I honestly don't care if he remains working for our commercial arm but I would prefer it if we have someone else handle football related finances.
Maybe I’m the mistaken one, but I don’t think many, or at least most of the vocal majority on here know what they want at all. Or why they want it.
If people are not happy with us not signing as many players as they would like, that would not change regardless of whether we replaced Woodward with Monchi or any other cool DoF. They can only spend what the Glazers allow.
Secondly, I’ve seen so many ‘still no RW, no midfielder - Woodward has to go’ comments. Did any of you say this about Gill if we didn’t strengthen areas you wanted? Who are this list of midfielders and wingers that Ole asked Woodward to negotiate for which he failed to negotiate a deal? Because you listed a bunch of midfielders in the Transfer Forum doesn’t mean we will go and sign them. There is no indication Ole asked for another winger at all, nor any other midfielder than Longstaff, so if the criticism is not caving and paying £50m for him, then fair enough.
Did everyone want Ed to look at the squad and say ‘right, we need a centre half, right back, two midfielders and a winger’ then go and get them?
If anything, blame the Glazers. I’m sure if the budget was bigger, you would have all the signings your hearts desired. But there’s been no indication, at all, that Ole has requested a bunch of players that we failed to do reasonable deals for. All transfer forum conjecture from what I’ve seen.
