The news of the century has just fallen to our feet. Ed Woodward resigns as the chairman of Manchester United.
You can’t believe it and neither can we. This is something extraordinary for every fan of the club. It would be awesome if the Glazers took action accordingly yet until further notice we are glad that Manchester United has affirmed that chief executive Ed Woodward will venture down from his part toward the finish of 2021.
The club will reject that this comes after the European Super League aftermath, yet we figure fans ought to be let choose for themselves on the grounds that these drains have deceived us over and over. For what reason would he take their assertion for things now?
Woodward joined United in 2005 and became the chief administrator in 2013.
Fans got eager with his uncouth ways and there’s not a writer who covers Manchester United who hasn’t heard a huge load of humiliating tales about Woodward’s transfer dealings. We all know now that United will surely rock in the transfer window. No more late deals, no more bad signings. United will be the original United that we always dreamt of.
The news broke up through Manchester United’s official site. Woodward said: “I am extremely proud to have served United and it has been an honor to work for the world’s greatest football club for the past 16 years. The club is well-positioned for the future and it will be difficult to walk away at the end of the year. I will treasure the memories from my time at Old Trafford, during a period when we won the Europa League, the FA Cup, and the EFL Cup. I am proud of the regeneration of the club’s culture and our return to the Manchester United way of playing. We have invested more than £1bn in the squad during my time here and I am particularly delighted with the progress the players have made under the astute leadership of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his coaching team in the last two years. I am sure that with the changes we have made on-field and to the coaching and football staff in recent years this great club will soon be lifting silverware again. It deserves to. I desperately wanted the club to win the Premier League during my tenure and I am certain the foundations are in place for us to win it back for our passionate fans. Our world-famous academy is flourishing again, with 34 players progressing into the first team since 2013, and it has been a pleasure to watch talents such as Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Axel Tuanzebe flourish in the first-team environment. In the years to come the club’s production line of young talent will continue to push established first-team players for their places. That competition bodes well for the future. We have also established Manchester United women and their progress is further evidence of the demand for success at this great club. The last 16 months have brought so many unique challenges and the club’s work in the community and around the world during the Covid-19 pandemic has been heroic. The financial impact on football clubs has been severe, but United have been one of the most robust and resilient in the face of extraordinary financial pressures. I would like to thank United’s passionate fans for their support during the good and bad times. I know this has been a challenging period in our history, but your support for the team has never, ever been in doubt. Finally, it has been a pleasure to work with so many magnificent, talented and hard-working people.”
The reality he participated in a UEFA meeting only weeks prior, to talk about the eventual fate of the Champions League, additionally made his job illogical. No one in football will confide in him once more.
This news is simply magic.
