It can just about be salvaged. Like 19/20. But this time with a change of manager.
Jackson quoting the same sources that told The Guardian Ten Hag was gone regardless of the cup final against City?
Get the feeling Ratcliffe will order sushi so they will all follow suit and sit there the whole time wishing they had a meal deal whilst Ratcliffe doesn't even touch it.
Apart from Wilcox who will order a burger and chips and eat it happily.
Looks like Deadpool without the mask.
Or worse, wasn't he the one saying regardless of what happens in the FA cup final he was gone?
He has no clue what is going on.
You aren't allowed to under the bylines and regulations that the PLC operates under. It is required that all decisions that could substantially alter the share price, financial situation and/or operation of the business is subject to board approval. Hiring and firing the manager falls under that category.
So the best cause of action is just to follow normal procedure and take it up to a vote when the CEO makes a recommendation.
The whole Man Utd can't afford to sack the manager is also nonsense, because the manager isn't usually paid compensation in one lump sum.
Hopefully they make the right call and we can move on from this nightmare. It's been glaringly obvious where we've been heading for 12 months now. Some would say longer even.
ITV News, we are massive aren’t we
I think everyone is expecting a solid output from this meeting. Stays or goes.
Since the 7-0 and the Sevilla 3-0 for me.
Surprised gary Neville isn't involved in the meeting
Hm? I'm agreeing that's clueless.

Will there be a post meeting press conference? Never have I seen so much expectation and scrutiny on a routine monthly business meeting.
ETH being confident in keeping his job isn’t a good sign. He also said he spoke to them after the villa game.

I doubt there will be an announcement of any kind if he stays. He'll just continue in his role and that will be that.
I can't remember what games did it for me, I just remember the absolute shambles the start of last season was, after not being great from the Newcastle league Cup win. And it was around this point last year that I realised we were never moving forward under him.
Should Ten Hag stay......
then the board must explain this decision to the fans.

Agreed, it is crazy the amount of coverage that is happening over a business review.
They must know that the general public and media will be expecting something.
In fairness that could well have been true at the time but they obviously dragged it out and changed their minds.
Rachel Riley is attending today's meeting
The whole situation is utterly bonkers. The decision should be the easiest one they've ever made. At any other club he'd have already been gone and not a single person would've been surprised.
It’s not just a business meeting, it’s an MUFC business meeting.
My lad is 15 and supports United by default (or should that be "my fault"?) Bar the odd mostly forgettable trophy, he has only ever known us to be turd. I feel quite sorry for him as a lot of his mates are Citeh supporters in what has and continues to be their golden era. I actually said to him a few years back, "Look, don't support United just because I do. It's up to you who you support and I would totally understand if you went for another team because we are utter turd and have been for a long time." To his credit he stuck by us, but I don't half feel like a fraud.
And there wouldn't be such fecking furore about sacking a ridiculously underachieving manager.
Is it routine?
If the largest and second largest shareholders typically don't attend a specific meeting and then suddenly do is that not a significant deviation from the routine? Especially for a business that is very publicly experiencing some turbulence.
Mental when you think it was only 1-0 at HT in that game at Anfield and we looked the better team if memory serves me right. I could never have imagined the horror show coming in that second half.
Madrid and Bayern would’ve sacked him 4 times over by now. Chelsea 3 times over. Barca 3 times over.
We are a joke.
ETH was confident whilst United were openly interviewing and meeting up with other potential managers, it’s all a front on ETH’s side as no human being could be confident when your bosses are openly trying to replace you.
Yep agreed. I remember thinking we had a chance and could get back into the game in the second half. 6 goals later…
What was Ole’s worst defeat?
6-1 vs Mourinho's Spurs at OT?
Nobody could do better than him.
His expected xGdiff at Bayern was 1.6. He got done by a once in a generation Leverkusen team. By comparison, Erik Ten Excuses has an expected xGdiff of -0.3 at United. There’s levels to managerial performance and Tuchel is as elite a manager as anny realistically available.
Sevilla in the EL. Though that was really his fault. They won by not scoring a fecking goal on their own. All gifted. Even the one in the final. Never seen that before.
5-0 at home to Liverpool. For me that was worse than the 7-0 away. Underlying XG was worse if I'm not mistaken, plus it was on our own turf.
Mid November vs Watford there was a 4-1 too, and we were 4pts off 16th place at that point. I think this was when he was finally sacked.
Agreed. There is no club of comparable size to us that would persist with Ten Hag.
For example, could you imagine Inter losing 7-0 to Juve and 6-3 to Milan in the same season and giving the manager 'time'?
Man Utd is literally the only big club in football where you can fail for an extended period of time and stand of chance of keeping your job.
I agree. The JuAnfield one I could just about live down because it was at their place. However, being done at home 5-0 to them of all teams. Head still wobbles frankly. I love Ole but he should've gone that weekend.
Watford I don’t really consider because he was pretty much gone by then but yes I think Liverpool was the worst. Still annoyed by Lamela not getting a red in that Spurs game.
They're going to balls this up, aren't they? Classic United.
