CARRICK: LONG CONTRACT, SHORT SHELF LIFE.

The real news

The story, straight

A football league rewards results: a win earns 3 points, a draw earns 1, and defeat earns none. Finish in the Premier League's bottom 3 and you drop into the division below.

History doesn't pay the points bill.

Manchester United sacked Michael Carrick on 12 November. According to AP, United are 18th of 20 with 8 points from 10 games and just 1 league win.

It is their worst start in 40 years, not their worst season ever.

Carrick received a 2-year contract less than 6 months before his dismissal. His last match was a 4-4 draw with Aston Villa, not a defeat.

In our imaginary returns department, I'm wheeling Carrick and his still-wrapped manager's chair back to the counter. Apparently the long-term project didn't survive the packaging.

Changing the coach changes who prepares the team and makes tactical decisions. It doesn't change points already earned.

The useful test for United's next appointment is better results, not a more convincing arrival photograph.
