Well is the manager still here? Yes. I don’t know if the payment goes down the later they sack him or what.

Also, simple statement like 'x wanted to keep Ten Hag and y didn't', cause you need to know the arguments. It's certain that no-one is saying Ten Hag is doing well.
We don’t need to know, we don’t know the context of their thoughts. All it does is make it open season for the knuckle draggers to come out from under their rock again

There’s some honking names on that list but that one gave me a belly laugh.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Roberto Martinez was even considered!Marco Silva
Which is exactly the same concept to every club in world football who sacks a manager.
It’s not and should never be our concern. He gets paid the remainder of his contract or maybe we settle on a pay off. Eitherway it should never be a deterrent to getting rid of an underperforming manager.
That will probably happen anyway in some form if results keep spiralling.
Look at Woodward. Okay he was a useless CEO, but still seemed a decent guy and genuinely wanted the club to succeed. Didnt deserve masked twats all over his lawn. But because he was the lone decision maker he had nowhere to hide from the scrutiny.
Now we have 6 of them and if things keep going wrong it'll turn into a merry go round of passing the buck.
A big part of a football focused ownership group is that they will prioritize the big decisions regardless of cost and adjust their spend elsewhere. You gotta manage your finances but the manager just needs to be right. If he's not the one going forward, you sack him asap and absorb the cost and find the right person. If it impacts the transfer market, so be it.
I didn't expect someone saying this in hindsight about Woodward. Did expect even less that I would agree. Woodward clearly lacked football knowledge and didn't have the support he would have needed to do a better job (which was his own fault as he could have signed top people for that job just like INEOS now tried), but he clearly had some kind of standards and clear red lines that a manager couldn't cross without consequences.
I don't get the feeling that these standards Woodward (ffs...) had still exist.
That’s why our scrutiny should be with the boss who put the structure together - Ratcliffe, rather than individuals. Individuals don’t need to be open to bullying
My favourite part of all this is how an headline comes out and no matter its vailidity or shallowness certain people run with it and make obscene scenarios in their heads as though it’s fact! Great entertainment
United can obviously afford to sack him - that isn't a major issue here.
(And the idea that Jim is reluctant to pull the trigger because of PSR is blatantly ridiculous.)

From Jims comments and rumours(if true), he seems to be most keen to sack him.
You dont't think it would be worse to have the reputation of being a club that sacks the manager the moment the going gets a bit tough? What kind of signal does that send out to the world? Not only to aspiring managers out there but also as a life lesson in general. Money can't buy love and loyalty.
"It would cost us seventeen million pounds" is the only possible argument.
Worst part in delaying this is that I'm dreading watching our games these days. I can't stop myself from watching, but I no longer look forward to it. I was hoping with some kind upcoming fixtures this would have been a great time to get a new manager and inject some positivity around the team. Really can't take another month of this.
This money argument is a nonsense. It’ll cost the club a lot more if he stays. The longer he’s here the more costly.
Hear ya mate. All I care about is watching young players develop at this point. Only thing that keeps me interested. I'll always watch and support the Club, just not that fun right now. Hopefully, always darkest before the dawn and all that....
It’s funny watching journalists scramble for word counts and clicks in a vacuum of information.
If we sacked a manager the moment things get a bit tough then Ten Hag would be gone long, long before the start of this season.
Yeah but Dicker has to make bread during an intentional break when United aren't playing and providing him with an easy target for rage bait
I might not like INEOS indecision on this but I do like that journalists don't have a clue.
I fully agree with you. I was just responding to the question you asked.
As many had stated, the silence from the board is telling. It's almost certain that ETH will be gone. None of the football structure people come out to defend ETH in the media even though strong rumors circling around that ETH will be sacked. Finger crossed.
Yes, and it's not much money in the great scheme of things. Easy for a club like ours to trim things here and there to generate £14m if they really wanted.
Amrabat £8.5m loan fee. I'm assuming we paid his wages on top which would make it close to £14m altogether, at least 11 or 12. It's not having him for a year.
It's not signing Malacia or Telles. It's selling someone like Elanga.
Problem is they’ve wasted a week of international break that an interim could’ve used to bed in. Monday would’ve been the logical day to do it, can’t see the reason for the delay unless it’s basically keeping him and they don’t feel obliged to announce that he’s staying.
Yes the press have run out of things to write and they started rehashing.
rehashing old news and trying to pass it off as breaking news
They're really milking it
Hi. Are you bizarrely still avoiding telling me what you love about Manchester United?
Most of the key players are away during international weeks. I am still hopeful that the end of ETH is near. If it's not during this international break, it will be very soon if the next few results didn't go our way.
The silence of SJR, Berrada, Ashworth and Wilcox says a lot.
I say what I see.
Breaking news United got rejected by Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp. In 2013.
Ok both sides cut this out or take it to PM’s.
difference in PL prize money alone is 22 mil between 14th and 8th, add another 11m for 4th, so getting in Tuchel say and probably guaranteeing at least 8th or better is still a net gain, that is without considering the cost of crashing out of Europe early and/or failing to secure European football next season.... 14m to replace ETH is a no-brainer
