Grew up loving the guy, but there were a few key events that made me stop liking him and I’ll list them for you:
— After he scored against us for Juventus he celebrated and flexed on us? Why would you do that against a club that literally made you what you are today? Very disrespectful and completely unnecessary.
— Then when we signed him for the 2nd time in 21/22 summer window I wasn’t happy at all & knew it would ruin everything that the club was trying to build & yes HE scored a decent amount of goals! However Bruno, Rashford, Martial, #11 numbers all dropped after having 2 amazing seasons prior to his signing.
— Walking out at Old Trafford before the final whistle against Tottenham under ten Hag because he was on the bench?? Again very disrespectful.
Obviously he’s a legend of the game for me he’s the 2nd greatest player to kick a football & he’s one of the reasons I love football as much as I do, but I’m not a kid anymore and his behaviour isn’t professional at all and it’s very hard to respect him.
Protests do next to nothing. The glazers nor ineos care about them. I'm not saying this as a guess, but this is all directly true. Harsh but true. How many years have we protested for? Do you think the glazers give a single shit? I understand the fans protesting do want change, but you can't ask for a change in ownership and then go into the stadium the following hour while giving those very same people money.
It's all about money. Out of all those protests for over a decade, which hurt them the most let me ask you? The Liverpool game where we got the game called off. Why? Because they suffered a financial hit. That's when they cared. They increased security following that incident and were FUMING. No one even planned for that to happen. That was pure emotion built up from years of damage.
You can want Carrick out. Completely fine. I also believe he's been tactically poor this season on all fronts. But what next? Do you really think Fabregas will leave the Como project to work under ineos? Mckenna or Nagelsmann? And then what? They'll suffer the same fate every other manager in the last decade has. The same cycle will happen every single time.
The Glazers have took millions in dividends out of this club, left us in huge amounts of debt and left Old Trafford to rot while they collect money. Sir Jim and Ineos kept them in charge and work with them. But it's all good we will have a new stadium soon. Even on the transfer side. Carrick was begging for a LB and a ST. We missed out on every top target in every position and didn't sign a LB. We sold basically no one. But we saved money so it's okay.
The best in class is the best in class in saving money while United fans suffer.
Think the saddest thing is that no one has an answer of how to solve this in our current arrangement.
We change managers, we change players, but what stays the same?
The ownership. They need to LEAVE.
