Think Woodward would still plump for Poch. He's had at least 2 opportunities to employ club legend Sir Giggsy before now and gone for outside appointments.

Hopefully Ole gets the job, just not quite convinced Ed Woodward will make the right decision.
Think Sir Giggsy would have had a very similar outlook to Ole, but hard to imagine he'd have achieved the same results.

Yeah I’d love ole to get the position. Giggs, I couldn’t really care less about. Ole has been great so far.
Giggs doesn't inspire much confidence when he speaks and never managed the reserves. I've never felt he'd be an appropriate option yet.
Ole sounds the part, has managed the reserves and won trophies with Molde. He's also a club legend, winning matches and has brought the feel good factor back.
To me it's increasingly a no brainer.
Hopefully Ole brings his own backroom staff in this summer and starts to phase out the Fergie era, Phelan etc. Needs to put his own stamp on the place like Moyes did.

Fair enough. Much prefer football but also like rugby. Although it seems to some you have to choose! Good stuff on the Wales game. I've been to a few but I know some from my home town who have been home and away for years and seen some real dark days too. The win v Slovakia in Bordeaux was a big pay off for them in 2016 not to mention the rest of the tournament. Hope you bring us luck!

United are also prepared to wait to fill the role (DoF) until after appointing their next permanent manager, which would ordinarily be a major part of a director of football’s remit.
Theoretically, that will avoid the rancour of last summer when Mourinho believed he has been vetoed by the board after failing to secure a top-class centre-back considered crucial to United’s title chances.
Others would tell a different story. Sources claim the former manager switched his defensive targets midway through the transfer window after scouts had drawn up a dossier viable options. Mourinho suddenly wanted United to pursue deals for Jerome Boateng and Yerry Mina.
Woodward was prepared to pay £100m for Real Madrid's Rafael Varane and is continuing to pursue Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly, who was on that original dossier of defenders.
Add in Mourinho’s willingness to show the door to Anthony Martial and bring in the ageing Ivan Perisic or Willian – the need for longer-term planning from above is clear.

If true, further evidence that Ed is at least as interested in his own ideas about which players we should be bringing in as he is in his managers'.

That's still Young.
It does seem like Ed has his own ideas which has undermined Jose, but it was Jose who wanted to get rid of Martial and get in Perisic, and then Willian. The former of which we did try to side but didn't think he was worth the amount Inter were asking. The latter had a bid rejected from Barca for £60m.
