Part 2/2 🧵: The Pundit Class Showed Its Hand - And It Wasn't  Clean nor Pretty Look at the pattern. This is a pundit class populated heavily by ex-United opponents -  men who spent their playing careers getting beaten by Ferguson's machine and who now sit in television studios with a barely concealed glee riding on the hope of Old Trafford in flames. The "lose and you're fired" ultimatum wasn't sourced journalism. It was a subliminal wish dressed up as news. A desire to see the old rival succumb, what they couldn't succeed in doing during their playing days - be defeated - packaged as "expert analysis." In life, you come across true professionals like competent lawyers, doctors and engineers and commentators like Owen Gargreaves and then you have the "riff-raffs of the sinister and dark kind" like the 3 Card Monte conmen you find along the five footways outside Selfridges! Notice one thing about true professionals? Here is the uncomfortable truth. In any other profession, this would be a scandal. A lawyer who briefed the press against his own client would be struck off. A doctor who leaked a patient's file to a tabloid would lose his licence. Engineers who signed off on unsafe designs face prosecution. Why? Because they are governed by professional bodies - the Legal Services Board, the General Medical Council, the Engineering Council, the Premier League - that enforce codes of conduct and maintain standards. Football punditry has no such body. The Premier League regulates clubs. Nobody regulates the men with microphones. And so you get the three-card monte conmen of the airwaves just like the 3 card conmen operating on the five footways outside Selfridges: the ones who shuffle the narrative, distract you with a sensational headline, and pocket your attention and in the process sully the reputation of the TV stations and media channels they represent; while the real story - a team fighting for its manager, a fanbase beginning to believe - gets buried under a pile of "sack race" graphics. The BBC called it "bizarre and thrilling theatre" . Sky Sports pushed the "awkward interview" angle . ESPN focused on Keane calling Carrick names. Notice what none of them led with: the fight? The character? The fact that this United team, for all its flaws, refused to fold. Fair-minded fans don't demand cheerleading. They demand fair play and objectivity - the minimum professional standard. On November 7th, the pundit class failed that standard. They didn't report the story. They pre-wrote it. And when the story refused to cooperate - when Dorgu's header hit the net in the 96th minute - they had to scramble to pretend they'd been covering the fight all along. Carrick demonstrated more class in his pinkie than that entire band of mostly dishonest pundits and sportswriters. The Old Trafford magic is back. And the men who wished it dead are going to have to find a new script. The United Board, would have taken note. The End . STEVE SYA is listed in ASEAN Who's Who and is a 3-Time GP Champion .

Part 1/2 🧵: The Old Trafford Magic Is Back - And So Is the Fight: By Steve Sya The scoreline says 4-4. The table reads 18th. The headlines screamed "crisis." But anyone who actually watched Manchester United against Aston Villa on Sunday saw something the spreadsheet merchants will never quantify: The Old Trafford spirit is back! Twice United went two goals down. Twice they clawed back. Bruno Fernandes - the captain, the lightning rod, the one who never hides - dragged his team level before half-time from the penalty spot . When Villa went 4-2 up early in the second half, the old United would have folded. This one didn't. Joshua Zirkzee pulled one back in stoppage time, and Patrick Dorgu headed in a 96th-minute equaliser that turned Old Trafford into a cauldron of noise and disbelief! That is not a "limpid performance." That is a team fighting for its manager. Dorgu said it plainly afterwards: "We need to fight for the manager, for the club and get out of this together" . Michael Owen, admitted on air that the players are "absolutely fighting for him" and the fans are "with him" . Even Roy Keane - famously unforgiving - conceded United "showed a bit of fight and desire" and "kept going". The Board was watching. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada were all at Old Trafford . They saw an entire team fighting for their manager. They saw a stadium that erupted when Dorgu scored. They saw the first real green shoots of a side that might, induce fear again. Results matter. But fans abhor a team that doesn't care. This team cares. That is the foundation. Everything else is built on top of it. Here's what the sports news looked like on the day before United played Villa. Virtually every report - from the tabloids to the click-bait aggregators - had already written Carrick's obituary. The Mirror and The Sun pushed the line that Carrick had "no assurances" and "no idea" whether he'd survive the Villa game . Football365 ran with the "human shield" narrative - the idea that INEOS chiefs were hiding behind Carrick to deflect from their own boardroom failures . The Manchester Evening News framed the fixture as a defining week where Carrick was "powerless" to avoid the sack. Was any of that reporting? Or was it something else entirely?

