INEOS decided not to appoint OLE because they weren't ready to commit to him long term, regardless of CL qualifications.

Now it appears they made that decision because they probably knew Carrick wouldnt be entirely convincing.

It's unfortunate how some of these managers fail to grasp golden opportunities with both hands...

Which high profile Manager fit dey available sef?

E be like say clubs don plenty wey dey find coaches.

•Real Madrid
•Liverpool (Maybe)
•Chelsea (Probably)

Leyqute:
INEOS or Glazers? ETH was the manager when INEOS came onboard.

nitrogen:
The fact is, Carrick got the same players to top 3 and will get them to Europe, by hook or crook. That said, it’s looking like he won’t be the permanent manager. It is what it is, whoever is saying that he should get the job is joking.

Leyqute:
If Carrick loses the next match against Chelsea, top 3 will start shaking and your countenance will change again.

Forget all these ones you are saying. We need serious investment in the first team. Imagine playing every 3 days with this squad. Next season will be a disaster irrespective of who the coach is if we don’t strengthen the squad significantly.

Jamiuokolaa:
We have been strengthening and we would continue to strengthen but I'd rather not talk about TW after 15th placed Leeds dominated us at OT despite the club spending close to 250m in the last 6 months.

The manager CAN NEVER be exonerated with the performance on display tonight - it's just NOT possible!

Any man utd manager that needs a TW overhaul to perform well and beat 15th placed Leeds at OT isnt ready for the job!

Jamiuokolaa:
So what happens before next season?

Leyqute:
Was it the manager running on the pitch?

Leyqute:
The truth is that if we started this game with Magwaya and Licha, the outcome would likely be different. Let us build a squad that is strong enough first. That’s the hard part of the job.

If Bruno gets injured today, we definitely won’t make top 5. Selah

larride:
I agree. It seems we are already stumbling, we can barely create chances at the moment which wasn't so when Carrick started. I no mind if we stumble over the line tbh.

The major reason I don't want Carrick to be made permanent is because of my experience with Ole even though I personally believe Ole is tactically better than Carrick.

If we get UCL, the project might become enticing to managers like Enrique.

In whatever we do, no more manager experiments abeg

Leyqute:
Carrick has to make do with what he has. Just get us across the line. 2 wins and 2 draws from the remaining 6 games is enough.

The funny thing is that we will easily amass those points if we just show up like we want to win. We are too passive.

Lana1:
You'll be hearing from my lawyers by the time Arteta finish dealing with you in May

Leyqute:
Hope we win again so he can resume his lunacy. This thread has been too quiet of late.

Jamiuokolaa:
There is a reason why managers are obliged to grant post match interviews - they are the ones responsible and accountable for results and performances on the pitch. Carrick has also acknowledged the fact that the 1st half performance was underwhelming.

It is also the job of the manager to "whip" his players back in line when performances are not at the required levels.

When I see tepid displays like this from VIRTUALLY ALL members of the group, the manager DEFINITELY has to answer.

Jamiuokolaa:
But this has always been the stance of a considerable number of people here.

The resources at Carrick's disposal should definitely be doing better than what we saw today.

It was an embarassing performance to say the least.

Like you have noticed, how can Man UTD be "passive" vs 15th placed Leeds at OT?

I am seeing mentality issues in the team and chief - that one is on the manager to fix!

Carrick is being presented with a fantastic opportunity to sell himself and get the job on a permanent basis...especially with the percieved unavailability of big names. Unfortunately, it appears the man isn't interested

Me sef no mind o. Even if we roll or crawl across sef. Na to get there matter pass.

Carrick has done very well to rescue the season and that cannot be taken from him. Even this Leeds game would have ended differently had we been 2 goals down and 1 man down under either ETH or Amorim. Leeds might have run up the score against us.

Having said all that, we need to think longterm and use logic rather than emotion when appointing the next manager. If a top manager is available I think we need to approach such a manager for the position. What I won’t like though is not giving Carrick the job and then appointing an experimental tech bros.

No wahala. We await the next manager that can perform miracle

nitrogen:
If you like, sign Madrid’s first eleven, if the manager is clueless, nothing good will come out of it.

We have new players upfront, but the lethargy upfront remains, is it still the fault of Rashford and Garnacho? We moved the ball slowly in the first half after 21 days of training and no game, but Leeds that played FA cup last week outplayed us in the first half. Is that the fault of Bruno and Casemiro? Did we not play better in the second half, despite the red card? Same players o!

With Case leaving, we need 2 players in the middle and maybe 1-2 defenders to support the current ones. Not another overhaul. Upfront is sorted, except maybe a right winger. So, 3-5 players with focus on key areas of weakness will do.

Carrick is just a temp with relatively few ideas. He’s done well, but I would not want to have him as a permanent manager.

Jamiuokolaa:
One of the issues is that standards have significantly dropped at OT such that the Barest minimum is now seen as a luxury

Ferguson beat Wolfsburg away 3-1 and Arsenal 2-0 with these squads but in big 2026, 700m has to be spent before Man utd can comfortably beat Leeds at OT

I really miss those days of non - existent excuses

larride:
Up front is not settled bros, I doubt it that Sesko can lead the line at this club. He might just be an impact sub.

larride:
If I understand Jamiuokola position well, I doubt he's against strengthening the squad, his point is that Carrick as the manager is the one to fix the passiveness with which we play, build up the team mentality and set the right tone for the players.

Leyqute:
Did SAF field this lineup every gameweek?

Tech bros

That's why I said no more manager experiments.

Speaking of tech bros, what do you think of Maresca?
