Forgive me on this Sunday morning - I often get asked for a full list of the books I’ve written so I’m going to list them here for anyone interested.

I was on CNN talking about the latest at @ManUtd last night.
Reaction from Old Trafford as another manager faces the end

Another dreadful afternoon at Old Trafford. On the 1878, @WayneSBarton reflects on what could be the end for Michael Carrick.
What will that really achieve though? Surely if anyone really wants Conte, they’d want him in a couple of years, hopefully after the finances are better or owners go. He couldn’t succeed with these players or owners, as defeatist as that sounds.
Replying to @WayneSBarton
What’s the alternative? Every manager in the world will be a disaster. Even Pep, Klopp or Enrique. It’s always going to end the same with the ownership we have. We just have to admit getting someone in to give these players a good kick up the arse is needed.
Early rumbles after Como was that Nagelsmann was favourite, but now it’s Howe, being pushed by Wilcox and liked by Ratcliffe.
Complete madness that he can just continue picking managers after being involved in some of the worst decisions in our history.
Replying to @WayneSBarton @ManUtd
Is there any sense that Wilcox might get the chop? Feels weird that he'll get to pick another manager.
You clearly have no idea about the emotional and generational bond that exists for supporters and their relationship with the club and going to the games. It’s ok that you don’t understand, I’m not judging that, but don’t judge those who go for what they do when you do much less.
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.
No, having a debt leveraged against your club will do that. Nothing to do with overspending. You really could do with being educated on this.
Obviously you can’t ’get them’ to sell. Ratcliffe said he’d walk if he was ever as unpopular as the Glazers. They’ve destroyed the club, pillaged it and stripped it even more. He’s definitely as unpopular now. He won’t make them a force in his lifetime.
Replying to @WayneSBarton @ManUtd
So how do you get them to sell? We can sing 'Glazers out' as long as you want. Without some direct action from match going support, we're never getting rid. Unfortunately can't see a full on boycott of the match happening. Too many tourists 🤷
At the very least, when they announce the statements of Carrick leaving tomorrow, it should be matched with loud and public apologies from Ratcliffe, the Glazers, Wilcox and co for what they have done to the club. Don’t pretend it’s just the manager’s fault. An utter disgrace.
At one point just before 3-0, the ball went out of play. Right in front of us, Bruno looked over from warming up, saw he wasn’t coming on and shook his head in annoyance. Lovely stuff.
They are going to sack the manager, and the manager can’t survive this. He’s not been good enough this season.
But this will never get better while INEOS and the Glazers are in situ.
For the good of @ManUtd, they must now begin to relinquish their ownership of the club.
