Ed Woodward has resigned from Manchester United | 2024: Returns to football
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
Ahhhhhhh the old ' when the going gets tough say we are after a director of football' ploy. It all screams of smokescreen
I go on one zoom call and everything has changed wtf 
It has to be true now that its confirmed he was going to leave at the end of the season anyways. His position has become untenable, this is the best face saving move from the Glazers.
Everything continues as normal. Would put my hat on an internal appointment.
You are a purely financially motivated businessman, your asset has reached peak value or pretty close. You try a drastic measure to increase that significantly and it gets widely condemned to the point that the country it operates in turns against you and "AdisaOut" begins trending on social media. Do you really not even consider that it might be a good time to sell at billions profit when it is unlikely to gain much more value?
Glazers next
Need to know more. Did he resign because he doesn't agree with the ESL or because he is the fall guy for our owners to save face?
Official announcement at 9pm tonight.
Amazing stuff.
I fear that.
get them cnuts out next
Hmm shit. I hope they don't change their mind now till the end of the year. That's a lot of time.
Ole moving upstairs, Poch in.
Why? Save Edwin for when the Glazers are one. He’ll have no room for manoeuvre in the current setup
Great news. Party at his house?
Hope we're all ok with signing absolutely no-one this summer
absolutely fine!
All they care about is money and power and being ugly. Brought to courtesy of a rap lyric by Joyner Lucas.
Crazy few days, who will replace him? Is anyone currently at the club an option for CEO?
Need to cut the head off the snake. Glazers need to go but the question is who will buy the club?
Incredible how fast this all went.
Football was dead. Then it was alive. Then it turned into Superman.
Glazers may well sell up and Woodward going paves the way!
Could Ed have pushed for the Super League (seeing it as a way of making £££'s) now it's all blown up in everyone's face, he sees the potential hit to sponsorship due to reputation loss, so has no option but to walk?
Woodward was apparently going to announce his resignation in the summer anyways. The SL just sped the whole process up.
Imagine if he was the good guy all along, shielding us from the Glazers trying to asset strip us.
Sometimes the world needs a monster
Reportedly Woody was leaving anyway, so they've brought forward this resignation to give us all something to celebrate while our owners fade back into the background.
Genuinely the best football news I’ve heard in years!
Has he resigned because he was in favour of the super league which now seems unlikely to happen or resigned in protest against the super league?

This cretin resigning is the best bit of summer business we could ask for tbh, I'd take it.Hope we're all ok with signing absolutely no-one this summer
I really hope your'e right.
When you that much money you give zero fecks about what anyone thinks of you
Oh my fecking god!
I lied before, this is the biggest win of the season!
I just hope he isn't being used as a scapegoat and this is a sign of the ends for the glazer ownership!
Congratu-fecking-lations to every United fan around the world.
