How long after they say this do they officially sack him? A month to two?

OK, wow
It looks like those quotes from Berrada and Ashworth are from before the Liverpool game.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. ETH’s GD at Ajax was one of the qualities I was hoping he would bring with him. That’s been an epic failure.
Phew.
It depends on our results in upcoming fixtures. If we drop points to any minnows after already losing 2 out of 3, then things will move quickly.
And even David Moyes had a goal difference of over 20.
Nothing to do with the pace of the PL and his age either
I can see him staying and being supported if the results aren’t great but the underlying numbers are good and suggest that we are going somewhere, but they’ll sack him if we are once again lucking our way even to 8th, like last season, where our xPts was somewhere around 45 if I’m not mistaken.
Not a good look for Chris Wheeler.
The dreaded vote of confidence
Yep.
Eh. We are stuck with him for a long, long time, for some reason he has managed to cast a spell on everyone associated with the club including all decision makers. While other clubs aim to deliver better football and win games, our primary goal seems to be to ensure Erik ten Hag has everything he needs to compensate for his lack of skills.
Important to note those quotes were made before the game against Liverpool.
How new to football are people to think those quotes are bad news? He's a dead man walking.
Funniest CEO in the league if he said it after the game and that interview
It’s crazy how disingenuous these journalists are. They KNEW these quotes were before the Liverpool game. They KNEW they would get a reaction for the fans if they did not clarify the timelines of those quotes.
Why the feck did they surface all over the place now
If he has "fullbacking", what's the hold up on his contract renewal? The silence is deafening.
Because journalists are wanting to wind us up.
Whose contract renewal?
Looks like Omar and Dan were not fully in favor. Good to read. Hoping the start to the season has the writing on the wall.
For Ten Hag this summer was almost perfect for him, the lack of CEO and director of football in place i feel afforded him the chance to continue. I don't think he will be that lucky this season, not with results like yesterday.
Because they know the fanbase is in full meltdown after yesterday. More clicks and attention.
It was already extended over the summer by one year.
There’s no need for a vote of confidence unless things are getting real bad. It’s always been foreshadowing of a sacking, unless there’s a serious turn-around, which surely won’t happen. Not unless Ugarte is a Uruguayan Roy Keane regen.
Athletic journos left it in saved drafts
Dreaded vote of confidence :
The “vote of confidence” that an under-pressure manager gets from his chairman has become such a harbinger of doom (they tend to get sacked soon afterwards) that is has evolved to become the “dreaded vote of confidence”.
This is what it is. He also said that him and Ashworth weren't there when ETH's contract was extended. ETH is on a tight rope now.
They were saving the quotes for an article they've done and credit to Adam Crafton, he was the first I seen to point out that the quotes came from before the Liverpool game while the likes of Chris Wheeler are on twitter trying to put them as fresh quotes post Liverpool defeat.
Vote of confidence is like being put on a PIP in any form of work. They make it seem like you have a chance but it’s a formality what will happen.
The pressure isn't stopping, more people are starting to question him openly. Starting to feel like Biden's final weeks.
I'm not commenting on their quality or lackthereof. I'm asking who do you think identified them as targets to sign this summer if Ten Hag wasn't still steering the recruitment ship?
McTominay is a very average central midfielder and personally I don't think we lost because Casemiro had a stinker. Sure it contributed to it but it was more that we're just a team with shite predictable tactics. We don't know how to attack, we can't score, we leave midfielders isolated, we can't control possession or games and we still can't defend worth a feck despite investing the best part of £200m into signing Dutch/Ajax players for Ten Hag.
I can't say I'm familiar with the situation but yeah if true. It's not the type of person I want United to be signing.
