You seem emotional
Supporters have been doing this since 2014 and LVG signing ADM, Shaw, & Herrera. It has been repeated many summers since with Pogba, Mikha & Zlatan two years later, and again with Sancho, Varane, and Ronaldo.
Rinse and repeat.
He should absolutely be paying some sort of price. He went all in on Amorim, when he had no real business being involved. If you stick your neck out like that and it fails spectacularly then you have to be held accountable.
This is the scary part, but I think ETH recruitment was the worst of any United manager, INEOS got dealt a bad hand. Only LVG comes close in terms of bad recruitment.
It all makes sense now. He was sent my City to destroy us from within.
True. A few weeks ago we were in the middle of the window. United got player after player and loads of fans who believe that a new midfielder and keeper are also necessary had some trust that these would be signed in the following weeks to have a great team. They weren't. Nothing significant happened after signing Sesko on the transfer market and the first games showed a clueless midfield and terrible goalkeeping performances. So everything that loads of fans feared happened. Of course that changes the mood and the perception of the people in charge. While it looked like they were on track everything was fine. Once that stopped, that positive feeling diminished.
Cunha and Mbeumo are as close to a guarantee success we could have gotten. Plus they have been only a few matches in. Sesko has been on the radar of many clubs since he was a teenager, he was a decent buy which may or may not workout.
They used to annoy me. Im glad of the break these days
I barely have an emotional pulse anymore when it comes to United. The all’s hunky dory top red superiority schtick is all well and good normally but it gets tiresome at times when things clearly aren’t and this is one of those times.
No he couldn't. He wasn't in charge of those decisions.
Then i don't get the excessive moaning. Sure, maybe our current sporting setup is run by incompetent people and as a result we'll fail to improve much, it's completely within the realms of possibility, heck it might even be the most likely outcome. Still doesn't change the fact that we're still in the early days of this project, so i don't see much point in concluding that it's A or B. A bit like people were falling over themselves hailing Amorim as the next big thing when we were approaching him, wanked off to Sporting as the greatest achievement in Europe and so on. Onana the best keeper in Europe, so good that Pep had to change his entire approach for a single match and so on.
The situation is what it is, it's not great and i very much doubt there's a quick fix.
Still have hope for Vision 2028.
I think calmness is needed.
You can lose 10-12 games in the PL and still get into the Top 5.
United create so many headlines, part of Omar and Wilcox job should be to make life boring at United.

What excessive moaning. Your moaning about our fans being excited about summer signings and optimistic for a new season but pessimistic when we revert to form or get done by a League Two side ? It’s all a bit odd. You seem to have your head in the sand about our performances with one post but the next you don’t see a quick fix to our issues. It’s almost as if you’re as flippant as every other football fan.
I agree. Feels as if the tactical knowledge is on the level of say FIFA 12 or FIFA 13 yet they think, they are at least at the level of 2nd league coach. All this talk about formation these days it is kind of baffling. To me it all comes from being (understandably) frustrated and angry and looking for somebody to put it all onto. Which the manager is the easiest target for. And even that, I get it, some of his decisions seem so weird. He very well might not be the chosen one, but he is here, like it or not, he knows by now what players can do and what they can't, throwing him out will only lead to prolonging the time in the desert when the next manager has to learn those things on their own. Not like Dalot wasn't useless two years ago. Or our midfield options shaping up to be problematic. Or most of the defenders not brave enough to push up. Or that young strikers struggle in the PL, especially with next to no real service. All those things won't go away if only Amorim takes his nametag and walks.
Sorry. Sack everyone. Everyone is incompetent.
United were doing a great job of it themselves before he came on board tbf.
He needs to go, he definitely is partly responsible fir this shit show.
My manager pick was Frank, the one Ashworth recommended.
Berrada won the power struggle, and should be held accountable.

Ashworth recommended Southgate
This - it was widely known that Ashworth wanted Southgate, no idea where the idea of Thomas Frank has come from!
Did he? It was reported more often that his pick was Frank. If he did recommend Southgate, that I would find reprehensible.
We were so heavily Linked with Southgate there was reason to be concerned
Not indicators Frank would succeed here, Spurs is much less pressure than United. He doesn't have the charisma of someone like Klopp neither, if you look at his pressers when we beat them we can see how easily rattled he gets
Brailsford wanted Southgate. Not Ashworth.
I always felt it was the British press pushing for Southgate. There haven’t been any links whatsoever to him.
This thread has descended into conspiratorial nonsense
It was all to do with Brailsford and Southgate being best mates and whatnot. I don’t ever think there was ever really anything in it.
Really weird he's catching strays. He defintiely needs to sort out sales, but we're a bit hamstrung on that. We'll have to learn from that. Other than that, I don't really see what he's done wrong?
Probably should get fired if this disaster continues.
His decision to effectively fire Ashworth after we waited a year to get him, in order for him to appoint a manager seems like a bad one.
No idea why everyone at United immediately becomes a power hungry tyrant. CEOs decide on the manager and often the players, managers mostly decide on the players to sign and they do weird experiments that everyone realizes are doomed to fail but see no wrong on that.
Except of DoFs of course, whose job seem to be being the biggest cheerleaders of managers.

Spicy !
This isn’t true at all.
Plotted against Ashworth, got his mate promoted beyond his experience and competency which then led them as a duo to bring in Amorim, without a proper plan as to how they were going to support him, accompanied by poor judgement of his adaptability to the league. He needs to account for those blunders and that must happen quickly.
Micheal Edwards made mistakes. I’m not bothered they have got things wrong. I just need them to rectify them quickly.
Not sure why you consider my post a knee jerk reaction because i'm pointing out the hysterics. Take AneRu as an example, little over 6 months ago it was an INEOS success story that we got Berrada. Fast forward and it's all shit, again. It's usually how it goes. It's a fairly short amount of time to be making any conclusions whatsoever when it comes to essentially changing the structure and how the club operates. I think it's quite naive to think that such major changes will be either an instant success and/or even instantly visible.
People are seemingly obsessed with binary answers, this is shit, that was shit, horrible decision to do this, horrible daft decision to do that. Brilliant until no longer brilliant.
Getting dumped out by Grimsby is obviously not ideal, but in the grand scheme of problems it's pretty much the least of our concerns at the moment.
If say nobody knows what Ashworth wanted etc. but we do know that Ashworth is the most qualified person, and we know that he wasn't listened to because they all parted ways. That tells me they need to replace Ashworth with someone credible.
Yesterday’s game is a wake up call. I expect nothing less than multiple sackings. Having the responsibles plod on after this is unimaginable.
Let’s just hope Berrada gathers the board soon and finds the courage to pull the plug on Amorim’s beloved Christmas tree before the lights go out on our season — which, at this rate, might be over before it even started.
Honestly, even Carrick as interim manager could squeeze more out of this squad with a flipchart and a packet of crisps. It’s the same old story: Amorim’s festive formation is back, the baubles are still wobbling, and absolutely nothing has changed since last season.
Time to act fast — before we’re singing carols in the Championship.

Has he come under any scrutiny in the media? He's the one who ultimately stepped into Ashworth's role and appointed Amorim and Ratcliffe then proceeded to sack Ashworth.
