Generously he has 1 major trophy that he conspired to throw away against a Championship side with his kamikaze tactics and won by the skin of his teeth against a City side that had been on the piss and threw a goal in.

Worst league finish, worst goal difference, worst European record, biggest defeats, most times conceded 3+ goals ect in about 50 years.

Ole lost one major trophy in a penalty shootout by the skin of his teeth. Ole also made us a Champions League side twice and one of the better teams in the league for 2 and a half seasons.

It was definitely time for Ole to go as he couldn't take us to the next step but to say Ten Hag is "miles ahead" wow.
Said it already there's no value getting into a debate about it. Preferring a manager who took one season to beat Oles best point tally in 3 attempts whilst hitting 2 Cup finals and one Cup is not contraversial for me. Cry about it somewhere else.
 
Thread should be retitled to how pissed will you be when we don’t sack him until top 4 is mathematically out of reach.

"Cry about it"

Is someone getting a little rattled that their stance on a manager who clearly wasn't good enough months ago has become indefensible?

Mate, I said there's no point getting into a debate about it and you're trying to egg one on with shocked posts. As I said, cry about it somewhere else. It's evidently you that's rattled.

Ive said what I had to say about the manager now, dig up my posts if you're that obsessed.

You certainly didn't say you didn't want to debate it to me before throwing your toys out of the pram with childish comments about crying and now calling people "obsessed".

I'd suggest if this thread gets you into such a stress you should just take a break from it.
 
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Its quite clear Allardyce isn't a good coach based on this, but you'll have pundits spouting about players needing passion. Rene's insight was really good

Throwing toys out of the pram :lol:
My posts that explained it said I didn't want to debate it. You were the one that was shocked by it. As I said, if you want to cry, do it somewhere else. I've got not got time for posters that are overly sensitive about Oles shit e reign with us.
 
I’d happily not throw away a trophy. It was a great feeling - at the time. I’d take a season with a trophy over a season without one. Real Madrid wouldn’t accept a trophyless season, so why should we. The same is also true that we shouldn’t take awful league seasons. We need a manager who can win trophies every season and can get us to consistently perform well in the league. feck Solskjær and ten Hag as managers, neither were fecking good enough.
Sorry, I’d rather get top 4 and go trophyless than win the FA Cup and get relegated. The financial reasons alone that allow us to improve the squad makes it preferable.

Agree with your second point that both Ten Hag and Ole weren’t good enough, but Ole was much better than Ten Hag. The football was more attractive ( which is saying something because it wasn’t that great to watch), the results and league positions were better, we were more consistent in our performances. When the difference between a trophyless Ole and two minor trophies with Ten Hag is 12 penalties in a Europa final… well, we’ve reached a bad place.

When you say something on an internet forum people might respond, some may agree, some may not.

Overly sensitive, obsessed and crying. Blimey, hope I'll be alright for work on Monday.
 
And as a Manchester United supporter I value competing at the top over middle table and a league cup.
And I agree Ten Hag was no way near good enough in that season. But Ole had 3.5 years to hit the mark and looked on course for the same position as Ten Hag last season had he stayed. With no cups on top. Anyway - its just opinions

To be fair he didn't actually have 3 and a half years. He took over in December 2018 and left in November 2021.

You do you. As a Manchester united supporter I value silverware over 3 points.

Not meaningful silverware, evidently. Or you wouldnt have spent the last 12 months peddling excuses for the Hag.

You have to realise you're replying to a poster who can never be wrong.

And funnily enough, it seems increasingly likely that that cup win will be remembered as the one thing that did further damage to our longer term league and European aspirations, given that it kept that fraud in a job long enough to sabotage another season.

Says the guy that’s overly sensitive about Ten Hag’s historically shit reign with us.

Yeah, very much like Erik's answers in that interview where he just said stick to the plan or belief or whatever he said.
 
He was better in season 1 than Ole ever was, so for me the latter season is redundant. Both not nearly good enough but one brought 2 trophies home. That's all I want to say, don't want to get drawn out into a debate over it.
Then why post it? You can't just post something like that and not expect replies unless you're a WUM like quite a few people think.
 
Some fair points, but this grinds my gears. Did he actually say ‘last season was a success because we won the FA cup’. Or is that how you heard it? Bear in mind I haven’t watched the interview yet!

Would last season have been better if we didn’t win the FA cup?

In many ways, this part of your post feels like gaslighting right back. Which is food for thought.

No he said "judge us at the end of the season, we have had two seasons where we have reached finals".

As if to imply that the last two seaosns were sucessful because of reaching two finals. So get to another and this will also be a success.

Totally negating the 8th place finish and the zero goal difference.

Maybe watch the interviews, then pass comment. Rather than saying "Bear in mind I haven’t watched the interview yet!"
 
Rene brilliantly exposing ten Hag.


Good video, thanks for sharing.

It is rather preplexing how EtH is unable to instill some of the basics into our squad. In recent weeks we have heard from Benny and Steve McClaren about how he is such a tactically brilliant coach yet we seem to be missing the basics. Where has it gone wrong?

I can't understand how he wants to play or setup? He keeps asking for time but does anyone actually know what peak EtH football looks like? If we saw some glimpses, I’m sure fans would be more sympathetic to his cause.
 
His football has been crap and you can't defend it and he'll most likely be sacked soon but people saying the FA cup final was lucky just isn't true. Our XG was better on the day, we defended well and, but for a mistake by Onana, it would have been a 2-0 win.
 
Really basic question, does ETH ever change formation to be more defensive? Or to go from a defensive formation to more attacking?

Or is he changing formations and the players just can't perform.....

It's one game. With a bunch of very talented footballers to boot. Raphaël Varane a prime example of that talent at the back. Let's not pretend he pulled off that result with a bunch of minnows.

A similar side lined up against Liverpool at Anflield under ETH and got pummeled 7-0.
 
Actually feel really sad he’s likely going. :lol: ( I know he needs to go).

I’m a big softy though and nearly cried just now because my cat got into a fight with another cat….
I will cry too once he's gone to be fair.. Happy tears
 
"What the club need to do now is make sure we have the right manager at the helm next summer (preferably Xabi Alonso) and sort out this mess of a season whether that us Ruud as interim or someone else".

There's a huge problem with this. Alonso is probably the most sought after coach nowadays. We all know that Bayern Munich wants him, also Real Madrid sees him as a potential successor of Ancelotti and then there's Liverpool as long time admirers of him. If Slot fails they'll want him too. Currently we're not in a position to rival these clubs unfortunately for the signature of Alonso.
We can get Carlo then if Real get Xabi.
 
You know you're shite when the new owner says I like you, I think you're a good coach but...

Please please just get rid. I can't watch another game seeing his gormless expression on the sidelines
That's a bit harsh after he got the equaliser the other day!
 
The question is, in the unlikely event that we win against Villa on Sunday, would INEOS still have the balls to sack Erik during the international break?

A win would be another false dawn. Even Berrarda and Ashworth must be able to see that by now. I don't think many would argue against the sacking in such a scenario.
You tell us!

No, but to say we were lucky in the FA cup final win as some suggested is just untrue. We were the better team. It changes nothing regarding his situation now but let's not say it was a lucky win when it wasn't.
