If so then that cunt has some serious connections to the coub

If it's true, then it seems the key thinking is optics. Optics are what got Amorim the sack, not his shit football or teenage demeanour. Optics rules out Ole because they don't want to be seen to be going backwards. Optics will keep Berrada in a job because they need to look stable up top for projects like the new stadium, new sponsors, new transfers.
We shouldn't be surprised because this is exactly how a multi-billion petrocunt tory-fancying company acts. Manage optics whilst fucking us all for a pound note.
That said, I always loved Carrick as a player, even if I do now think that era of football was a bit shite, with all the defensive mids and sideways passes top clubs were doing. Hope he sticks to what he knew as a player and fucks off Ugarte and the idea of busy cunts in the midfield. We're playing once a week now until May so hopefully it'll be Casemiro in the Carrick role, with Bruno and Mainoo/Cunha/Mount ahead. Then Amad and Mbeumo as the wingers flanking Sesko. Maz in at RB so we have a competent FB, drop Yoro who is actually being eclipsed by Heaven, get De Ligt back and we have a team that should easily be able to put together enough wins for the Europa league with all the shite teams around us.

I suspect the club has a special trapeziod head receptor that he slips into like a gloveFuck the Glazers wrote: ↑1 month ago If so then that cunt has some serious connections to the coub

Not sure its as reductive as optics. An Interim requires a specific brief. You have to:
1. Forge a quick connection and affection to the fans - tick
2. Be able to navigate the club quickly - tick
3. Strike a balance between having enough coaching experience to have credibility with the players and be able to run a team in the short term, without being seen as a long term option, i.e. the players need to form a view 'you'll do for now, so we'll listen, but lets not look beyond that - tick
4. Provide some stability and not be an emotive personality - tick.
I can't really see anyone better suited for the role, short term.
And I can't even get excited by the prospect (even if its ill founded) of a quality appointment in the summer. Whoever comes in won't be backed strongly enough to revamp the squad, and its likely we won't have European football, so the attraction and revenue factors will be missing too.
Out of both cup competitions at the first hurdle and limping at best towards a Europa or Conference league finish. Which we probably won't get. Oh the joy.
Honestly, the only thing that matters now, is proper ownership change. Protests and disruption need to ramp up seriously, in frequency and nature.

Spot on with the above, it does require a proper ownership change and not this sticking a plaster 20% over a pothole bollocks.
Sadly, football has moved away from being a sport and is now just another capitalist venture.

Optics aren't what got amorim the sack. It ultimately was a complete breakdown with senior management/Wilcox, which would have been driven by the results not being what we wanted, and them questioning his methods.
If it was optics, they'd have sacked him after the league position last year, and the EL final.

Hmm idk if you're saying it was a planned sacking or not. It wasn't planned. If so they would have waited for a proper interim to be available.Jason wrote: ↑1 month ago Optics aren't what got amorim the sack.

His comments about being manager was nothing, it's trivial. It's hardly that controversial. This was a knee jerk reaction which was probably because of some sudden conflict which happened behind the scenes which is why there were no leaks to the press and they had no idea about his sacking.

Alonso has left Real Madrid.
If they talked to him now, he could take over in summer.
My worry is he's another modern systems manager who tried to implement his football at a massive club and failed.
I've said it before but the two megalith clubs, United and Real, are really hard to change when it comes to implementing a style of play. I'm not sure it can be done.

We can't gamble on Alonso. We need PL proven, we MUST learn from previous appointments.
