He’s ended United’s trophy drought. He cleared deadwood. He’s bringing a change in dressing room attitude (eg - Sancho not being allowed until he apologizes) and honestly, United aren’t playing THAT bad. Yesterday’s 3-0 loss was wayyy better than last year’s 6-3. Also losing 3-0 to City isn’t that shameful considering the form and desperation we are in.
The fans, management and players have to back him and give him time. He’ll bring a change. It takes time, fixing a 10 year long fuck up. Can’t be done in 4-6 months, will need a year or so at least. Have faith
(Ps I’m a City fan)
I don’t think he should be fired for several reasons, we have already tried multiple high profile and even non high profile managers and this has been the theme. Why would another one change that? The most time they gave to any of them was arguably the least experienced manager. Who realistically do you think is available who is substantially better AND would take the role? The list wouldn’t be as great as people seem to think it would be.
It is only the start of the second season, and we’ve been hit with crucial injuries and scandals. I won’t deny he has made some odd comments or subsistutions, but a lot of it is either in hindsight or it is clear there’s an internal issue at the club.
Losing to City isn’t any kind of benchmark, they have been coached for years under Pep and I remember in the first season Pep was there, people were doubting him at that time. People are just insanely impatient, imagine Liverpool or City fired their managers based on a set of fans or pundits reactions. Hell, last season people were hyping EtH for what he did.
The board issue doesn’t help either, it looks like the club will be further leached off of for the foreseeable future. The club really needed to be sold and the Glazers needed to be gone, no manager has freedom and every decision will be influenced by accountants and marketing guys.
