Ask United supporters on the streets of Manchester what they think of the job Ed Woodward did for the Glazer Boys as big boss, and you’re guaranteed sounds that aren’t associated with gratitude and respect. Woodward was the businessman who was good with excel sheets, but cannot be described as a one-of-a-kind club boss. Now the Englishman has been offered a return to the Premier League.
This time, fortunately, they steer clear of Manchester, the job that has opened up is in London.
Woodward helped manage Manchester United between 2013 and 2021, he resigned after the storm he helped create with the creation of the Super League, the project that crash-landed within weeks of the announcement of the plan.
Eagle Football Holdings has clearly seen quality in what Woodward delivered at Old Trafford. According to Sky Sports, the owners of Crystal Palace have offered Woodward a job on the board of the holding company in addition to a position as a director. In addition to Palace, Lyon and Botafogo, Eagle Football Holdings owns Lyon and Botafogo, where it is expected that the company will soon be listed on the US stock exchange.
For Man United supporters, it probably tears up old wounds to see Ed Woodward in the stands when Manchester United face Crystal Palace in the future.
