Fletcher interim appointment prompts fan call for vote of no confidence

Goal reports United have appointed former midfielder Fletcher as interim boss as they ponder how to replace Amorim permanently, a decision that has prompted protest group The '58 to call for a vote of no confidence in the club's chiefs.

A spokesperson told the Mail: "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. It has been an extraordinary and deeply troubling few days at Manchester United. 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."

The statement said the move was "allegedly endorsed by Omar Berrada, a CEO with no prior experience in the role, listening to the complaints of a close ally rather than exercising independent leadership" and added: "We call for a vote of no confidence in the ownership, Berrada and Wilcox." It accused the club's leadership of running United "like a local corner shop, penny pinching, short term, and utterly devoid of vision" and said "Over $1 billion has already been sucked out of Manchester United at the altar of greed." United are still considering how to appoint a permanent replacement for Amorim.
