Not clear. He was apparently due to leave end of season anyway and club announced now to prevent leaks.

Complimentary statement from Joel Glazer. Woody will leave end of season.

Personal speculation is because he made his position with UEFA untenable.
Makes sense...
 
I don't buy that for a second. Why would they make it public now? What's the benefit, other than him looking like the fall guy?
Yeah, surely if everything was hunky-dory they'd hold off for a bit, lest it inflame speculation still further and tank the share price. But with our owners you never know!

Exactly. IMO they're just covering it up. They won't come on and say he left due to SL debacle.

The club has been doing well recently and Woodward wouldn't have loved anything more than being credited for the up rise in the team's results this season.

At this point why wouldn't they?
 
All coming out of the woodwork now. Sterling, Laporte. Their plastics will lap this up like they've done the right thing, but everyone who remained silent yesterday is a shithouse.

About 99.9% of them chose to stay quiet.

Consider their position. It's easy for football fans to shout our disapproval on the internet as our words have no concequences. That's not the case for the players.

100%

Wouldn't surprise me if this is some move to try to weasel back into the fold that they just lit on fire, but like everything else they've recently tried, it won't work.

Yeah, I'm sure the consequences for the top level players would have been just terrible..
 
Yes incredible for him to stand up after the decision has been made, same as these Liverpool clowns.

Milner yesterday, Bruno, who else made a comment before it wasn't a done deal?
I thought the same but guess its hard to know what they have said behind the scenes and the tole they have had in changing minds
 
They literally put their names on the proposal mate, not Woodward. Glazer is the fecking vice-chairman.

Of course they can't pin it on Woodward, but he resigned from ECA as part of this process, Prem clubs have made it be known they don't want to deal with any of these cnuts again, so a new face (with the same agenda) is probably what they're pursuing. And it won't work. It's amazing how long they've managed to milk United for without feeling serious backlash.
 
It's interesting that it seems to have stopped at City and Chelsea for now.

Isn't there meant to be discussions happening tonight? We are always the slowest with press releases too.

No PSG, Ajax, City, Chelsea, Bayern, Dortmund. It's already over. Not sure what their intentions are now, to not appear like they've given in maybe?
 
Yes:
Fence sitting:

I didn't know that it is forbidden to have different opinion and a little patience to see how things go. Especially after the announcement of the new Champion League's format with the wild cards. Let's pretend that UEFA is not a corrupt organisation (at least it's historic, isn't it?) and we can also agree with Ceferin that “City are a real asset for the game and I am delighted to be working with them for a better future for the European game.” So what's next? We should invite the Saudis to take over, right?

He was obviously not behind it though, he was simply doing what he was told by the owners of the club. Nothing happens without them.
 
From being maybe the most hated club in the world to finally „getting our club back“ - everything seems to be possible right now.
 
Imagine if we dont leave by the morning. Will get ugly.
I expect the American owned clubs to be the last to leave. Interesting Barcelona briefing press that they only agreed to join on condition that their members (socio's) would have a vote to confirm they wanted Barcelona to join. Basically fomo. No way the socio's would have said yes.
