Imagine digging yourself a hole so big that you still won't admit publically that the dross we watch served up every week is far worse than under Ole.
Would a simple loss do it? Or would it take an hammeringPlease be true this time! It would be like Christmas came early!
Going to try and find it now. Oh never mind. Cheers.
I don’t care with either. I don’t care if a win at Villa gets us there. Just get us there.Would a simple loss do it? Or would it take an hammering

After this past summer it’s still only a hope. It’s not a foregone conclusion.If we lose, his sacking shout be a foregone conclusion no Matter the result
Kompany, Slot, Maresca? Come on mate. ETH needs to go, he’s a complete failure. Regardless of who’s out there, he is doing the worst job imaginable in the league and Europe when taking into account spend.So the fact nobody is a guarantee means you try anybody?
And you get rid of someone you said had great potential and replace him with anyone because potential doesn't work? That's bizarre logic.
Actual logic dictates you move beyond just potential, and that's a very short list. Which is my only point.
We just need someone to stabilise us? Who?
14th."Could be sacked if he lose to Villa".
This is so stupid he should be sacked REGARDLESS of the result. We are 12th with minus GD after finished 8th also with minus GD previous season, we are yet to win any game in europe after the most embarrassing PL campaign in our history. Does INEOS people expect he'd turn things around like Fergie did?? They are just as delusional as @VP89
Sack him, find whoever fits the bill and if his replacement performed poorly, sack then find the new one until you get the correct one. Thats how big clubs operate. Even Ed Woodward didnt set the standard this low.
Football is fickle. Can’t see him being sacked if we beat Villa. Even a draw may not be enough. We kept him on the back of a single one off final against City. That says everything.
Because that CL run was a fluke. Everyone loves to point out that Ajax side beating Juve and Madrid but conveniently forget they also bottled a 3-0 aggregate lead in the semi-final. They shipped 3 goals to Tottenham in 45 minutes. In their own stadium. That 45 minutes has all the hallmarks of an ETH coached side. The warnings signs have been there. But the football world wanks itself to death every time a Dutch manager strings together a few Eredivisie titles because of total football or something.Ten hag at Ajax was impressive in champions league. Beat Bayern, Juventus, and Real Madrid. He also trashed Ruben Amorim’s sporting by 5-1 and 4-2 and trashed Dortmund 3-1 and 4-0.
What has gone wrong? Does he have communication issue to deliver his messages to his players, hence why he can’t play type of football that he did at Ajax in champions league?
Pretty much this. ETH is just another De Boer when you examine his managerial career. If Mourinho was in the prem, he’d absolutely rip him apart like he did with De Boer. Unbelievable the fraud is yet to be kicked outBecause that CL run was a fluke.

This doesn’t surprise me one bit. A manager has to have so many different attributes to succeed. Gone are the days where they can survive just being a good coach and have an excellent understanding of the game.
Europa is still a lower level and in cup competitions the luck of the draw can work for you sometimes. That's how we won the Carabao cup in his first season.Isn’t he at one win in our last nine European games? Next to no chance we’re doing well in Europa under him.
Ruud was recruited by Ineos. Are you saying you don't trust Ineos choosing a good coach?
So you are saying we should look for permanent appointment when Erik is sacked then
Also that Real tie was pure complacency. Ramos deliberately got himself booked so he’d miss the 2nd leg. He admitted it himself and UEFA actually handed him an extra match’s ban.Because that CL run was a fluke.

