Woodward is a commercial man and, in my opinion, slightly clueless about the politics of football and peculiarities of football and made some decisions that were right in personnel.Moysey (David Moyes) was the right person but was given no time to be able to manage that football club.Louis van Gaal was a dreadful appointment and Mourinho is a certain type of manager that needs to be handled in a certain way. Jose has done the same thing here as he did at Chelsea when he couldnt get what he wanted.When Chelsea in 2007 got knocked out of the Champions League by Molde, two or three months before that Jose Mourinho was agitating and prevaricating and pontificating with the owner about what he did and didnt get and how unhappy he was and getting moodier and darker. Out the door he went as a hero but he engineered that.
