28.57%
That's 'Carrick at the Wheel's or as I will start to abbreviate CATW, win percentage this season.
Yes, forget last season everyone, as it doesn't matter a tosh for what is happening this season.
Win against Spurs and we jump to 37.5%! Lose, and we drop to 25%.
Why does this matter?
It is the stick that was used to beat down Amorim and that ultimately got him sacked. So let's repeat the process to ensure this season isn't totally written off.
Coincidentally, Amorim's win percentage after 7 games in his final season was 28.57%.

28.57% ?
You've somehow managed to turn seven games of football into a mathematical case for sacking a manager, while simultaneously pretending context doesn't matter.
"Forget last season, it doesn't matter" followed immediately by comparing this season to Amorim's record from last season. Outstanding.
And the really brilliant bit is using a percentage after seven games as though you've uncovered some damning statistical trend rather than a microscopic sample size that changes dramatically with one result.
Lose to Spurs and it's 25%. Beat them and it's 37.5%. So apparently the manager's competence can fluctuate by 12.5 percentage points depending on one football match. Groundbreaking analysis.
If you're going to use CATW as your abbreviation, I think for you, Can't Analyse The Whole picture or, Calculating A Tiny Window is better.
You've taken seven games, removed all context, cherry-picked a comparison, and then congratulated yourself for finding a pattern.
That's not analysis, that's just a calculator having an argument.
Ed Woodward would be proud of these numbers ?
At this rate you'll be putting #GlazersOut in your bio while simultaneously doing their recruitment for them!
"Don't worry lads, I've found the manager's win percentage after seven games. Get the P45 ready.".

JBR and in the first match this year he had 0% win rate. I understand you make all these because the Anti-Amorim kept saying in every match how bad the precedence of our winning was. But let it go mate.
27 Sep 2026 03:47:46
Yes Ports..the same way the anti Amorim gang couldn't see the bigger picture..
The irony of your counter arguments is the groundbreaking stuff here, champ.
I'm of course taking the Michael out of the anti-amorim brigade here Heaven, they will take their stupid arguments to their grave.
When that klan accept they f'ked up by pressing for his removal, I'll stop the same campaign for the removal of Carrick, but only if he wins against Spurs.
There can't be a United fan alive that accepts he continues if we lose to Spurs. Even the most delusional..
27 Sep 2026 11:20:21
JBR, what was Amorim's win percentage in his first season?
27 Sep 2026 08:36:37
The irony is you accusing others of not seeing the "bigger picture" while reducing an entire managerial debate to "he must win the next game or he goes." That isn't the bigger picture, that's a football "fan" having a tantrum.
You're so Pro Glazer you've even got Glazer mentality. Sack the bloke, move on, repeat the cycle, and pretend that's a long-term football strategy.
27 Sep 2026 11:58:12
So you are doing the same thing with Carrick that you complain others did with Amorim lol, it doesn't make sense.
Amorims win rate was below part bordering on awful. If Carricks win rate gets that bad this season, he will also be sacked, its how it works at the top level of football.
27 Sep 2026 13:34:56
Ports, ? on some awesome points.
That's not analysis, that's just a calculator having an argument
That isn't the bigger picture, that's a football "fan" having a tantrum.
JBR, I am happy to bebate with you but you are over-emotional about this. Our start has been awful and Carrick need to fix it, if he doesn't I expect he will be another lamb tothe slaughter and we will rinse and repeat. But it doesn't change the root causes that still need to be addressed.
27 Sep 2026 19:12:40
Gents I am simply repeating what the anti Amorim Klan did all last season until he got sacked.
Not one of you accepted it when people like myself tried to calm you and suggest there was a bigger picture at play with Amorim.
It was draining to try and debate this with you then, but now I'm just going to have fun with this until Carrick is gone. That isn't pro glazer. That is me simply repeating what the majority of the people commenting did last season with Amorim.
I actually want Spurs to beat us now.
27 Sep 2026 21:03:36
It is genuinely remarkable watching the intellectual gymnastics unfold here.
Ports accuses me of having a "Glazer mentality" and relying on a "microscopic sample size", while others claim I'm making no sense by holding Carrick to this standard. The collective amnesia here is staggering.
Let's talk about the real irony:
1. The Sudden Discovery of "Patience" and "Context"
When Ruben Amorim was trying to implement a complete tactical overhaul and build a long-term structural identity, where was this nuanced lecturing about "sample sizes", "the bigger picture", and "fluctuating percentages"? It didn't exist. Week after week, the anti-Amorim brigade flooded this board armed with microscopic weekly win percentages, dissecting every point dropped and demanding his head without granting him a shred of patience.
Now, suddenly, holding a manager accountable to the exact same cold, hard numbers is deemed "a calculator having an argument". You weaponised early-season percentages to hound Amorim out the door; you don't now get to appeal to patience just because your favoured safe option is staring at a 28.57% win rate. I am simply holding up the mirror to the exact precedent you set.
2. The Incompetence of Recruitment Left Us Here
This entire mess exists because of upper management's classic dilly-dallying. While serious European clubs move with conviction, our board dragged their heels, procrastinated, and dithered throughout the recruitment process last year. What happened? Top-tier, progressive managerial candidates were snapped up by competent clubs, leaving us backed into a corner with virtually no elite options left on the table.
Michael Carrick wasn't appointed because he was the visionary architect of an elite modern project; he was appointed because management boxed themselves in and settled for an underwhelming, familiar default.
3. Who the Real "Glazerites" Actually Are
Accusing me of "doing the recruitment for the Glazers" is classic projection.
A Glazerite isn't someone holding a manager to elite standards. A Glazerite is someone who:
Complacently accepts managerial compromises born out of boardroom dithering.
Normalises mediocrity because the face in the dugout is an affable ex-player.
Preaches endless, blind patience for unproven internal appointments after actively sabotaging high-calibre managers trying to impose elite structural demands.
You helped create the conditions that binned Amorim, swallowed the boardroom's botched managerial search without question, and are now defending a 28.57% win rate under the guise of "calmness". That isn't backing the club—that is being completely complicit in the Glazer-era standard of accepting whatever scrap the hierarchy hands you.
If holding Carrick to the exact standard you demanded of Amorim makes you uncomfortable, don't blame the mirror. Blame your own double standards.
Peace out.

"I actually want Spurs to beat us now" line is a real giveaway to what sort of fan you are. You're not interested in the bigger picture, you're desperate for a result that proves your internet argument right. Supporting United is secondary to winning a debate with people on a forum.
Congratulations: you've gone from "look at the bigger picture" to "I hope United lose so I can say I told you so."
That's not the moral high ground, mate. That's just being a professional clown with a scoreboard obsession. ?.
27 Sep 2026 21:09:44
You want United to lose!
Jog on champ.
27 Sep 2026 21:48:05
I knew that would get you Keefy ?.
27 Sep 2026 22:28:18
Had some help on that post JBR? Sentences aren't as constructed as your previous ones ?.
27 Sep 2026 22:50:13
I don't engage with hypocrisy Ports. You're top of the pile of Glazerites. That overview is you and your Klan down to a tee.
It will hurt for you to read it because it is the truth.
Digest it, look in the mirror, come back to me and tell me what you see.
I know what I see.
