Let's just say we're happy we got our man and leave it at that because between us I'm not exactly shocked by the rumours that they got grilled by the candidate they were supposed to be interviewing.
You’re right , bring back Ed Woodward
This is so satisfying to read. Remember when these babies were crying about RR making them work extra hours and giving them tactics to study at home. Bloody fools. We pay top dollar for every single player and they have the nerve to complain about high workload. Just start sending in those transfer requests.
Yea I'm excited over the prospect of having him getting a full preseason in. The squad fitness levels should be the best they've been in years for next season. So often they just can't keep up with some of the more press oriented sides in the league. Gonna be a welcome change
This is good to read. When I watched the City Liverpool game, while there were many areas you could say we are far behind them in, by far the most staggering difference was the physical intensity of their play. The pressing, the amount of running, the constant movement, we do none of that.
Will be most watched game of the season.
Cocks out time!!!!!!!!!
not exactly a logical reply... we need proper director of football and, as I've said before, I wish Ten Hag could bring Edwin with him to replace guy I see as little more than Woodward's clone
agreed... in fact, I thought that's what ralf was pretty much hired for... again our board f@cking things up before we even start
no.. but maybe a bit of experience at other clubs before one of the largest in the world. not many people go in straight at the top - in any form of job
what about sensible compromise: you know, someone who'd done the job elsewhere before getting one of the biggest in football. I mean picking a former player worked so well at manager level, didn't it?
a bit ironic calling people morons after believing that mate
I've said for at least two years that we didn't look as fit as all the other top sides (and some of the "lesser" ones too). It was one of the (many) things, I said Ole was getting wrong
Van der Sar isn't a director of Football, he has never done that job. Also it would quite amusing to see a head coach bring a CEO.
you don't win anything with kids... oh wait, I mean you don't win everything with kids... oh wait...
no... I said Edwin to replace Arnold! I didn't say it can be done, I said I wish it could be done
I think we have to start with the basics: transform AWB into a footballer! I've lost count of how many goals his poor positioning has given away
Why? What would be the actual benefits, most top clubs CEOs are like Arnold and not like VDS. What skills would VDS bring?
I mean Arnold is obviously way more qualified for that role than VdS. We don’t really need a football man as CEO, we just need a CEO willing to let let the football men make the football decisions - which so far seems to be the case.
And we have no clue about VDS football man abilities, he hasn't really done any technical job, Ajax haven't given him those jobs either. He was a marketing director before that. What people are doing is assume that VdS qualities have anything to do with Football just because he played Football. Now one would wonder why the same isn't applied to Fletcher or why people don't give the benefits of doubt to someone like Murtough who actually have a technical experience.
Posts like this are so ridiculous. The truth is that you have absolutely no idea of Fletcher’s qualities and capabilities but you’re dismissing him because he was a player here. Bizarre. Especially when he’s done feck all wrong so far. This is the latest thing going around Twitter, he seems to be the new scape goat.
95% of people on Twitter are those who usually know a little bit of everything and generally like to run their mouth.
Ahhh. Ten Hag...Push it! Push it real good!
Not a league.
Matic, Mata, Pogba, Lingard and Cavani all gone in the summer for certain.
I like the idea of one strike and you're out. I'm fed up of players at this club getting an easy ride and everyone pandering to them. Do the job to the best of your ability or piss off
You know Arnold is far more qualified than VDS don’t you ? I don’t see why VDS is the answer to everything by some people on here . For all we know Murtough and Fletcher are excellent at what they do , it’s just easier to criticise them because they haven’t a big name in the football circle .
Lingard hopefully will get a club. If he will accept a pay cut, unless it is Newcastle of course. Otherwise he might become an ex-footballer as I hope we will not be stupid enough to resign him.
he will definitely get a club. He'll go back to West Ham or Newcastle. he'll have plenty of other options, he's a very good player to pick up on a free.
He is, but not for the money he would be paid by us.
Fletcher has no experience in the job is the point I'm making. And VDS has been a chief executive for six years, Arnold has been that for two months. Maybe you are worse at maths than me (which takes some effort). Before that he was a managing director and I'm told got a degree in biology...
all I'm saying is you expect United to employ someone experienced... not many people go straight into a totally new job at the top. It's typical of the board to go half-arsed having waiting years to appoint a DoF
You need to read a bit more about Arnold tbh.
so fill me in... I don't see anything here to change my mind
more experience in the job... worked his way up at Ajax... has played the game/background in the job...
