Erik ten Hag | 2024/25 | Sacked
- Thread starter Cheimoon
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?

Porto and Villa away next? He's gone.
Would the gardening leave guys be of any use ?
Anything In the press, twitter? Any rumours?
Want to read tomorrow that he’s been sacked.
He will probably fluke a draw at Porto and lose at Villa but with some mitigating circumstances (he already has one as Bruno won’t play).
Surely he's the feck out now. Anyone could see Bruno needed to have a spell on the bench
Even if we beat Porto (doubtful) and lose to Villa, he still absolutely should be gone. He should really be gone by tomorrow if INEOS are actually serious.
When he said eras come to an end, this is what he meant I guess.
Their job is to do what is best for the football club. And extending the contract of a manager that was obviously out of his depth on the back of one game because some fans thought that was enough to give him another season was a pretty fecking stupid idea.
Nah Porto match will be Costa having a world class performance and Onana having a couple of howler moments. So obvious that's gonna happen.
And being the dumbass narcissist he is, once he gets the sack, guaranteed he won’t stop slandering the club and still make excuses that it was a project and he wasn’t given time.
This xG nonsense is a confected non-stat invented for the Sky generation to crack one off over when they not playing Warhammer. Get a grip man, it means nothing.
It would be an investment at this stage to pay him off.
What a joke.
can we start a gofundme
I'm waiting for the Madrid derby to start and there's an interview with the Leganes young(35-40 years old) coach. Didn't hear his name but he was saying that players all the time(24/7) are analyzing him and his weaknesses.
I wonder what ManUTD players really think of ETH.

Can't remember. Probably took some abuse for saying it wasn't as amazing a performance as some made out in the days that followed when everyone was saying we should keep Ten Hag but I don't care. Certainly doesn't mean I wasn't happy with the win.
Why? We didn't give him a new contract, just triggered an extra year option on his current contract
"Manchester United fans know very little about football" is such an evergreen quote
I've been to several large sports stores in malls, in the US, Brazil, and other parts of Latin America. The club gear being showcased is always the same: the local club(s), City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Real, Barca, maybe Bayern and/or PSG.
No United anywhere to be seen.
Absolutely mate I'm genuinely at the stage where I don't give a feck if we go through 6-7 in a 5 year period or even 2-3 in a season if need be. Enough of this 3-4 year project bullshit, the manager of Manchester United generally has the players and/or the resources to finish 3rd-4th at minimum.
I don't care if we're doing ok in some metrics tables, I only care about the actual table. 4th or they're sacked should be the benchmark, it's about time United started having some self respect and some standards. We used to go into season expecting to win the title never mind compete for it. Post Fergie it was hoping to finish 2nd-4th. We went into this season after spending £600m+ hoping we might, might compete for 4th for fecks sake, now it looks like we could be in a scrap to even finish in the top half.
Lack of standards and giving a succession of failing managers too much rope has lead us here. It's time this club became ruthless again.

Absolutely. Retaining a coach because he won a one-off match? Really? Absolutely baffling. Competent leaders dont make long-term decisions on the basis of one event.
It's irritating we're in this position considering the time for him to go was the summer. Another example of really poor decision-making from the club.
Feel like Ineos will double down on their support for ETH. Statement already drafted
RELAX
And now?
Kinda a weird thing to say straight after beating Manchester City in a cup final. I mean, at that point I was completely done with him, but going online to criticise the win certainly wouldn't be the first thing that would have come to mind.
What's amusing is that there's absolutely no way you find any issue with that win if Ole wins it. I just hate the little fan clubs for our ex managers. I'll hate the ETH one too.

Probably
Spurs,
Liverpool this season
Last season
Liverpool FA Cup
Bournemouth
That's already 4 games, in not so big time spread. My head is spinning now, can't remember everything but probably it's true.
If he has over 25 games with over 3+ since he was manager then finding only 8 games in a range of games isn't hard
But, seriously the football quality and results have deteriorated massively for the last 18 Months.
Hopefully we got a sack option in that contract that don’t cost us a small fortune.
Even if we beat both of them 3-0 he should be gone. He’s horrible. One off games won’t change that.
But we’ve really come to a point where I can’t even envision us winning at Villa except via massive, massive fluke like we did last year.
Stop with the excuses. If Ten Hag’s approach can’t be coached into a team in two years even when he himself is the one doing the coaching, then there is very obviously a fundamental problem with that approach.
I agree that he should’ve been fired in the summer, but fans have to take their blame in this. The clamour for him to stay, after the FA cup win, was overwhelming. Putting Ineos in a lose-lose scenario. Ultimately they gave the vast majority of fans what they wanted. And sometimes that’s what you have to do, just to remind the fans how fecking stupid most of them are.
We finished 8th, setting all sorts of negative records in the process. How any fan supported him staying is beyond me, but the poll results went from a large majority wanting him out, to a decent majority wanting him to stay, after one game. I argued with people until I was blue in the face about how ridiculous their positions were, but people weren’t to be told. He’d won a trophy. Support the manager etc etc. Just fecking stupid.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid have fired managers despite winning the CL, because they underperformed in the league. Elite super club vs morally superior fallen giant. I know which I’d rather be. Ruthlessness starts at the top. We have the players to be a good team. We certainly have the players not to lose 3 of our first 6 games, getting HUMILIATED at home 3-0, twice, before the end of September by our rivals.
Every day this man remains in charge, is a day too long.

We are stuck now with a load of Dutchies and players ETH wanted. Let's hope the next man in can sort that out for a start
Whenever these things come up I never see Fabregas’ name mentioned. Como is doing really well, and he was always looked at as a “football genius”. He’s come out of excellent structured systems and learned from some fantastic managers.
Xabi Alonso and others are obvious choices lots of teams want.
Since he’s also an owner maybe Fabregas would be complicated.
Not remotely surprising.
Shouldn’t last the night, shocking and process isn’t working or has a direction.
