Thank you INEOS. 1+1 more years of this.
Marc Skinner | one year extension confirmed
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
This is absolute garbage today for sure.
Stupid decision to give him a new contract
I'd sack him even if the contract got signed earlier today.
Get Martin Ho in after the Norwegian season is over in October, maybe? Done a pretty good job at Brann and knows the club.
I was pretty disheartened to hear about the contract extension despite the cup win, but I read elsewhere that it would make more sense to sort out managerial issues after this INEOS transition is sorted a bit. I guess that does make some sense - my thinking is, let Emma Hayes do a year in the US then say to her "You've managed the rest, now manage the best!"
Someone else suggested Ole - some of our players are fans and respect his legendary status. He's an advocate for the women's game, he supports his daughter as a player, and I don't think his tactics in the men's game were that bad. It wasn't his fault that a lot of our players couldn't be bothered to perform regardless of who was in charge.
The other thing with Skinnerrrrr! is how he doesn't play our full squad propery, as others said with regard to Irene Guerrero. It was the same with Adriana Leon. A skillful bully of a striker who practically carried the Canada team in the WC games I saw, and apparently she wasn't 'good enough' for us.

A very thoughtful post. I'd rep if I could, but I am not important enough
When will Skinner report back to Carrington for duty and how much is he in contact with the transfer department during this busy period of "free agency"?

No idea how reliable this is or not, but we could have the Wolfsburg manager taking over at the end of the 24/25 season. He’s already announced next season will be his last at Wolfsburg, and apparently he did some coaching with ten Hag at United last year. Anyone know how he’s regarded at Wolfsburg, and would this be a good appointment for us?
I honestly don't know. I've read a few fans who know him from Wolfsburg talking about him. I have a horrible feeling that we might be looking at switching one manager who gets criticised for getting obsessed with playing the same players every week with another one who does the same
What I don't know though is what his reputation is like on the other side of the story. Maybe he's great at bringing through young players, integrating new players, tactical astuteness, player morale etc?
Interesting to hear that we're talking to him though because it implies someone's paying attention, so I'll take that as a positive.
Why are some Man Utd fans booing boss Skinner?

When are we sacking this fraud?
Casey is still without a club and Martin Ho’s league season is finished…
I can but hope.
