Just read an article with Wenger saying he is looking to get back into management. It made me wonder whether he would be a good choice for our DoF role? Not likely to ever happen having been the enemy for such a long time, but can't help but think that he would be a good option.

Don’t think VDS would want to leave Ajax (where I don’t actually think he’s a DoF) to work for Ed and be his stooge.

I've just traced the BBC report back to it's source - the Sunday Mirror.
Obviously, I have to withdraw the speculation above without delay.

Yeah Robb, he's actually much more than a DOF at Ajax, isn't he? He's like their CEO or something. If United could get him on board, it would be a helluva coup. Whether he's want to come to us, in our current state, in a downgraded role, I wouldn't be holding out much hope

I think Marc Overmars is or was a Technical Director and VDS is the CEO
Imagine giving that up to come to us (the 2019 us) and have to report to someone as clueless as Ed.

Yeah it seems more of a pipedream than anything

Best case scenario is new owners, no Ed, VDS comes in and takes over as CEO and we get a new manager (I understand that last one is my preference haha)

😂 we can always hope. I love Ole. My second favourite United player of all time. But he wouldn't have been my choice of manager and he wasn't appointed based on his CV. I doubt he'll turn things around, but hopefully he is at least setting us on the right track. The football is an improvement over this time last year, even if the results aren't

We already have our future DOF at the club. However atm he's sat in the managers chair.

May have been you that mentioned it a couple of weeks ago, but since reading it's something I can't get out of my head. He has down a really good job of getting a certain profile of player in and the basics of a style of play, could very easily see Ole moving upstairs and perhaps this is why we haven't seen a DoF appointed yet.
