Elite-level incompetence is Manchester United’s problem – not Michael Carrick
Getting rid of head coach is not going to solve the problems that led to his appointment. Perhaps it’s worth, for once, doing something different
TL;DR
- Manchester United's poor performance is attributed to executive-level incompetence rather than just the manager, Michael Carrick.
- The club is described as the worst-run in world football in terms of revenue versus results, featuring significant waste and a lack of clear strategy.
- The squad is a 'cut-and-paste' collection of players recruited under different managers, lacking cohesion and a defined style of play.
- Managerial changes are seen as a short-term fix that fails to address the deeper issues within the club's structure and decision-making processes.
- Despite the club's commercial revenue growth focus, the team's results on the pitch suggest a fundamental disconnect and inefficiency.
- The article critiques the Glazer ownership for its lack of attention to detail and Sir Jim Ratcliffe's 'pub-level incoherent' promises regarding football strategy.
- John Murtough's departure to Atalanta is contrasted with Omar Berrada's apparent invulnerability despite the ongoing issues.
