Yeah but it’s a process and he needs time and Luke Shaw is injured mate.
Well the new football guys decided to keep him last season so I am not gonna question their decision or judgment at the moment.He had more then 2 years and we are sinking since the carabao cup.
To be honest the club has been burning for the past decade so showing a bit of patience with a manager who has won two trophies wouldn’t do any harm.Would you like to see the club burning because you want to see something that won’t happen ?
I like your analogy and your mom did the right thing by teaching you to eat vegetables even if they left a bad taste in your mouth at first. Much like how you grew to like vegetables we might not enjoy ten Hag’s current situation but sticking through the tough times may lead to long term success.My mom forced me to eat vegetables even if it was living a bad taste in my mouth. I like them now. Bad test in your mouth is not the worst thing in the world if you want to stay healthy. And we look ill at the moment.
'Dipped a bit in the league'
7-0 overwrites the league cup on its own. If we're talking about legacies, Ten Hag's will boil down to one good result yielding one feel-good trophy win. Even that ended up tainted by keeping him as manager and the embarrassing fallout afterwards that brought early doubts on the new ownership.
I don’t get this way of thinking. We are 14th, in relegation battle form. Even an interim would get bounce.
That’s the definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Sometimes inaction is worse than the action.Only want him sacked if it's the right manager. Southgate can feck off.
The issue with sacking him is financial fair play otherwise the owners don't care about the dozen of millions that it would cost because it doesn't come from their pocket.
Because they stuck with their manager through the tough times and allowed him to build. Just saying, I know you’ll be triggered.

I think people are still under the impression that we are contenders.
Doesn't really help himself, does he?
He's not wrong is he. We were organized, we were the better team. It's not a bad result against a good opponent.I think he might actually be ill. Surely a sane person doesn't believe anything he comes out with.
The fact we didn't bring an experienced striker in beggars belief. OK bring a Rasmus in but he needs somebody to learn from and guide him, would have helped Garnacho with his decision making as well.I don't mind inexperienced but good potential players in the team but to compensate them the team needs couple of really good players especially in the midfield to whom they can look up to and learn. That's not the case with this team. Which new manager will give any assurance? I can see why the management is reluctant. But anyway they will need to bite the bullet and find a new manager.
There's a growing number of people who are pissed. Theyl foam at the mouth at any half opportunity until he's gone.He's not wrong is he. We were organized, we were the better team. It's not a bad result against a good opponent.
What is he supposed to say, "we were shit again and I need to be sacked"?
Can't be too hard to comprehend that is not as negative towards himself and the team as the raging mob on here.
Fair point tbfBy his and our current standards he got great results in both games. You can be sure he will be very impressed with himself.
They own two other clubs and there's plenty of evidence from their ownership of those two that you can make a fairly educated judgment about their competency.Well the new football guys decided to keep him last season so I am not gonna question their decision or judgment at the moment.

That's fair enough. I think it's at least a good indicator of where the club are with Ten Hag. There's no way he tweets that if he was on the brink of being sacked. He'll be here till the Brentford game at the very least.He doesn't have to peddle any nonsense that club wants out, he may choose to do so but it's not an obligation, plenty of beat reporters around the world don't go out of their way to share every nonsense that clubs PR teams fabricate.
You’re acting as if the manager has absolutely no baring on the results, team, and expectations. So when will your standards change? After we’ve won the league again? Will you then expect us to be challenging for the tile and have expectations of the manager? Or does the manager just get a free pass constantly?I have a reason for standing behind the manager. he is the manager of the club I support.
You are right to say my standards have slipped and they have since Fergie left. We havent challenged for the league under 6 different managers since Fergie. We finished outside the top four in six seasons and we only won five trophies in 11 years and 2 of those won by ten hag. I am realistic about where we are as a club. As low as it may sound, my standard for this season is a top 4 finish and a good cup run or 5th place in the league and a Europa League win.
I dont disagree with the points you make. We were terrible last season (although we had a huge number of injuries) and our start this season hasnt been great. But all is not lost. We could still win the Europa League and we could still finish in the top four (though if I am being honest that will be tough). But I am hopeful for a 5th place finish and a Europa League win.That 45 minutes against Palace that yielded zero goals is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that regard. Outside of that for me it's been more of the same shite that was served up all last season. We can't defend and we're toothless in attack which isn't an ideal combination in football.
