      Might be the one right thing he says during his ownership. Need to make a decision at the end of the season.

      Agreed, no need to rush to sign a permanent manager at all. 

      I’d be completely fine as of now with Carrick taking a longer Interim role if it means we could take longer on a real process weighing every option, If Carrick ends up the manager after that I have 0 complaints. 

      Either way i’m very happy for what he’s done for the club, and I hope if he doesn’t get the job here his managerial career is reignited somewhere else.

      Well he’s white, English, and male so that’s already three big ticks in big sir Jim’s book.

      We don’t want a repeat of what happened with Ole. Get to the end of the season and see what things are like then.

      Sensible answer. I would like Carrick, but ultimately I hope whomever is appointed will take the club were it belongs: the top of world football.

      They’ve said a decision will be made at the end of the season so why are the media constantly trying to get us to commit to naming Carrick? it ridiculous they just trying to derail the process.
