The no alternative line is so funny, he was 100% getting sacked if we lost the final. This is basically the club throwing away another season. Well I hope there are alternatives available next summer
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

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.
Anyone saying INEOS are just like Glazers this early just because of their decision to keep Ten Hag should take off their clown nose and stop being embarrassing.
Good decision, now let's prepare for the new season!

So Ten Hag is staying...for now.
But as a fan going back to the Tommy Doc days this all smacks of utter desperation. It is known that talks have been held to sound out alternatives. Thomas Tuchel, being one, rejected the club. And no attempt to quash speculation over Ten Hag's future, not even the dreaded vote of confidence, has been attempted till now.
This looks like the act of a club with nowhere to go in succession and now what of transfers. I won't hold my breath when we are strongly linked with a yet another underwhelming Dutch connection player in Joshua Zirkzee.
The question is...will Ten Hag even have the desire for the job even if he wants to continue. Or are both sides waiting till his contract expires at the end of the coming season, with on the club side, no compensation to pay.
My hope above all else is that somehow we can start looking forward and upwards. But this all feels so wrong.

Won't get even half that.
The scenes when ETH tells them he’s leaving for a new club
The briefings seem to point to that already having been agreed.
Our rivals probably also celebrated keeping SAF back in the day :copium:
All based on one game pretty much. If we had lost 2-1 to city would he still be here?
450m wasted on garbage
8th placed finish
Negative goal difference after 38 games
Dead last in the CL group with 2 cannon fodder teams
Rushing players back and running them into the ground
Congrats to everyone who wanted this loser to stay. Enjoy the summer.

Good news, people can stop making a drama of the silence. I think from the moment we won the cup the speculation on the manager has been largely generated by journalists to create a story out of nothing.
The media muppets are looking like complete fools now. As expected they didn't now shit. Emberassing really.
Fa cup didn't happen I guess

I wouldn't get caught up with the worry of opponent banter.
Yes if we give him another several hundred million pounds worth of players and he still keeps us mid table we can get rid of him
Fine with that by has come very late in the day. Let's see some quality recruitment and push for top four. No excuses.
Absolutely every article stated we decided against him ?
The extension is a misguided attempt of showing support to a manager they have openly undermined. A good way to double down on their own mistake and ensure the pay-off will be bigger when the inevitable happens.
U mad bro?
Glad its been put to bed finally. Now we can move on with the reality, instead of the fantasy.
I'm not, it just an indication to me
Good news. Been Ten Hag out for much of the season but with all the changes around the club, stability in that sense is good for now, and you just can't sack a manager after he wins a major trophy. He did a lot of good, his fair share of bad too but it was a shit show of a situation so I'm looking forward to seeing what he does next season fresh.
INEOS have acted like clowns this summer though.
I can't argue against hypotheical options. You just say "hire the exiting up and coming coaches". If we got linked with ANY of them, bar McKenna, we could have a conversation. I'm not saying take the easy option. I'm say, based on the options the fans knew about, I don't know what fans wanted after the most competent options were not actually options.
I'm not surprised, it seemed clear the longer this went on that this would be the outcome. I imagine they were spurred to put this out by the last few days and the speculation/reporting getting wilder.
Oh well. Best get on with it then. Better find a better way of playing next year, cause the football this season gone was shite.

Says who?
Believe it when I see it.
Or they include break clauses based on performance metrics...
Luckiest man alive, survived because there’s no one else available that could arguably improve us. However I’ll get behind him again until he gives me reason not to. Let’s hope there have been some massive learnings this season otherwise it will be embarrassing come Christmas time.
Whatever way you look at it, what confidence is there in Ten Hag from the hierarchy when they are sniffing around for a replacement.
It's a poor indicator. Arsenal fans might be driving some of it and they were mostly Arteta out themselves 3 seasons ago.
Liverpool fans will always talk shit.
I don't know what's worse between this or how the Glazers did LVG after the FA Cup win
We'd have to hope as part of him staying on he's been told to drop his bonkers no midfield tactics.
And maybe a positive way to look at it is, last season was so bad not only from a results perspective but even more so in terms of performances that it would be really difficult to not improve upon that.
Should have been sacked before the season ended and the FA cup win. Ridiculous from Ineos. They dont want him and dont believe in him anyway. It is just holding us back for more years and postponing the inevitable sacking.
Allright, over to you recruitment- the pressure is on. It is fairly obvious what we need, so get to it.
Sigh.
He better be kept on a very short leash.

Glad it's finally resolved. Happy for ETH he can mug off the 'journalists' we have now, they deserve it. In the conditions of who is available it's the best choice to go one more year - the extension if there is one needs to be worded carefully but if he is confident of improvement that shouldn't be hard to achieve.
We need as fans to get behind him now, if we have one bad result and all the wailing and moaning starts again its going to be hell of a long bad year for everyone, so hopefully for once we are balanced about it*. Berrada and Ashworth need to get in asap, get the squad and other issues sorted and start getting the party started.
* who am I kidding. There will already be the crying and Ineos out the very first second we don't do something correctly in a game.
