So you wanna make it into a hierarchy thing? Fine, imagine if Woodward has come out and questioned Mourinho regarding his commitment and attitude after all the outbursts Mourinho has had and especially after his little flirt with PSG? Now imagine the mother of all hellstorms Mourinho would throw at Woodward in that scenario? Would you be saying "mate CEO is a CEO and a manager's a manager"?
You need to understand that pro sports isn't like your normal 9 to 5 job, and much depends on public opinion and confidence. Even there your bosses don't get a pass for publicly berating you (trust me I had some cnuts of bosses myself) unless they're the owners as well, in that case you're fked.
Basically one cannot be forgiven because he's a manger, whilst other is criticised for following his manager's example, something his manager has been doing from day one and be expected to behave as he's the order and more experienced one.
Negatively only breeds more negativity.
Hey mate just because you've decided to ignore the cause and head straight for the outcome, that's your business, I won't stop just because you don't fancy reading about it. Feel free to put me on ignore. As I said before we're discussing Pogba's actions and what caused him to do so.
Fair play to Shaw, but not every player is alike. We have seen what he's capable during LVG's days and then we've seen Mourinho slanting a 20+ y old boy coming off an horrible injury and right when he was starting to play well, dropping him again (like last season) for Young.
