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.It's a win win. A guy who deserves another season gets at least that, and the perennial whingers polluting this forum day after day don't get their own way.
NoBy this logic, is it ever acceptable to want a manager sacked?

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.![]()
Couldn’t agree more, it’s like half the fan base have suddenly got amnesia.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.
You're definitely not alone, pal.Sure I'm not alone when I say my main emotion is one of relief... the relief of not having Southgate managing this club next season.
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.Means nothing. He'll be sacked at the first major bumpy patch once Southgate is freed up.
Can't see him lasting until xmas this timeUnbelievable
I'll give him the first two.Tweet

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 CopenhagenWould never happen under Woody and co.
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. Surviving 8th, negative goal difference and getting embarrassed by Galatasaray and CopenhagenWould never happen under Woody and co.
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.Bottled it. Terrible transfers, no style of play, 8th place and a minus goal difference, bottlejobed every game in Europe and all of it completely overlooked.
You're right, I meant not getting CL football.Jose and Ole both finished 6th (Ole’s not being a full season).
Honestly, what good is any of this if his tactics are not suited/good enough to succeed in this league?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
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.Can't see him lasting until xmas this time
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.Tweet

I won’t believe a word of it until
@TrebleChamp99 our resident ITK confirms it with one of his 2 sources.
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.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
Even a broken clock's right twice a daySimon Jordan in saying stupid things shocker.
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.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.

My sentiment as well. See you all for pre season.450m wasted on garbage

Not really. Which part is 'stupid'?Simon Jordan in saying stupid things shocker.
Yes...Guy has the most inexplicable level of juice I’ve ever seen. Fantasies of him walking out and being successful elsewhere when the reality is he finished 8th with United. A struggle 6th with Southgate would be an improvement.
- lowest league position since 1989-90.
- lost nine games at Old Trafford this term - their joint-most at home in a season.
- conceded a club-record 58 goals in a Premier League season.
- ended a league campaign with a negative goal difference for the first time since 1989-90
X, Y AND Z guess who staying in?I think every summer this is said without fail. Buy X, Y and Z and we'll see much improved football... And we never do.
Sadly a bit longer it seemsAvailable players really wasn't the issue, we were so awful to watch because of the setup we were using.
The best coach that fits with the style Ineos want to implement going forward.
Few more stages?Surgery as Rangnick described it circa early 2022 was major work to transform the squad. 10 players in and 10 out.
That's happened and more mate, as of now with the departures of Varane and Martial we've what 8 senior players left from the squad that finished the 2022 season.
As I said the surgery's done and it wasn't a success.
Rewind selector!Dream Team levels of fantasy. Just creating a storyline in your own head.
Exactly. I was going to accept both outcomes, and now it's time to enjoy the meltdownI 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.
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.I get your point but when else should this arbitrarily cutoff point to decide his future have been?
The FA cup final was a very significant game and the performance (regardless of the result) was very, very good.
