Could be wrong, but aren't the board more or less the owners? Like the 6 kids, and one or two others?
For the parent company, Manchester United PLC, yes. For the legal entity that governs the football club, I don't think so.
 
? 6 of the 12 board members are the Glazer kids. Who get a healthy dividends each year for nothing.

Actually looking at it, I don't believe a single board member has anything to do with football. Loads of ex-investor types.
 
not gill or saf or bobby
You're right. They seem to be non-executive directors, whatever it means.

It seems that in the official board are the Glazer siblings, Woody, Arnold and a few other people.

That's the board of the PLC, not the football club (which is a subsidiary of the PLC).
 
I feel for LVG. He's gotta keep his job or else, all his staff also likely lose their's. But business is business.

the answer to you original question is no. right , no.
 
Clever. I just think we should be considering managers who we actually have a chance of getting but sure your idea will work.

What I am saying is that the language barrier is overcome all the time , pep to a german club , neville to spain etc. Players with contracts leave clubs all the time , if you don't ask , you don't get.
 
Some response after his talk mid week. Get rid asap. All the problems go back to the manager. Style of play, 250mill spent and still worse the Moyes stats, squad moral, player confidence.

Turning into poison, killing us.

Who cares about that? Jesus there all probably millionaires anyway being out of work for awhile means nothing to them
 
Interesting.

Stating the obvious but the longer we sit on our hands and continue to allow his guy manage us, the more danger there is of missing out on champions league football again.

Champions League Is long gone while Van Gaal is still in charge. We will end up mid table at this rate.
 
You simply can't give a man who's gone in 18 months anyway time to turn this around. It would be mental. He has to go now.
 
you can't come out and make a statement along the lines of "we must improve immediately!!!" and then get trashed by stoke following another gutless performance. That has to be the end of the line.
 
We're officially now in total meltdown after this game, will be interesting if the board stick or twist.
 
When LvG is sacked, should Woodward leave too?
Woodward will never leave, and to be honest sacking him would not make a lot of sense. He's not a qualified football man, and expecting him to be one sharpish post Gill/ Fergie was unfair, and really makes you question the higher ups - the real money men and the owners. What Ed is, is a superlative negotiator when it comes to the club's commercial side of things. He's brilliant at that part of his job as the CEO of the club - was a big part of the Chevrolet, Adidas and AON negotiations, plus all the micro sponsorship deals are down to him and Arnold. The reason why United is going to overtake Madrid soon is Ed (aside from improved broadcast deals of course).

The best course of action would be to keep him on as the CEO, but in a reduced capacity - where he can focus on the job he does best; while appointing a competent (this is the key word, not just a random scrub) Director of Football operations who will help the manager run the football side of the club, and act a link between Ed and the manager. A lot of folk are ready to jump on Ed, but it's extremely hard to do what he is doing right now when there's not a lot of football experience on the boardroom level, and we need to modernize that aspect instead of expecting the manager and CEO to just take care of everything like Fergie and Gill did, because younger coaches are a different breed.

Other clubs have technical directors, DoFs and a boardroom of 3-4 former football men to aid the president. We've basically hung him to dry, and that part needs to be addressed. If you look at our board, it's basically all money men, with not an iota of football experience between them (aside from Fergie and Gill - who have other interests to deal with too; and Sir Bobby, who with all due respect - might not be that well versed with the inner workings of modern football).

This.
 
No point in discussing this anymore. He should have been sacked before today.
 
Shit manager who's assembled a shit squad and forces them to play shit football, which he then does a shit job of changing through his shit tactical switches and shit substitutions.

Have I missed anything?
 
33 want him to get an extension. LOL - are they city or pool or just LVG supporters?
 
He should be sacked today, but I'd be far from surprised if he's in charge when you play Chelsea on Monday night.
