So even when Skinner got (semi) decent players he didn't know what to do with them. The board already said, a few weeks (months?) before they wanted him gone with the result he got. Why they kept him then and not now is the real question. There seems to have something happened between then and now. It could be that Skinner didn't get the support/players he wanted, but I assume that's happened before so if it's him what exactly happened. The problem could actually also be Skinner himself, because if Millie Turner (who was a starting player when she wasn't injured) and her fiancé and Melvine Malard left, because something happened with Skinner that could also be a reason why the board wants Skinner to leave now.

As a City fan I don't know what happened. It could be the board or it could be Skinner. If it's Skinner a new coach could certainly make a difference and even if it wasn't Skinner fresh eyes, especially thinking of the quality of the players and also the ending of the season, can still make a huge difference. Having said that the board was also at least partly at fault, because they should have taken care of this at the end of last season.

I definitely think it’s a combination of both, I mean i’ve seen lots of united fans talk about certain players seemingly not liking skinner and coupled with the fact he has underperformed when he has a good squad/players multiple times

but also the club just cares very little about the women, and don’t care to invest or give beyond the bare minimum of support and that has to be a major reason why he wouldn’t want to stay.