Part 2/2 🧵 Roma the Litmus Test for United Roma arrived as the litmus test. A well-drilled, confident side, they should have buried a rattled United. Instead, Carrick's players - the ones supposedly lost to him - ran through walls in the second half. Mainoo produced the game of his life alongside Baleba before the injury forced a reshuffle. Mbeumo hit both posts. The energy was chaotic, desperate, imperfect, but it was alive. That is not the signature of a dressing room that has quit on its coach. It is the signature of a squad that knows its manager has been dealt a cruel hand and is trying to bail water out of a ship. Carrick may not be a genius. He may not be the long-term answer. But the idea that he is the root cause of United's malaise is a convenient fiction peddled by a pundit class made up almost entirely of ex-player opponents wishing for and addicted to a diet of feasting on United's failures! These pundits sully the good name if the TV stations, channels and media they represent for rank unprofessionalism! Not entirely blameless either is an ownership structure that has escaped accountability for a decade. The Glazers remain, the recruitment remains scattergun, the injury list remains catastrophic. When Cunha crashed in the winner, when the fans chanted Carrick's name, when the manager pounded his chest at full-time, it was not a vindication of a tactical system. It was a reminder that sometimes the problem is not the man in the dugout. Sometimes the problem is everything above him. And until that changes, the next manager will be standing in exactly the same courtroom, facing exactly the same verdict. Right now INEOS can solve the problem by investing sensible sums immediately in January! Sign: Rabiot (~£20m) for football intelligence and stamina to further strengthen the midfield, Theo Hernandez (~£20m) for pace at left-back, plus PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS to sign this deadly Aston Villa striker, Alysson, who only joined Aston Villa in January 2026 for, wait for this, £8.9M. Aston Villa is a selling club: Make them an offer they can't refuse! The End. . STEVE SYA is listed in ASEAN Who's Who and is a 3-Time GP Champion .

Part 1/2 🧵 The Roma Heist by United Proves Carrick Was Never the Problem - by Steve Sya For 45 minutes, Old Trafford was a courtroom, and Michael Carrick was the defendant. Two goals down inside 17 minutes to a Roma side riding high in the Champions League, boos ringing out, tennis balls on the pitch in protest against the Glazers. The verdict felt pre-written: nine games without a win, a manager out of his depth, a club in freefall. Then Matheus Cunha happened. Then Shea Lacey happened. Then Kobbie Mainoo happened. And by full-time, the 3-2 comeback might not just save Carrick's job - it exposed the laziness of the entire "Carrick is the problem" narrative. Look at what actually turned the game. It was a tactical masterclass from the bench, and it was not a fluke either. Carlos Baleba, finally driving through the Roma defence with a brilliant move providing the kind of thrust United have lacked all season, pulled up with a hamstring injury just as Bryan Mbeumo waited for a tap-in. Brutal luck, the story of Carrick's tenure. Then Bruno Fernandes, playing as captain, dragged his side back with a retaken penalty - leadership, not just management. Cunha levelled, then Lacey, the academy graduate, threaded a pass of pure conviction for the winner. "Lacey has turned the game"... "Maybe trust the kids, Michael" sayeth a wise man. But trusting the kids is precisely what Carrick has been forced to do, because the squad he inherited is unbalanced, injury-ravaged and structurally broken. This is the crux. Carrick was never responsible for the board's failure to strengthen at centre-back and left-back, nor for the main striker being injured without cover. He was not the one who allowed the squad to become so depleted that a 19-year-old and a midfielder returning from an ankle issue were the emergency solutions. The "no tactical identity" critique may have merit, but it rings hollow when the players themselves have spent weeks briefing against the manager, when the pundits publicly question his tactics while the hierarchy dithers over a replacement. The dysfunction at Manchester United did not begin with Carrick, and it will not end with him. Click here to read Part 2/2 . STEVE SYA is listed in ASEAN Who's Who and is a 3-Time GP Champion .

Part 2/2 🧵: The Saboteurs & The Solution Against Chelsea, the improvement was obvious - but the Jury is still out on Bruno and Martinez. Martinez especially has to go. Sell him in January at ANY COST. He should take up acting; he’d be worth hundreds of millions. · Martinez parted like the Red Sea to let Morgan Rogers score Chelsea’s opener - a repeat of Bournemouth’s Rayan breezing past him in the 3-0 loss. · He then angled for a red card, first wrestling with Morgan Rogers around and in the box for which he got a yellow. You could see him looking at Fofana before deliberately jamming his right elbow into Fofana’s throat for a penalty (second yellow) and a sending off! · Bruno’s whiffed final shot in the first half was also suspect. Carrick is blameless - guilty only of gullibility in believing Martinez wouldn’t sabotage the team. You could bring in ten world-class managers; they’d be helpless with players like Martinez out to sabotage the club. Both Bruno and Martinez were angling for improved contracts, whilst Rashford is upset that the club tried to sell him all summer! The solution: Back Carrick to the hilt! End the despicable United player-power culture once and for all. Don’t succumb to blackmail! Sell in January: Bruno, Martinez and Rashford (the latter 2 at ANY price), Sign: Rabiot (~£20m) for football intelligence and stamina to further strengthen the midfield, Theo Hernandez (~£20m) for pace at left-back, plus a deadly striker! Bring Yoro to centre-back, Dalot to right-back - and watch United go! The End. . STEVE SYA is listed in ASEAN Who's Who and is a 3-Time GP Champion .

