Sadly, seems the only thing that matters at the mo is the New York Stock Exchange ticker tape. Share price leaping. Often a sign of a ready to sell signal. Just hoping.
 
Depressing read about alleged penny pinching. Who foots Jose's bills at The Lowry and is he told to stay away from mini bar?
On a more serious note, if Woodhead wants to replace Jose wouldn't Zidane or any other "marketable" face, if they had any sense, put out feelers and get a sense of the structure of the club they would potentially be signing for? Maybe others have done this in the recent past?
 

This is apparently supported, among other things, by the fact Mourinho has been signing off recent texts to his superior with “kisses to the twins” in reference to Woodward’s three-year-old children.

Cringe for telling the press :lol:. At least we know this was straight from Ed. Who else would be in a position to have info on private text messages? Can't tell if Woody is just bad with subtlety or he doesn't care either way
 
'Woodward denies rift with Ban'
 
Ed should stop these briefings. It's embarrassing.
Content is embarassing but when there is silence the media will fill the vacuum with all sorts of crazy nonsense. If Mou is saying everything is fine and Woodward is leaking (admittedly weird) stuff to the press that is saying everything is fine then its harder for the red tops to make up shite. Hopefully it'll all die down and we can get the team back on track and out of the headlines.
 
Do you think it would be a lot easier to side or sympathies or even like Ed if he didn't just look like a massive bellend?

Actually... Probably not, because he'd still just be a massive bellend i guess.
 

It's good if it's true but this is management 101. You have confidence in your employee until you don't.
We heard shit like this through the last few months of LVG. You can go from having a great relationship to getting sacked within the space of a week.
The only thing that guarantees Mourinho's job is results.
 
This latest briefing is absolute gold. Imagine how much we'd be laughing if the article were talking about Klopp or Pep.
 
Not sure how he made all the way in investment banking but he surely comes across as a weirdo.

Media will write shite briefings or not.

Yep, this is as bad as Disneyland. My worst enemy at work would sign off with "Regards to your wife" etc if he had to communicate with me electronically for some reason. Does it mean anything.:lol:

Ed's been the one moaning about how Jose's targets were too short-term or old in all his briefings and how he had vetoed them all, and now he says everything's peachy keen 'cause Jose sent "kisses to the twins" in a text message. Great.

Tbf their relationship likely wasn't in a good place at the time but did a 180. If communication was this good all along our summer would have played out different
 
Good lord, he's such a cringe monster isn't he. An embarassing man to be the public face of our club. I mean, his intentions here are probably quite good but it's just so poorly delivered again!
 
I preferred the days when we'd just say nothing.

Definitely. As a fan, I could cope with not knowing the real truth but then had sense of comfort that no one really knew. Now, you're always second guessing whether an article/rumours is true, due to all the crappy briefings.

It's all to do with marketing unfortunately!
 
So, am I right in saying that there both is and very definitely isn't any issue between Mourinho and Woodward, that Mourinho didn't speak to Woodward for over two weeks on the tour but is sending him texts about kissing Woodward's twins - a fecking revolting mental image if I've ever heard one - that Woodward has absolute faith in Mourinho's ability to turn this around, but not in his judgement of players - but will, let's not forget, not hesitate to sack him if things go wrong - all while apparently hanging around training like a stale fart? And also it seems like Ed is banging Jamie Jackson.

Does that about sum this entire pissing shambles up?
 
OK

This is getting ridiculous. Why is he briefing the media with this shit?
What's the point in having a manager then?


Every negative thing is from Ed eh? You really haven't noticed Ed uses the guardian for his 'leaks'
 
I've got to be honest these constant media briefings by him are getting pretty annoying.

What's worse is him making footballing decisions on keeping Martial and us not needing a CB (which I thought we didn't need but first few games says otherwise). I think it's absolutely ludicrous he's making big footballing decisions - to be a top team a manager needs the players he wants to get in.

You think Pep and Klopp would have the teams they do now if their owners suddenly decided the squad is good enough and limited spending? It's mad really.

Or it's complete and utter bollocks, I'm finding it difficult to comprehend why you all suddenly believe every word these shitbags write?
