Way to rub salt in the wound. Try posting that in the Woodward thread. You'll be bombarded by sympathizers absolving Ed of everything.

66 days to go till our window closes.
But some of our fans are like:

Hardly. Everyone on here recognizes the need to rebuild the team. There's just a difference in opinion on how. And luckily not everyone panics after we're not the first club in the window to announce a new player. People on here are acting like the window is almost over and we've not done any business while for most clubs (you know, the ones we're likely to buy from) this is week 1.
Didnt know we have Ed fans round here?
Brilliant CFO. Absolutely undeniable. However as a CEO he's made so many bad choices.
Well in the context of the transfer window in 2014,where he said these words,he was proven right,wasn't he ?
Even if Jovic's transfer wasn't a smooth negotiation for Madrid, they've locked their first transfer up a mere weeks after the opening of the transfer window. The issue has never been that Madrid, like United, have protracted periods of negotiations; but rather the issue is that Madrid sort out those protractions quickly into the window. We, however, drag ours long into the window. Happens every year.
Like showing up at school on the day of an important exam, with no trousers on and not having done any revision
- Ed Woodward
Our fans are generally over reacting to what's really the first big deal of the window, but given Woodwards record I can at least understand it. I hate to say it but there's no huge cause for optimism that this will be anything other than another disaster show of a window. Either through failure or through what we sign. Only mourinhos first season was a good clear strategy window
Yep. I'm oddly hopeful of a good window as the first team is poor enough that it's probably relatively easy to make signings that improve it
This famous quote is fake though isn't it? And even if Ed did say this, a quote from 2014 means nothing 2019, times have changed. Since Woodward allegedly said this, Madrid have won 3 CLs, while we qualified for CL 3 times!

I thought he mentioned its something United fans will like?
It’s not about that at all. We’ve been in this for 6 fecking years if you haven’t noticed. Nothing to do with announcements et al. It’s more the fact that Real Madrid had terrible season and still made the CL but for them it’s an absolute disaster, so much so that they’re gutting their squad root and stem. We’d be fecking over the moon about getting into the CL. Which why that quote from Woodward is an insult to our intelligence as fans.
Plenty will like that.
I'd take Cancelo and £60-70m for Pogba. Buy Bruno Fernandes with cash and we've got 2 top player for 2 positions and zero pounds net spent.
We’re no slouch. We could easily be going for players like Pepe etc. It doesn’t even matter about what name we’re going for. There are gems unearthed every season. Fact is we don’t have decent scouting in place and our transfer strategy is scatter gun at best!
It's real -.he also said when the opposition sees schweinsteiger name on the team sheet it will send shivers down their spines.
It's a paper so it's at best less than 0.25% reliable.
Whenever I googled this quote or looked it up on twitter, I got nothing but results from troll twitter accounts.
That would be great too but rather unlikely. It would leave them very short.
I don't even think that was.
He deemed Bailly too clumsy to trust pretty sharpish. It took Mkhi half the season to get proper game time and was sold the next season. He never found out how to play Pogba. Zlatan did alright but the rest never seemed to fit José's ideal way.
Absolutely agree! He needs to stay in a financial growth role.... DOF maybe ffs
I don't get the stupid comments about the glazers tbh. They haven't stopped us spending a shit ton of money, just need to invest it more wisely
Saw it live in pre season on Mutv and then i went back on here to see what people thought about it
watch this spaceYeah they certainly weren't successful but it at least had a blueprint and seemed like Woodward delivered largely what was asked. Every other window has been a sackable display of true ineptitude
Near the end of the window we'll probably see a few of Ed's famous briefs explaining us why we signed just 2 players, one of them being a reserve keeper or a 16 year old.
Jesus, that's painful to listen to.
Wow that's embarrassing! I've always refused to believe he would say such stupid thing.Saw it live in pre season on Mutv and then i went back on here to see what people thought about it
Nothing new...we ve been painful to watch since he took over

Don't think he will ever fail to amaze us.
Wouldn't be a bad option for us if we can't get AWB and Barca are willing to sell for a reasonable price.
The quote was posted after an announcement yet it has nothing to do with announcements? It's also a very old quote so why are we discussing it in the transfer tweets thread then? This is just unprovoked (well, pocco did provoke you by posting the quote tbh) moaning about the club. Yeah we've been badly run for years now but bringing that fact up every time another club does something good doesn't do anybody any good. Theres hundreds of threads dedicated to that specific issue anyway.
New contract then ?
Or he's not good enough and Barca are looking to replace him
Can people please post translations? I understand about 3 fecking words in that, with 2 of them being Yes & No
Semedo would be a better option than both AWB and Muenier though. Would cost a shit tonne...
Ed is one of the problems we have at United, no doubt but how can he be blamed for the crap LVG and Jose put out? He didn't tell LVG to keep 60/70% possession while only having 1 shot on target nor did he tell Jose to park the bus vs bottom half team and have no intention of attacking.
He can be blamed for many things but no sure how he can be blamed for the crap football our managers put out.
