If Manchester United move on from Michael Carrick, there are plenty of sensible options for a club who are in desperate need of one.
But if the people who make the decisions at Manchester United reject Antonio Conte as their next head coach because he can be unpleasant to work with, then it says much more about them than it does him.

Conte is my choice, this lot need a rude awakening, if the initial chaos leads to stabilisation then just go for it.
The fans see through the antics more clearly than ever, a disciplinarian who has experience in the league and has a winners medal as a coach is probably needed.

The people united will never be defeated!
Congratulations, President Lula.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe in Feb 2024.
By his own standards and words it has been a cataclysmic disaster, and the INEOS control of @ManUtd’s footballing operations has been a colossal and unrelenting failure with even worse aberrations than those he criticised from before.
Charlie Pullinger retweeted
Could be curtains for Carrick, but the consistent problem for more than a decade has been the Glazers' ownership. theguardian.com/football/liv…

Hope we get Conte, next, he will be like a grenade with these cowardly fuckers. But i think they'll go for Howe and his sidekick Mr Brightside.

**THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE SALOON**
Our club have acted from day one as though the new stadium is already a done deal.
Surveys built around theoretical scenarios, diluting the voices of the very people who fill Old Trafford and have devoted their lives to this club.
There is a rot, a decay, a sense of hopelessness all due to the Glazers and Ratcliffe. They have sucked the life and dignity out of our club.
**Make no mistake. We are at a crossroads**
Act now or wave goodbye to the Manchester United you once knew.
Over the coming weeks, we will lay out clear plans. Plans that demand **ACTION**
And those actions will be down to **YOU, the fanbase.**
Not The 1958. Not another supporters' group. Not somebody else.
**YOU**
You might not like us. You might think we should smash the place up or somehow empty a 75,000 seat stadium.
We don't care what you think of us. It's all irrelevant.
This is bigger than The 1958. Bigger than egos, personalities and petty differences.
**Get behind the action or STFU when the club tramples all over you.**
Stop waiting for somebody else to fight your battles.
Because if we sit back and everything we've warned about becomes reality, don't start complaining that nobody did anything.
**You were warned. You had a choice.**
The plans will be crystal clear. The actions will be crystal clear.
The question is whether enough Reds give a shit to follow through.
**More to follow. Get your notifications on.**
The 1958 🇾🇪

Since 2005 Premier League clubs have had a total interest cost on borrowings and financial debt of £3.5bn.
One club and one set of owners is responsible for 35% of the total.

Hard to see how Berrada survives this too. He’s the ceo of an organisation that has got almost every football decision wrong since he’s been in the building. Apparently hired because he had expertise across both commercial and football.

"Sell United and f*k off home" sing MUFC fans, the only good thing about the club right now.
And it's right. The Glazers have made their money many times over for 21 years. Fans never wanted it and that takeover should never have been allowed. Do the right thing: sell up and go.
Charlie Pullinger retweeted
Current concern is Man City will be deducted 100 points and still finish above Man Utd
Charlie Pullinger retweeted
I’m sick of United being everybody else’s punchbag, sick of our name justifying even greater elation when rivals beat the club I love. How the mighty have fallen. And that performance was an affront to the name of Manchester United.

It doesn’t matter who is linked with becoming Manchester United manager, because whatever the name (and most of those in circulation have previously already been ruled out), they are set up to fail.
The parasitic Glazer ownership has bled and broken the club, putting a financial noose around it.
In 2024, Sir Jim Ratcliffe talked a big game about a “three-year plan” to rival and outdo Manchester City and Liverpool. But the decision-making under INEOS’ charge of football operations has not just been woeful, but costly too. There is zero accountability for expensive mistake after expensive mistake.
There is still no clear direction on club identity, including style of play, which leads to profiling the right signings and manager. That was a major promise made by Ratcliffe, which hasn’t been kept.
To borrow his own words: “There have been a whole series of coaches, some of which were very good. And none of them were successful, or survived for very long.
The only conclusion you can draw is that the environment in which they were working didn’t work.”
It still doesn’t. It never will as long as the people who own and run the club betray Manchester United and what is required to be successful in the modern era.
You can harp on about structure, vision, and sell fanciful projects, but you will never have the right operation with the wrong people.

Wonder which Man Utd player will be fined for telling the truth after this game.

Shea Lacey scored vs Brighton and looked sharp and has had 0 minutes since 🤣

Mad respect for Martínez. The first player to directly go after the board while playing for this club. He deserves credit for that.
Charlie Pullinger retweeted
Was Martinez right to have a pop at the suits at Old Trafford last night?
Since the arrival of INEOS we now have a club that:
⚽️Rinses the fans for more money
⚽️Reduced average first team weekly wage by £50k
⚽️Sacked the tea ladies
⚽️Made a loss every year
⚽️Spent over £1bn on players
⚽️Increased the club debts
