Yes, its so hard to sell something popular. Its not like theres a million hangers on and clambering to stay relevant by hitching their wagons to whatever has the most mass appeal.

Hes doing his job by under cutting his managers? Hes doing his job by paying more than is required? Hes doing his job by giving bumper contracts to people still in the middle of a contract even thought theres no demand for them? And then sacking them with in a few months so they get a huge pay day...Oh yeah, hes doing his job alright...badly. Ed doesnt listen to anyone, thats his problem. He goes from one plaster to another, throwing shit at the wall hoping something sticks. He buys players based on marketability instead of where the fit in the squad. This is why we have seen more than just Ole struggle to field players that they were supposedly after. They dont know how to use them as they never wanted them.
As I said, massive naivety where commercial terms of global brands are concerned.
So you think he deliberately ruined Woody's big day? Interesting.
sure, blame it on Woodward. If he's penny pinching he's a glazer leech, if he's paying top dollars for the manager's target he's wasting money.
He just can't win. When it's dross it's Ed. 2 years ago we're singing how wonderful Ole at the wheel with this "Astute signing"
Keep moving them goalpost. He must have secretly mind controlling ole to give Mata a new contract.
Do you honestly thinks Zlatan doesn't know he's singing for United? Like seriously doesn't have any clue? What do you think happened here? That his agent signs him with United without his consent? Negotiating salary etc without him knowing?
That'll teach them pesky footballers. Don't mess with Ed the Great.Ed got his revenge by deducting £1 from Zlatans salary
I applaud him for that if true. At least he is honest he hasn't the know how and we might work better as a club in the future, compared with Woodward who thought he was Fergie when he was really phony
I hope he had something like this planned for Zlatan
Imagine woodward doing this.
So at least Marc Overmars isn't going anywhere any time soon...
I don't think they have enough security for what would come next.
Anyone miss the leaks saying how we're looking at a DoF and after X Y and Z player after a shit performance rather than all these players leaking they want to leave?
Don't it always seem to go, you don't know what you got til it's gone.

This is really funny in retrospect.
Looks like he's about to profit off the sale.
cnut.
Hope this banker is not plotting another takeover with some consortium or individual out there to buy Man Utd and make himself CEO again.
they didn’t give the cnut many shares then, the tight bastards
I doubt he wants the job. Alot of public criticism and presumably not much more money than he got already.
A position far, far away from football. The best place for him because he was pretty awful at it.
Great news if you work there though going forward. You can underperform or do the bare minimum and still be rewarded with a pay rise!

We can do things other charity's can only dream of.
When those kids see Ed Woodward on the board of trustees that’s gonna send some shivers down the spine.
Bloomsbury Football Foundation is like a Disneyland for kids
"Iiiiiii'mmm back! And I'm better than ever!"
I heard they were going to do a formal TV interview from Australia but he had to leave to conduct urgent charitable business.
Watch this space.
I really hope it is a positive thing for youngsters but the cynic in me is thinking this has the smell of a big money grift. He ain't doing this for free i'm sure.
Miss the handsome bastard already
Yeah my thoughts exactly. He doesn't strike me as the most charitable type.
Hope he won't messed up the charity!
Somehow Woodward returned.
Glory Glory Bloomsbry
Ah, the war chest is available again.
I miss abusing Woodward
he should banned from football for the damage he has done to Man United. I'm not trying to be funny.
All jokes aside, Bloomsbury Football Foundation is class. Typical of Woodward to try and whitewash his reputation by being involved the cnut.
I hope he's better at this job.
