To Sack or Not to Sack
from No Question About That - a Manchester United podcast · host Studio 1878
#921 | Another week, another crisis. United collapse 3–1 at Brentford and the questions keep piling up. Ed and Adam pick through the wreckage - from fan fury to the manager’s failing system, and the uncomfortable truth that some of United’s best performers are currently thriving out on loan. There’s a broader look at the club’s structure, coaching set-up, and whether the board has the courage (or competence) to act. Who would take the reins if Amorim goes? And what does it say about United’s trajectory that Europe’s top competition rolls on without them? Finally, a glance towards Sunderland at Old Trafford, and whether the players - and the manager - can arrest the slide.
