He will be sacked. It will be extreme levels of incompetence from the senior leadership team if they don’t.

Paralysed by indecision.
This place
So they must have decided to keep him then?
Yes, it was confirmed. I suspect EtH wouldn’t agree, not just to severance (if that was even discussed) but also to Ineos wanting to downgrade his title to head coach and remove his transfer veto - plus other things I guess.
The only conclusion I can come to is that INEOS feel there’s no one available, and they feel the players aren’t doing enough. There’s no other reason for him to still be in a job.
Yep, the meeting is tomorrow evening so nobody will know anything until the leadership team have taken the decision themselves.
Let's be fair. Ultimatum from the board. Win every game from now on and the moment you draw or lose, you are fired.
Why would they give him any indication he's going to get sacked? People aren't given a heads up by their boss before they're formally told later on some of these tweets are rubbish
some of these tweets are rubbishIf INEOS don't pull the plug my confidence in them will mirror that of the current manager.
Potentially pathetic ownership in place, all good having productive windows but the manager selection is more important than everything.

For him to miraculously turn it around so they don't have to pay him off, that's literally it.
I read that. But nothing will stop him from also giving his opinion on Hag.
Better than the last games, definitely. Much more organised & disciplined. Hardly great though, I know.
I thought these guys were going to be surgical.
Keeping him around would be no way of running a top level football club. He’s crossed that event horizon, and it’s evident to anyone. Even if he wins the next two, the next time he loses two on the bounce - which we will because of how utter shit we are under him - the mood will turn sour really quick because people have no faith in his capacity long-term.
Every week, every decision, comment or even substitution being under microscopical scrutiny isn’t an environment conducive of anything good for him nor for the club and the young squad they’ve assembled.
They need to adopt that Saito Hajime/Shinsengumi “Aku soku zan (slay evil immediately)” approach, and bin this fella.

A lot more organised & disciplined though. Hardly superb, yes.
So the Real Madrid model then
He may not actually be both. Being Catholic isn't an indication of being Irish, either, nor is NI 'technically British'. Even if it is in the UK.
We don't know how he swings his oar about so cannot stipulate.
Doesn't matter, I suppose, but could be the reason Big Jim hasn't swooped (it isn't)
Honestly there’s lowering your standards and then what we’re now witnessing. To have some still wanting to defend the slop and be hopeful is just bonkers. It’s a new low.
It stands for absolutely nothing because it's not the managers preferential method of play, when things hit the fan this is an approach that Erik will use but it's clear it's not the game model he wants to employ. It was a 4-4-2 with the wingers tracking back to condense the spaces in the midfield.
The issue with the current manager is what he wants to do doesn't work.
So until there's evidence that the usual 3-1 formation at the back for the build up or the pivot with the defensive line further higher up the field shows some resemblance of being functional, there's absolutely nothing to draw as a positive conclusion.
Not necessarily no and I suspect you don't know. And if you're unfamilar with NI it's probably best to not make statements like that. As we're a sensitive bunch over here when it comes to things like that.
Gone on Holiday, turned his phone off. Won't turn it back on and just turn up for the Brentford game

JUST IN: Nobody has a clue.
Northern Ireland is literally a part of The United Kingdom. Being born in London makes him English by birthright. You could be born in NI and identify as a nationalist or see yourself as only Irish, but are still technically British as things stand. A United Ireland is likely less than 50 years away.
Getting there…
The most worrying thing about all this is that he's doing terribly and we're not even sure if it's enough for the sack. Imagine if he was finding 5th, 6th or 7th year on year, they'd probably never sack him.
I'm Irish, thanks.
What can anyone inside or outside the club possibly be seeing that makes them want to persist with him? It’s so clear cut now.
Are you saying you don't believe in the process anymore?
He booked a holiday for immediately after the FA Cup final tooGone on Holiday, turned his phone off. Won't turn it back on and just turn up for the Brentford game
It sounds stupid but it probably helps him. The club would want to do it face to face.
Northern Ireland?
This month's fixtures list is looking pretty brutal, so it almost might be better if we let Ten Hag take several for the team and then replace him after the Chelsea match, when we'll have several winnable matches in a row.
Good stuff lads, just what this thread needs.
It's obvious that Ratcliffe wants him sacked. He wanted him sacked after the FA cup game. He hasn't said a single genuinely supportive word about his position at the club in half a dozen opportunities. Also went to personally meet Tuchel.
The question is who is putting the breaks on.

I'll admit I've never owned a multi billion dollar company, but if I did I don't think an employee fecking off on holiday would stop me sacking them
Ten Hag probably.
So far the club seem to be eating up every piece of turd that comes out his mouth
It’d delay it. And by the time he’s back stances will have softened. We soften our stances quicker than any other club in the World
