I got told about an hour ago from someone at Talksport that he'd gone and I didn't believe it, because my understanding was he used to work for JP Morgan so the sorting the funding I'd imagine largely came from him.

Well now the whole thing is toppling down it makes sense.

I said it earlier in the thread, good things will somehow come from this.

[Whiskey]

Glazers next!

[Rick]

Hopefully the likes of FSG & Kroenke are hounded out of these clubs. 

[Stan]

That is huge if Woodward has resigned.

Let's address the latest elephant in the room.

Why are you friends with Adrian Durham?

Watch what happens next

 Was expecting a climb down, most definitely. I am certain this is a smokescreen for something else. The Champions League changes have been agreed, that went unnoticed, and those changes are pretty crap, too. 

I was expecting the odd resignation, not Woodward though. This’ll be interesting. 

[Redcanuck]

There are claims that he was going to leave at the end of the year and this has nothing to do with the ESL.  Not sure I believe that though.

[Cicero]

Aye just like Mourinho refused to train the players through protest. 

[Bluebird Hewitt]

Heard @DeadLinesman and @CaaC (John) are devasted. 

[Pyfish+]

Devastating news for Manchester United...  

[ScoRoss]

Will leave at the end of the year

[Dr. Gonzo]

So he's just leaving when he was planning on leaving in the first place & this is a bit of a non-story?

[Honey Honey]

Who are ya? Who are ya? Who are ya?

[DeadLinesman]

I’m hoping those American cunts were waiting for the ESL to take off. Now it’s dead, just sell up and fuck off.

Sell to who?

Nationalise football now! Current owners can be paid whatever they paid for the club in the first place. That's fair. No loss to them. So in Glaziers case they receive £0.

UK government seem to be backing down on regulation now though. As big a bunch of coward as Chelsea and Man City.

Sort of face the same dilemma Liverpool would face if FSG are forced out:

pretty much anyone that can afford to own Manchester United is likely to be an absolute piece of shit, who'd likely jump at the next opportunity to start a super league type thing.

Don't get me wrong, I hope the Glazers get the fuck out of English football ASAP. And I hope FSG follow. But the grass isn't always greener - Freddy Shepherd was a dickhead at Newcastle, but what came after was pretty fucking bad too.
