What irks me is the word "deserve". He doesn't deserve anything. If we provide him the chance to have another season, he would not have earnt it. It would be us simply giving him another opportunity. The performances and results he produced last season were not good enough and as a club, we should not feel obligated to a manager. It's either we believe he can take us forward or we don't believe he can take us forward. We shouldn't be wasting seasons on semantics.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
A “review” of the footballing season surely can’t take this long.
Hmm. But by not making the announcement, we are hurting our preparations for next season. Shooting ourselves in the foot.
Would be typical of how we’ve gone about a few things in recent history though so maybe you’re right!
The point certainly is that but from a prospective players’ perspective, there would be hesitancy in joining a club without not knowing who the manager is. After all, the manager is the one who picks the team sheet.
You kill joy, taking away my pleasure.
Spoil sport. You've ruined my day.
YES ! But the stats were saying something different until people pointed out that they are fake.
I've just had 24 of them.
But but but injuries and his stubbornness and quite a bit of stupidity haven't helped. If all those could be improved, who knows ?
But, yea, that doesn't look great. Maybe it was just a blip ?
That line makes no sense really.By whom?
"We're conducting a thorough review and will then decide. But it's delayed so we might just have to hand him a contract."
Are these journalists just trying to turn fans on Ineos? Making them sound like fecking idiots.
I feel the same, which is mad. These two dam cups keep telling me he could be ok. When I know he's a complete burke.
Sorry mate, but this is a stupid post. Yes, ETH was stubborn beyond reason at times, but injuries were a genuine problem. If you cannot understand that playing in a certain way requires certain players then I’m sorry for you.
I don't know if my desire to see a change has altered. I have, however, now accepted that it is most probable that he is staying.
So a few more won't really hurt..
Ignore it it's not correct.
New contract to tide him over then more money to pay when we sack him for Southgate at Christmas.

Will all those who want him gone be prepared to get behind him and the team if he is kept on?
If he got 3rd and won the europa league next season would that be considered a big step back in the right direction?

Well if the football is anything like the last 9 months, they'll hurt greatly.
Exactly!
Yes, of course you go into the season hoping for the best.
Depends where we finish in the league. We could win the EL but finish 7th-10th. Would that make you think we're going in the right direction?
Why not? The vast majority of people support the club not a manager, so regardless of who is managing the team they will be behind the club and hope that everything goes as well as possible.
Maybe ineos are spreading these Southgate rumours to find the leak in the camp?
Well, if he is appointed, I will have absolutely no faith in any Ineos decisions.
It does seem increasingly likely that INEOS will keep ETH and then sack him in mid-season for Southgate, once Southgate has take all the time off he needs after the Euros are done with.
You and me both mate
Wont make a jot of difference if people 'get behind him' or not. The outcome will be the same, managed by Southgate by this time next year at the very latest.
It's all about the football for me. Even if we won nothing next year, I'd be happy if I could see for myself that we're heading in the right direction. I've not felt that so far under ETH and actually think we've gone backwards this season. I can see what he's trying to do, but I just don't like it. I don't think it's title winning football in the PL.
I also think some of his in game decisions are bewildering at times, and he seems incredibly slow to come to conclusions that fans reached weeks before him. His eye for a player is poor, and that raises more questions for me with regards to how good he is at assessing opposition players and finding the best roles for his players.

Romano just said Tuchel is being discussed by United this week. Nothing definitive yet on Ten Hag.
Did you really just put Fergie and Arteta in the same bracket!
United announce intention to announce decision
Just checked his Twitter, definitely seems like he might have the inside track.

Close is a relative term. For example in the life cycle of the Sun, it's close to becoming a red Giant and engulfing the Earth.
In 4-5 billion years.
Well that's perfectly logical, and if the relentless Southgate rumours weren't around, nobody would have much issue. That rumour is hanging over us like a dark cloud raining acid.
im thinking the same
They're waiting on Gareth.
Reluctant to sack without a clear plan to appoint a replacement... So why does it take so long for us to have a plan? It's not like we had to wait until the season is over to start making plans.
That would be up there for the most downright weirdest way to go about appointing a new manager in the history of association football.
If Southgate were the next Ancelotti I'd be ok with this, as shitty as it would be for ETH himself. But Gareth is no Carlo, not even close.
