Why was it brought forward do you think?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To appease the delicate fans so.upset by this dreadful completion, very similar in format to the new UEFA format, but with less money for.evwryone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You sound bitter, you backed the wrong horse
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I back United.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nope. You still don't get it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Get what? I saw positives in a proposed new competition. Big deal. I live in the real world. Nobody is keeping score.

What a moron. BBC breaking news and main page says he's resigned.
Get over it. Clearly not a Utd fan and unhappy he's gone. 😂😂
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He hasn't resigned. If he resigned he's gone and he's not he's staying till the end of 2021. Resigned is past tense.

That has literally nothing to do with what the OP is about
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It literally has
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No it doesn't.
Slightly worrying that he's still running the club day to day atm. Is there no scope to put him on gardening leave right now? Unlikely as it is with the Glazers in charge.
Wouldn't want a situation like in 2003 with Peter Kenyon seemingly scuppering transfers.

The OP is about when Woodward is stepping down. Why the announcement was brought forward has nothing to do with when he is stepping down. He is stepping down at the the end of 2021. If they announce that now or in 5 months makes no difference to his end date.

Will be hard to tell with Ed if future transfers are intentionally scuppered

Would he have been stepping down at the end of the year if this ESL had gone ahead?
As far as I am aware, the only proof we have that Ed always intended to step down at the end of the year, is what he and the club have said. Given that these are the same people, who last week, were still discussing Champion's League plans, whilst simultaneously plotting to launch their own competition, I think you might have need to give us the benefit of viewing these claims with a healthy amount of scepticism. Of course, they'd never lie to make themselves look better.
'This competition will save football' etc.

If thats the case why not resign immediately? Why wait 8 months? Or why not wait with the announcement if hes going to stay on 8 more months? Makes no sense unless that was always the plan.
No idea, I would imagine that being CEO means that there probably quite a few loose ends to tie up beforehand. Honestly I know as much as anyone else, but there is as much evidence that it's due to this, than there is that it was already planned.
Perhaps it was planned, and his aim was to get a senior position near Joel Glazer on the board of the Super League? No idea.
Honestly, couldn't care less as to the reasons, just glad he's leaving.
[Fabrizio Romano] Also Manchester United could leave the #SuperLeague soon. Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw were the spokesmen of the squad’s dissatisfaction against the #SuperLeague. That’s how it started and that’s why Ed Woodward decided to resign [at the end of 2021]. 🔴 #MUFC #ManUtd
No idea how much truth there is in that though, as obviously it's only a tweet
No idea Ed was leaving with all that money coming in...
He was not leaving. The sound of 3 billion spread amongst these clubs, Woody was never going to leave.
He tried this nonsense and it has backfired. The next step now is to get these weasels the Glazers out of this club.

You're being naive Hulky.
He's stuck around long enough while fans have hated him. Why then leave as soon as you get into a super league?
I mean, as much as we've disliked Ed during his tenure, it's never been like this. It's not just United fans that have unanimously voiced their opinions, it's virtually the entirety of the football world.
The crux of the matter is that he hasn't resigned, he is still going to oversee your summer transfer business.