I am genuinely baffled how anyone would be eager to see more of this insipid crap. If it's taken 2+ seasons for him to turn us into a bottom half side in relegation form. How long will this imagined march back up the hill actually take? Do you think there's any chance of him finsihing top 4 this season?
Are we now building towards challenging for top 4 next year in his 4th season instead? So by year 5 of the Ten Hag era we'll be where exactly? Still hoping to finish 3rd-4th? Maybe flirting with a title challenge by year 6 or 7?
It took United 17 years, 5 permanent managers and 6 months of Busby as interim before landing on Fergie.This has been done to death. We have had four managers before Ten Hag. None of them good enough.
Van Gaal and Jose hired far too late in their carreers both past it at the time of appointment.
Neither have achieved anything after us.
Ole and Moyes nowhere near the level required to manage us obviously.
Neither have achieved anything after us.
ETH with a reputation build on a champions league run that ended by beeing knocked out by Tottenham and also obviously not good enough.
Why is it so hard to understand that we simply made 5 bad choices over the last decade as far as appointing managers go.
Yup. That league cup win will only be remembered if that's one of 2-3 trophies we win in the next 50 years.
The 7-0 will be a permanent on the clubs history. The one game an entire generation of PL football fans will always remember.
How is it nuts? Surely RvN as an interim couldn't be any worse in the meantime? I doubt having no manager at all would even be worse.Oh great, so he knows who the new manger is? Or have you struggled to read my posts too.
The only thing I've said is sacking him without a replacment is nuts. The fact you all find that so controversial belweilders me.
Tedious hystera is the best way to descibe the football forums these days.
Agree. We have to move on from Ten Hag now.It took United 17 years, 5 permanent managers and 6 months of Busby as interim before landing on Fergie.
If anything, Docherty and Sexton were given too much time. Big Ron was given over 5 years. Time doesn't = success.
Liverpool took almost 25 years to replace Dalglish. They went through 7 managers and 1 interim before bringing in Klopp. They were too patient at times. Houllier got 6 years and so did Rafa. They started to learn their lesson with Hodgson. He was dismissed quickly, Dalglish was moved on after 18 months. Rodgers didn't last long into his 4th season. He had a better record than ten Hag currently does when he was dismissed after 8 PL games. 12/24 points compared to ten Hag's 8/21.
It takes a special manager to manage clubs of this size. We haven't landed on one yet. Mourinho was just starting his decline when we hired him. ten Hag looked a good option on paper. But the step up from The Eredivisie has been too much.
But he wants us to judge him only at the end of the season.
Well, I read the other day Sir Jim saying hes not the one making the football decision. So, that leaves the likes of Ashworth, Berada and Wilcox to handle those responsibilities. I remember we were all excited when they joined United because of their high competency and distinguished careers. So again I am not going to question their decision to keep Ten Hag at this moment.They own two other clubs and there's plenty of evidence from their ownership of those two that you can make a fairly educated judgment about their competency.
No doubt our league form this season has been poor. 8 points from 7 games and sitting in 14th place is simply not good enough and 2 points in the Europa League isnt great either. But I dont call for the manager to be sacked at this stage. Despite the disappointing results I have seen some promising performances this season. Apart from the Liverpool and Spurs games, our performances were not that bad even in the games we lost vs Brighton and City in the Community Shield. Theres no question Ten Hag needs to start winning consistently but I dont believe sacking him now is the right move. Lets get behind the team and the manager surely thats not too much to ask?
It’s not ridiculous to think that though, the league campaigns, lack of goals, results and massive losses are all worseHe has won two cups. Ole won feck all and didn’t get us close in the league. Moyes took a side that won the league to 6th.
Our Europa League final loss was all down to Ole. It was pathetic. Ten Hag out foxed Guardiola and beat Liverpool on the way to that FA Cup.
I get that people are sick of him and want him sacked but I just don’t get the point in resorting to ridiculous arguments other than to vent your frustration. He’s been objectively more successful than both Solskjaer and Moyes. It’s ridiculous to claim he will be classed as having a worse tenure than either of them.
It will be too late by then - we'll get relegated at this rate. 5 goals scored in the PL of which 3 came in the Southampton game. Our stats this season are abysmal and he has no injury excuse this time.
Games played | Win Rate | Cumulative Goal Diff |
---|---|---|
First 63 games | 66.67% | 46 |
Second 62 games | 43.54% | 6 |
All 125 games | 55.2% | 52 |
