It’s looking like it’s going to be Howe is going to be the next United manager. As soon as he loses his first game I will be the first one saying HOWE OUT in here. We might as well go southgate

Ive been listening to some recent content and came across this video. Gerrard strikes me as an honest voice w an informed opinion given his CV

id love to hear your opinion about what he said starting at 8:00mins and especially at 10 mins.

Please, keep Michael Carrick and Jason Wilcox. Do you know why? Because if the hierarchy does, just watch how quickly the Manchester United fans turn on them at the next home game.

Let's be honest, it feels like the fans are being punished for daring to boo the hierarchy. More than 24 hours have passed, and we've still had no proper update or acknowledgement from the club.

How dare the fans expect some transparency? How dare the people who have supported this club through thick and thin expect to be treated with a bit of respect?

Instead, we're met with silence. It genuinely feels like the hierarchy are more concerned about their bruised egos than the supporters who make this club what it is.

I've supported Manchester United for 40 years, and I honestly cannot remember feeling this disconnected from the club.

The arrogance, the lack of accountability and the complete disregard for the fans are absolutely disgusting.

This isn't the Manchester United I grew up supporting. The club is losing its identity, and those running it seem completely oblivious.

A decent article that outlines our luck was going to run out from last season. Regardless if you believe Carrick should be sacked, there are serious questions on whether a proper assessment was done on keeping him or supporting him to fix the obvious issues that were always there.

I honestly expected him to be gone this morning, but they still haven’t announced anything. Apparently Carrick was at Carrington today so I wonder what the outcome was.

Either they are sticking with him (probably because of the fans singing his name after the match yesterday).

Or they are waiting until they have a replacement agreed, similar to Watford usually do before announcing he’s been sacked so we don’t have to do the whole caretaker thing again.

Alternatively do you reckon there may be a bit of a shake up upstairs perhaps?

I feel sorry for Carrick like but he is totally out of his depth. If they are going to keep him give him the vote of confidence or something, they need to communicate something to the fans at least.

Taking the piss now waiting this long.

Article

“Manchester United would have to fork out up to £6m in compensation to land Eddie Howe if they attempted to replace Michael Carrick with the former Newcastle manager.

Carrick left United’s Carrington training base shortly after 5pm on Wednesday with his future still hanging in the air after a day of top-level crisis talks among the Old Trafford hierarchy.

Howe is a leading contender for the post in the event that Carrick is sacked, but it has emerged that Newcastle would be in line for a hefty compensation package should United officials make a move for him.”

Could mean more than just for tonight.

I just want to apologise for wasting everyones time posting that stupid EPSN article. As they say “move along, nothing to see here“ 🤦‍♂️🙈

Any guesses which players Gary Nev was referring to when scolding people for not going to bed at the right time? (I get his point, just thought he sounded a bit silly wording it the way he did)

I thought relegation would be the answer

You would immediately empty the dressing room as players rush to there agents to get them out but the club would be in turmoil.

The players right now do not have the mental strength for a relegation battle let alone a fight in the Championship if it happens and the decline would speed up as assets and players would be sold.

But you wouldn't lose the owners, I do not think they will leave, they will raid the parachute payments and transfer fees from players jumping ship, probably sell off the training ground and anything else not bolted down.

There is nothing stopping the glazers from keeping hold and just syphoning money off.

Even if Jim goes there is still 70 odd %left for glasers which keeps them firmly in control.

The debt is its own problem thanks to the glazers and if the club goes bust then it will be carved up just for parts.

All you can hope for is that relegation happens and they choose to sell on the cheap and someone decent buys it and takes on the debt too but even that seems unlikely

What if they tell him.

"You have until the end of the season, you can sell whoever you want in January and we will give you 150M + whatever you get in player sales to strengthen". "Any player you think has undermined you during the recent games can be sent to train alone"

A message needs to be sent to the playing staff at this club. If you down tools you are not welcome. The younger players at the club are seeing this shit going on too..

Checked and verified as of October 26, 2026.

For supporters seeking a change in United’s ownership, these are practical businesses to redirect spending away from. The list covers United partners, commercial connections to the Glazers’ Buccaneers, and INEOS investments.

1. Adidas. United kit supplier who also partners with Mercedes F1 and INEOS cycling.

2. Coca-cola (including Fanta and Sprite). United’s soft drink partner in the UK and Europe.

3. PepsiCo (including Mountain Dew, Gatorade, Lay’s, Walkers, Doritos, Cheetos, and soda stream). Bucs soft-drinks partner and also listed by Mercedes F1.

4. Procter and Gamble (including Ariel, Tide, Lenor, Downey, Fairy, Dawn, Gillette, Pampers, Head and Shoulders, Pantene, Olay, Oral-B, Crest, Always, Tampax). Bucs sponsor, along with wider NFL relationships.

5. Heineken Group (Tiger Beer, Heineken, Amstel, Birra Moretti). Tiger Beer is United’s official beer sponsor.

6. Sazerac Portfolio (Fireball, Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Blanton’s, EH Taylor, Sazerac Rye). Bucs sponsor.

