Yes, I agree with this. I think the only reason he’s not gone today is because the board don’t believe anybody else can perform a miracle in a couple of days before Porto. A new or interim manager is just as likely to lose the next two games with limited prep time, so why knock their confidence. I’m hopeful a change will still be made after Villa.
Hmm I have a bit more faith than you. I think he is gone by next week. I dont see him beating Porto or Villa.
The players just dont care, they want him gone too. You cant keep questioning your players when the manager is the issue.
Every 3 games we have our worst ever performance. Its embarrassing really.
Just remember lads:
We finished 8th in the league with a negative GD and finished bottom of our CL group last season with Copehagen and Galatasaray... and a large section of people on here petitioned to keep the manager. No matter what happens, can't take that away

Some incredible stats:
- Only Sheffield and Luton have conceded 3 or more goals more than us since start of last season
- We have faced the most shots on goal in the league since start of last season
- 2nd higest money spent since EtH took charge
TBH as bad as that goal was, it was a heck of a run at some pace.... these things happen, it was the way we played before and after that goal that was a much bigger problem
It was the way they were both out of position and neither could put in a challenge. But it was also symbolic. The two big reputation players we brought in to stop us being soft in the middle and that happens. Might as well have been Evans and Casemiro.That was an insane run to be honest and De Ligt only option was to foul him. These things happen in football and sometimes it is unavoidable.
Big if trueRumours on social media that ten Hag hasn't been sacked yet.
Fans writing letters to INEOS through summer
I'd like to hear from former players from any club on their viewpoint when a manager freezes a player out. How much does that affect them, assuming they side with the player.
Example: with knowing what is public in the Ronaldo and Sancho incidents, what are players thinking. If they side with the player, do they down tools and hope the manager is moved on, or do they keep their heads down and continue business as usual?
I'm not looking for excuses here but our two of our last three managers had public issues with players. It's basically part of Jose's CV wherever he goes. Did ETH have issues with players at Ajax? I don't recall Ole having a go at anyone, publicly at least.
I imagine from an oppo point of view, like the above, it must have been hilarious. I don't even know how we got so small-time so quick. Beatdowns are a regular and normalised occurrence and there doesn't even seem to be fear of impending consequences when they happen.
As far as I know players almost never down tools, at least not consciously, professional athletes aren't wired like that, they are extremely competitive. And for the most part players aren't friends, so outside of the player's possible friends the others don't care enough to antagonize the manager but they will have an opinion that they sometimes share with friends and family but the players themselves go about their business the same way you and I do if we don't like our boss.
If ETH doesn’t realise that only way to play Bruno is as false 9, then there is more pain in store for us in next few months.
With all due respect to Mitten, he's part of the problem in this case. One of the loudest voices after the FA Cup win in favor of keeping the manager.
I'd like to laugh but they helped put us in this mess. It's truly unbelievable that he didn't go in the summer.Just remember lads:

His players are mostly Dutch!I think his tactics are probably too complicated and his English is not good enough to convey what he wants easily. Players probably don't know what the heck to do in any given situation and so look lost. He then looks frustrated because they didn't follow the plan. He should go back to the Netherlands to coach.
We had Poch speaking only Spanish and he had a translator when he was at Soton and they did well under him.I think his tactics are probably too complicated and his English is not good enough to convey what he wants easily.

It is odd that we can`t seem to attract managers without adding this kind of parachute and, what seems like a lot to say regarding transfers. Maybe it is standard practice but it still seems oddIf its true that it's will cost £17.5m to sack him then we're likely stuck with him.
If the players don't care then they need to be gone as well, ETH isn't the sole problem.Hmm I have a bit more faith than you. I think he is gone by next week. I dont see him beating Porto or Villa.

After all we have been through under ETH, people who change their vote if win win a game deserve the mediocrity we are watching every game for more then 18 months now.84.2% want him gone that’s got to be some kind of record
At least until Porto and Villa of course.

So fickle minded our fans are. He could win 5-0 away to Porto and Villa and I still want him to get the feck out.It was 90% after the Liverpool game and gradually reduced over the following week.
If we somehow beat Villa it'll go down to 70% overnightIt was 90% after the Liverpool game and gradually reduced over the following week.
I thought the club would have taken action this morning. Alas he gets the Porto and Villa games. I felt that this morning would have been an apt time to make the hard call but maybe they are going to revisit it next Monday at the international break.
