Poignant. I can relate.
Mourinho was Bailly, Smalling, Lindelof too centre backs a lot of the time, nothing special. Mourinho sets the whole team up more defensively but still, it's not like Ten Hag is scoring several every game to make up for it.
We could go through 20 managers. It doesn't matter. They've been the wrong choice.
Someone in the match thread joked about the team having a "don't take more than one touch before passing" instruction or clause. But I truly believe Bruno is to blame for that, he's the captain, he's one of the focal points in the team and considering how he passes the ball around like it's a ticking time bomb, more times than not, I truly believe it affects how the others play as well.
Sure. Several years ago it was Brendon Rodgers that would be the "magic" missing piece. For years we were told how we needed Poch. Before them, there have been DOZENS of "I know the perfect manager" here in the caf or from some pundit. None of them have come close to success ANYWHERE. I mentioned Emry and Ancellotti a few yeards back but doubt they would have helped. Most of them are retired or languishing in a far flung division or league. Ragnick told us EXACTLY what we needed to do to fix it and we laughed him back to Austria.
Even Moyes had supporters at the very end, my memory might be fuzzy but it was at least a quarter of the fans on here that wanted to give him more time. Most of the blame was put on the players.
100% he fecking would. Ten Hag is really that bad. These players have proven in other environments that they can perform. They aren’t bad players.

Probably so. Some of what he chose, and he'll ultimately lose his job for wasting an entire transfer window chasing De Jong and for his obsession with obtaining players he knows and thinks he can trust, has cost us dearly. He either has horrible luck or horrible judgement. I'm guessing it's the latter. Onana, Mount and Antony have been a waste of time and money, but the culture of our club, it's players, owners and board are toxic and deadly for ANY outsider who won't play THEIR game. I partially understand him going for broke trying to get players he knows and trusts but ALL of the power (and malignancy) at this club is with the owners, players and the board. We will NEVER win as long as the Glazers remain. The Glazers will NEVER leave until they start to lose money.
I’m tired of us acting like domestic cups are UCL and PL titles that just cover over everything. It’s embarrassing.
Probably so but so was overpaying for and pissing away hundreds of millions on players who shouldn't have remained. Several are still in the club. A few played today. A different Manager doesn't fix this. Firing yet another manager only papers over the bigger problems that go WAY higher at the club.
Will never do anything of note in football again, just like all of our post-Fergie managers. Just the latest crap appointment by us.
yesAnyone else think we’ll get pumped on Sunday but Erik will still keep his job?
Curious to see how LVG compares too.
Not a chance. Maybe it's the water but something at the club turns great players to shit, all time great managers to shit. Even decent to mediocre players and managers seem to diminish after they arrive. I think shit rolls downhill. Chase out out shit owners and start from there. Glazers out!!!!!
The club is losing money every year. Ten Hag had cost them tens of millions in lost prize money alone.
Trophies are for egos, heh
Go get them. Bring your !s too.
The most likely scenario.Anyone else think we’ll get pumped on Sunday but Erik will still keep his job?
The whole fecking structure of the footballing side of the club has been replaced, as everyone was crying out for.

Thanks for posting.
We've changed razor blades 5 or six times already and we're all still getting burned.
