The brutal world of football management

The life of a young Premier League coach is precarious.
On Saturday, Michael Carrick faced Liam Rosenior. Manchester United had one shot on target, Chelsea hit the woodwork three times.
But it was United who got the win to leave them needing two victories from their final five games to be certain of returning to the Champions League after a two-year absence. Meanwhile, Rosenior is out of a job.
Carrick lost his job at Middlesbrough after results deteriorated after an excellent early impact.
It will be interesting to hear his observations when he speaks to the media later on Thursday so return to this page for all the key lines.
