Carrick Out?

Carrick looks out of ideas and honestly why should we continue with a manager who cant make players to run, another match where points are dropped against 10 men like really?

Hope we keep losing…

Genuinely done with the owners, remember the agenda, sack the owners not the managers. Managers and players are merely puppets and F**k dolls for the Glazers and co. New manager/players arrives, same toxic brain dead cycle 🔁 continues. Fans get fed up but their pockets getting thicker.

Only way out here is we keep losing and face relegation. Market price and club valuation plummets = Glazers Out. Not pretty but that’s the only way out as far as I concerned…

Pains me to say it….

What an absolute disaster Carrick has been….

Any man with a half decent knowledge of football knew this was coming. Just absolutely dreadful stuff from INEOS to hire him.

Hot take: Carrick is handling Yoro's & Heaven's development well

Carrick is developing Yoro just fine. He’s not burdening him with too much responsibility or throwing him into the deep end too soon.

He started Yoro in the Champions League against Sabah, a relatively weak opponent, and in the cup against Brighton, a game with real stakes but outside the pressure of the Premier League. He’s also given him minutes in the league, including his first PL start today.

By playing him at RB and not asking him to make overlapping runs, Carrick has allowed him to focus on what matters most: being solid defensively. It also takes away the added responsibility of playing CB, where every mistake can be far more costly.

Carrick is building Yoro’s confidence brick by brick giving him the experience he needs without overwhelming him.

Heaven hasn’t shown that he’s on Yoro’s level yet. He’s been given minutes, but you can’t just throw him to the wolves and expect him to suddenly start PL games. This is United and the scrutiny is immense. Licha has had some glaringly poor moments himself, and given his injury record, I blame the board far more than Carrick for failing to provide a LCB who can genuinely compete for that spot.

It’s unfortunate that the season has started poorly because now fans are clamoring for Yoro and Heaven to suddenly start PL games. But the reality is that those same fans will be quick to criticize them if they struggle, potentially damaging their confidence in the process.

Carrick understands the need to balance their development with the demands of competing at United. He’s integrating them gradually, giving them opportunities to grow without exposing them to more pressure than they’re ready to handle. And I think he’s doing a good job of it.

Worst planned season in a long time?

So you are telling me that the board that have been hired, solely to bring football back into the forefront of everything we do, have

  1. Decided that despite our only striker being out with some freak ankle injury for all of preseason, that we don't need a backup and that 9.5 Zirkzee is enough.

  2. Decided that Luke Shaw, despite his abysmal injury record will be enough depth at left back, with his backup, being a makeshift left winger. All because he had a miracle season last year where he remained fit.

  3. Spent £50m on a backup DM, who clearly isn't part of the plans of Carrick (83 minutes so far in 6 games).
    That money could have easily got us a decent (not top, like Hall) left back option or a backup striker.
    It's almost like they didn't think they would end up getting Baleba, and maybe panicked after we lost to Hull.

  4. We decided to not fully back Carrick, when he was going to be expected to play in multiple competitions, multiple games a week, with an already thin squad.
    After losing Casemiro, Ugarte (obviously not their fault), we have added just one player to our squad depth, with that being one of the 3 midfielders, our squad has grown by one player.

How exactly are we supposed to judge Carrick when he's been thrown under the bus by the board who have spent the last 9 months twiddling their thumbs.

We were told by Berrarda that we had "A clear plan" going into this window. That we would "remain flexible... not allow the market to dictate our spending".
How on earth is it seen as remaining flexible that, once we realised we weren't getting our left back target, that we just forget we ever needed one to begin with.
Where is this clear plan?
Revamping either the attack, midfield or defence each season?
Because so far we've,
revamped the defence under Ten Hag (Yoro, De Ligt, Mazraoui)
revamped the attack under Amorim (Sesko, Cunha, Mbeumo)
revamped the midfield under Carrick (Tielemans, Santos, Baleba)
All those revamps where made to fit that managers style of play.

We came into this season with momentum, and we knew we would have to play 50+ games as opposed to 40 last year.

It is the negligence of the board and owners as to why this season is already a dumpster fire.

If Carrick does go, and it looks more probable than not week after week. The board need to go with, if not sooner.

It's the owners

Understand this game against Spurs was a tactical and players issues and Carrick is for the blame with the results lately. Late subs, poor game management etc...

However, the people who running this club is what killing it. They refused to sign a new LB is one thing standing out this season and it shows with Shaw's performance in some games. Is firing and hire a new manager the solution with these kind of owners?

We need a movement because supporting this club in the past years has been not fun. I love this club and so do you. We need to stand-up to these owner because clearly they don't care for the fans. It's simply their business.

We need a rebuild from top to bottom(board player managers)

At this point even if we get Carrick sacked the new gaffer will have his hands tied with the cheap board and the unreliable players we have but from past seasons we always get a new manager bounce although without proper system from the top we will fall back to square one no matter what manager comes in if the owners and the board are unambitious and focused on the profits we will struggle to get back to winning the biggest trophies

John Achterberg (Ex Liverpool coach) on Man City: "I remember we played them at Wembley and there was a big banner covering thousands of seats as they couldn’t sell out their allocation. Their fanbase is nowhere near as big as Liverpool’s but their commercial revenues were higher. It made no sense."
