    So, exit it is then.

    He’s got no interest in apologising because that’s essentially backtracking on calling ETH a liar, which most will generally take to mean he was lying himself.

    For all the “United is a talent graveyard” comments (and they’re not entirely untrue) it’s so frustrating to have the ‘talent’ be so lazy and unmotivated.

      The thing is a lot of talents you bought over the past years seem to be lazy and unmotivated but maybe that’s just survivorship bias on my side. It does look like there’s a lack of mental coaching going on.

        Generally people need to be motivated by something, and it seems like the club isn’t giving them much to be motivated or inspired by.

      Based on performances do you think he is lying? Like was he that bad on the pitch? iirc he had a good pre season.

      Allegedly he was having mental health issues. It’s always odd to me that people say this kind of thing, but when a player speaks out about the abuse they get and how they are treated by the public everyone jumps on the bandwagon and shows sympathy. Unmotivated maybe, but maybe he has some shit going on that makes it difficult to do his job. If I expressed that I had a mental health issue and my boss started telling people I was lazy or whatever (if he said that) ain’t no way I’m apologizing about that.

      I guess now it’s time for people to dogpile until he comes out saying he lost a cousin or something and everyone will say people were too hard.

      I still think there is a little bit of a pattern with talent going United and then fizzling out into nothing.
