I feel some of this is very unfair. Yes Voice did a terrible challenge on Alves but that  hardly warrants the accusation that anyone is comfortable with that. 

 

We do have some attitude problems from one or two in the first team though. Both Lemina and now Cunha have become over emotional and acted like idiots when given the captain's armband. Some of the mentality clearly needs looking at, and that is a hangover from Gary O'Neil's tenure unfortunately. 

Seeing as he is still employed by you and seems to be progressing through the youth set up, I would suggest your club seems very comfortable with it

Given that clubs stick by players who are accused of all sorts of crimes, is it really that unbelievable that one bad challenge on the football pitch doesn't instantly get a player sacked? Your club would do exactly the same and probably have done in the past. 

 

And we do have form for getting rid of youth players with bad attitudes and even drug problems. We used to be a club that had a strong "no dickheads" rule under Nuno, but that unfortunately seems to be waning in recent years.

This is true. We wouldn’t have sacked one of our youth players if they’d done the same.

Didn't say it would be unbelievable, just said that your initial point that your club are uncomfortable with it wasn't correct.

Cunha is an idiot but that hardly warrants anything more than the standard ban.

Will get an extra game due to it being a second red card .

Wayne Rooney having the audacity to comment on any Premier League manager is even funnier than Gary Nevillle citing his time at Valencia as a qualifier for giving an opinion.

I think there's a lot of space between "we are completely comfortable with his actions" and "he needs to be sacked for his actions".

Howe thinking the Gordan red card could be overturned is laughable.

I think he's starting to get a bit unsettled there. Unless they win the League Cup final which looks unlikely with Isak out that's another season of him being backed and having nothing to show for it. There's only a certain amount of time that continues.

He acted like a knob. Referee had already blown the whistle but then he continues grappling until he throws an arm out.

 

Players get away with enough already. I'm glad he got sent off.

The Thailand 3 didn't last long, nor Pearson (albeit different circumstances).

3 youth players with a obvious lack of ability to play at Premier League level.

He went off injured yesterday, I've seen news (maybe rumours) today that he will miss the final.

'Course it is. Just an example of a leader that would take action if appropriate. Not a good look for the King Power brand.

Quite funny though that now Amorim actually has a worse record at Man Utd than Neville did at Valencia.  He should be milking that cow until it's deader than the economy.
