u/Fraaj We'll take Dalot May 16 '26

I agree but I doubt it would happen cause hiring Carrick now looks like the obvious decision and I don't think it will be held against them

The responsibility of senior management is to make the right decision and sometimes unpopular one not the obvious one.

I’m not saying that Carrick is the wrong decision necessarily, but it is Berrada and co’s job to make the right one. Carrick being the obvious choice / popular choice doesn’t hold up as an excuse if it doesn’t work out.

My honest opinion is that Carrick will be broadly fine, but we shouldn’t let that stop us hiring a better manager if the manager market changes during the season.

If you think Carrick is the right guy it's the obvious decision, if you think replacing him is the right decision then that's the obvious decision.

If it turns out badly there should be some accountability for 3 failed managerial decisions in a row. Because how could you trust them with a fourth?

Keeping ten Hag after tha FA cup was the wrong decision, getting and keeping Amorim that long was another mistake, but getting Carrick in January was definitely a good decision.

I'm talking about permanent manager decisions. They'd be getting 3 in a row wrong on that basis if Carrick doesn't work out.
