I do hope they throw it away now, the Martnelli garbage deserves it.
Anyhow maybe Nikola is right for once.

I barely watch football anymore, so I have no idea.
But I know Slotās management has been so poor that any half decent manager could have done better.
Said it after Burnley , if we donāt get rid then we can kiss goodbye to CL next year. Itās at the point now where we canāt be optimistic about beating anyone in the Prem.

It is there for all to see. Carrick may or may not be a good coach but heās probably a good Man United coach because he loves the club and plays to playersā strengths, unlike Amorim. Their squad is better than they are given credit, it was just about finding the right system for them. I hope that FSG, Edwards and Hughes are taking note of that fact.
There are a few managers that have caught my eye - Alonso, Iraola, Fabregasā¦ But none of them were available at the time. I donāt know if bringing in Alonso now would be a mere reactionary move or a start of proper long-term rebuild but I donāt see it getting better, all while Man United and Chelsea have overtaken us in the table by making timely appointments.
Woohoo youāve finished 7th have a choccy.
I really only care about those top 4/5 places.
Thing is he probably doesnāt take them much further though.
True but heās there to ensure they qualify for CL. On the account of his first two matches, would anyone bet against it, especially looking at the form of their rivals?
Not saying he isnāt but your talk is often of Man Utd becoming a behemoth again, qualifying for Europe one season is not quite that.
All we can be certain is that the guys getting a haircut.

And everyone is forgetting they have a week before games, time to prepare, time to recover and less chance of injuries.
Massive IMO

Would winning the CL mean automatic qualification next year or do we still have to finish Top 4 in the PL as well?
Automatic, luckily Carrickās world beaters arenāt in that.

Yes it would and in the league 5th is also enough.

The key for us to become a behemoth again was to appoint a great coach, start making smart transfers and qualify for CL. They might do it in a different order (unless Carrick completely surprised everyone and turns into a magnificent coach). Iāve already said I thought their transfers last summer were great because they bought players of the right type of character, none of those overpaid big names.
In reality, Iām just angry that theyāve overtaken us and that they are going up, while weāre firmly in a downward spiral.
Weāre also still in the FA Cup so thereās that as well. Trying to find a silver lining in the last day and half.

ManUās win shows how to rubbish weāve been this season because even if we played at 75% of last season, we would probably be leading the league right now.

They had a manager actively trying to get sacked for 20 games and theyāre still ahead of us.

At this rate 2 points a game average will probably win the league. We came 3rd in 23/24 with a better PPG than that!
It really wouldnāt have taken much to be right in this and at least securely in the top 4. Frustrating.
