The women's team following the example set by the men.
Win a cup, get absolutely tanked a week later

You’re welcome.
Congrats on the title. Not bothered at all about Chelsea winning over City but it feels almost embarrassing parading the FA Cup around the pitch after our worst ever defeat.
Oh well, on to next season.
Can we go back on Skinner’s contract?
Maybe this is one way we can use the top brass' apathy in our favour, in that they don't know he's signed a new one and just sack him anyway.
There might be other quotes but this is all I can find right now, and... yes.
edit - twitter links getting Musk'd.
Terrible idea
Yeah they have been on the beach since Sunday
Skinner:
I've heard so many managers take at least some of the blame even when it's obviously been the players who have fell short. Nothing like that from Skinner.
And then the "real supporters" shit. All of our fans will support the team forever, a lot of us just feel he's not the manager to take us forward. He continued the sentence: ”We have real supporters in our”… He was probably going to say fanbase but then realised that he was about to say that not all of our fans are what he would call real fans. After a 0-6 defeat at home.

More from Skinner:
Regarding the bolded parts, piss off.

He could have a squad of 100 and he would still use the same eleven and same subs over and over.
Exactly. Fecking bored of him. At least I don’t have to listen to him for a couple of months.
We're not 6-0 behind them, just 20 points and 43 in goal difference.
Indeed. Six behind Liverpool and 15 away from a CL spot.
So what is his excuse, injuries? Nope not that. He has a quality squad. Yet he wants even more, except we will likely lose more of our best players. Can only see the squad weakening with a weak manager.
Yep. If the results don’t go your way, try something else. I don’t know, maybe give your experienced World Cup winner a chance. Sick of his excuses.
Chelsea fantastic today.
United truly awful. Humbling.
We're a mid table side.
Look good v lower sides. Nowhere near Arsenal, City or Chelsea.
25 000 scratching their heads today. Not good but we're loyal.
The likes of Hinata just won't improve us IMO.
Keep Garcia FFS.

Skinner should be sacked after this.
Can’t believe he got a new contract.

Especially embarrassing because it was OT but I didn't even watch as was half expecting something like this
Meant so much for them with Hayes last game and WSL on the line, more or less a dead rubber for us after putting everything into last weekend

They have cute names for us and Arsenal too.

That's taken a crack team to come up with those names.
How imaginative
Congrats on the title, hard to feel good after a deserved thrashing, even with women’s team, but I hate City a lot more so silver linings I guess.
So are Spurs but they only lost by one to them. Embarrassing result, almost like Skinner wanted to personally pay tribute to Hayes.
Skinner out. He’s no better than ten Hag. Shameful result today, at least it stopped 115 Charges FC from winning.
Kind of funny that he's talking about knowing where we fall short and reflections.
Yeah anything stopping the cheats is a bonus
Must be honest, this is not a great look. If the men’s side did it, they’d be abused left, right and centre.
It's their end of term party. No formal bash on Monday - that got cancelled without them being notified, never mind consulted.
Some of the players have just played (or not played) their last match for United.
I can't begrudge them their party. Might have been more tactful to keep it off social media, but I can't really say it bothers me.
Yeah it’s the posting on social media that is the problem with me. Speaks volumes that not one other player did it. Just a misjudgement in my opinion.
You’d think they had partied enough this week but it’s understandable, as you said some of them are leaving etc.
Chelsea are good, they were up for it and United weren't. Started with mostly the same team that played in the FA Cup final, and the hangover seemed real - nothing to play for anymore.
Somehow trying to make himself look good after getting beaten 6-0 at Old Trafford.
”If you know anything about me, I’ve had a hard season. A hard, hard season.
”There’s been lots and lots I’ve had to deal with, but I’ve stood up every time. And I will stand up every time. And I will make sure that I get this team to where I want them to be, whether it kills me or not. I will get them where I want them to be.
”We ask for the emotions of managers, well actually sometimes you can’t show it. But today I can show it. And for me it’s that drive and ambition that I have personally to get this team and these fans where I want them to be. Which is winning titles, and that is my drive and it’s something that will not stop.”
Me/I: 16
Them: 4
We: 0
What a way to emphasize that team spirit and togetherness.
It's somewhat sickening. I understand that firing him after the FA Cup win might've seemed hard, but I hope we go for someone new during next season. I suggested in another thread to try for Martin Ho after the Norwegian season is over in October/November, he's been doing some good stuff there. I don't know whether he'd be the best candidate, but he worked under Stoney and presents himself a whole lot better than Skinner does.
Disastrous end to a very poor campaign. 18 wins last year. 10 this year. Goal difference dropped from 44 to 10. So many more goals conceded.
This is the result, and let's face it, a few others against the top 3 that the management need to ponder over the summer. Even Bristol C at home was a struggle.
