Any chance of someone at United doing a performance review on Wilcox and berrada? Maybe hold them to account for the sh1t show that they’ve overseen?

Kept eth and gave new contract
Signed players for eth costing £200m
Fired eth 4 months later costing 10m

Hired ashworth
Paid Newcastle £2m compensation
Fired ashworth 4 months later costing 6-8m in compensation

Hired Amorim mid season knowing full well his philosophy and mentality didn’t match our squad. Signed decent players in the summer (mbeumo, cunha) but again left midfield with a massive deficiency and now sacked RA, not because of performances but because of a personality clash.

I didn’t think RA was the right man however the 2 above him are a massive problem and I’ve zero trust in them getting any decision right. We seem to have replaced the old regime with a new one just as incompetent and full of ego. Brilliant.

Agree with the negatives above Tim.

For balance should also add that they (along with Amorim) moved on Rashford, Sancho, Garna and possibly the worst goalkeeper in our history.

The club is a mess. We have taken half a stride forward and stumbled along the way. We desperately need another few good signings of the class of Mbueno, Cunha, De Ligt, Lammens.

Yoro, Heaven, Dorgu all look like they could be good players, but we need to remove the old guard and bring in a few more first team ready players. I think both the strikers they have signed could have been good, but they needed to have another striker to compete against and work with so the pressure is not quite so much. We need wingers (or wingbacks) who are more dangerous and we need midfielders who can control a game.

Not all signings have to be 10/10. I think a Gallagher could be a great signing for midfield homegrown depth. Maybe a backup striker who can support sesko and pick up a few late game points. A dangerous wide player who can cross and works hard. We can dream.

Agree dodgy that the signings have been pretty good, it’s more their general decision making that I’ve an issue with. Seems to be very muddled.

Careful Tim, there are people here who would never allow you to question the world‑class structure we’ve been told to support – because they know more than us lowly peasants.

If you want a preview of what’s coming, just look at INEOS handling of OGC Nice.

Frequent changes in coaches, sporting directors and senior executives, with budgets and authority shifting season to season as focus drifted elsewhere - Check.

A clear swing from initial heavy spending to aggressive cost control, including budget reductions - Check.

You can own a bigger and better car as many times as you like. If the same bad driver is the one at the wheel, we already know how the journey ends - in a ditch.

I don't think we will truly progress until we rid ourselves of the plague of the Glazers and INEOS.
