You two mostly post good stuff when it comes to the Glazers. If you didn't I wouldn't bother. Gotta remember that the Glazer children are 'below' Woodward. Papa Glazer would very likely have kicked Woodward to the curb a long time ago. The reason is that Papa Glazer - whatever you think of a magnate - understood how hard and how nuanced it was to build something big, and in particular how many lives it touched, etc. This is a guy who made plenty of dick moves to get where he got, but also understood how great wealth siphons off of a greater many and all the subtleties that such entails.
To the Glazer children, however, Woodward is the consigliere who helped The Godfather seize power. To the Glazer spawn, Woodwards their royal vizier, their Merlin. Technically, yes they're 'above' him, but on an individual level, deep down they all know they're actually slightly below. Within an extremely broad band of decision making, they do what he 'advises' (AKA once in awhile they'll get an 'Okay, we can do that' from him. BTW, Woodward is aware of and sensitive to this dynamic, too.)
I've posted this many times before with absolutely zero expectation that anyone will understand it. But I'll keep on keeping on because it's the actual dynamic at work.
Woodward is NOT the Glazers' puppet. Malcolm Glazer was comparatively extremely intelligent; intelligent to put up with/utilize someone like Woodward. His children ARE NOT. Woodward will pretend to be subservient to them/and even actually act subservient to them when appropriate; they know Woodward is smarter than they, they'll act like the boss when they can, etc etc.
It's important for the fanbase to understand these dynamics at work. This is a very nuanced situation at the board/executive level. Woodward/Judge are NOT 'Glazer puppets'.
Try to think of it more like 'A Great King' dying and leaving a bunch of spoiled heirs with no idea how to run the kingdom with some extremely corrupt advisers.
