When I say INEOS didn’t back Michael Carrick properly, I am speaking cold, hard facts. Stop comparing him to the previous managers when you look at what they were actually handed to spend: • Ten Hag: Spent £600m+ (Antony £85m, Casemiro £70m, Mount £60m, Martinez £57m) • Amorim: Spent £256m (Mbeumo £70m, Šeško £74m, Cunha £62.5m) • Carrick: Spent £155m on Tielemans, Andrey Santos and Baleba. Carrick is out here fighting for his life near the relegation zone because the board decided to turn off the financial tap the second he took the job. I am being lenient with him because I actually know what I'm looking at. Carrick got absolutely nothing but individual defensive errors repeating themselves every weekend. The blatant lack of backing is why I refuse to blame the manager. Finance over football is killing this club.

This Aston Villa game is on dalot, lammens and yoro mistakes, the Chelsea game is on Lisandro Martinez mistake, the Tottenham and Fulham games are on Lisandro Martinez, the Brighton FA cup loss is on inexperienced yoro and heaven, that Everton game is on our defence too. The defence keeps letting us down and the board didn’t even attempt to add a signing or two at the back this summer. This the reason why I say you can’t blame Carrick 100% for this. If he was backed properly like his predecessors of course I’d come for his head. What don’t you guys understand?
