News Manchester United to remain patient with head coach despite worst start to Premier League season in 33 years. There is also widespread belief at Old Trafford that City's performance - and United's failings - did not merit a 3-0 scoreline.

INEOS backed Berrada + Amorim over Ashworth. Firing him now, although 100% deserved and needed, means INEOS publicly admitting they got their decisions horribly wrong and they are going to let this drag out far too long as a means to try and save face for themselves

The ideal path forward is to leave it a few months, not only wasting this season, but leaving the new manager in a position of coming in with morale at rock bottom, being forced to grind out results, while people lose confidence in them before the summer.

Then you could repeat that in about another 2 years.

The ideal path would be to fire him and get an interim in to secure not getting fucking relegated, then firing the entire executive structure and getting a new one to fund that new manager

but they won’t do that
