It's not just Woodward though. He is just a cog in a machine that is basically not fit for purpose. As we all know -and have done for many years- the Glazers care only for profit margins. On the pitch they could all be playing tennis as far as the Glazers are concerned, just as long as the lemmings keep handing over their money they couldn't give two fucks what happens outside of the boardroom. And it is this total indifference about what goes on once the players have crossed the white line that will eventually drag the entire club down.
Watching that 'All Or Nothing' on Prime the other night and it struck me just how different our owners are compared to the Glazers. The Sheik and his representatives take an active interest in all things club related. They showed genuine concern when players were injured, they spoke at length about tactics, formations, and even the day-to-day running of the club. The entire atmosphere within the club is one of harmony and unison - the changing room when even Pep was raucously singing along with "You're top of the league" to Raz.
And how at a press conference when a journalist had a sly dig at Stones because it took him a while to settle. Pep said something along the lines of 'He is a better man than any of you'. I thought how fucking different to Maureen who was only to happy to throw his players under the bus.
The rags are in a very precarious state at the moment. This season could see an implosion never before witnessed in English football.
Hoping you are right, they can certainly count on my backing.
