Why do we care how good he is in accounting? for us and the most important he is s**t at football and he is taking the sporting decisions. He is the Glazers dog and do exactly what they ask him to do, and have zero interest in the fans and what they wish for the club.
Because accounting and general business management are very important in terms of running the club, and they go hand in hand in football.
As per " Glazer s dog and Glazer s puppet". He is employed by the glazers to make the best possible returns on your investment. That s called an employee. Fans are a fickle bunch and their opinions/ thoughts should be contained, not allowed to run the club.
I just think everyone is overstating the role of Ed Woodward. The club is run successfully, hence why we are capable of being so dogshte, and still have the world s most expensive squad.
There are hundreds of employees on the football side of things, and on the board. Just because you don't know every single one doesn t mean they don't exist or play a role.
And Ed Woodward will be significantly more aware of his limitations as a football coach, which is why he is a CEO not a coach. Decisions are made from the ground up, some driven by fans ( Jose and Van Gaal sacking, Ole made permanent), some by the football men, some by the manager.
Also, any company s success is measured by financial power, a lot more than on the pitch. Manchester United FC is a company, and football is one of the many aspects of this company. We just need a consistent capable managerial head to power us through the post-saf period.
In any case all I wanted to say is that Eddy is not the be all end all of the club. He s an employee, very capable by all accounts at what he does, and holds no more power than that. If anything I'd see it as a " devil you know" appointment. Glazes trust him enough to allocate funds, and if he doesn't stay within their expectations, he will be replaced. He just needs to hire better football brains, the ones we have are not enough and I'm confident this will be addressed.
