Dumping football thoughts mostly.

Finance, music other times.

[SpikeMUFC🔰 @SpikeMUFC7]

Players are human beings, not transfer fees or stats. It's exhausting watching our online fanbase hound the players we're supposed to back. Criticism is fair. Constant abuse isn't, and they're not the same thing.

Thread. Bear with me.

If Michael goes i will say thankyou, and if poch comes i will say good luck.

Because that's how a decent person acts.

[SpikeMUFC🔰 @SpikeMUFC7]

@lauriewhitwell Ratcliffe Wilcox Berrada are a disgrace.

Everything they touch turns to shit.

What a bunch of pussies Ratcliffe and INEOS are.

Soulless bastards who don't realize the stupidity of their actions

[Laurie Whitwell @lauriewhitwell]

Michael Carrick knows the industry but for #MUFC leaders to let him take training two days running while clearly working on his dismissal, with no real communication, is poor treatment. Carrick served United superbly as a player + worked diligently as head coach. Deserves better.

[Nikhil Mehra @TweetinderKaul]

Also this firing would be the most Man United thing ever. The last 3 games against Roma Chelsea and Villa have seen at least one half of excellent football. We should have been out of sight in that first half against Chelsea. We were completely dominant in the second half against a Roma team that has pretty much decimated all comers this season. And against Villa, with the ball on the ground, we were much the better team.

All season long we have given goals to the bozo gene that runs through a defense that has needed serious upgrading for quite some time now but has always been ignored. That Lammens comes up with two blunders in 4 minutes is not a managerial mistake. That Dalot is always the punchline to a joke about United is also not a managerial mistake. And that our best defender of the season so far - Lenny Yoro - got too heavy a touch on a clearing header is also not a managerial mistake.

It wasn't gung ho football that ensured we had 9 unanswered shots on goal against Villa after conceding the second. It was often deep build up and rapid movement of the ball through the lines. If Amad Diallo could score to save his life, we'd be top half.

If Sesko, Shaw and MdL - know injuries or expected injuries at the start of the season - had been replaced in the summer, we'd be well in this season. There are very few games in which we have played as badly as our league position suggests.

This manager has not gone into defensive mode. He keeps playing his game model. The press is atrocious often and then it looks a lot better over the last few games. That's how you grow. If you fire him and restart, all you're doing is giving Berrada and Wilcox a fresh excuse. They are the problem. Not Michael Carrick.

[SpikeMUFC🔰 @SpikeMUFC7]

@RisingGemsz He's arguably the perfect fit for United.

Has worked on a budget, his teams always work hard, run hard. Emphasizes attacking football.

Perfect gaffer. It's a shame we took so long to bring him to OT

[Eliot Fowle @EliotFowle]

Players have Friday - Monday off & a lot of our squad are away so fine if he takes the first game but don’t think he shoukd be taking the second given we play Liverpool 4 days after 🤷‍♂️

First teamers back in Wednesday, that’s when Poch should be there

@utdreport @samuelluckhurst someone needs to charlie kirk Jason Wilcox

Bernie Sanders, 85 and in Congress for 35 years, is demanding new leadership. That’s rich.

Gut wrenchingly soul destroying what they have done to this man

[Nick Miller @NickMiller79]

On Michael Carrick, a seemingly good man who deserves clarity & respect, and Manchester United, a football club who have given neither because they continually get things wrong.

Before the current one is publicly sacked btw

[(fan) Frank 🧠🇾🇪 @FrankEra_]

Now I think about it, Carrick isn’t the only manager this board have treated like genuine shit.

Remember when Ten Hag won the FA Cup, they spent weeks interviewing every manager under the sun, then flew out to meet him on holiday to practically beg him to stay? 🤢

[Dharnish @dharnishiqbal]

When Man Utd have good seasons (Under Ten Hag, Solskjaer and Carrick) it falls off a cliff after.

I guess the common denominator may be that after those good seasons they don’t work to heavily invest on the right things in the summer to kick on, can’t be a coincidence

[. @saundzo]

Just so we are all aware, Utd have just signed 2 midfielders in a 29 y/o on a 5 year deal & a 22 y/o for £50ms, both who absolutely wouldn’t be in Poch’s ideal plans.

They’ve gone from high intensity coach -> low intensity approach -> high intensity within 10 fucking months

[Savanti @realsavanti]

Carrick absorbed every bullet meant for INEOS. Quietly. Without complaint. Like he truly cares for the Club. Everybody should notice who stands in front of the Club and who hides behind it.

[SpikeMUFC🔰 @SpikeMUFC7]

@MarioCortegana @TheAthleticFC @ManUtd time to sell @Amaddiallo_19.

Bring Sir Bobby Endrick home at Old Trafford.

Pay up as a gift for Poch. Chop chop please.

[Savanti @realsavanti]

Carrick was never meant to be permanent. He overperformed, so they extended him. The data said regression was coming, and they didn't back him in the market. One year lost to avoiding an unpopular decision. Pathetic from INEOS and their muppets.

Thanks, MC. Proper legend.

[Fin @AcademyScoop]

One of United’s biggest problems post SAF has been the lack of development and improvement in all players but especially young/raw talent.

Kobbie, Yoro, Heaven, Sesko, Dorgu, Baleba etc. should all benefit hugely from his guidance & the coaching environment he brings.

Also makes signings like Louis Page even more attractive. Got to be ready to spend in January.
