It was incredible. One thing if it was a super charismatic manager, but Erik ten Hag? Wow!
Couldn't agree more, like I said yesterday his profligate finishing has definitely saved Erik today
Personally think he lost them after Twente, yet he somehow gets another week at Carrington. Think it's ridiculous he will be on that plane to Portugal on Wednesday.
According to the Mail today it's going to now cost £17.5m to pay off this clown because chose to trigger the extra year.
How do I start a Crowdfunder?

Before yesterday, it was the Spurs game is really important, now, it's the next two game are important, we might go and fluke a win in one of the two, then it will be the next week is important, it just never ends.
So how does Goldbridge do a poll where 54% want him to stay, yet on a Man United forum 83% want him to leave??
The only thing is, is that though we got well beat yesterday and fans were clamouring for the sack, there is usually some noise around the club beforehand that he was going to get sacked. We’d probably have known about it last night if it was going to happen this morning.
Most people who interact with his content are probably rival fans
A minor change would atleast stop us from getting defeated 3-0 at home. I would say that is a progress
Because Goldbridge is a tool and massive WUM who just goes for views
Man says he's not Harry Potter but he has clearly cast some kind of spell to stay in a job.
Disappointing and frustrating that he has not been fired. I've lost a lot of faith in INEOS.

Because he attracts morons to his show who live in memes.
I don't think our management will sack him, wouldn't suprise me if we win the next two games, just like all the other false dawns.
People who voted didn't change their opinions. New folks voted for not sacking him and brought the sack% down.
Yeah I hate the "down tools" shite, anyone who's ever competed and played at a high level (not even PL level) couldn't even fathom not trying in the actual thing they spend their lives focusing on. The amount of times that's actually happened is probably a miniscule fraction of the amount of times fans accuse them of doing so.
I don't think it would. Yesterday should have been 6 or 7, regardless of where Bruno played, they'd have thumped us.
Yeah. Rival fans love his channel because of the totally genuine and not at all put on meltdowns he has when United lose.
He has millions of sheep followers, many who repeat his nonsense on here. Wasn't he one of those adamant he should stay in the summer.
It's possible the perfect candidate is still coaching at Youth level, still playing or possibly haven't even been born yet.
But they'll be patient though, it's a process.
Unfortuantely, this situation has made me lose a lot of confidence in INEOS. Why are they dithering on a clearly inevitable decision? The whole world can see it.
Would being battered at home 3-0 two games in a row be accepted at any other top 10 club, let alone a club going for top four? We're a fecking joke.

Under Louis it was like watching grass grow. But at least we weren't getting battered every other week, and the team did actually look well drilled defensively and in his soul crushing possession football. Which is more than you can say for the last 18 months.
How is this guy still in charge, this is even beyond the worse nightmare honestly. I truly believe that if given more time he is capable of taking us to depths we haven't seen.
Every parameter in this calendar year is bottom half level, if he stays till Xmas I can see us being 14-16th in the league and out of the europa league. Only Southampton have scored less goals than us this season. We are a complete & utter embarrassment

Imagine basing such an important decision off the back of if we scrape a win in a one off game or not. fecking hell.
I think it was standards where we weren't a long way away from Sir Alex and so people expected a lot. Standards are in the gutter now and somehow this guy is still under performing. Coming into the season not 1 United fan expected a title challenge, all we wanted was a fight for top 4 and some semblance of improvement but this guy has somehow made us worse
To me, it's more concerning that they haven't sacked him after the last two home results. Two consecutive batterings in a row at home wouldn't be accepted at most clubs in the Premier League, let alone one aiming to compete for top 4 this season.
I'm also not so sure about the signings. Are they good players ? Maybe. But are they what we needed? Aside from De Ligt and Mazaraoi, whether we needed a player of the other two profiles is questionable and open to debate. Ugarte seems fairly poor on the ball and not even that good defensively, which is meant his biggest strength. Wouldn't a player that can receive & distribute the ball better under pressure be a more suitable profile for what we're aiming for? Zirkzee seems to be more suitable in a no10 role rather than playing as a Striker and we already had Bruno & Mount who can play there. Wouldn't an out an out striker make more sense?
Is their long-term vision to play counter-attacking football? Because based on them giving Bruno that new contract and signings like Ugarte, it really looks that way & that is disappointing. If not, then how do either of these two decisions make any sense? The bruno one in particular is baffling because it should've been clear that the possibility of replacing ETH was a big one and then that leaves the new manager with a player he might not want.
That being said, I feel like they've appointed the right people in key positions and am excited for the plans for stadium re-development, but I think there's also been a lot of worrying signs.

Hopefully bollocks and behind the scenes they are putting a plan in place to replace him.
If they are genuinely holding off until we take a couple more batterings then we're in trouble.
Not that much of a stretch tbf.
Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Eriksen and Zirkzee have made up half of recent teams.
It’s so nonsensical that I refuse to believe it’s true. I think he’s gone regardless of what happens this week.
I’ve voted sack for the first time - not because I particularly like seeing our managers do so shite that they get the boot, but because I don’t really have confidence in EtH’s ability to turn things around any more. We looked a bit more assured defensively at times this season, but we’re still getting drubbings by large margins, and we can’t score for love nor money, something ten Hag has never got us doing well.
It’s Jamie Jackson. He doesn’t know what the feck he is talking about.
Keeping him if we beat Villa would be even more nonsensical than when we kept him because we beat City.
I’m with this, at least some of them anyway.
I can’t believe it hasn’t attracted more attention, especially after Eriksen & Neville’s comments in the last week
What gets me the most about Ineos and their approach is that they're basically treating it like pre-Ineos didn't matter. The fact we've seen this many times before doesn't matter to them, because they weren't in charge. It's almost disrespectful to supporters, and incredibly arrogant. As though their presence alone makes a difference to how good the manager is, and that them not being there was a big enough factor for ETH to have already failed dismally. We basically had to suffer last season and they don't give two shits because, in their mind, they weren't in charge so it doesn't matter.
Statements like the above come across like they're trying to act like they're in conplete control, when they actually look daft because they're going to fall until the same traps as the previous lot and they don't even realise it.
I don’t believe Ineos would have been so stupid to allow such a massive payout on the back of keeping ETH on after how piss poor we have been since we won the league cup, surely they agreed to lower the compensation in exchange for extending as they saw what we saw and that was a one off game keeping ETH in a job and Ineos openly courting other managers through the summer.
Plot twist: they were in fact, that stupid.
