They aren't waiting for anyone. That would be crediting them with foresight, a plan.
This is a comedy: we have a temp making way for an interim making way for a permanent manager.
What tends to happen at the club is we inch our way to mediocrity.
Agreed. They have installed Carrick because they have no idea what to do or who to appoint.
Somebody reading this would think it's a joke, but it's actually true and shows how incompetent this board is.
Like he helped Ole at the beginning and at the end. What are we a babysitting club for managers and interims now.
It's only interim.
I also don’t know what people expect when we have a game on Tuesday. Who’s gonna help him, the dinner lady?
Either of these two would work for me. Anyone else I would say the club has lost the plot. Wait till the end of the season if necessary. Menawhile we MUST buy a DM in January.
They expect that the club sack all of them which is of course silly.
The other members of the coaching team maybe.
There has always been a plan - just not one that involves winning football games. Which has turned out to be more of a flaw that envisaged.
Maybe it's for a statement, sending a message or not sending the message keeping him would give.
Sure but that would require having a competent board or structure in place and we all know that isn't the case.
I reckon they will stick with the same formation and tactics for now as theres not really much time to implement anything massively different. Not saying thats right but anyone expecting a radical new formation and tactics is probably being a bit too hopeful.
That's unlikely though. I really think that some fans should pay more attention to other clubs, the SAF era didn't give United fans much perspective about the world of Football. If you give the caretaking job to Carrick he is going to keep some of the current members, he isn't going to pick people from the U23 or U18 because he doesn't have a work relationship with them and it's unlikely that he has a personal relationship with them either. Particularly during the first days/weeks.

Then what is the point in sacking Ole until we actually have somebody lined up?
I was thinking the same.
Let’s not get silly. The club have acted and now we need to get this game out of the way. Then we will see
Club needs new direction, yes but coaches plays insignificant role in taking the club in new direction. It's the manager who does it.
Because they had to do something after yesterday’s fiasco.
Like against Liverpool and City.
If there was a plan Carrick wouldn't be in charge for "forthcoming games" [that's more than one]which is as open-ended as it gets. So that means he will be there for Chelsea. Utter farce.
No that's not true at all.
I think so too and he might he even be kicking himself because he's not likely to get more than a year at Watford.
We could have an issue behind the scene with some players openly against the manager's decisions? We could be close to bring someone but that someone doesn't want to take care of the game against Villarreal and would prefer to have more than a day with the team? The board could be a bit dim? Or all of these suggestions are true.
Yes the problems at Old Trafford are systemic. They stem from having a board that don't understand football, are steeped in American football and have been responsible for creating a culture of 'learning on the job' amateurishness.
