Yes but if he gave Evra his word then it’s a bit of a shitty thing to doIt's a plus 1 contract, Evra signed it and as a club we have a right to use it.

Yup.The most illuminating thing about this whole episode is Ed referring to himself as DoF.
I'd love to see 20 pages of hacked Ed emails illustrated by Squires.
TBF this was early in the career for Woodward at this role. He probably thought as a banker doing this and gaining the extra money was a good thing for business.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.
Doubt its a question of him being a newbie, more like grade one prick as person.TBF this was early in the career for Woodward at this role. He probably thought as a banker doing this and gaining the extra money was a good thing for business.
I would hope he's learnt over the last few years that you have to be a bit more personal.
He certainly does look like a worm. And he's also an ex banker of course. That should automatically disqualify you from running any real businesses in my book.Doubt its a question of him being a newbie, more like grade one prick as person.
I just think doing things in that manner, shady, behind someones back, going back on your word without clients knowing has nothing to do with him being new in that role, all those qualities mentioned are part of a being a cnut.He certainly does look like a worm. And he's also an ex banker of course. That should automatically disqualify you from running any real businesses in my book.
He displays some distinctly unbankerlike traits though. They are supposed to be ruthless, dispassionate bastards. Ed seems to base his decisions on nostalgia and sentimentality.He certainly does look like a worm. And he's also an ex banker of course. That should automatically disqualify you from running any real businesses in my book.
I don't know what is up with large segments of this fanbase, but it has always been weird to me how some have built Roy Keane to be this mythical boogeymanIt would have been better if Roy Keane was around and Woodward tried on him. Because there would have been no Woodward after that.
How is it a myth? There have been a ton of stories about his mentality and crazy outbursts.I don't know what is up with large segments of this fanbase, but it has always been weird to me how some have built Roy Keane to be this mythical boogeyman
so, a myth then?How is it a myth? There have been a ton of stories about his mentality and crazy outbursts.
I guess we have a different definition or understanding of a myth. When I hear that word, I associate it with the Greek mythology, or something like that.so, a myth then?
fear another man and/or build him up to be the terminator because he walks around with a bitter frown on his face, brehs.
Which is basically nothing for us and not worth falling out with a player.I understand his annoyance and it was shitty but that dicision fetched the club £1.5m.
Indeed. If I had a cent everytime someone says 'this wouldn't have happened with Roy Keane around' I would be a billionaire by now. Pogba wouldn't dare playing badly, Lukaku wouldn't dare miss a goalscoring opportunity, Moyes wouldn't dare sacking Fergie's backroom staff etc. etc.I don't know what is up with large segments of this fanbase, but it has always been weird to me how some have built Roy Keane to be this mythical boogeyman
Specifically, myth means it's not true. Whereas if it was a perhaps exaggerated story with basis in fact it would be legend. So Roy Keane's anger would be legendary given that he actually is an angry mentalist.I guess we have a different definition or understanding of a myth. When I hear that word, I associate it with the Greek mythology, or something like that.
Might be able to get Maguire over the line then. Great forethought by Ed.I understand his annoyance and it was shitty but that dicision fetched the club £1.5m.
Well Roy wasn't exactly the Boogeyman. He was the one you sent to tackle the fecking Boogeyman.I don't know what is up with large segments of this fanbase, but it has always been weird to me how some have built Roy Keane to be this mythical boogeyman
Love me some JW references. Bravo.Well Roy wasn't exactly the Boogeyman. He was the one you sent to tackle the fecking Boogeyman.
Ed knows it’s curtains for him if he fails to deliver this transfer window. No way in hell will the fans let it go after this interview and another failed transfer window.Part of me wonders if this Evra interview has forced Woodward to release info about Dybala to calm the inevitable shit storm. By the end of the window this cloud be brought back up and will spark an inferno, but right now it's flown under the radar.
Very much so, reading the article he wrote were really emotional.Goosebumps.

Adds flesh to OPs video.“I felt betrayed by Ed,” Evra told The Guardian. “I called Juventus to tell them I am coming. Ed then said: ‘We offer you a two-year contract, more money, the captaincy, a testimonial.’ Too late [for Evra to renege on his agreement with Juventus].”
