Ed Woodward has resigned from Manchester United | 2024: Returns to football

[Simbo]

Convenient scapegoat, not sure what people are expecting to replace him. It will only be some other finance guy, probably even more clueless about football. Best we can hope for is that they'll stay out of the football side of it a bit more, just provide the cash when asked. Not sure if that's all that Woody did or not though tbh.

Do we know if he's resigning cos he was in favour of the ESL or because he was against it?

 

[van Nistelrooy]

Everything continues as normal. Would put my hat on an internal appointment.

If Richard Arnold takes over as Chief Executive, then absolutely nothing will have changed.

 

[Gasolin]

I pray this is us!!!

It is us but who do you think will buy? It's worrisome.

 

[Random Task]

I mean, it gets said a lot on here, but you fecking LOVE TO SEE IT.

What a brilliant day this has turned out to be.

 

[devilish]

Sold 13.5$ of shares 1 month ago

feck its not related then

 

[Hester_manc]

Watch them sell the club to the Saudis now..

I would hate that, but at the same time love to never hear about Glazers again

 

[TrustInJanuzaj]

This is a momentous day for football and for Utd. Immensely proud of the footballing world and the wide condemnation from our fans.

 

[Fergies Gum]

Good riddance to the scumbag. Glazers better clear off as well.

 

[Drainy]

Fingers crossed the Glazers feck themselves off

would make sense it would be the Glazers - they put their name to it.

Be careful what we wish for though.. the only people who could afford the club are likely to be human rights abusers or just as parasitic

@craxmera

Typing with my cock

hahaha

 

[TrueRed79]

Woodward was apparently going to announce his resignation in the summer anyways. The SL just sped the whole process up.

You seriously cannot believe that. They've all been humiliated beyond belief. They are all fecked.

 

[Reapersoul20]

Once again Ja Rule has been proven correct

 

[FootyGirl88]

 

[TrustInOle]

Avram Glazer sold 13.5 million $ of shares on 16.03.21

So nothing to do with the current situation?

 

[Hammerfell]

He's a bigger prick than they are.

Unfortunately

 

[eltigreFalcao]

FECK OFF WOODWARD!! Still a lot of uncertainty will forecome to Manchester United but this can only be the most awaited news in recent history!

 

[90 + 5min]

Fingers crossed the Glazers feck themselves off

Just a few pages back I said that it wouldn't suprise me. Look what you put up.

 

[Moston Red]

I don't understand what this means....ESL in/out?

 

[gajender]

Most definitely. The ESL definitely played a part in this announcement and most likely in Woodward getting sacked. Him leaving basically means that the Glazers are cashing out, too.

That doesn't make any sense at all , Woodward is just a Employee not a major share holder who is cashing out which might be considered a sign at stretch but it's nothing like that .
Glazers may very well sell but Woodward resignation is certainly not a precursor to it.

 

[tomaldinho1]

It is us but who do you think will buy? It's worrisome.

Genuinely. If the Saudis come in, it's out of the frying pan and into the fire

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

I pray this is us!!!

It won't be. My guess is Inter.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Fingers crossed the Glazers feck themselves off

Probably levy. Must already be regretting the huge payout to Mourinho and the massive debts on the clubs books

 

[Affirmation]

This is brilliant, hopefully the Glazer's sell our club.

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Anyway, what does this mean for the pot noodle deal?

 

[eltigreFalcao]

Also we can only hope for an even worse replacement if it is down to the Glazers.

Glazers OUT!!!!

 

[VorZakone]

 

[Dirty Schwein]

So fecking happy

 

[Dans]

This makes a really lovely change from all the bad news we read mostly these days.

 

[calodo2003]

What a fecking idiot.

 

[always_hoping]

I don't for one second believe that he was going anyway. That's nonsense fed to journalists which I'd hope aren't foolish enough to buy.

 

[Ronaldo's Love Child]

I remember when Pogba's hair was the most dramatic thing to happen. I need a fecking lie down

So true!

In the last 12 months we have had a once in a century pandemic, Brexit, the death of Prince Philip, and now this. Please please please can 2022 just be as boring as hell as I need to stabilise a little bit????

Given the period of the club Woodward oversaw and the disastrous attempt at a coup he's leaving behind, I'd be damn impressed if they found someone more clueless.

 

[Ranchero]

No we are staying - super league of Man Utd v Spurs. Oh Spurs gone.

Super League consists solely of Man Utd. And we would still be second favourites

 

[pocco]

Wasn't there a rumour last summer that Gill would be taking over again in 12 months? We may see him return.

 

[devilish]

We should also remember how he remodernised the scouting staff. At least that's what Adnan told me

 

[calodo2003]

If Richard Arnold takes over as Chief Executive, then absolutely nothing will have changed.

100% this.

Except Woodward probably got quite the golden parachute.

 

[DoomSlayer]

What a fecking idiot.

I just thought it was funny.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Genuinely. If the Saudis come in, it's out of the frying pan and into the fire

Weren't they prevented from buying Newcastle?

Ed Woodward was the Glazers' right-hand man from the very beginning. Whatever Woodward did was in the best interests of the Glazers. If he's getting sacked, either the Glazers are completely changing their tune, or they're looking to move on from United. I'm hoping (and slightly expecting) the latter, but that's mostly because I don't know who else the Glazers would hire as the vice-chairman (unless Joel wants to run the club himself).
