Nah I think a lot of the criticism towards the Glazers and Woodward is warranted. The Glazers have pulled out over a billion dollars from the club in a decade and have left us in a lot of debt.I really think you guys blame the Glaziers & Woodward way too much. You make it sound like that they don't back the manager, which is complete bullshit.
But in the past 4 years or so they have finally invested money back into the club and Woodward has wasted most of it. Woodward spent years just chasing the big name players instead of building an actual team. Thats purely the clubs fault for giving him that power.
Over the years we have wasted money on players like Rojo, Mkhitaryan, Schneiderlin, Dalot, Fred, Bailly, Lukaku etc etc
The managers dont get as much as a say as you think they do. Mourinho asked for Maguire when he was available for less than 40m but Woodward spent all transfer window chasing Varane for 100m to only end up with no one and then spend 75 million on Maguire a year later.
The mismanagement of the team is so evident in games like today where we had AWB out and Greenwood on the bench and we had to roll out with Fosu-Mensah and James, two players that should be on the fridges of the squad and not starting.
