So, wait...top players aren't dying to play for him and agents aren't aware that they can hustle Woodward like a casino?
Shocking news.
Yes, that's really earth-shattering. However, what you've got to remember Prez, are the individual and highly principled mindsets of the calibre of players that are initially dying to sign for the Scum.
We all know that they'd walk barefoot over broken glass to join the biggest Club in the world with the richest history and, when there, they'd rather play for nothing, being happy just to be a part of the Yoooonited tradition and to remain unsullied by the dirty and unseemly quest for money.
However, when Woodward and Co. offer them a King's ransom to come to them, backed up by weekly riches that would pay off a small, third world country's National Debt, just for turning out onto the bumpy, pot-holed excuse for a football pitch, they feel cheapened, prostituted and humiliated at the prospect of being treated merely as mercenaries in a base and soulless machine.
On that basis, being of high moral standards and principled conduct, they change their minds and refuse to go Swamp plodding..........
.......it's either that, or the fact that they don't want to go to a stifling, scarcely better than mid-table, no-hope outfit with an evil charlatan at the helm.
