"The only problem I would say to Ed Woodward is that he trusts in people and he should never trust them. He even trusts some people outside the club, that’s what I can say about that"

"People like Richard Arnold are why we’ve got money, these guys can make some sponsorship deal like you can’t imagine, so we’ve got the money, but we’ve not got the players because we send the wrong people to speak with them."

"Ole is trying to change that, he’s trying to speak to the player like Ferguson used to."

"Every year it’s deja vu, we make so much impact on social media but the reality is [nothing]. Fans have to understand it’s not that you buy five, six, seven players the team will improve, but at least your main target, that’s what we’re not doing anymore,"

"Under Fergie and David Gill we didn’t have anything in the paper but bam-bam-bam-bam, Van Persie, Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand, everything was fast, they go and talk face to face."

"But now it’s Matt Judge, we send lawyers to talk with players and when you send a lawyer they talk about numbers, they’re not people from the football world."

"The only problem I would say to Ed is trusting people he should never trust. He even trusts people outside the club that he shouldn't. That's what I can say about Ed."

"Before us, Bobby Charlton, George Best, they make the history of the club. All those people they make the history of the club and we try to respect it, '99 and us '08. Just some people they want to blow all this legacy away. For what? Business?"

"I love this club and maybe one day I will work for this club again but I will work with my loyalty and I will never lie to any person who loves this club."

"I think some people who work for this club are damaging this club. That's why we have to tell the truth to the fans."

"I know some people are scared to speak up about because they may not get a job in the future, I don't care, I don't need Manchester United. I love Manchester United."

"When we want a player and they cost say £20m, we end up trying to buy him for £100m. Now those players don't even want our money anymore."

"A sporting director from a top football club called me and asked me to tell Matthew Judge to answer his phone."

"The club needs to stop being so arrogant. There are certain people at the club right now that don't even respect Sir Alex Ferguson."

He probably means winning stuff like league and CL titles. The trophies United should be competing for.

More hassle than its worth considering very few coaches work the exact same way / don't want certain players.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
amazing that most other major clubs across europe, including all the ones actually winning stuff, bother then really.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahhhh. So when we win anything under the Glazers its in spite of rather than because of, but when other clubs with DOF's win stuff its bevause of rather than in spite of.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
amazing that a club with a recently installed manager, expected to be there for 1-2-3 years, might need a different structure to when they had a manager who had been in the job for 27 years.

but carry on in your lalaland if you want, where the decision to hire moyes/lvg/jose was 100% correct - well done ed - and money has been made available - well done ed, again - but either 100% of the blame lies with the managers (who had been correctly hired, remember) or we've just been really, really unlucky.

Why is he only expected to be here upto 3 years max?

Did SAF plan to be here 27 years when he joined us?

Who should Ed have appointed? It easy moaning. Its harder to come up with credible alternatives.

Money has been made available that is undeniable.

As for the quality of the players signed, that's largely down to the managers and scouting team.

And let's not forget, Shaw, Lindelof, Bailly, Matic, Pogba, and Martial are still key players for us, with Fred, Dalot, Mata still.in the squad.

as i said, if you're happy, crack on.

but if you can find me another club in world football that has spent as much as we have over the past 7 years, with so little to show for it, then please do. otherwise your claim that "we're doing fine and there's no need for change" rings hollow.

It's a special type of moron that continues to defend the man ultimately responsible for the running of the club.

Indeed. Shift the blame all you like but there is one constant in this failure. Ed hasn't learnt anything. We will need a DoF when (because it will be When under the current set up) to make sure we carry on the progress made. Otherwise it will be another manager with another rebuild and another set back.

So do we appoint a DOF who supports Ole way

Or do we wait until Ole goes and appoint a DOF who has his own vision?

Or do we appoint thr new manager and then appoint a DOF who compliments the new manager?

7 years into the job and no doubt the w@nker is probably asking himself these exact same questions
