Now tipping it down.
Cricket loves shooting itself in the foot.

Very true the most important element this summer I feel is recruiting the right players to move us forward. Small steps in the right direction is required
Truth is, it had to be Carrick. Pretty much every βbig nameβ option is tied up elsewhere this summer: Ancelotti, Tuchel, Enrique, Nagelsmann. Options on the margins carry greater risk, disrupting current momentum and player contentment.
Carrick understands elite players. Heβs managed his resources well. Played a pragmatic brand of football that has achieved excellent results. Itβs really the only way he could have done it with this group.
Judgement will be different next season. Carrick will presumably have the midfield resources and legs to take more risks, press more aggressively, try and control games more than they have.
Getting recruitment right is more important than the head coach anyway. Blow that this summer and no coach will play the way fans want and get results too. The era of manager as messiah is gone.
