"On the pitch, we are watching mediocre performances from an average team drifting without identity, direction or ambition. Off it, the chaos is even worse. Amorim was dismissed on Monday after 14 months amid tensions with Wilcox over tactics, resulting in the former United player Darren Fletcher taking charge at Burnley. The Portuguese led the club to a 15th-placed finish, their worst in Premier League history and a Europa League final defeat against Tottenham."
"After lurching from one disaster to another, Ratcliffe comes across as an incompetent clown turning the club into a circus. Instead of best in class we're a laughing stock, the 1958 said. There was a sign of discontent during United's 2-2 draw on Wednesday at Turf Moor, where a banner was held in the away end stating Jim Can't Fix This."
The 1958 supporters group has called for a vote of no confidence in Manchester United's ownership model and will stage a protest at the home match against Fulham on 1 February. The group demands removal of the Glazer family and Sir Jim Ratcliffe and criticises chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox after the sacking of Ruben Amorim. Amorim was dismissed after 14 months amid tactical tensions with Wilcox, with Darren Fletcher taking interim charge at Burnley. The 1958 cited poor on-pitch performances, lack of identity and off-field chaos, referenced a banner reading 'Jim Can't Fix This', and focuses on ticket prices and fan treatment.
