Unfair resource allocation to a select few clubs bringing about the end of fair competition, surely cause for celebration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, with other teams fighting on 3 or 4 fronts it'll be a disaster if Carrick isn't capable of grabbing European football with the squad he's inherited.

Sir Joel Inton Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Some bloke who’s only managerial experience is being sacked by Middlesbrough in the Championship given the job because he’s free, cheap on wages and used to play for them Fantastic how far they’ve fallen and keep striving to reach new lows.

Not even 60 games between them though, and 48 of those were Rangnick and Ole (who ended up getting it permanently and performing well in the role). They're just caretakers/interims until a manager is brought in. I prefer that than panicking and rushing into an appointment. With the exception of Fletcher they were all managers or ended up managers. Not like you're firing in Fred the Red, although he might have had more success than some of our managers lately.

It’s evidence, if evidence is needed, that there’s never a cohesive plan in place. Sack the manager then figure something out later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 It’s clear as say they don’t have a clue about strategy. They have the chance to get a CL place this year but they’ve blown it with Carrick’s appointment. That has a knock on effect to the managers and players they can attract in the summer. It’s classic short-term scrimping that has long-term negative impact. I’d be gutted if I was a Man U fan that they don’t have a clue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyCisse Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Feels like it’s always glass half full, only to be dropped and smash into 1000 pieces every time. Weren’t they back after the draw with Burnley? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the intent behind it is the issue and we all know that the owners and decision makers at a club do more to shape the direction of a club than anyone else. The fact that they have gone down this route is the problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he could even find Wallsend on a map at this point. He's spent most of his life living outside of the north east. Rob Lee and Bez are more Geordie than he is.

KaKa Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Would have preferred they gave it to Ole. I think Carrick might have something about him, and it's a good opportunity for them to explore that. Going to be interesting to see how he gets on. Think he may do surprisingly well with the calibre of players they have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
