Michael Carrick was officially fired as manager of Manchester United on Thursday. A club statement that carried no name and offered no accountability. Ed and Wayne discuss a week that has left them appalled with the club’s behaviour.
Carrick took training in the days after the news leaked as the executives who decided to sack him flew to Monaco before speaking to him. The sacking has been planned for weeks, whatever the club say about giving him time. It betrays the values on the back of the shirt.
Incompetent leadership is rotting the club from the top down.
Is there hope of change with the club effectively on the market? With Mauricio Pochettino reportedly chosen by the Glazers, the question now is who is making the decisions, and whether anyone above the manager will answer for them?
