He hired 2 quality managers who didnt succeed and has given his managers decent funds except Moyes. Is it really Woodward fault that somebody paid 75 million for Maguire or whatever Di Maria, Van De Beek, Pogba cost Them 4 cost more than most starting XI combined Yes because Woodward is that somebody 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His management hires were all destined to fail right from the off. I agree though he has provided more than sufficient funds for every manager. It's not the owners, it's the recruitment and managerial appointments that are the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 That's an interesting choice. United's version of Chris Feather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a bizarrely high but undeserved reputation I would say it is fairly well deserved, maybe a little bit overblown but not bizzarely high as you say. He's been successful almost everywhere that where he has worked. He led Hoffenheim from the 3rd tier up to the Budesliga in consecutive seasons. They were handsomely financed but still consecutive promotions especially in the chaos that is 2nd Bundesliga is nothing to be sniffed at. Also they were top of the table at the halfway point in their first season up. At Schalke (2nd time around), he won the cup and got to the semi final of the Champions league. He left then due to burnout allegedly caused by media pressure (it'll be interesting to see how he holds up with the pressure of managing United). Since then he's been in sporting director roles for Red Bull Leipzig and Salzburg. Now we can discuss whether what RB are doing is ethical or not and if their owner is a raging fascist or not, but you can't argue that since Rangnick started working there they haven't been successful and that they run a fairly efficient operation. Of course they are well backed financially but that won't be any different at United. The appointment of him as DoF or whatever the official title is away from the limelight could turn out to be a fairly shrewd one. I think that coaches like Klopp, Tuchel and Nagelsmann speak very highly of him tells and cite him as an influence on their style of play tells you a lot. He's a bit like a German Bielsa (thought you'd appreciate him being mentioned), in that top coaches cite him as an influence, but with a couple more trophies to his name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone who loves football automatically cares about ManUre. I, for one, think it's hilarious. Agreed, I'd laugh for 24 hours straight if they folded or got relegated, and I'm a miserable word removed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing the ref did wrong was not book de gea for simulation. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ref shouldn’t have given that. Why would it be disallowed? No rules were broken. Fred stood on de Gea’s ankle. De Gea decided to completely over-react lying in a ball with his back to the game thinking it would get stopped. It backfired and he got what he deserved. I hate this current trend of players lying in “agony” to force a stop in play only to get up and jog it off. Games need to play on unless it’s a head injury to discourage the faking. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 @villa89 & @Genie I suppose you are right. It was a great finish but maybe I didn’t see it fully. I completely agree Genie as they should stop the game if it’s head injury/concussion. Also, what’s up with football now with fans collapsing in the stands? It’s happening a lot nowadays.

It has always happened, I’ve seen it loads of times at games. At mass gatherings 40,000+ people it’s not unusual for someone to need medical attention. What is very unusual is for the teams medical staff to help, which then means the game can’t progress. Previosuly on-site medics would attend to such incidents and nobody would give it a second thought. Edited December 3, 2021 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically at least 1 person should die the day of each home game with a normal attendance of 41k. I know there's semantics around age adjustments, but you get the point. Lots of people. It happens.
