Carrick Out?

[Mekrel]

I see a lot of conversations about Howe or Nagelsmann, but I'm not seeing what people expect from either. Howe I don't see as a long term solution, if the aim is to win things, although we're about as far away as Pluto is from the Sun in terms of being near winning anything.

Absolutely nothing seems to be working this season. We can't create for toffee, last year we scored only 8 fewer than City. Our revamped midfield has been underwhelming to put kindly and our backline has gone backwards rapidly.

There's some right muppets on BBC HYS regarding if Carrick should stay or leave. Some are saying he should stay, and we should get rid of player x, y, z (either not good enough, or terrible attitude).

The last time I checked, we can't just get rid of players due to a plethora of reasons. 1) contracts 2) depends on who wants to buy them, at what price and do they meet the players wage demands and 3) window isn't open.

Sure, you can get rid of these players over time, but time we don't have as this combination of players + Carrick has proven to deliver relegation form.

Why are people saying "get x in and spend big in January". We're broke, and there's never any value in January. It also doesn't help that we seem to spend unwisely with whatever money we do have.
