Is it just me or have United been incredibly disrespectful to Michael Carrick over the  last 48 hours given the service he's given that club, i know they are in the bottom 3 but he was a terrific player for them and even as a manager he got them CL footy last year when no one was expecting them to finish in the top 4. Okay sack the fella but at least let him clear his desk before letting the world know you've given his job to someone else.
He clearly wasnt the right man in the sense he's not the second  coming of Alex Ferguson but imo Carrick has acted with a hell of a lot of dignity in recent weeks when a lot of other people at that club havent.

I agree with you again Yakka, you've made some very good posts of late.   

I see Pochettino' career stats are W 49.3%, D 21% and L 30%. Now that's ok by me because that equates to 65 points per season. United will never win the league again. Happy days.

But we all know Pochettino will fail. At Spurs he failed miserably to cope with ownership pressure / Daniel Levy as well as player politics in the changing room. He's failed everywhere else he's been. He will last 2 years max and will extend his record of failing to win anything.

And Roy Keane, Gary Neville will've already decided he's not good enough and will be sharpening their knives.

Pochettino Is a yesterday man. Hasn’t been at the top of the game in years and failed at Chelsea.

Things won’t change, but their players will raise their game against us and try and get a draw.

Yeah the Carrick debacle has definitely been handled bad, media also didn't help especially the beeb, amount of articles them let have pulled out recently is crazy.

They've got deep issues within their club, doubt Poch will make much of a difference. He'll get them up the table, potentially in Europe. Poch ain't all that anymore, if he was the real deal he would've done wonders at Chelsea.
He did really well at Spurs but you also have to consider he had top talent at his disposal that synced really well.

As for our game, said it on another thread this will be their final. Guarantee they'll put on a stellar performance.

In the past 10+ years any time Man U have had a new manager and sacked their previous failure, I almost always thought damn they might turn it around with this one, only for them to repeat the same process again. This time however, I must say I agree with what everyone is saying, that Poch is very unlikely to be the one who turns it around for them. But with such super low expectations in place now, media already writting him off etc. it might actually be a blessing for them tbh.

Anyway, I was hoping we'll be the ones to get Carrick sacked, I loved it when they sacked Mourinho right after we battered them, I guess they were trying to avoid that this time and were one step ahead lol.

No doubt this will be their cup final as usual since they already have nothing to play for, so we must be ready.

I’m not sure you could be a yesterday man in coaching, look at Maureen as he is now the Real Madrid coach and we thought the same of him, it’s not like he has to play. I think the Club has toxic greedy owners and as long as that’s the case they’ll never find real success. Imagine, the owners bought the club for about 500m and leveraged the club for the money. They still after 20 years owe 500m on that debt even though they have paid 1billion in interest for the debt  , incredible! Meanwhile the owners have taken out hundreds of millions from the club. As long as that’s is the formula they will always struggle.

As for Poch I think it will be rinsed and repeat. He’ll turn it around, they’ll look the part then their toxic players will down tools again and they will struggle again. There will probably be a new manager bounce and I hope it is not Sunday. I hope we smash them!

In their history, ManUre have only really had two winning managers, I doubt Poch is the third.
