What's the point?
Yeah I'm hoping this fuels new protests. The glazers need to insulate themselves from running the club.
Not really sure how much they get involved. Do they (owners) make manager appointments and sign players?
That was my exact reaction. No anger, no frustration, just laughing out loud at the absurdity of it all.
Yep, he leveraged off the back of a successful team and brand. Due to his shit appointments and generally cluelessness, the success have dried up and we'll be feeling the pinch commercially - eventually, because success on the pitch leads to success off it. We're still one of the biggest clubs in the world, of course. That won't change anytime soon, but what he did (without knowing intricate details in fairness) wasn't too amazing when you think of the size of the brand/club at that point in time.
Alternatively: print his face on the urinals. Never to be forgotten <3
Disneyland FC lives on!
who knows really? Would you be surprised if it turns out Joel Glazer picks managers and certain players? Or does he just gets a final say on 2 or 3 options? In any case neither the owners nor Woodward really know football as well as you'd want. And for that United are fecked.
I think I’d love to see it - It would be an incredible soap opera.
He's made them millions, sucking the lifeblood out of this club. So as far as they're concerned, he's done a cracking job for them. From a footballing perspective he's been an absolute disaster, but since when do the Glazers care about the footballing side. Hopefully they along with their human gimp doll Woodward feck off once they've decided they've milked the club as far as they can.
Is that the face you want to look at while you've got your cock in hand?
I agree with you, but surely they must understand that you can't separate the financial from the footballing perspective?
Someone posted a skit in one of the other threads that roughly sketches out how it likely went down.
Kind of loathe to post this again as technically he's a human being, (first time I posted it I waited eight years) but people with his personality type and position take disparaging attacks very well - water off a duck's back. They 'take the high road' and dismiss the attacks as coming from "stupid unwashed masses" and crucially they have often built up a support structure that aids immensely with this a-la: "Oh, don't listen to a word they say; you're a doctor/lawyer and they're just mindless knuckle-draggers. Lollol you cretins don't you know __________ has a PhD, and what are you, a plumber?"
The club yes, the Glazers no, they'll still be collecting their dividends, and pocketing something nice every time our Ed shores up another noodle sponsorship.
At least if he was named manager, there would be a chance of him losing his job at some stage in the next 3 or 4 years.