Part 1/2 🧵: The Pundits Love Their Standards So Much, They Always Try To Double Them - For United! The Agenda & The Ghosts of Woodward Let’s talk about selective outrage in football. Arsenal lost to Fleetwood Town - a result branded a “humiliation” but barely a whimper on the scale of the extended existential crisis, pundits rolled out for Man Utd’s loss to Grimsby. The standards aren’t just double; they’re on a different planet. But the real rot goes deeper than one result. Trace the horrendous transfers back to Ed Woodward, and it stops looking dumb - it starts to reek of something rotten! · Antony: Solskjaer’s scouting regime valued him at £25m. United then magically inflated their internal valuation during ETHs tenure, and paid £82m - £86m to Ajax. That doesn’t just fail the smell test; it reeks. · The Sabotage of Solskjaer: He tried to sign Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland when they were cheap and unknown. Woodward ignored him. Cheap is anathema to a CEO who prefers inflated deals - so instead, United splashed £73m on Jadon Sancho, who's now worth peanuts! · Hojlund: A good buy - a natural double-digit striker. His United career was destroyed by Garnacho’s selfishness, repeatedly refusing to pass to Hojlund for a tap-in, instead choosing to blast over! I've lost count of the number of times, Hojlund kicked the post in frustration. Pundits in sharkskin suits (good footballers, but useless as analysts and pundits) just couldn't suss it out, and Hojlund was sold at a heavy loss. Click HERE to read Part 2/2 on Chelsea v Man Utd .

🧵Part 2/2: Management Nous Is Not Optional Management requires a funny element called street-smartness. We've spent the summer trying to sell Rashford, then made the fatal error of trying to reintegrate him. Now he plays with a permanent sulk, pretending to try, but always whiffing his final shot. It is an unwritten management rule, that Staff in offices worldwide once handed P45s, are paid off instantly and totally barred from the building - because they can cause irreparable damage...like making important files disappear. That's trite management. Lisandro Martínez's contract was up for renewal. Decisive action means renew or sell. No ifs and buts. Same with Bruno, running around like a headless chicken, but it was all pretense. Delay, and you get an own goal and a "wrestling" match with Solanke that fooled every pundit - the same script plays out again, as Martínez's came on in his cameo and "instantly slipped" in the United box against Bournemouth. If you won't pay them what they're asking, sell them ASAP! Rebuilding a team, is a little like ALCHEMY: It's not just youth, but a potent combination of experience, youth, and deadly superstar strikers. Selective splurging. Casemiro should have been retained. After a difficult start, Casemiro is now playing extremely well in Miami -Carragher, Cundy, Merson and Sherwood, et al, aren't fit to coach kindy teams, which is why they ALL flopped in management, as they all focused, simplistically, only on Casemiro's chronological age. In the process, they bring dishonour and disrepute to the channels and TV stations they serve as pundits! For it is biological age, not chronological age, that matters - Alves played till 39, Modrić is 41 and still running for Croatia. Rabiot (31), with his football intelligence and stamina, would have transformed the United midfield for £20M. Théo Hernandez (29) - with his blinding pace at left back, and still playing for France - same cost. Two signings. Real nous. That would have left a budget for a deadly striker. Instead, we sit here sucking on candy and nuts! The End. . STEVE SYA is listed in ASEAN Who's Who and is a 3-Time GP Champion .

🧵Part 1/2: The Theatre of Screams: "Ifs and Buts" are just candy and nuts, for a club choking on both. Something amazing happened, after Bournemouth embarrassed United 3-0 at Old Trafford. The fans spoketh loudly, after the game. They cheered Carrick - the only man who genuinely cared - and jeered, inter alia, the players masquerading in red. That's not toxicity. That's a fanbase with standards and nous. See: instagram.com/reel/De7SbUloH… Because it's not simply the scoreline. Barcelona losing 4-2 away to PSG in the Champions League, wasn't too far away from 4-1 and 0-3...just as catastrophic and yet, Barca wasn't condemned - Reason? Because they played well! Bournemouth and Como played the kind of football I'd urged Carrick to keep playing: simple triangulation, pass and move, let the ball do the running. No tricks required. It's what United produced against Man City and Arsenal when Carrick first took over. That kind of football, runs rings around opponents - something we found out from Como AND Bournemouth, to our detriment! The headless-chicken running? That happens when a player is unintelligent - or pretending. Sounds familiar? Click HERE to read Part 2/2 . STEVE SYA is listed in ASEAN Who's Who and is a 3-Time GP Champion .
