I'm in a toxic relationship with this club.
Win, lose, live, or die... I love this football club forever. 😭❤️

What intensity! God I’ve missed that feeling.

🚨I don’t think people realise just how much DAMAGE INEOS have done to Manchester United in less than THREE YEARS.
We were promised a new era. Proper football people making proper football decisions. A clear vision, a long-term project and an end to the absolute MESS we’ve been living through for years.
Instead, somehow, they’ve managed to make things EVEN WORSE.
Just LOOK at what they’ve done:
• Explored replacing Ten Hag, kept him, then sacked him three months after spending around £200m
• Dan Ashworth left after five months, reportedly over the Amorim appointment
• Backed Amorim after a 15th place finish, then sacked him after a reported breakdown with the hierarchy
• Ratcliffe said Amorim needed three years in October, and he was gone by January
• Matt Hargreaves leads transfer negotiations, with a background in sports marketing
• Called Carrick an interim, then gave him the job, reportedly against Vivell's advice
• Went into a Champions League season without a left-back or proper squad depth, and now we're talking replacements in October
• A new manager would be the fourth permanent boss under INEOS in under three years
• Wilcox could still have a say in the next appointment, reportedly wanting Eddie Howe
• Ratcliffe called out constant managerial changes in 2024, then repeated the same cycle
• Sold McTominay and signed Ugarte, despite reports Ten Hag wanted to keep him
• Made hundreds of staff redundant while spending millions reversing their own decisions
• Ended Sir Alex Ferguson's £2m-a-year global ambassador role
• Raised members' tickets to £66, removing concessions for children and pensioners
• Moved season-ticket holders out of their seats for more corporate hospitality
• Scrapped free staff lunches, cut bonuses, removed free travel to the FA Cup final, and cancelled the staff Christmas party
Different owners, same story. We deserve better.

Open letter to @ManUtd:
The time has come. Enough is enough. Michael Carrick must be removed as manager of Manchester United immediately.
For too long have watched this once-great club slide into mediocrity, embarrassment and chaos. Results have been poor, performances have been lifeless, and the direction of the team is nowhere to be seen.
The players look lost. The fans are furious. And still, nothing changes.
Let us be clear: the blame does not fall solely on Carrick. The owners must finally take responsibility for the disgraceful way this club is being run.
Years of mismanagement, poor decisions and a complete lack of ambition have brought #MUFC to this point. The rot starts at the top. While the supporters suffer, those in charge continue to treat the club like a business rather than a football institution with a proud history and a global following that deserves better.
Manchester United fans do not deserve this. We have stood by this club through the good times and the bad. They fill Old Trafford week after week, they travel across the country and across Europe, and defend the badge with everything they have. In return are given broken promises, repeated failures and a team that no longer represents what this club is supposed to be.
Worst of all, it is now affecting the next generation fans. Children who grew up dreaming of wearing the red shirt are going to bed in tears. They are asking their parents why their team keeps losing, why nothing ever seems to get better, and why the club they love feels so far away from what it once was. It is heartbreaking. It is unacceptable. And it has to stop 💔
This is not just about one manager. This is about the soul of the club. The fans demand change. They demand accountability. They demand that the owners act before more damage is done to a name that once stood for excellence.
Remove Michael Carrick. Take responsibility. Give the fans the club they deserve again.
The time for excuses is over. The time for action is now.

“Until the children of Gaza, the men and women of Palestine, can play sport freely at home, abroad, on the international stage, we should never engage with Israeli team or any other sports team. Until we get justice and freedom for Palestine.

This is only the start of the goading, bullying and provocation that Ireland’s players and management will be subjected to by the Israel FA.
They should not be in this situation. The only correct response from the FAI remains not to fulfil these fixtures. It’s not too late.
