You really need to ask?
Erik ten Hag | 2024/25 | Sacked

I don’t know how anyone can think he’s what we need at this point. The club got it wrong, we as fans got it wrong, it’s alright to admit a mistake. He’s simply not the guy.
Key difference last season is Spurs and Arsenal were away. Losing both those games was disappointing but it wasn't a disaster.
Meanwhile this season we've had Spurs and Liverpool at home... 3 or 4 points is what you'd hope for.
Damn it, heh, nobody thought we should change the points system before we can consider changing the gaffer, heh
In order to find last time we had a goal difference better than +1 (so +2 and more) you have to go back to 22/23 season. Also, we've only had +1 goal difference on few occassions - that was only 4 times: for one week after that lucky 1-0 win over Wolves on opening day of 23/24 season; for one week after 2-1 win at Luton in February; for 2 weeks after 4-2 win over Sheffield United in April; for one week after 1-0 win over Fulham on opening day of this season. So only for 5 weeks we had positive goal difference since last season started, and at no point had goal difference that was better than +1 since 22/23 season. That's almost year and a half. Year and a half.
Think just these stats should be enough for club to part ways with him. It can't be this poor surely.

Or it could be the case they feel under no obligation to make a statement of any kind unless there's something to announce.
Happy ten hag day
Also would need to communicate with NYSE after informing EtH.
If there was no possibility of sacking him, the club would have categorically shut down the rumours over the last couple of days, rather than having reporters waiting outside their office to conclude their meeting.
If the result of the meeting concluded that Ten Hag stays, you'd expect they would want the message out to the journos quickly rather than allowing them to speculate for the rest of the week.
So, to me, no news is good news. It could mean they're going to try sound out other managers over the next day to see who is likely available before they pull the trigger, it could mean they want to speak to Ten Hag before the news gets out.
Gut feeling is still that he's gone this week.

Well get an interim for now then
759 refreshes of this page today, and for nothing!
It’s looking like nothing is happening. Badddd sign, I think.Right, think i'm going to go and sit in the living room in the dark for a few hours.
Because it’s quite clear that he isn’t being sacked!
Just pull that trigger and announce it
Isn't that just releasing a press release before opening hours?
Well forget caring about losing or drawing then
Can you please put me in touch with your dealer?
It's farcical because they are not moving fast enough for impatient internet bedwetters?
Im betting Ten Hags role wasnt even on the agenda.
Have I ever told you the definition of insanity?
Oh right…. Thanks for the update
I cannot believe that this is being tolerated mate.
It looks as though the manager is bulletproof.
Knock on his door while on a holiday and tell him he is fired.
Embarrassing owners
This just means journalists haven’t been given any information - one way or the other.
If they aren’t briefing that he’s staying then you have to think he’s gone - unless the goal is to completely undermine his position yet again after the summer. If I was a betting man I’d bet on a morning statement.
Bring back Woodward.
“As a regular gathering of the committee, no communication would normally be issued afterwards unless a major decision had been taken. After the meeting’s conclusion, staff at the club had no indication that this had occurred. Yet the Ratcliffe-controlled football department, which is led by Ashworth, could still take the decision to remove Ten Hag in the coming days”
Let me translate this article for you.
“I have a low level contact within the club who hasn’t heard anything. I’m going to cover my bases and say that he might still be sacked but I had to write an article because my editor was nagging me”
Hope other teams put more pressure on us
Yes Jamie. You are not ITK, which is why you don't have the clarity.
Probably. But they are still open at the moment. I think it may be tomorrow before we hear anything.
We thought the same after the FA-cup final just to find they're going to take two weeks to announce that nothings changed
That's the problem with US ownership you have to wait for the NYSE to open, if you are cowarding out again then just tell us.
Hope it's not true that he stays. Before the meeting, I assumed that they had concluded that he was finished. I have big questions if they are the right guys to own this club, based on ther descisions.
Are you all really going wild because you expected Sir Jim Ratcliffe to immediately appear outside on a podium and formally announce Ten Hag had been relieved of his duties, whilst flanked by Berrada, Ashworth and Wilcox?
Some of you need to a) understand that’s not how these things work and b) get a fecking grip

We don't do that here.
Whenever he is sacked, whether he has been, tomorrow, next week, in a couple of months, its another sad ending to what once filled us all with hope.
ETH has got us two trophies, can't take that away from him.
It seems like the job is a bit the Defence Against The Dark Arts in Harry Potter, nobody can keep the job longer than a year.
