Fallen Muppet. Lest we never forget
Could be a big week for the future of the club this week. The manager and also Ashworths arbitration.
Yeah that won’t happen.
True. ETH is also a risk considering the season performance. But he atleast has the support of dressing room.They are taking a big risk in most scenario including if they decide to keep ETH. The only thing that matter is whether they strongly believe in their decision and if that decision is based on logic.
You don’t choose to keep a manager with a view of sacking him 2-3 months later, it just disrupts the team even further and doesn’t give him the right situation to work in anyway. If you keep him it’s because you genuinely believe he’s the man to take you forward.
If we keep him we have to give him a new contract and ensure him of long term job security.
Ah fair enough
Obviously if there was a Klopp v2 out there we'd all volunteer to drive EtH to the airport. And that would apply even if EtH finished 4th this season AND won a cup against City. He's not irreplaceable.
City one has virtually no chance of happening. Chelsea I could see happening at some point because almost every manager will end up working there eventually, with how high their manager turnover is.Which one?
If you're correct then I'll personally campaign for you to get an avatar. If you're wrong then I'm calling the police.He'll be gone by tonight.
Sacked.
Wtf is he expected to win ?

Arguably most injury-ridden season in recent memory.Review of the season:
- Worst CL campaign in the club's history
- (Arguably) the worst PL campaign post Fergie
- A very sweet FA cup win
Because he’s won 2 trophies in 2 years. That’s more than Arteta and Klopp won in their first 2 years. We could bring someone els in that doesn’t win a trophy for 3 years and then the majority people who want him sacked will want him back.
I'm sure he said quite a lot but what could he do about it? But of course they did not sit deep all the time - it's silly to polarise this into absurd parodies. What actually happened was they tended to sit too deep during defensive phases which left midfield too empty as the attackers were too far up field to help. This prevented a high press from functioning efficiently. During attacks they did often push up but then got caught on the break too easily by quick attackers. Over the course of the game these marginal errors turned into goals and then collapses.
Professional approach. There is no need to rush anything, so better take the time for an in depth analysis
We all know he's getting sacked since last week. But thanks for sharing anyway.I'm flying a bit close to the sun here and I haven't posted everything I've heard here.
I'll just say this.
I'm getting my information from two places. Both very close to INEOS just very random they don't know each other and they've never met. One is a family friend a few people removed and another os one of my best mates.
First is basically as good as working in INEOS on this venture second is someone who hangs around alot of INEOS people as close mates and colleagues.
I was told a long time ago basically back in march/Feb they will sack him no matter what as it's a key part of the project and he's just not their guy.
I asked again in May the second one says he's heard alot and they aren't impressed with ten hag.
Today I have heard that he's going to be sacked and who they want in, which I'm sure you can all guess based on the Chelsea news etc.
Now he was right on INEOS (family friend) back last year in March/April and said it was happening and in October- it got delayed to December so benefit of the doubt things can change but that's very specific so far ahead of time.
Now on today's news he says its done to the point there's no going back.
So keep an eye out.
Hi, there's a liar on the internet and I want someone to raid his house please. I mean, he isn't actually a liar because his sources check out but he's got this one wrong - hello?911, what's your emergency?
Cheers.I'm flying a bit close to the sun here and I haven't posted everything I've heard here.

My point was, if we bring a serial winner, then yes it would seem like less of a risk. Zebri is a bigger risk than keeping ETH in my opinion
Not sure why the analysis starts now and couldn’t have been done last week it’s 8 days since the league finished and if the fa cup has any baring on his future then maybe the ownership should take a look at themselves because that’s piss poor planning
Arguably most injury-ridden season in recent memory.

True, but does that excuse everything? We've had a lot of injuries, but the only 2 dead-on starters to miss more than 30% of the season (I think?) are Shaw and Martinez. We have for the most part had 7 or 8 starters available, with certain games being a bit more brutal than that obviously.
The even bigger issue is how starters like Casemiro and Rashford have let us down big time. And Onana more or less single-handedly killed our CL campaign too. And then there's the insistence on playing Antony (worst post Fergie signing) over Amad for some reason.
It's not like it's been all bad luck either. The injuries forced an early promotion to Mainoo and that turned out great. Garnacho has also stepped out of Rashford and Antony's shadow. Dalot was a starter already so his ascent was kind of inevitable, but it's great timing that our best or second best player stepped up in defense, which is where we've had the most injuries.
Not sure I can agree with you. What have they need doing for the last few months. If a review is over the last 2 years of ETH - the bulk of the consideration should be done and dusted. They outcome of some dead rubber league games and a cup final with only 2 possible outcomes to consider are not really sufficient grounds for holding off all consideration until the final whistle blows.Professional approach. There is no need to rush anything, so better take the time for an in depth analysis
Claiming Antony is our worst post Fergie signing is frankly ridiculous
Can he? We got spanked by Sevilla in EL last season, we were a gnats cock away from being dumped out by Coventry in the most ridiculous of circumstances, we needed a last minute goal against Forest, and we were humiliated in the CL this season. Those aren't indicators of a man that thrives in cup competitions.Well 2 things i would say about that: first, it was a different City team then - very good team still but not really the best in the world juggernaut they've become more recently. Second, were any of Ole's performances against City as good as the one yesterday regardless of scoreline? I don't remember many of the games personally but just looking at the formations in those games they look like park the bus tactics. Which is fine but also requires some luck to win, whereas I though United were the better team in that FA cup final.
One-off games are representative of what they are, no more no less. You need to be good at one-off games to win knockout competitions but they're far less determinative in league campaigns. I think Ten Hag has deficiencies in league competition but obviously he can get the tactics right for big knockout cup games.
I'd imagine it won't really be about ETH or the current season in isolation at all.Review of the season:
- Worst CL campaign in the club's history
- (Arguably) the worst PL campaign post Fergie
- A very sweet FA cup win
Hardly playing isn't a positive. If anything it's indicative of just how bad he was. Antony has at least scored important goals and can put a shift in. De Berk had absolutely nothing.It really isn't. You got to factor in price and playtime. Van De Beek is worse for instance, but he was half the price or something and has barely played (hence not done any real damage).
But this is the Ten Hag thread.
