Who do you want as Director of Football

We'll be asking them to do half the job they normally do, because Ed still wants control.

Probably tbf.

Could be beacause the glazers are looking to sell up too?

Precisely the point I've always made.

They want a 'no value' DOF. Which will be career suicide for whomever takes the role on.

That lad we nabbed from Italy soon £#%&!ed off. To Russia no less!

They do not want to spend money, so no chance they want to hire someone who will call them out on what they are, penny pinching leeching @#%&!s........

People tend only to remember the big spending seasons. But Ed and co plan transfer budgets over many seasons.

Feast and famine.

We're averaging 90m net spend a season since Freg. If you had a DOF who knew in advance that he had that precise sum to spend, then it could work.

But no. We have to keep up the pretence that we can break the bank whenever we choose! Facebook fans love it. Fits the journo's narrative of 'big bad United'.

Mou was left in the dark last summer. We all saw it coming.

Good stats / research cream.....

So going off that it looks like we're in a splash year.....



Let's go.

Actually no, we had two consecutive bumper spends just previous to last summer.

Soz m8.

I bet they appoint somebody already at the club. Probably somebody we've never heard of and one of Woodys money mongs.

Stop £#%&!ing about with journos and buy us you oil @#%&!s !

It all relates to top 4. The feasts are when they miss out and need to get back in so sponsorship clauses don’t kick in. The famine is when they feel top 4 is assured in the coming season, such as last summer after finishing second. Zero footballing ambition. It’s all financial. The only footballing ambition rests within becoming more efficient with what they do spend on transfers, and getting a larger return for the investment.

A woodward stooge. Probably another banker from down the club’s pecking order. I’d be amazed if it’s a decision in the best footballing interests of the club. It will be in the interests of woodward and finance.

Shambles that this hasn't been done already.

Season over in a month and this position theyve spoken about for a couple of years remains unfilled. Just £#%&! off you incompetent @#%&!s.

In keeping with everyone else charged with running united, he’ll probably be a liverpool fan.

The 38-year old, from the Denton suburb of Manchester, is credited with unearthing talents including Sadio Mane, Dusan Tadic and Graziano Pelle at Southampton - and Toby Alderweireld, Dele Alli and Kieran Trippier when reunited with Mauricio Pochettino at Spurs.

Denton?

Bert then

Can't risk him filling the squad with overpriced wasters.

City fan then. Run by liverpoool and city fans, and we wonder why we’re shit.

As if we'd allow that to happen...

I'd like to see David Jason of only Fools and Horses fame, but only because Ronnie Corbett is dead.
