't they find a no. 9 to replace Lukaku and a Right winger other than Manzdukic, Dybala and Sancho, names a 12 yr old who plays fifa can give you.
4. It's obvious to all that United desperately needs a proven DOF to oversee recruitment. Yet Woodward hasn't employed one. City would have bought a super computer instead of employing Tixki Begiristain if algorithms were sufficient to find good players. Where is the proactive approach in recruiting the best in class DOF, will that take another 4 years?
As opposed to the people running it currently ?
This is the recruitment department. In those final crucial meetings sit Jim Lawlor, who was Ferguson’s chief scout, Bout, Court, Solskjaer and Judge. Woodward isn’t present. It is said Judge doesn’t offer any input on the quality of the players. His only role is as the initial interface with the agents.
club leaked the reason we didnt buy bruno in the summer was because he was too risky. In oles press conference he says we need players to take more risks and be brave. You couldnt make this stuff upPity theres no data on midfielders
Agree with this, reason being I think he is the only guy who the Glazers listen to and under his watch we have spent unprecedented amounts of money on fees and wages for players. I'd imagine that if Woodward had started out with Ferguson instead of Moyes/Mourinho/Van Gaal we could have been more successful. But for him to stay he has to take a further step back and also review Judge's performance whilst bringing in a DOF and Head of Recruitment.Always up for a redemption story. If Woodward had learned from his last meddling and they're actually serious about doing things in a structured way with football expertise , then great. I would rather see Woodward change and succeed than fail even more dramatically and leave. Devil you know over the angel you don't.
But if he's playing his same tricks that's a different matter...I fear that's the case of course
