Woodward is a curse on our club

3. don't spend any of our money please

Yep.

The owners take directors fees (about 15million, I think) at the end of their financial year and he gets a pay rise. They're all parasites that are bleeding the club dry.

We were champions when he came in and now were merely a side challenging for top 4. We're not coming back under him or these owners.

Glazers = Palpatine
Woodward = Vader
United fans = Rebel alliance

Doesn’t stop me from hating him tbf

His constant briefings
The way he sacked LvG
His comments like “can do things other teams can only dream of”
His smug hamster looking face
No chin
Believable stories of undermining managers and thinking he knows what’s best

He’s a massive @#%&!.

Also don’t think the owners would actually want him to run the club with one of the highest wage bills in sports for very little return on the football side. Constantly missing out on champions league money. Having to pay managers off when he sacks them (4 in 6 years)

Course they’re over the moon with the money he makes, but they’ll know if he continues to get it wrong on the football side of things it’ll eventually hurt them in the pocket.

wooders is going to come out of this looking great.

"you don't know what it was like etc etc" he will push it back on them saying if it was not for him the whole thing would have fell apart

Genius on his behalf.

Everything goes back to the owners.

Over the past 6 years he’s had a budget to attract any manager he wanted, one of the top 3 player wage budgets in Europe, and spent 700m on transfers. It takes huge incompetence to fail with such ‘restrictions’.

The restrictions may be getting tighter the last 2 summers because of the mess he’s got us in with wages and outstanding transfer fees, plus I think the debt was down to around 300m at one point and now it’s back over 400m.

Our only hope is that the club descends into utter chaos and we have a couple of seasons floating around mid table, it will start to hit the Glazers when nobody gives a £#%&! about us anymore, they’ll sell up and we can concentrate on being a football club again, the longer we keep flirting with top 4 the longer the @#%&!s will be here. We need to completely fall apart and £#%&!ing soon.

Sadly this seems like the only way out

Allegedly.

Yep and even more believable after the thing in the press today about Woodward being afraid of conflict...

Van Gaal would have strangled the little #@&%!

Around 600 million, actually. Operating costs. 90 mil a year. No big deal. Won a few trophies.

Nobody is saying Woodward is doing a great job. We're saying that he has no £#%&!ing choice. Which is why I consistently said that the DOF talk was utter bullshit.

He isn't allowed one!

The only question is whether he is a willing captive or wishes he could just slink off to a standard CEO role.
