Carrick Out?

So they are expecting a top 5 finish from this lot. On you go lads.

This is one hell of a play from Ratcliffe, throw the players under the bus and see if they suddenly decide to believe in Carrick and turn this around. What could go wrong?

They are capable but the issue is that to have that capability they would need a good manager and less injuries to make it very likely.

We have a full squad ie. Mainoo, Shaw and Sesko back for the rest of the season and get a good manager in then I would put a fair chunk of money on still getting top 5 from this point.

Without those boys and with Carrick at the helm? I wouldn't put a quid on it. I would be pretty damn confident in fact that we would finish in the bottom half of the table and reasonably confident that we would be in a relegation battle at various points in the season.

Its such a ridiculous take. Either your manager is important or he isn't. If he isn't, then its always on the players and why bother sacking or replacing them with a better one and if he is then our current **** form surely reflects very badly on the manager.

Exactly, it's ludicrous that they've decided to diminish the value of having a good manager. Paints a worrying picture of their general competence...

Carrick falls in line and does what he’s told. They value that over a better manager who might challenge them.

Like so many people who leave United, they almost always find that United was the high point in their careers. Perhaps because they wouldn't get anything like the same position in a company outside of United with their credentials and once they go to United they are exposed as being out of their depth.
