Why’s he leaving mid season though? If this was always planned wouldn’t he have planned to leave at the end of a season?

Just received the c-nt is going. C-nt.

Its the end of the year apparently

I hope he goes bankrupt and sleeps under a flyover

I like this trend of clubs announcing hated employees leaving to try and win back public support

First us with Jose now this
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Honestly, if they announced the Glazers were going tomorrow, there's little left in the way of support needing to be won back. That's exactly how they win the fans back.

Hoping the same is true for other clubs.

Nobody has the power to get rid of them sadly.

There's no coming back from this.

Back to being a PLC soon. Fingers crossed

confirmed by the man himself:

BBC Sport has been told the agreement with the Glazer family is amicable and there has been no falling out.

The announcement was brought forward due to the prospect of leaks.

The move will sever long-standing ties between Woodward and the Glazer family.Woodward played a major role in getting their controversial takeover completed in 2005.

However, after replacing David Gill as chief executive in 2013, he has been heavily criticised for the club's failure to challenge for the Premier League title and an, at times, shambolic transfer policy.

Woodward took the decision to sack David Moyes less than a year into his six-year contract as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor. Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho were also dismissed for failing to match expectations.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed in December 2018 and Woodward has stood by the Norwegian despite inconsistent form.

good to see the spin continuing until the end:

yes, brought forward due to leaks, and any relationship between the timing of this and that of the ESL falling apart - separated by roughly 20 minutes - is purely coincidental.

Don’t care what the reasons are for him leaving. Delightful news regardless.

But United are still a disgusting club. Very difficult to stay loyal to this club with these owners.

“Support the badge/players.” I get it... but the ownership is synonymous with the club, and they’re utterly reprehensible.

Finally!!!

Although unless the glazers sell, they'll just hire another Ed.
