You’re right, we can’t properly judge him until he’s had the chance to play Mbappe up front.Maybe we want to wait until Summer to get him a proper striker to see how he’d do with one.
Luckhurst is a fecking child, if you’ve ever had the misfortune to listen to the Manchester is red podcast you’ll hear the most negative downbeat podcast on your life, as if it’s not bad enough being a United fan with all the negativity around the club as it is, that cnut likes to wade in with both barrels and you can tell he’s bitter as feck, even on the odd occasion he says something positive it sounds like a negative.'Sir Jim Ratcliffe likes the possibility of Thomas Tuchel taking over #mufc from Erik ten Hag. [Samuel Luckhurst, MEN]'
Methinks Luckhurst likes the possibility of EtH losing his job as Naughty Erik booted him out of the pressroom for being a wee snake.
For some it wasn’t possible to celebrate that game. It’s stupid, especially in a bad period you should enjoy our good moments.Is it not possible to be happy and celebrate an FA cup final win while at the same time wanting the manager to feck off because it doesn't overwrite 18 months of dreadful, depressing form?
Also, comparing the FA cup to a CL win is ridiculous.
Thank you Tuvok.I think your interactions here have highlighted how hyper emotional a large portion of the fanbase are currently which makes it nigh on impossible to discuss the topic meaningfully.
They can’t comprehend everything doesn’t have to be black and white. You can want him gone but not feel negative about every other aspect of the club at the same time. This is possible, and dare I say it, the more logical assessment.
I admire his purity. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.Whatever you say about him, man is a survivor.
It seemed to be a consistent theme that the better/higher-tier the journalist was, the more they said there was no interest in Southgate. On the flip side, it seemed that the worse the source was the more they linked us to him.The more I think about it. These guys probably did have their hearts set on Southgate to come in and settle the ship. Now he’s saying he needs a year off, their twiddling their thumbs thinking they have no options.
PleasureThank you Tuvok.
It’s like the kid at school who never gets detention even though he never does his homeworkHe is a freaking wizard. I’m honestly impressed at how he’s played our entire board and all of the ‘footballing structure’.
Dosn't just sound silly, it is silly, Ratcliffe is a hard-nosed businessman, he didn't get where he is by reacting to noise on social mediaI mean I'm not particularly annoyed with Ineos but the above would be a pretty good reason if true. Keeping on a manager who was clearly not good enough due to a lot of noise from reactionary fans on twitter? Sounds silly.
Well... I have been critical of their approach from the beginning and so far (while I acknowledge that they did some good stuff in the transfer window) have not seen much reason to get more confident in them. Not everyone thinks of them as saviours, and it's not a clown show to think that way.Fans being angry with INEOS already is peak clown show.

Variations in stances? What half head is making the case to keep him?!

Be critical when we play poorly, but don’t bring it up when we have a good game. Otherwise what’s the point?
The money people would likely be against a sacking. All those savings from redundancies will be undone overnight if/when they sack him, and worsened further still in hiring another coach along with their staff. Any miniscule sliver of hope that Ten Hag could turn it around will likely be held onto by those behind the cuts, for one.Various stances is staggering at this point. How can people view it that differently from the obvious? I get Utd fans of a certain type still backing him. But these aren’t fans, they should be so much more cut throat and unforgiving.

What an absolute mess if our owners want the manager gone but the recruitment team thinks we should stick with him. Hopefully this is bullshit because everyone at the club needs to be on the same page even if we don't agree with their decisions.'Sir Jim Ratcliffe likes the possibility of Thomas Tuchel taking over #mufc from Erik ten Hag.

While I am critical of many issues around INEOS this is none of them. It's not realistic to always expect everybody to be on the same page and it's not important. What is important is that everybody understands his roles and respects the opinion of the experts in areas that are not his own.What an absolute mess if our owners want the manager gone but the recruitment team thinks we should stick with him.

Did you not start spamming the thread yesterday demanding another poster list the reasons they love Man Utd then call them pathetic?
Who is determining who or who isn’t a fan? What a wild thing to magic up from what I saidWhat is this certain type and who are you determine who is or isn't a fan?
He’s saying that the decision makers shouldn’t be acting as fans when doing their job. They need to be detached and unemotional.What is this certain type and who are you determine who is or isn't a fan?

How in the hell could you possibly know there is no chance?I think with Omar and Ashworth etc, there all about saving money as we’ve seen by getting rid of a lot of staff and the way they approached the market. So there’s no chance they’d pay 17m on sacking a manager. Although it makes sense in the long run as missing top 4 is gonna cost us loads

The "money people" in a business look at more than spend. Paying to get rid is a significant outgoing, but continued poor performance obviously impacts future revenue. Every league position costs money, and will have an impact on commercial deals as well.
If the cost of sacking him was a decisive factor, why take up the option on his contract to extend by a further year?
Also, there's no way the Accountants are dictating to the multi-million pound a year footballing executives what they can and can't do. That's why this is all so frustrating. The "best in class" footballing structure are making the calls.
I'm simply posing a possible response to the question "why isn't everyone on the same page?" Seeing as they aren't all on the same page and wanting him to be sacked, there must necessarily be a reason. Money is often a pretty popular reason behind decision-making, moreso when it's clear from previous actions arising from our financial troubles.Excuse my lack of intelligence.. are you saying to sack him would cost more money than to pay him for the remainder of his contract? - Think about what I’ve just asked! If the answer is No, then I don’t know what there is to think about in all honesty.
Hiring new coaching staff? If they are building the club as they keep telling us they are, they are only hiring at max 3 additional coaches who’s wages are never going to be extravagant.
As an example: We hire Tuchel. Do you reckon his number two who 95% of us probably has never heard of is going to be on £1m a year? Would that be what Bayern was paying him.

No we don’t. We need experienced staff to come to their own decisions without a bunch of morons turning up at their house etc, or leaving idiotic death threats on social media. Who votes for what in that meeting is absolutely none of yours, mine or any other Joe public’s businessThis is what needs rooted out into the public domain so we know who in that board room to write off.
Ratcliffe at least seems to consistently want ETH sacked going back to before the FA cup final. We can safely say that much.