No, I don't. They already fecked up on that front in the summer. If they couldn't see Ten Hag isn't good enough, how are they going to recognise someone who is? Of course, we have to hope that they can. But for me, Ruud van Niseltrooy isn't it.
Yes. A permanent manager would use this freebie season to prepare for next season. An interim means a completely pointless 8 months. Ruud van Niseltrooy isn't a good enough manager to place the club higher. And an interim status would hardly be of help. And a personal concern of mine is that if he somehow does well, he will be given the position on a permanent basis. Another bad idea.
Their decision was dumb, then backing ten hag to buy players he wanted was incredibly stupid given so many of them seem like they could be the next managers dead woodWell now they are in a position to make informed decisions, in the summer they had just entered the fray to an almighty barrage of club channels, fans and polls all demanding he stays, not saying they made the right decision but it was a case of not wanting to rock the boat before they even got in the door.
By push through I presume you mean learn to fix problems he has been completely unable to address over the last 1.5 seasons. That is so obviously not going to happenI don't believe sacking is the right choice. ten Hag isn't a bad coach. We've had a shite start to the season and we've had struggles throughout his tenure. But there's just too many factors involved that I can't just point to ten Hag and say he's shite. Had an okay first season, a mindblowing difficult 2nd season and a very bad start to his 3rd, but the season is still young and if ten Hag and the players can push through I wholeheartedly believe we'll finish in a good spot. There is however the chance that everything turns rotten if we don't start getting a few results and a sacking wouldn't be without merit. But we've just sacked so many managers and it's never solved anything whatsoever.
An interim doesn’t have to be there the whole season. An interim can also just be to cover a few games whilst appointing a permanent manager.
I admire you bravery.. Now the whole ETH out brigade will come after you like you did something terrible like murder.. I dont agree with you, I think we are come to the point where there is no hope for him to turn it around.. He had that chance this summer and at the start of this season but it didnt work. He shoud have been let off after the cup, but for some reasons, i think some of the legit, INIOS decided to give him a chance, with the help of them, to turn it around, but as we see now it didnt happend.. And this time around there are no legit excuses, like injuries, no football strukture in place and so.. Its either him or the players or both.. And even though i believe that the squad is not as good as many in here believe, he should be able to do a lot lot better.. I dont even think he does the minimum.. And its not like we met many of the top teams, only Liverpool and Spurs... So for me its a goodbye and thank you for trying..I don't believe sacking is the right choice. ten Hag isn't a bad coach.

Unless there's a manager that is available right now with the legitimate potential to turn this club into title challengers in a couple of years we might have to appoint an interim for the season.I'm obviously talking under the assumption that he interims until summer when most managers will be available. Like Inzaghi, Hoeneß, or whoever. If it's just for a few games, then it's okay because it doesn't matter.
I feel like we should offer Tuchel until the end of the season, if he gets top 4 then he stays on next year.Unless there's a manager that is available right now with the legitimate potential to turn this club into title challengers in a couple of years we might have to appoint an interim for the season.
I'd rather we waste 8 months and appoint a manager at the end of the season that might be able to turn the club around than appoint some freebie that no one else wants now eg Tuchel, Southgate or Potter
Ironically you've made my point.I'm not sure what you're trying to say here in practical terms.
I think potentially when Sir Alex first retired a lot of us were slightly uninspired by Moyes. But we hoped that could be something of a continuation due to his age and him seeming a very stable choice.
By the time he was gone we were pretty happy to hire Van Gaal then Mourinho who no one expected to stay for 10 years (for different reasons).
Then by the time Mourinho went we lost hope in signing the biggest name and throwing money at it hoping we would win the league short term. That's when we moved towards thinking a longer term rebuild was necessary, not because we imagined it would result in a Sir Alex like reign but because we thought it was the only way to get back to where we want to be.
I'm pretty sure almost no Utd fan would refuse a sustained 5 or 6 years of success and competing like you describe. I don't think most of us are pining for 25 years of domination right now, just being a good side that can compete with the best.
By push through I presume you mean learn to fix problems he has been completely unable to address over the last 1.5 seasons. That is so obviously not going to happen
There will always be excuses to point to but the fact we consistently look the worst organised team in the league surely means he should be sacked
No because he's not even a manager.Does anyone actually believe RVN would improve things?
I don't think he would make any difference at all.
