Dont misunderstand the 'call' part. Investor calls aren't a voluntary briefing to brag about money. Things like investor calls and even annual shareholder meetings are prescribed by law or company's articles. Not having an annual general meeting can even be met with penalties for public companies

That's the one of May 2017. You can see him talking about unbeaten record in the league, the league cup and reaching Europe League final.

And that's the one of 2016, just prior to LVG getting sacked. He talked about bringing youngsters in the club.
https://seekingalpha.com/article/31... Utd-q3-2015-results-earnings-call-transcript
That's from 2015. He talks about progress made under LVG.
So no these conferences aren't just for talking about social media followers. When he had some sort of success to talk about, he mentioned it.
What’s your point, exactly? That financial metrics/achievements shouldn’t be mentioned in a call with investors? Of course they should.
Who said that ?
My point is, only talking about social media followers and app rating proves we have nothing else to be proud of in these kinds of calls as there's no success on the pitch to talk about, so that's what people in charge of the club think is a replacement for pitch success.
But he didn't. He also talked about the club's commitment to winning titles.
Again, what’s your point? If we’d achieved some “success” last season that would have been mentioned too.
Not sure what you're getting at. No one said they don't discuss on-the-pitch success These calls discuss any and everything relating to a business because you can't talk about profits without talking about the product. The primary nature of 'Investor calls' are still commercial. A lot of the investors are people who just want to know about the money they put in.
I don't understand what's hard to get that I'm not calling them to talk about financial things in financial calls. Of course they would. Bring me any statement in which I said they shouldn't ? My problem is are viewing these as replacement for success on the pitch nowadays, as the latter is non-existent.
To hire another manager and get him to rebuild the team (and ship out the deadwood).
In fairness, LVG did do this, but the results weren't great.
They never said that though. You might have come to that conclusion independently. The briefing even underlined the need for further success
It looks like that for me they way they always bring these things on, but fine, I'll assume I read it in a wrong way.
Nah you're entitled to your own interpretation. We all are. Only Ed and the board know for sure.
Agree. It's all subjective anyway. Hopefully they aren't thinking that way.
Anyone have any recent news on this??
Well no shit.
Reminder that chinless ended our season before we'd even kicked a ball 
I said the day before Leicester the fans should have asked for a refund.

Atleast be decisive now woodward
Having such a weak chin is the kiss of death for men, but he has lost a bit of weight and looks a lot better now.
Making the most out of the cards he has been dealt, fair play. I'd rate him a solid 6/10.

He’s to blame for not getting us a centre back...
Agreed.
Alderweireld would've scored that last pen.
5 years with Ed and it’s been awful.
2013.
Put ZZ signal in the sky Ed.
Yep
I’ve defended him enough but his habit of waiting until we’re mathematically out of the champions league spots before firing is a huge problem. How is it Chelsea can change managers so effortlessly but we seem to feck it up over and over and over again?
If Woodward is worth his salt he will wield the axe swiftly but he will not. He will do what he did with Moyes and LVG and wait until it is mathematically impossible to finiah in the top.4 to save the club a compensation pay out to the manager. If he acts soon the new man can come in and establish a rapport with the players rather than waiting until post season and then next year being a transitional one yet again when we all know this season is down the toilet already.
He's waiting to see if we'll be mathematically out of the top 4 before he pulls his finger out and does something.
We got a 4.9 rating on our app. That's all that matters.

the better for woodward he? he didnt even have time to think about other replacement, hope he has a good hand now
his plan was to replace failing manager in Moyes, what else would he do or to replace with whom to rebuild the team? AT THE TIME Van Gaal was a good choice to restart everything after finishing fecking 7th
I remember Gary Neville saying that we went from Van Gaal to mourinho which is too different philosophies.
Need to get in an attacking DOF and then choose a manager to fit that philosophy. This probably should have been done once Ferguson retired but i can understand why it was not.

3 Successive managerial appointment failures and spouting out utter nonsense that Mourinho will still be backed and we will be challenging for trophies...we could do alot worse by starting our recovery process by removing Woodward immediately from all on field football matters!
Triffic job so far guvna.
Pull your fecking finger out Woodward and do the right thing.
This is horrific.
Nobody gaf how much it costs just cut the fecking cord.

He hires the best managers available. That's not a good plan.
As a CEO you should analyzes your club's situation, the philosophy you want to play and build the team around, with a certain strategy of transfers year in year out so in certain time you'll have filled all the weaknesses.
What we did is panic appointing the best name out of contract available in LVG and Mourinho, while spending loads of money on players randomly without a clue, and thus here we're.
The moment he sacked Moyes, Ed had zero plan for the club and it has been showing. 6 years post SAF and zero improvement.
Sorry but impossible to trust him with yet a third panic managerial appointment. Someone should take that job from him.
Oh yeah, Lindelof and Bailly are not CBs? How come that Pep, how come that Bayern nomatter who is in charge how come that other teams do better at recruiting. Mourinho is just shit to make any but world class players win him anything, let me not tell you again how much he spend during his time here, why should he pay 70m for another CB when it's not even our main problem?? Our main problem is that there is no fecking attack working
I get the feeling Ed just saw that Mourinho was a winner and hired him on that. He did not pay any attention to the fact that it is a completely different style of football to Van Gaal. Plus, he probably thought we would win the league in one of his first two seasons. Granted we won the Europa which is not all bad. But the philosophy is poor.
Worth mentioning that i heard that Mourinho wanted to Barcelona job when Rhjarrd (not correct spelling) left, but Johann Cryuff said no because he thought Mourinho's style did not fit barcelona. Kind of similar to us here.
Granted his style (Mourinho's) does work, he is the best at it, but it is not the united way, especially when a team like Derby dominates the ball. Sickening really watching us tonight.

I would concur.
