Same shit behind the seems, simply repackaged. Let's see what the next two windows manifest.
Judge's role hasn't changed and it's just a title change, exact same job as he has been doing.I mean I haven't made up my mind.
Personally I don't think it's much change but am hoping it is.
Fletcher is obviously an unkown and has no experience in the role but maybe he can have an influence.
Murtough I've just read a few articles on and am somewhat hopeful after what he has done with the Academy.
Judge is a terrible appointment in my opinion based on his previous track record. We have heard lots of very concerning things about him over the last few years.
So yes if I'm guessing I don't think this change is what we had hoped.
But I'll keep an open mind. As many Journos have said time will tell if this is real change or if this is change in name only.
Let's all hope it's the former.
Should be able to tell fairly quick. Real clubs go into transfer windows with plans and execute them as quickly as possible.
We only need to go back to last summer to see a disaster.
This is the main thing thats annoys me about this, there are positives to be had in the others. The fact he has been demoted acknowledges he shouldnt be doing the job, and Woodward has kept his clique mate in the jobPersonally I don't think it's much change but am hoping it is.

That edit is hilarious. As is the response where you agree with someone saying 'no change' and highlight that there is one major change in Darren Flecther being involved.Matt Judge appointed Director of Football Negotiations after years of failing.
Disgusting.
This is the guy agents complain about cause he won't answer his fecking phone.
Not delighted with Fletcher as he has no experience but let's hope he is good.
Murtough as football director seems another cop out too.
Bar Fletcher all these people have been here years and failing for years.
Edit: Reading up Murtough actually seems the most promising appointment. Judge is really the only one I have a problem with based in what we know. Hopefully things improve quickly
Ole is a dictator for lifeTell ye wha'...
This is the WORST NEWS EVER if you are in the Ole Out Brigade.
This is the proof - if proof where ever needed - that we are going the long-term route...
Get your seatbelts on, guys 'n' gals... this journey gonna take a while...
Well seeing as it's inaccurate and you know, why don't you tell us what their roles are instead?Did you just make that up off the top of your head?
That is totally inaccurate. Literally every guess there is an innaccuracy.
Woodward hasn't been involved in direct negotiations for years now.The Matt Judge news could be huge. Anything to keep Woody away from the negotiating table.
Pleased for Fletcher. He understands United and should work well with any manager who has similar values (including Ole).
Exactly. Doesn't seem like he has been good at itJudge's role hasn't changed and it's just a title change, exact same job as he has been doing.
And somewhere in California, the real John Murtaugh is thinking wtf is he doing reciting Othello.He'll be Fletcher's aging black sidekick who's getting too old for this shit.
Wasn’t it? How’d ye know that?Not true most probably just like Sanchez salary of £500k wasn't correct either .
So it appears. The fact that they weren't able to attract a quality sporting director "Is not a good sign"Same shit behind the seems, simply repackaged. Let's see what the next two windows manifest.
It’s evidence that structure is more important than the manager. Ole will be responsible for what happens on the pitch and if he doesn’t meet standard and gets the sack the club carry on without him. It’s not a positive or negative reflection on Ole.Tell ye wha'...

Tell me more about your role within the Manchester United machine.So it appears. The fact that they weren't able to attract a quality sporting director "Is not a good sign"
It means that no one wanted to take a job where they wouldn't be able to do their job independently.
In short, Woodward's still in charge, the sporting director is his lackey. The Glazer's are trying to run a club they can't afford to run....so this is what we get.
I'll answer your question when you tell me how appointing Matt Judge as Director of Football Negotiations who botched the Sancho deal, failed to get Haaland, Bellingham, and most likely had a hand in...Tell me more about your role within the Manchester United machine.
When you’ve done that, tell me more about ‘quality sporting directors’ and how you have come to know so much about their value.
I'll add signing Igahlo from china on deadline day,I'll answer your question when you tell me how appointing Matt Judge as Director of Football Negotiations who botched the Sancho deal, failed to get Haaland, Bellingham, and most likely had a hand in...
Signing a 32 year old Matic to a three year deal
Signing a injury prone Phil Jones to a 5 year deal
Signing a lucrative extended contract to Alexis Sanchez which made him virtually impossible to sell
Signing a lucrative extended contract to David De Gea, thereby limiting our options of keeping Henderson
Recently signing an injury prone Cavani who states he's not happy and wants to leave....
....and I am just getting started, is a good improvement for the club.
Nothing is really changing at United, they are just shuffling seats around, Ed Woodward is still in charge, and Matt Judge has been his right hand man in negotiations....why should I be excited?
Didn't we also have to pay a good amount to extend Ighalo's deal?I'll add signing Igahlo from china on deadline day,
12 months later do the same with Cavani
Messing Romero around which pissed the squad off
'Trust the process'
Cavani isn't happy?!I'll answer your question when you tell me how appointing Matt Judge as Director of Football Negotiations who botched the Sancho deal, failed to get Haaland, Bellingham, and most likely had a hand in...

Yeah quite a few million. Not sure he even got on the pitch after itDidn't we also have to pay a good amount to extend Ighalo's deal?
This.Judge's role hasn't changed and it's just a title change, exact same job as he has been doing.
