THE WORRY WITH WILCOX 🧵
Fan sentiment towards Jason Wilcox feels increasingly negative, and while I think some of the criticism is unfair, there are legitimate questions surrounding his influence at Manchester United.
This isn’t intended as a hit piece. Wilcox is highly regarded within football, his academy work at Manchester City deserves recognition and not every decision at United ultimately belongs to him.
But he’s now one of the most powerful footballing figures at the club. With that influence should come scrutiny.
So, what are the concerns with Jason Wilcox? 🧵
With Christmas fast approaching, keep an eye out for these two men, known as The Inept Bandits, who have been robbing a living at the expense of Manchester United fans. 🎄

Luke Shaw getting coached by Maurico Pochettino at Old Trafford, October 2013.🧠🤯
The caveat in these Pochettino reports “if Manchester United decide to part ways with Michael Carrick” is pretty funny. 😂

This Arsenal fan pretty much predicted how Manchester United’s season would go under Michael Carrick! 😂

Sometimes I find myself thinking about the players we could have bought for the £50m we paid for Andrey Santos.
If Poch comes in, I wouldn’t be surprised if Luke Shaw reappears from injury and plays every game until the end of the season. 😂
🚨 JUST IN:
Luke Shaw is targeting a RETURN to action for Manchester United against Liverpool. #MUFC [@ChrisWheelerDM, @NathSalt1]

In any other job, if you made one bad decision after another that cost your company millions upon millions of pounds, you’d be shown the door.
How many more chances is Jason Wilcox going to get?
It’s also important to have competent people at the top!

Here he is discussing the drill he uses to help improve fitness, called the “Gacon Test”.
“It’s horrendous but it’s 10 minutes.”

Pros:
- uses youth
- proven he can adapt & work without massive funds
- style of football is exactly what United need
- floor raiser & conditioning expert
- prem experience across almost a decade
- managed many different situations & players isn’t a one-club coach like ETH, Amorim & Carrick
Cons:
- best years behind him?
- mid season conditioning dip worries
- the squad has no central mobility / hard counter pressures and open rest defence
- how much can he extract with the current crop
- how much does his usp of running, counter pressing & jumping dominate the ‘modern’ prem
Mauricio Pochettino is one of the best managers in world football when it comes to developing and improving players. With the talent coming through our academy, alongside the likes of Yoro, Heaven, Lacey and Mainoo, he feels like an excellent fit for Manchester United.
