How much does sacking Carrick cost?
Sacking a head coach like Michael Carrick can be very expensive for a club. If he has a long contract, Manchester United would likely have to pay him the remainder of his salary, even if he's no longer working for them. This is a common practice in football, meaning clubs can be paying multiple former managers simultaneously, sometimes for years.
