The ground good then Pothas? I refuse to believe my Evertonian friends and family who've talked it up. Still salty that it's ruined the 'closest ground to the Mersey' trivia question forevermore

Looks like Fletcher's got the job until the summer according to Ornstein, and then I'm guessing it's Glasner taking over seeing as he's also out of contract then.

That was his dig knowing he was gone.
Hadn't thought of that, but yeah, sounds plausible.

He came off like a massive sook but if a little whinge and a cry is all it needed to get an 18 month contract paid off more managers would be doing it.

Clearly promoted beyond his capabilities.

Agreed on all counts.
As I said before, a lot of people have left Utd over the last 15 years will have legitimate grievances with how they were treated, even ETH for all his flaws won 2 cups, Moyes got only 1 season, Ole at least got Utd to second and even Jose won 2 cups.
This guy on the other hand did not even give them a new manager bounce, terrible win record, won zero cups and was very much backed when it came to time and money.

I loath Liverpool, but if further proof was needed how serious of a team they were compared to Utd, they spoke to Ruben and knew he wasn't up to it...and United well yeah here we are.

Untied continue to be a clown show under the Glazers and now INEOS. Bring in a guy with a system that doesn’t suit the squad and then not want to back him with players. Dorgu and 3 forwards when midfield was glaring is silly. I said when ETH went that the manager doesn’t matter while the structure is broken.

If it’s Fletcher then just lol. He’s been playing politics for years now. Good luck staying top 6 with an interim.

The stuff about Ashworth and Berrada wanting Amorim but Wilcox being against but Berrada pushing it though after Ashworths firing but before Wilcox’s promotion if true is clown show material. No wonder Wilcox wasn’t going to back him.

Imo man united must appoint thigo motta(ex bologna & juventus coach) he is low profile, extremely hard working and tactically genius.
Man Utd aren't a club for whatever hipster xG Twitter bollocks is flavour of the month. 'Tactical genius' is doing a **** ton of heavy lifting for a guy who won less than 50% of his matches in charge of ****ing Juventus.

Absolutely nothing about his record suggests he'd be anything other than an abject failure.

Let Wilcox be the manager because he clearly wants to do that from above. He can get his weekly insights from Neville on his tactics for the next game. 😂

I wonder how much Nancy will get in his pay off for the eight matches he was Celtic manager for?

Worst football recruitment since Souness signed that kid for Southampton who faked being George Weah's cousin.

Yeah thought it was great. Just looks and feels different to most modern grounds.

FSG won't compromise on strategy. Amorim asked for new signings so he could play 3ATB and they weren't keen on that philosophy.

They went with Slot and the rest is history. Although now that seems like he's doing far more damage than good.

Amorim would have been sacked a lot sooner at other big clubs.

But how much of the rapid removal of several players who were key scaffolding for the old Liverpool dynasty, before the new signings settled in, is Slot's input.
