Trust the process mate. Imagine the title race in the championship next season

It's easy in hindsight to say ETH should have been sacked in the summer.
The reality is he was winning things, he was starting to get his own team together, he just had one of the worst injury hit seasons in our clubs history and no other great options for manager were on the market.
It was the right call to keep him on, if anything just to see if he could build on the FA Cup win.
He hasn't and its time to move him on. Its not a case of "I told you so" like some fans are running with.
INEOS have havn't done anything wrong here in my opinion.
Mitten said something interesting last week. He said that someone who had a big impact on Ten Hag was a youth coach who was infamous for his ‘stick’ instead of ‘carrot’ approach, he said Ten Hag has maintained that approach throughout his career.
Consider the fact he’s Dutch, stubborn as feck, and a disciplinarian, it’s a recipe for disaster.
I don't understand INEOS to be honest. They made a big song and dance about hiring the best in class but didn't get them until the season started, yet someone (probably Brailsford and Sir Jim) decided to do a manager search over the summer and came up with nothing other than Ten Hag is the guy. So now what are Berrarda, Ashworth and Wilcox supposed to do? Sack Ten Hag even though the others have said he's the best available? Is someone else going to stick their neck out and say Brailsford and Jim got it wrong and they know a guy who's better? It seems like no one wants to make a decision because they're all new in their jobs and don't want to rock the boat.Not a sniff this morning about him getting sacked, I said yesterday we aren't a serious club anymore. We'll let this drag onto late October or early November until the season is virtually gone and then make a decision.
It seems no matter who is in charge of this club we still dither on these decisions. He's done just pull the fecking trigger.
There's a direct correlation between him getting more of his players and us being worse.While he's not completely wrong that he needs time to bed in the newer players, we don't have 3 years. During the time he gets from now onwards, any amount of time at all, we are going backwards and he's getting deeper and deeper into this utter mess. I cannot believe we have managed to sign all these players who have previously performed well for their clubs, who still represent their countries, and made them all unable to play football with each other. How has ETH done this? It beggars belief. ETH OUT NOW (RVN in as an interim).

No even a peep of him being sacked. To think Woodward was more decisive than this Avengers lot.
Winning the title by 2028 my arse. Have the decisiveness to sack your bald brother first.
And herein, I believe, lies INEOS' problem - there just isn't the manager available who we actually need. Gareth would be a compromise, a there's really no one else so we'll settle for him as he's available type appointment.'Gareth IN!'
How can you back someone completely and then turn your back on them after 90 minutes? You're essentially saying your support isn't worth anything.
Next week should be identifying a replacement and bringing in someone over the international break or at least preparing for a Ruud interim while shortlising managers.
This makes the most sense but the concern is they haven't shown any sense so far, but Ruud should be in from today.Next week should be identifying a replacement and bringing in someone over the international break or at least preparing for a Ruud interim while shortlising managers.
He's a disgrace. But he was god awful last year and Ineos were delighted with him so why should he try anything different?
But more of the same will see focus on Erik ten Hag’s position become severe.
They should have Ruud in today - and work on identifying the replacement to start in a weeks time.
It's negligent to have him still in charge.
"But... But... Fergie lost four home matches by 3+ goals too!"

Yes, absolutely.
I'm hearing zero noise about a sacking, which is worrying.
