If Ole wants or pretend to have any success as a Man Utd manager he needs to be ruthless and get rid of a lot of average players in the squad and identify and demand from Woodward the players that he wants, otherwise it will be another 2 years of misery, oh and the club needs to appoint a DoF asap. We are in trouble, we really are in trouble. it will be hard to get to Liverpool and City standards but its possible, let any player that doesn't want to play for the club leave, let's get players who want to be here.

Before any of that, we need to let Ole manage the remaining games and wait for the transfer window to open.

Quite a lot of posts recently saying Ole needs to do A, B, and C. We’re all in agreement. He will know as well as us. We just need to wait to see what happens and not get caught up in things we can’t control.

Well nearly all.
Thr odd one is clinging on to the belief that this squad is great.

We see it. Ole see's it. And some of the players I'm sure see it. But the issue is does Woodward see it?

Reading the page it's a starting to sound like a bit of an infatuation, should I be worried 🤔.

Some supporters are saying not to get hung up on the appointment of a Director of Football. That is insane. If we want to be challenging again Manchester United need to take the control of the team off Ed Woodward and give it to someone or people who know football and can run a football team.

How is Manchester City, Liverpool and even Spurs doing so well right now? Some with collosal budgets and others with less. Because they spend wisely on transfers and contract renewals. They have football people running the team. Not just the manager or an accountant. Aitor "Txiki" Begiristain Mujika was installed years previous to Pep coming in and had half the team that Pep wanted ready. Pep gave it a year with them players and cleared the ones he didn't want. No questions asked, no contract extensions cause they're good club men. Michael Edwards at Liverpool has been doing phenomenal work with a small net spend and Daniel Levy at Spurs with the bare bones.

It's nearly May, if you don't have your transfers for the summer lined up at this stage you're panic buying and you know where that has gotten us. Expect more of the same this summer if one isn't installed ASAP.

I have never been a fan of planes flying over stadiums calling for someone's job to end but I wouldn't have problem with a plane and a banner saying, 'Ed Woodward Stick to Commercial Deals' before the seasons out.

{Ed002's Note - You don't seem to understand how the club works at all.}

I think the issue for many Ed is the convoluted structure in place at Utd where there seems to be many advisors working at or on behalf of the club with no clear visibility of who is calling the shots transfer wise.

{Ed002's Note - It is nothing to do with advisors Eric.}

The problem is Woodward though. GE doesn't want to hand power over. He's unwilling. Who are you expecting to suddenly move him aside and appoint a football person in charge of football matters?

could you please explain to us how it does work Ed002?

{Ed002's Note - It is best not to as all it will do is give everyone two their people they know nothing about to trash.}

Scouse here, go easy.

You're right in what you're discussing. Football men need to be handling football, but I'd you think Pep and Kloppo just shipped everyone out, got rid of those who didn't want to play for the badge and leaned on a DoF then you're absolutely deluded. We're carrying loads of dead wood, so are City. It's sound and efficient management and being wise that has produced points, not getting rid of half the squad and appointing a mythical figurehead.

Ed002 is not possible to explain without going into too much detail then? If you unable, thanks a lot I do understand and appreciate your response.

{Ed002's Note - Whilst the ignorance of the fans is quite frankly astounding, it will simply lead to the trashing of other people the supporters know absolutely nothing about.}

So you’re astounded how people can be so ignorant, but you won’t deign to step off your throne and explain? Because. then fans will be trashing people they don’t currently know are influential?

{Ed002's Note - So it seems I did explain. It is the cretins like you that keep me so cheerful.}

Ed002 please do your best to ignore idiots like the above. Your input has been greatly appreciated by the majority of us and we'd hate to lose you from this page again thanks to the odd numbskull.

liverpiol fan here. I must say, that whilst we are riding the crest of a wave it has been trophyless so far.! so kudos to manU for picking up titles aling the way!

But, that aside, one thing I have really enjoyed about FSG and Klopp's relationship is their shared vision and identity for the club. Rodgers had lost our identity and you could feel as a fan that there was little plan or direction. Since Klopp has come in that purpose has been common and we've progressed from there. Yes you make mistakes along the way, but the core of the machine is in tact. ManU look a bit like us from decades ago, trying to panic buy players that will shoot them straight back to past glory. it doesn't work like that and manU should really be look at the fabric of the club and putting key pieces in place to deliver on that.

Hope you guys turn up on wednesday. ! have some pride lads!
