Reading throuth various posts, it seems we have a good chunk of us that put mote blame on the hierarchy than Carrick and the players. I get that the point that the club is ran horrendously, and I completely agree. But I don't understand how that excuses these players and this manager. Looking at our results this season, can we honestly say we have a worse squad than Hull, Everton or Fulham? We dropped points to all of those teams.
Everton have owners who have put the club up for sale and criminally under invested in the squad this summer. They have Barry as their only recognised striker. Thierno Barry!
Everton are 5th in the table. Why do their players and manager seem to be able to over perform?
Blaming the ownership for all of our problems and performances - even if they are toxic leaches - is just lazy. There's no way this squad shouldn't comfortably be a top 6 team with the right manager.

There will still be some posters who think cosy thoughts about an ex player, same thing happened with Ole. Driven by emotions, Carrick is eulogised for being a beloved ex player.
Once appointed there is nothing anyone could do, but the decisions, poor game management and terrible tactics are there for all to see.
Personally I said Carrick permanently was a huge mistake and he is. I still cannot believe we have a manager who couldn't hack it for a short period at Middlesbrough, it's beyond me.
It's not the only concern, Wilcox in particular needs to go and Berrada has huge question marks. As to the owners no comment needed.

We do not truely know the circumstances of Carrick getting the gig. We do not know what other managers were realistically and I mean REALISTICALLY available and/or wanted to come to the mess that is United.
I am not banging the drum for Carrick, but unless we can genuinely bring someone in who can change things then we are between a rock and a hard place. As you say RM we need a real leader.
I wish I knew the answer because clearly the management don't!

We should get that Moyes fella in.
