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

He was already leaving in the summer. He's been made the scapegoat. Glazers name was in the statement.
 
This changes nothing as long the Glazer family are still in control. They will just replace him with another puppet.
 
It's 4/20 so being high makes sense. You are spot on, Glazers will never sell now, Man United is still a cash cow.
Oh you just reminded me of the good old days when I used to smoke a big blunt on this beautiful day! Nowadays I love being sober but 4/20 always have a special place in my heart :D

Yeah it’s not a good timing to sell now, and businessmen like Glazers is all about timing.But I could definately see some movement in a few years when the world economics have recovered.
 
He was leaving anyway at the end of the year so this means nothing other than he didn't get his way so he might as well go early.

Based on reports, he's still not leaving until the end of the year. It was all to good to be true.
 
Eds statement:
“I am extremely proud to have served United and it has been an honour to work for the world’s greatest football club for the past 16 years.

“The club is well positioned for the future and it will be difficult to walk away at the end of the year.

“I will treasure the memories from my time at Old Trafford, during a period when we won the Europa League, the FA Cup and the EFL Cup. I am proud of the regeneration of the club’s culture and our return to the Manchester United way of playing.

“We have invested more than £1bn in the squad during my time here and I am particularly delighted with the progress the players have made under the astute leadership of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his coaching team in the last two years.

“I am sure that with the changes we have made on-field and to the coaching and football staff in recent years this great club will soon be lifting silverware again. It deserves to.

“I desperately wanted the club to win the Premier League during my tenure and I am certain the foundations are in place for us to win it back for our passionate fans.

“Our world-famous academy is flourishing again, with 34 players progressing into the first team since 2013, and it has been a pleasure to watch talents such as Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Axel Tuanzebe flourish in the first team environment. In the years to come the club’s production line of young talent will continue to push established first team players for their places. That competition bodes well for the future.

“We have also established Manchester United women and their progress is further evidence of the demand for success at this great club.

“The last 16 months have brought so many unique challenges and the club's work in the community and around the world during the Covid-19 pandemic has been heroic.

“The financial impact on football clubs has been severe, but United have been one of the most robust and resilient in the face of extraordinary financial pressures.

“I would like to thank United’s passionate fans for their support during the good and bad times. I know this has been a challenging period in our history, but your support for the team has never, ever been in doubt.

“Finally, it has been a pleasure to work with so many magnificent, talented and hard-working people.”

He's fecking taking credit for Marcus Rashford, the cnut.

“Our world-famous academy is flourishing again, with 34 players progressing into the first team since 2013, and it has been a pleasure to watch talents such as Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Axel Tuanzebe flourish in the first team environment.

It literally reads like some sort of CV/cover letter. What a weird little man.
 
OMW YESSS!!!!! GET IN !!!!!!

What awesome news to wake up to.

Jeez, what else has gone down over the past few hours? Crazy last few days we've had.
 
No statement to say we are pulling out of the super league though...

Embarrassing the likes of City have pulled out but not us...

Glazers are co-creators. We will never announce it.
 
My friend texted me this and I had to rush home so I can say.... Good riddance dickhead
 
Fantastic. Now let’s get the American feckers out as well. I’ll happily empty my accounts to secure 100% fan ownership
 
What Woodward said in his farewell statement: “We have invested more than £1bn in the squad during my time here"
What he left out: "... and despite this insane investment we never won either EPL title or Champions League".

Truly an epic failure. Spending money is not an achievement, spending that much money and still never winning the kind of trophies that this club was used winning all the time, before him - is a sure proof of how disastrous his "reign" has been.

Good riddance. I don't believe the owners as idiotic as Glazers will hire anybody better, but still happy this particular rat is gone.

Not until the end of the year.
