As much as I agree that Wilcox is not fit to be Director of Football at this club based on what we've seen so far, I also don't think Carrick is good enough to be Head Coach, nor are the coaches around him.
We're supposedly trying to compete at the top end of the table, yet we have a coaching setup made up of failed Middlesbrough coaches and former players. Honestly, it's hard to take seriously. What coaching or management credentials do Carrick, Woodgate and Evans have that justify them leading a club the size of Manchester United?
Having played football for 25 years, I can say from experience that being in an environment with poor coaching absolutely affects performances. You can have talented players, but there's nothing more frustrating than working under coaches who aren't good enough.
Wilcox certainly isn't innocent in any of this, but there has to be accountability throughout the football structure. The old saying goes: there are no bad students, only bad teachers. Before people respond by saying, "Amorim was a good coach", I'd challenge that as well. On what basis did he have the credentials to come in and coach Manchester United players?
For me, the problems at the club go far deeper than recruitment. The quality of leadership, coaching and football direction all need to be questioned if Manchester United genuinely want to get back to competing at the highest level.

Wilcox put the current coaching team in place. So he is accountable. We have huge holes in the squad. He is accountable. We can't sell players who need to be moved on. He is accountable. He chose to stick with amorim, but them failed to get him the right players and then fell out with him and pushed him out the door. Runours were that it was Wilcox that was going to go instead of amorim, before amorim blew up and made it clear he was leaving.
This is not a big deal. Man in charge of all football matters at club gets sacked because the team is not performing. They thought nothing of sacking hundreds of employees who cost relatively little. He is expensive. He is costing the club a fortune with his poor decisions and we are no closer to success than when he joined.
Best in class my ar3e.
