To counter this though, Woodward would have known he was out of his depth and completely oblivious when it came to handling football matters, and rather than admit it, he just blundered on, year after year.fat maradona wrote: ↑2 years agoYou're basing his value on being a DoF when you say he's a worthless pile of shit. But he's a phenomenal commercial director, he has managed to secure some of the best sponsorship deals in the clubs history, managed the finances through a period where the club was paying out huge amounts of interest and dividends and generally kept the club in money. At the end of the day, he will only carry out his duties to the instruction of the Glazers. I'm in no way a fan of his but in terms of Woodward carrying out his remit on the financial side, you can't criticise him. It's the owners fault for not having a DoF in place and having a team managing that aspect of the club rather than one bloke trying to do it all.bman2 wrote: ↑2 years agoI can actually see that as being really valuable.

What a worthless pile of shit who has somehow become wealthy and somewhat famous through the travesty of late stage capitalism.
Regards keeping the cunt in a job, it does make sense. He will give Arnold a proper handover and allow the Glazers to spend yet more unnecessary money on a frivolity.
He just wanted to be the big main man, Billy Big balls.
At any point he could have got someone qualified in, and continued commercial side, but he wanted to the centre of attention!
