He'll go to Man Utd. - the second most valuable club globally - as DOF and he will go there on merit, because people in the business of football understand his prominent talent.

If he does join United it might clear up why we paid £20m for a reserve keeper from them!

I lifted this off the bbc's gossip site via the Independent . . . Sir Jim Ratcliffe admires former Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards and is keen on him being part of Manchester United's revamped football operations as the British billionaire's acquisition of 25% of the Red Devils edges closer. (Independent)
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Aside from Fergie's recommends as another canny Glaswegian? He's been at Selhurst under 4 different Chairman as player, manager, coach, DoF for nearly 30 years and through a scenario where club nearly ceased operating yet, people want to call him a traitor or incompetent because he left for another management role?! Shake my head in disbelief. Just doesn't happen in the pragmatic real business world, only in the overly sentimental world of football.

Personally - I don't think he's a traitor or anything like that. I wasn't happy when he left originally but also recognise that that's football. I don't think he's been that good with our transfers. At best, below average would be my own rating of our transfers over the years.

I doubt he will go but he is turning up interesting players on a modest budget and also helping a good playing culture at CPFC...something Man U are desperate to change.
