Feck sake. Woodward is an utter shitebag.
Aren't he and Woodward best buds now?
I've not managed to watch it all but apparently he makes it sound like Pogba is leaving?
Yes they are.
I understand his annoyance and it was shitty but that dicision fetched the club £1.5m.
It's all about the money, forget pissing off players and getting a bad rep. At least they sorted their issues.
Doesn't paint a good picture does it.
Woodward didn't even call him to let him know in advance.

Its not about the decision nor the money. Its about how you deal with people and the integrity with which you carry out business. Had Ed told Patrice his decision to his face I am sure Patrice would have understood and tried to come to some compromise. He might have been willing to compensate and buy out his contract to secure his family’s happiness, you never know.
I agree.
Feck Woodward what an absolute fecker of a man. You can tell he doesn't care about football. Just a money man.
Also the whole hanging up on Evra cos he was swearing and then not answering his calls and Giggs having to step in. Jesus.
he's a hell of a character
I thought that too... is he a feckin' child or something?
Didnt we trigger Ander Herrera's contract extension by post as well. Think I read he received a letter in the post. Awful professionalism from Ed. Courtesy is to pick up the phone and have a conversation and agreement. People wonder why we cant sign players with this clown in charge
Imagine if Woodward was around back in the day & on the recieving end of some Roy Keane verbals. Or the Fergie hairdryer...
Imagine Ed saying to Keane/SAF "You can't speak to me like that I'm the Director of Football / a really big boy"
This, and the quote “I’m the director of football, you don’t talk to me like that” leaves you in bad taste.
Woodward strikes me as an highly insecure man who now has become incredibly arrogant and greedy for power. He is the perfect puppet for the Glazers.
His reluctance to appoint a proper director of football(who actually knows a thing or two about football) during a transfer window where we are in tremendous need of signing players of in key positions(CB and RW) which we’ve neglected for years makes me feel like he doesn’t want to let go on his power.
Woodward has to go. His influence on the football side of the business could keep us struggling for top 4 for years to come.
If you don't laugh you'll cry
he says he doesn't know, but "when Paul wants to leave, he will leave"
Woodward is a fecking moron. The sooner he fecks off the better.
We need more of this kind of revelations about Ed's direct shittiness.
LVG also said something similar of how unprofessional and backstabbing Ed is.
Anything else?

It's from 21:00+ until 25:00.
For anyone who want to hear Evra's direct verbal words about Ed.
Video is unavailable.
Did he say his agent read ManUtd statement on his birthday? If so he is confused with timelines I guess. His contract extension was announced on 23rd May and his birthday is on 15th May.
I guess it's the message from ManUtd to his agent, before announcing it officially.
Should have let him go imo, great servant and Woodward really messed it up.

Birthday dinner, might not have been on his actual birthday...
Makes sense. Thanks.
there have been a lot of stories like this about how we've handled things terribly (for example Herrera's contract renewal) and its impossible to know if its true or not, but hearing it directly from Evra its hard to deny it - Ed is a right cnut
Yeah, it's very strange to do it behind someone's back and not discuss it with them properly. Reeks of arrogance and not giving a shit about people. Doesn't set a good tone throughout a company when those at the top piss everyone off.
Anyone who thinks Woodward wasn't the blame for the fax machine has been living in dream land, all along it's been obvious and this revelation just shows the depths the man will go to
To be fair, that was a great move if true
How much was Evra's signing on fee? How much was his loyalty bonus?
It's a plus 1 contract, Evra signed it and as a club we have a right to use it.
I never said it wasn't, Ed obviously had designs on United being bigger than the likes of Madrid, shithousery and allTo be fair, that was a great move if true
