Question. With today's non-decision taken because the club either have no cash to sack the coaching team / appoint a new one, one of the biggest criticisms labelled against the squad is that they're not fit enough.
So in my basic mind, is it is feasible we hire a fitness expert in football to come and sort that out? After all, as head fitness coach, you literally have one job!

Or maybe (and it might be a bit of a leap) they don't want to sack Carrick while they assess whether they need to sack the guy that hired him.

I don't have any insider info but find it hard to believe that there has been a dramatic drop off in fitness. The fitness team, coaches etc are all very experienced and have worked for several managers at the club, so they have all the data on all the players.

I'd I'd think this too Shappy. And hope it's correct.

Like I said above no one wants to come in for next 3 games because 3 losses will be a bad start so let Carrick take that stick.

Carrick took the job as interim with city and Arsenal as his first 2 games
Nothing to do with people not wanting to take over now that's just bs
No manager is bothered what there first games are.

Carrick would have took the interim job whatever the circumstances and the full time job, so that's hardly a bench mark is it Bolger go back in history see how many top class managers have waited before taking a job that suits there needs.
Strange how one minute you say Carrick is low level managers then your next using him as a yardstick, seem to remember you saying certain players were so great too
Of course your entitled to your opinion and have to put it across in your usual terms! Nice.
