Comfortably the worst United manager I've seen in my lifetime.

Sadly for me too, I predicted a poor season when the summer business was done as I felt the club and manager didn't prioritize accordingly but what I didn't anticipate was Erik proving himself a poor manager with a dreadful philosophy and tactical approach to games.

Possession and completed passes at home against relegation fodder :lol:

Yes, Kompany must be fuming.
 
A change is inevitable. I think the lack of options to succeed him had me warming to the idea of him sticking around and nuking the squad but honestly I think he has lost the dressing room and lost his mind - he will be out the door come end of the cup final. Just like the previous Dutch Man Utd manager.
 
Poll result

we asked “How many of you would be prepared to give ETH 1 more full season to prove himself?”

Yes 26.2%
No 73.8%
If it had stayed open until now, "yes" would've probably been at about 20% as a lot of people changed their votes thinking the Sheffield game was the start of a coherent, possession based style. A poor game today would've caused the opposite reaction.

The players got us there imo.
At this point, I feel like it was magic that got us there!
 
Once again, this is more damning for this fanbase than anyone else. The fanbase is the laughing stock of top level football.

Imagine you're an organisation who spends the best part of a billion pounds on a product, and your customers/supporters just don't even have the capability of being able to tell the difference between what's good and bad. It's mental. We need a full refresh and that needs to start with the fanbase. If we can alienate and push out most of our current fanbase we may have some hope in the future.

OT crowd still clapping him off. Wtf.
Chaser

Outplayed by Burnley home and away, we are hitting new lows every week

If this new management has any clue then they will sack him immediately.

I don't think he's lost the dressing room. The players are trying their best and being professional.
 
Coventry and home games against Burley and Sheffield United. Huge concerns with no hiding place for Ten Hag. He’s done
 
Then what is the point, we are so far away, let ETH run down his contract while we get rid of the 20-25 shit players and then the new manager can actually start with a clean slate so that he at least has a hope of succeeding. Anyone coming in this summer will be hounded out again by these players
This is insane logic.
 
hopefully some of the injured players returning will help, but it feels like we're limping towards the inevitable

all the games are just copies of the previous games

Outworked by Burnley at home whilst also having less of the ball than them. Another brilliant tactic from the bald maestro.
 
The concern is they may give him the rest of the season before pulling the trigger, possibly for financial reasons (who knows the terms of his contract etc).
If there are any break clauses, surely it is mostly about CL football. He was hired under the previous regime, after all.

I would have loved Tuchel for that final but the problem is he's still in the CL, so even if he goes out in the semis, there won't be enough time.

The other worry is that he'll keep playing our most important players and run them into the ground to save his pathetic skin and we'll get more injuries and be gassed for the FA cup final which is the only thing that matters until the end of the season (Newcastle are definitely overtaking us for 6th, probably by smashing us at OT).
 
Give it to Ole until the end of the season. We might have a chance in the cup final.
 
We need 10 points from our last 4 games to match the Moyes/Giggs season.

We would also need to score 20 without conceding to match the goal difference

And this was a very poor Burnley team, the worst goalkeeping distribution I have seen this season and the team couldn't score more than 1 goal at home.

Who in their right minds thought that about that game?

And tbh, we habe players capable of magic so you may have a point.
 
We obviously will allow him to lead us to a proper trashing in the final with half of the stadium applauding him at the end of the match.

We also obviously should have sacked him 6 months ago though, and the idea that any other self-respecting ‘big’ club would allow such a shit manager to finish the season is ridiculous. But we always do ridiculous things and are the worst run club in the world.
 
Should make this poll public so we can see which posters don’t value going into cup finals with our rivals with any chance of winning
 
Because he’s just as shit a manager but he doesn't come out when you've scraped 1 win against 3 championship sides in 3 matches and keep saying how amazing we’ve played and storm out of interviews like he’s too good to address the clear fact this is close to being our worst ever PL season.

Cant stand his brooding manner and mix of delusion and arrogance.

I agree this applies to ten Hag but feck me, to suggest this isn't a picture perfect description of David Moyes too :lol: unbelievable.

Well, you've answered your own question.

I'm missing a few EtH defenders as well. Maybe they had weekend shopping to do.

@VP89, for one.
 
Should we hope Bayern lose CL semi final so Tuchel might be available to take over before FA Cup final?
 
He’s stubbornly sticking to his ways because he knows he’s a goner, so he can spin it that he tried to stamp his way on doing things but they wouldn’t listen.

It’s not helped by the fact that we’re in the midst of an ownership and operational change. I really hope we are more proactive with head coaches going forward. No more of these manager performance clauses that chains us to keep them until they fail it. Just sack managers for shitty football and shitty results in the future. No more writing off entire seasons because a manager wasn’t working out.

Moyes seems much more humble nowadays since he left Sunderland. ETH only seems to get worse.
 
The biggest risk with an interim is that we might actually win the final, and the fanbase will pressure the club into keeping them. That's always a risk at this club.
Our fanbase couldn't pressure a single thing if they tried. We enjoy mediocrity at Manchester United. We revel in it.
 
I don't think he's lost the dressing room. The players are trying their best and being professional.
Multiple players have liked / posted things on social media now questioning the manager. Star pupil Rashford goes out on the piss in Belfast. Sancho publicly questioned him too. I think he has lost the dressing room. There are players there that do not respect the manager. Then you look at their inability to see out a game. Or even score a well worked goal. They are all playing for themselves, not the manager. He has lost the dressing room.