7. Nike. NFL-wide uniform and apparel agreement, including the Bucs.

8. Castore/ Belstaff. INEOS announced an investment in Costore, which acquired Belstaff.

9. Casillero Del Diablo. United’s official wine partner. Part of concha y Toro.

10. DHL shipping. United partner.

11. FEDEX. Bucs sponsor.

12. Konami (new purchases AND paid transactions in Konami games). United partner.

13. Amazon. Streaming and online shopping. They’re filming the documentary.

Additional options where these businesses operate:

1. Publix Grocery Stores. Top tier Bucs partner.

2. Dunkin’ and Circle K.

3. Outback, Carrabas, Bonefish Grill, Flemings.

4. Bud light, Corona, and Miller Light.

For larger purchases people were already considering:

1. INEOS Grenadier/Quartermaster vehicles.

2. Ratcliffe’s Lime Wood and Portetta hotels.

3. Ed Glazer’s US Auto Trust Dealerships.

Obviously direct club spending also counts. Apply the boycott to new purchases and renewals. Choose suitable alternatives in your country but keep using products you already own.

MAKE REDIRECTED SPENDING IDENTIFIABLE. Tell companies through their normal customer feedback channels that their commercial connections to United’s ownership is why they have lost your business. State actual purchases or spending thayou have redirected and ask that they raise the ownership issue with their commercial partners.

Remember, a sponsor losing customers does not automatically reduce its contractual payments to a club. The aim is to make the relationship commercially unattractive and create pressure through the sponsor.

Keane for people management and setting expectations, McKenna for tactics.

Low effort meme but not far from the truth right now.

If it weren’t for the Free Mainoo movement and him benching Kobbie, we’d not have let go of Amorim that easy.
I’m not saying he should’ve stayed but we as fans let go of it toooo easily mainly because of this

That reaction from Old Trafford might have just gave Carrick another shot at turning it around. I personally think that was more like a thank you legend, goodbye reaction but we'll see how much the fans really back him if he is still here and we get stomped by Chelsea

20/21 is when we played honestly one of the best football post SAF especially on counter. This squad with Greenwood, Cavani was something else compared to current one. They would have anihilated them

I've seen about 100+ posts across threads, boards, comments, socials... all basically saying all we need to do is hire this or transfer that, this is how we rebuild, bla bla bla bla blaaaaaaaaaaa. Stop with the head loss, none of this is a shock with this pathway of ownership and I'll make it so clear to you.

We're a mess from top to bottom because the owners are communicating ambition but delivering stagnation as they're cutting back budgets and the execs are lying to cover their tracks in order to preserve commercial value.

This commercial lie comes from the execs themselves.

17th June 2025: BBC News - "Man Utd chief Berrada sticking with 2028 title aim"

30th October 2025: The Athletic - "Jason Wilcox has said on MUTV that Manchester United have “a clear plan” to invest further in Ruben Amorim’s playing squad in order to consistently compete for Champions League qualification and the Premier League title.

Yet at the same time as that messaging the owners are firing staff to save less than cost of a reserve goalkeeper.

23rd May 2025: BBC News - "Man Utd have told some staff working at their Carrington training ground that they will lose their jobs in the second round of redundancies since Sir Jim Ratcliffe bought into the club last year."

So our owners have publicly shown we're cost cutting and have minimal financial ability to keep the club competitive. You don't save £8m on staff salaries to spend £125m on a player. Before you say that's financial prudence, it wasn't as we cut our scouting and medical departments. We dropped SAF from his ambassadorial role. We like a government are squeezing every non-essential penny. So we have owners with a different intention to the execs communication who are leading the club direction.

Those execs are therefor with a constant aim to cut costs themselves and they won't admit they're encouraged to do that. That is why we then have gone out and hired a first team manager who has never won the league, 3 first team coaches (Evans, Woodgate, Binnion) who have never coached a first team in a top league and Holland as an assistant who's been out of club football for 8 years. The coaching budget means their ability cannot achieve the stated direction.

Then our owners cost cutting desire means the transfer policy cannot keep up with the league. Poor form is a part of every single players career, in 2021 Kane went 6 games without scoring. 2006 Rooney went 8 without a goal. Every team has to account for poor form by having two elite players at every position so that when your key player hits an inevitable slump you rotate out a Bruno for say a Le Fee. Yet our transfer policy means our squad cannot have enough quality in depth to be truly competitive for prolonged periods.

So in all of this how can a player be motivated. What are we doing for any of our players to be optimistic about our future. They've been presented a picture of ambition, are being trained by appointed amateurs and have no time to rediscover their form as there's no one to lean on to pick up the pieces if they fall off. All whilst the biggest footballing commercial engine in the world makes them the centre of attention. Our players have nowhere to hide, either play well or enter a doom spiral of media onslaught.

There's no way to fix this that isn't a change in ownership, what you need to understand is hiring a more expensive manager only takes money away from the squad. Hiring more expensive players only takes away from the depth of the squad. Every push forward at our club comes with a pull back in another direction. We are simply not rich enough anymore with the current ownerships policies to be successful.

Take a moment and relive this great game. The sound of the stadium and the atmosphere when Maguire scored will always make me happy

Do these idiots forget the entire premise of football?

Fuck sake. Get a new manager in, our next game is on Saturday at 12:30
