STEPHEN HOWSON DESTROYS INEOS! 🤬 (EXPLOSIVE RANT)

What did you think?

Stephen Howson starts with a concession: "Michael Carrick has not been perfect." But his objection is to what happens above the manager, particularly when the end of a job becomes public before a face-to-face conversation.

"The people appointing him have got something wrong, either in sacking him or hiring him in the first place," he says, addressing Rio Ferdinand off-camera.

The podcast clip has passed 100,000 views in fourteen hours, putting it on course for roughly eight times Howson's usual first-day audience for a Short. The comments have already comfortably exceeded his usual full-day response, with Carrick's treatment a recurring subject.

Howson's account follows an uncomfortable sequence. He says Carrick discovered the impending dismissal on Twitter on Monday evening, then had to report to Carrington and conduct training the next morning with photographers outside. According to Howson, an in-person meeting was delayed until Wednesday because club officials were travelling to Monaco.

His frustration extends to the succession. He criticises information about Mauricio Pochettino's arrival emerging before Carrick was officially gone, then questions how much preparation the prospective replacement would have before facing Liverpool at Anfield.

That argument also runs through Howson's separate upload, "8 Managers. 13 Years. ONE Pattern.": changing the coach does not answer his question about who takes responsibility for choosing one.
