Club ownership | Senior management team talk

If we go for an interim, you need a coach that suits the current crop of players. It rules out Potter or Sarri.
Low would be a fun appointment for a year. But if Tuchel is available now, that is the move we should make, get him in early and let him work.
Look like ETH will keep his job for now. He will be the manager for Brentford game. I think he himself can't believe that he is still in the job.
I can't see any possibility ETH could turn this around. The longer Ineos Team drag this will look very bad on them.

as I said in the summer - and got all kinds of abuse for it on here - new faces, same clowns
It looks like we have set up a new link with Lausanne
They sacked Fergie before Ten Hag
Lets all act as if there is only one alternative. If Tuchel didnt wow the board in the summer, he should not get the job now either just because Ten Hag is rubbish.
We need to get a coach who they think is good enough.
Clear their main focus is cutting costs, sacking Ten Hag would have gone against that.
Because failing to qualify for Europe won't cost us a penny? Keeping Ten Hag is going to cost us a lot more than saving him would
I'm sure they'll have done the maths.
Realistically it would be much less than 17m. That's a tabloid-generated figure that assumes his severance would be equal to the sum of all his salary payments between now and the end of his contract.
Never thought I'd prefer the Sheikh
You're assuming they think we'll definitely miss out on Europe.
And that we will get Europe if we sack ETH.
Exactly. And with the squad he's built I'd be far from sure.
Well if they think Ten Hag will get us into Europe never mind the top four then they really are idiots of the highest order
And if you get a Ralf Ragnick type response from an interim you end up having to pay Ten Hag, paying an interim and no Europe. That would be worst case scenario with best case scenario being Ten Hag getting us into Europe. If they are looking at it solely from a financial perspective than keeping Ten Hag until the summer and risking not getting Europe may be the middle of the road option. I suspect in an ideal world they would not want to sack Ten Hag but that hand may be forced if things get even worse.
Ragnick got us into Europe
The fake sheikh? What was he bringing to the equation?
I’ve got a feeling that they will sack the manager if we lose to Brentford and we’d have just wasted the international break
Amateurs. Kept underperforming manager twice and allowed way better managers (and free) managers to sign for another teams. Now they just need to hire Potter or Southgate next month to make debacle complete.
It is like Ed and John never left.

I actually doubt it. The stories coming out now are that his sacking wasn't even considered. Even if this isn't true and they did discuss it, they would have made the decision to stick with him keeping in mind that losing to Brentford is a very real possibility. There really wasn't a better time to sack him than this last break so I think he will be here at least until Christmas, but probably to the end of the season.
So I assume you believe you've been proven right, checks notes, 7 league games into the very first full season under Ineos?
Wait till we hire Alonso in the summer what will you say then? These lot will go for the best as they have done for their other appointments. Tuchel was never it
We have higher chance of hiring Fernando Alonso the two times F1 champion than Xabi.
The best? Who of their appointments is "the best" in his job?
That won't happen
We’ll see
Berrada and Ashworth were best in class appoiintments
We’ll see
Remains to be seen

It's our version of "massive, massive club" and it's equally as cringy.
But that means absolutely nothing. There's absolutely nothing quantifiable at play when people use the term. It's just a phrase.

Strange twist in El Plan if we did but I'm here for it
So who's next for INEOS? Clearly a glorified consultancy team brought in to cut costs for the Glazers. The very definition of useful idiots.
They were both regarded as one of the best in their respective roles.
Agreed on Tuchel, and also whoever else is seemingly available at this point. But if their vision is to get someone better in the summer, they should seriously also consider an interim ASAP, as ETH isn't working at all right now.
One of the best? Didn't you say "the best"?
Thank you for proving my point by already backtracking. There are always other options and there never is a single "best" candidate
