We bought him for 75m + 15m in bonuses that he won’t have achieved. He’s been fecking wank. And people STILL moan when we get our money back. Give me fecking strength

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Yeah, Ed is a businessman who doesn't know how to do business. I could do business much better.
Hopefully, you were being sarcastic as well.
£75mil. according to Transferleague.co.uk
It's 78, not 80. Splitting hairs though
We paid £75m plus £15m in add ons that mostly weren't achieved.

72.03.. and that is with add ons.
60m guaranteed..
apparently 4.6m in easily achievable bonuses.
7.4m in not so easy to achieve, aka, not happening.
Less than 65m. bit of that goes to Everton.
Woodward needs to be replaced. The guy has a face of a clown. No wonder he is shit at negotiating. No one can go into a meeting with that idiot and feel intimidated.
I don't know where some of you are getting your euros from, 2007 perhaps?
We are not getting our money back though, only if he hits his bonuses for Inter
Also, he has three years left on his deal in a runaway inflation market - any sort of loss is a shambles
And if you leave the money in a euro account it will be worth double that next year
What do we think - will we reinvest the Lukaku money by end of business tomorrow?
No.
Not in a million years. He is shockingly bad
So at best we are breaking even on a proven goal scorer at a good age with three years left on his deal
Do you think his value has increased since he signed for us?So at best we are breaking even on a proven goal scorer at a good age with three years left on his deal
Hopefully but not confident we will. Unfortunately think this will be our final piece of business done in this window. Hope I’m wrong though.
How come we haven't sold darmian yet?
He's not even a footballer
Yep. Which leaves us with one potential goalscorer who does not seem to know when to shoot and when not to, another who the slightest thing sends him into mental anguish and another who is a child.So at best we are breaking even on a proven goal scorer at a good age with three years left on his deal
I'm going to take a wild guess and say you're not a fan of Woodward?
He has a 1 in 2 record for a poor ‘top side’, has scored goals throughout his career, is a good age and has three years left on his contract in a market where he was highly sought after
I think a competent negotiating team would have done a better job for us
Are you kidding? You managed to get most of the initial fee back for an unwanted player, desperate to leave, with only one club interested, after a very poor season. That was very good business from Woodward
Also of note, it almost certainly registers as a profit on your books, which once again, are the only thing that matters for a club like United
Everyway apart from the fact he didn't want to come? Amazing that pal. This isn't FIFA.
He's desperate to leave, to the point of going AWOL. I'd like to see anyone try and negotiate a better deal when we have very little leverage to any deal.
That profit won’t mean much when we finish sixth or worse this season - the margin will soon erode
This is why pure money men shouldn’t be allowed to run football club, they don’t understand the nuance
It would be an absolute disgrace and it will 100% backfire.
I think former investment banker Woodward understands the clubs finances better than you.
Is anyone doing flighttracker to see him leave? That is how bad i want him gone
Who wouldn't love this guy..
CEO of our club. In charge of our managerial recruitment. In charge of our transfers. Doing a great job.
6 years of success.
The way of the Caf. Unreal.
Lukaku being desperate to leave and the club wanting him gone isn't on the money men though
Inter still have 3 weeks to get this transfer done. If they agreed deal today that makes me think we're going to try and replacement in before 5pm 2mo.
Depends what you believe pal.

Most people would struggle to consistently take such failure on the chin.

Luckily Woodward doesn't seem to have a chin in that photo
You’re cutting your nose off to spite your face in this argument - are you happy with Woodward?
The bloke gave Rooney and Sanchez absolute mega deals when they were busted flushes
Investment banker or not he’s fecking clueless
I think it's just that the offer is acceptable for us and we just want to save paying him wages.
