NFR - Carrick

[FulhamKC]

Genuinely curious about opinions. Is Michael Carrick a good coach? He was relatively successful at Boro. Manchester United seems like a poisoned chalice.

Be interesting to hear what Rodrigo thinks of him.

Utd need to realise that managerial changes hasn't fixed things for them.

I'm not saying that Carrick is an excellent manager, but there's something going on at that club which is bigger than the manager.

IMO the club needs to find a way to distance itself from their negative ex-player pundits; Bruno - as incredible as he's been for them as a player - is a horrendous captain; senior management have run the club into the ground with poor investment (both on and off the pitch).

Fundamentally, the players have learned that they can down tools after a few months without any repercussions.

  I feel sorry for the fella.... sites like the BBC are spending hours filling articles about 'is he looking at the door'?
It's just clickbait, gutter journalism.
BBC should leave the bloke alone.

Seems like a decent enough person and did a good job at Boro' and initially at ManUre.  Something is horribly wrong at that club so it's very hard to put blame on yet another in a long line of managerial "failures".

[HobGoblin]

Long may it continue, odious club and the fans needed bringing down a good few levels, were arrogant.

Don't mind the northern Utd fans  but cannot stand the southern glory seekers - same with Liverpool

[RaySmith]

Seems absurd to blame Carrick, though that's how things are now, and I do feel sorry for him - he's the same manager as last season, when they did so well when he came in.
The players are mainly the same, but are playing with fear and little confidence, with all the pressure put on them after a couple of bad results.

I don't really get all this 'they aren't trying,' from the media and even their own fans.

The problems at The club are from the top down- the Glazers, Routledge, etc.
They don't now have the money to spend on the top players they need, and this is the main problem, and it doesn't matter who is the manager, they just aren't good enough to satisfy their fans and media  expectations.
