🚨 BREAKING: Crystal Palace are closing in on the appointment of Michael Carrick as their new manager following the sacking of Pierre Sage.
Carrick is set to earn DOUBLE the salary he received at Manchester United.
@grok confirm this
From a football and financial perspective, it doesn't quite add up. If Carrick wasn't given the players he wanted due to cost concerns, moving for a new manager who may demand a major squad overhaul could end up costing significantly more.
🚨 BREAKING: Mauricio Pochettino has informed the Manchester United board that he will only accept the manager’s job if they agree to sign the following players:
- 🏴Harry Kane
- 🏴Trent Alexander Arnold
- 🇦🇷Nico Paz… View more
🗣| Marcus Rashford is reportedly among the players most disappointed by Manchester United's decision to sack Michael Carrick. He believes Carrick deserved more time to turn things around and considers the decision harsh.
However, many fans believe that if Carrick is being shown the door, Rashford should be shown one too and leave alongside the very man who reinstated him.
After all, this entire saga began with Rashford's return under Carrick, who placed so much faith in him, only for the player to fail to score a single goal. Ultimately, things haven't worked out the way Carrick had hoped.
Aye, this is exactly what happens when people who don’t really know football start chatting shit.
The club’s been a mess from the top for years.. leadership, recruitment, proper football direction, the lot.
Managers just keep getting thrown under the bus for it while the real
Mauricio Pochettino and Manchester United: a marriage I don’t see lasting. Until the club gets its leadership, recruitment and football direction right, we’ll keep changing managers and repeating the same mistakes.
Agreed ~ the comparison isn’t entirely fair.
Pochettino arrived at United with a long track record of building competitive sides at a high level (Espanyol, Southampton, Spurs, PSG). Carrick was still very early in his managerial career, essentially learning on the job in one of
P/S : And let’s be honest : what d’you even expect from a club hierarchy that hasn’t got a clear direction? Lot of ‘em don’t seem fussed whether United win or lose, long as the money keeps rolling in. and completely forgot the proper support the lad needed while he was finding

Best wishes to him either way.
the most demanding environments in football. Expecting the same polish or immediate results from both is unrealistic.
Whether Carrick turns into a top manager is still an open question. If he does go on to deliver big results elsewhere, a lot of people will look
Michael Carrick is not Manchester United problem.
Michael Carrick is not Manchester United problem
Sacking Carrick at this point will further worse United problems.
We can't sack Carrick and go for Mauricio Pochettino
The board who refused to strengthen the club are the biggest issues.
Hiring another manager how is as setting that manager on the pedestrian to failure.
Who did we buy during the summer window??
Carlos Baleba - who was injured.
Andrey Santos - who was injured.
Youri Tielemans - who was injured.
How did INEOS and Glazers strengthened the squad.??
Don't forget we started this season with injuries too.
The issues is more than the coach and coaching staff.
The issues is from top to bottom.
🚨 Paul Scholes on Manchester United interest in Mauricio Pochettino!
Paul Scholes 🗣️
"Pochettino is no different from Ten Hag, Amorim, Carrick or Ole. What exactly is going to change? Are we seriously going to bring in another manager and expect everything to magically improve?
I'd rather give Michael Carrick a proper chance with good players than keep starting another rebuilding project.
I genuinely don't believe Pochettino will transform this team.
The problem is bigger than the manager. It's the people making decisions above him.
What happens if Pochettino arrives? You get the usual new-manager bounce, everybody gets excited, results improve temporarily, and then the same problems return.
Another manager gets blamed, another rebuild begins, millions are spent and the cycle continues.
If you don't give a manager the tools to succeed, you cannot keep blaming him when the project fails.
Manchester United's biggest problem isn't who sits in the dugout. It's who is running the club!"
After careful analysis, it is evident that managerial change may be required.
Not Carrick, though.
Bit awkward, that.
Because after months of hearing how Pochettino was supposedly riding in to replace Michael Carrick, the latest twist appears to be that he quite likes Carrick.
The people working with him every day seem to rate him. The people wanting him gone seem to have suffered a minor setback when their chosen football messiah arrived and immediately decided he quite liked the bloke.
Strangely enough, changing the bloke on the touchline hasn't always changed the conversation. Maybe that's because football problems are occasionally more complicated than a hashtag and a YouTube compilation.
So perhaps leave Carrick alone.
At this point it's less of a hostile takeover and more of an unexpectedly successful partnership.
Some supporters are trying to organise a divorce while Carrick and Pochettino are busy planning the honeymoon.
United have changed managers before. Plenty of times.
only for him to look at Carrick and think, 'Aye, he'll do nicely.'
That's got to sting a bit.
The dressing room backs Carrick. The players back Carrick. And now the very man who was supposed to replace him seems rather keen on working alongside him.
