Carrick In, Chelsea’s Rosenior Risk & Rooney’s FA Cup Miracle | Stick to Football EP 111

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE. In this episode, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright react to a turbulent period at Manchester United. Following the departure of Ruben Amorim, the team look back on his time at the club and discuss what ultimately led to his exit. Attention then turns to Michael Carrick, who has stepped in on an interim basis. Is this the right appointment for United, and could Carrick earn the role permanently if results go his way, or do the club need to look elsewhere in a chaotic manager market? There’s also movement elsewhere, with Chelsea making a change as Enzo Maresca departs and Liam Rosenior comes in. Is this a gamble for the club, and how risky is handing out long term contracts in the modern game? Super 6 returns as the team make their predictions, before we finish with one of the stories of the season.
