We did win 11 games last season, I don't think we will get near that this season.That's the hilarious thing. This season is being heralded as if it proves that sacking him was wrong, but we'd still need to lose every game left in the season to get the same amount of losses as he did last season.
The only real difference between the two seasons, league wise, is that the bottom 3 aren't as crap this season
Nah, NOT losing 22 games is worth more for some people. We had 11 games won by this same time last season, at 37 points compared to 7 games won and 30 points now. I hate to say this in forum, but (since some people disliking Ange so much and couldn't stop hurling insults at him, why should I not do the same) these same people are incredibly stupid to hold onto the 22 losses and fight their argument. I bet if we go the entire season drawing 38 matches and got 38 points, these people will celebrate on the street because there are 0 losses. Dimwits.We did win 11 games last season, I don't think we will get near that this season.
You went on and on and were doing cartwheels when frank was appointed,who is your next recommendation Wilfried Nancy…..The players were programmed by this fat oaf to lose over a whole season.
When the inevitable long term consequence occurs -- which was warned about! -- it's blamed on the manager/s who have had to follow his fat arse here to work with the puddle of a mentality he left the players with.
Then, to cement their status as absolute whack-jobs, the same people are now saying that keeping the fat fool who is the sole cause for our mangled mindset would have been the right move.
So he could do this:

Fucking crackpots.
You fuckers deserve the championship.

Maybe if we'd have hired Carrick and United hired Frank things would have been different.
Perhaps some managers can break the psychology of poor form better than others.
Fucking close this thread and throw it in the fucking sea tbh.

IIRC they had a poor start to this season until Carrick took over, otherwise they wouldn't have sacked their manager if it was just down to bringing in some summer transfers etc.Or maybe United have much more talent in their squad - boosted by adding 3 quality forwards in Summer and not selling Bruno (their equivalent of Son) - and didn't suffer another year of ruinous injuries (they also had an injury crisis in 2024/25).
That seems like a more rational straightforward answer than the "it were Postycoglou all along" scooby do rubbish peddled by derangers, doesn't it?

It's not me that wanted to compare Frank to Carrick, two managers following manager that lost a lot.
I'm just giving a rational explanation that perhaps Carrick is a better fixer that Frank, maybe you disagree, I don't care, I don't really care about Manchester United at all.
Well you've answeredUnited were 6th when Amorim was sacked.
Yes Carrick has made a difference. You'd expect that given they have a much much more talented squad than ours and few injuries.
European Trophy winning Managers for Spurs.
Bill Nicholson.
Keith Burkinshaw*.
Ange Postecoglou.
Of course this thread won't disappear.
*Burkinshaw took us down in 77.
BTW, some of our fans are really such loser mentality. So bang on about 22 losses when they couldn't even see through our current plight of 7 wins and 9 draws is even shittier.
Give me 24 losses all day if we can have 13 wins and 1 draw this season.
Ffs.
