The Scottish one cant be blamed on Woodward. With the other two, he has to shoulder some blame retrospectively because it didn't work out, but it wasn’t his fault specifically. Neither can picking and choosing who gets an extension, that’s pure speculation who makes that call. The ultimate decision is surely with the Manager. Imagine Woodward encouraging Mourinho to extend Youngs contact because we are better off financially because of it. That makes no sense whatsoever on any level. We’re not in the current situation because of a handful of contract extensions. Nor because of the structure of the back office. We lost the best Manager this sport has ever seen, then the competition got stronger. The manager and the players ultimately responsible. Everything else is a distraction. Replacing the Chief Exec isn't going to change a £#%&!ing thing on the pitch. Fergie would have won titles in that last 6 years regardless who was looking after the back office. |

Who do you blame for giving Mou a contract extension (a bloke that has a terrible record after two seasons) then not backing him three months later? A further 6 months of leaks and toxicity and he sacks the bloke once the season is all but a bust. Again, all the managers have failed against what could reasonably expected of them but Woodward is guilty of more than hiring people that let him down. |

You can’t keep harping back to Fergie
Fergie wasn’t a manager but was some sort of totalitarian dictator at Old Trafford He made every football related decision at the club He was the last You’re not going to have another manager with that kind of power again The vision for a club starts from the top and works its way down You know the footballing identity you want from the club and then you appoint first team manager and youth coaches to implement that identity at every level of the football club When you go from Moyes to LvG to Jose and then appoint the interim manager on a permanent basis when you had no intention to do that in the first place it clearly shows you haven’t got the slightly clue what you are doing |

Having a player earning £400k a week is also not detrimental to the performance of the team on the pitch. Are you suggesting Woodward is at fault for supporting the Manager? Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. Regarding Mourinho extension, I don't personally blame anybody, it just wasn’t a good fit. Woodward supporting the Manager to a point was not a mistake, he gave Mourinho every opportunity to turn things around. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Do you think Woodward should be supportive or reactive/cut throat to Ole right now? Quote:

Let’s go with your version of joined up thinking for a second. Woodward has total sole control. He picks the pot of players no manager wants, but has to choose from... Then you are suggesting 4 managers knowingly accommodated non-football decisions within the football team. Quote:

If Ole doesn’t want Jones and Smalling at the club they can be absolutely be moved on. The club previously funded a way to move on their very top earner in Rooney in the past. We could sure as shit move on a couple of squad players that would cost a fraction of what Rooney did, if that Manager specifically wants this. |
