You can't help but root for Carrick to turn things around after that press conference. But it will be difficult. He must make some difficult and bold decisions, including axing those who questioned his authority in public. This is not the time to be passive.
Speak out against Herr Wilcox over transfer failure: Apology the next day.
Speak out against the manager over tactical failure: Voicing understandable anger
Okay
Excl: Bruno Fernandes will not be stripped of the #mufc captaincy and is unlikely to be disciplined by the club following his criticism of the coaching staff after the defeat to Como.
Disappointment with comments, but wider feeling is he was voicing understandable anger at the manner of the defeat.
Meanwhile, weโve been told Carrick will take charge of United as usual for Sundayโs game v #Bournemouth but there is growing concern among club bosses about the teamโs poor run of form. No plans beyond Sundayโs game.
@ryanduffy211 I don't know what leverage Wilcox holds over Ratcliffe and Co but I guess there is huge internal support for Berrada-Wilcox from those former City hires we made in last 24 months.
The so-called 'game model' has named 3 replacements with completely different styles of football, including a 3 atb manager.
Just admit thereโs no grand plan and youโre winging it & we can all call it a day. At least Woodward was honest about his incompetence. This is worse ๐โโ๏ธ
Michael Carrick goes into Bournemouth game leading #MUFC, with execs understanding a complex job. Nobody is making predictions beyond that.
Eddie Howe has most compelling case for some at club, if change.
Detail on Julian Nagelsmann, Antonio Conte โฌ๏ธ

It takes a huge deal of effort to build a winning team (legally). Lots of things need to go right (recruitment, tactics, conditioning, preseason, dressing room atmosphere, rehab, injury management, etc) but just one bad move can cause the entire thing to come crashing down.
This is the best audition for Fabregas. The problem is he isn't looking for any. Any decent manager is likely going to reject a mid-season Man Utd approach. Self-preservation is everything
Just seen Bruno's comments. Regardless of how you feel about the manager's setup, you cannot say that in public. Often say Bruno is this generation's Robson. Could you imagine Bryan Robson saying such things about Ron Atkinson? In fact, he constantly defended him from critics.
He is most certainly gone at the end of the season, but I do not want these comments (which will get another manager sacked) to be Bruno's Utd legacy. Feel like it will be a losing battle.
You know how disconnected the suits are from the real football world is they approved the All or Nothing series without considering whether it would be prudent to air our dirty laundry to the outside world. They saw the ๐ฐ ๐ฐ and signed the documents. Amorim vetoed it last year. Carrick far too weak.
Now everyone will get to see their incompetence in 4k. Serves them right
