Yup, you could appoint a certain Portuguese manager who's just a phone call away.Oh , so just unemployed managers then ? That narrows it down a bit.

For the parent company, Manchester United PLC, yes. For the legal entity that governs the football club, I don't think so.Could be wrong, but aren't the board more or less the owners? Like the 6 kids, and one or two others?

Nah. It is Woodward, Gill, Sir Alex, Sir Bobby, Arnold and maybe a few others.
? 6 of the 12 board members are the Glazer kids. Who get a healthy dividends each year for nothing.
Such as?
You're right. They seem to be non-executive directors, whatever it means.not gill or saf or bobby
Which is more indicative of realityWins for Palace and Watford today and United in 7th.
Same old shite.Just woken up, haven't watched the shower of shit yet, are we very bad?
That's the board of the PLC, not the football club (which is a subsidiary of the PLC).? 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.
Ah ok, thanks. Wonder who actually makes decisions then.That's the board of the PLC, not the football club (which is a subsidiary of the PLC).

Clever. I just think we should be considering managers who we actually have a chance of getting but sure your idea will work.
I feel for LVG. He's gotta keep his job or else, all his staff also likely lose their's. But business is business.
Guarantee you one member of his staff will keep his job.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 staff under LVG? Aside from Giggs, maybe a few, probably not all.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.
Shame to lose the likes of Hoek if he goes tooWho cares about that? Jesus there all probably millionaires anyway being out of work for awhile means nothing to them

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).When LvG is sacked, should Woodward leave too?

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).
So when does he get sacked? Tonight or tomorrow morning?
