Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
I'd argue the posters in here don't actually represent the match going fanbase. I spent 3 days in London for cupfinal..never spoke to a single fan who wanted him gone.
The result for me means he deserved at least another year with finally a proper modern football team structure behind him, helping him, letting him coach the fecking team instead of being everyone .
He came from a similar structure to the shit we have had running the club in recent years.
Give him the help, tools and support he needs and he might surprise us all.
1. It's not Gareth fecking Southgate (who should have won the last two tournaments with england)
2. It's not touchel (will fall out with INEOs in 3 or 4 weeks)
The rest don't warrant a mention
I think he has the dressing room.
That's and support is all.he needs. Once he has the dressing room anything is possible. If they believe in him, he has the support from back room, anything is possible
No
How the standards have fallen. Long season ahead I feel. Pretty obvious this was happening a couple of days ago with the briefs on Sancho, Tuchel and Poch.

The new structure being more inept than the previous one was not on my bingo card. Surviving 8th, negative goal difference and getting embarrassed by Galatasaray and CopenhagenThis club never learns.
Would never happen under Woody and co.Couldn’t agree more, it’s like half the fan base have suddenly got amnesia.
Feck it , I’m along for the ride, I just hope we are wrong by some miracle
You're definitely not alone, pal.
Nah. Like I said previously, I believe he’s completely safe for all of next season and up until middle of the following one regardless of results. If things are very bad then they will revisit but if he survived last season the bar for the upcoming couple of years has to be very, very low or else it’s unfair.
Can't see him lasting until xmas this time
I'll give him the first two.
Not sure he did much to mitigate the damage around the injuries though considering his tactics. He also bought two of the glass legged individuals that were perma sick notes. Bad luck maybe...
It's ok, we'll sack him in January and bring in the Manager they've wanted all along, Mr.Southgate.The new structure being more inept than the previous one was not on my bingo card. Surviving 8th, negative goal difference and getting embarrassed by Galatasaray and Copenhagen
The new structure isn’t even in place yet. This season was a write off anyway. Our recruitment team isn’t in place. Our CEO isn’t in place. Our director of football isn’t in place.The new structure being more inept than the previous one was not on my bingo card.

I do love me some of the tears from Erik hater extremist, I was fine either way, there was argument for both decisions, but the haters can only see one way and screech "excuses" constantly.
Agreed on all counts here but I just hope that the health of the squad miraculously turns around as so many seem to believe so that we can see what a fit side can do.
Given what was on show the few times the team was relatively healthy, I can't say I expect much of a difference but that's the only potential silver lining I can see here even though injuries are absolutely part of the game for everybody.
I also hope the club manage to be decisive in the market for a change and really address key needs for the club long term rather than wasting time in the summer trying to buy exactly who the manager wants.
Hope we get news of outgoings to wasn't his over soon too
You're right, I meant not getting CL football.
Trophies is such a terrible argument for keeping a manager. League cup is a rubbish trophy and cup runs require an insane level of luck. Premier league is so strong at the top right now, even getting a CL spot would be an achievement for him next season
Honestly, what good is any of this if his tactics are not suited/good enough to succeed in this league?
Simon Jordan in saying stupid things shocker.
I can’t see what he could possibly do to get fired from here. Barring some ridiculous run where we look like we are genuinely threatened with relegation (obviously not going to happen) we are not going to regress much from last season.
I really hope that this footballing set up we’re putting in place will have a list of potential successors in place at any given time so that we don’t shelve our plans to sack a manager just because the review with Poch and Tuchel didn’t go so well.
Simon Jordan takes the same approach to raw meat in the fridge. When he bought those chicken breast two months ago they looked bloody appetising and no amount of woke hysteria will force him to reconsider or reassess whether he still wants to eat them today after 7 a side.
Funnily enough, fair reason to argue that Arteta (let alone SAF) wouldn't have got the time he did had he not got a major trophy under his belt with the club early doors.
Looks like we are stuck with him then. Not the decision I wanted, hope I'm wrong.
Here's hoping for a much improved season.

He has enough credit in the bank with trophies each season but the jury is surely still out.
Let's hope we kick on now.

Confidently been behind the club sacking the manager since the new year.
Said if INEOS back the manager they will have to award him with a new contract.
It's the right decision from a sporting and directive perspective, you can't go into the new season and plan efficiently without the club having a strong consensus behind the manager.
However, being that it's approaching the third consecutive season in charge I think anything below top four and at least a semi-final in the Europa league should warrant the managers dismissal.
The team also need to play more successfully across the board from a tactical standpoint and the season after next (25/26) the team has to challenge as it's exactly what Ratcliffe highlighted in the time period within his interview a few months back.
Erik is on the cusp of being the most back manager for resources if the club spend 200m he would have spent half a billion, the club has to demand the league from him within a 24 month period.
If those are the conditions which are perfectly reasonable then INEOS have made the right decision because the impetus is on the manager to deliver, not a situation of fleeting expectations.

Even a broken clock's right twice a day
It's not really. Trophies are a huge part of the job. Not the only part and the others were why he nearly got the chop, but it's not a terrible argument, it's a fairly good one. That's what we're in the game to do, win stuff.
My sentiment as well. See you all for pre season.
I understand the logic of keeping him on, but I genuinely think this season will be the first in my life where I don't start with a renewed sense of optimism.
Wanted him gone. Desperately, if I’m honest. But will support him now he’s been chosen to stay.
An absolutely shocking move. The club has gone. INEOS will just manage the brand. This decision is bad news for Manchester United as a football team.
Not a thing will change. ETH has proven to be an extremely limited coach.
They are keeping him because no one wants the job. What an utter, utter, utter shambles.
Erik Ten Hag. Unreal.

Not really. Which part is 'stupid'?
Yes...
X, Y AND Z guess who staying in?
Sadly a bit longer it seems
Few more stages?
Rewind selector!
Exactly. I was going to accept both outcomes, and now it's time to enjoy the meltdown
It wasn't just a very good performance, but a well planned performance. The manager set the team up differently for the last two league games of the season, in preparation for the FA Cup final. He was lucky in the fact that these games were both against posession based teams, so provided a perfect chance to practice.
New contract as well. We'll get exactly what we deserve.
Yes! Get in! Correct decision. Now give him an extension and lets see what we can do.
