I am adamant they have told him to dial things back a bit to get some points on the board, but that outside of a run of straight wins and champagne football, he is gone in this next break. I have read things about the run of games after the last international games over Christmas through to February is the best environment to gain new manager bounce if you can build momentum.
Erik ten Hag | 2024/25 | Sacked

At this stage the sample size is big enough to make conclusions. He's not as good as the Dutch league made him look. He can't control games or possession, he can't organise a productive attack and he's replaced highly rated players who couldn't perform for him with his former players who also by and large couldn't perform for him.
If we let Ragnick just do his plan and cleared out then, I wonder how far we woulda sank, but I think we woulda been fine.
Issue was glazers woulda still made the transfers so who knows?
He’s just over whelmed man. He does care, you can tell he hates how he’s doing. He’s a completely different person then when he came in.
For me it’s the blatant insecurity and self defense that you always see on a manager who knows he is gonna be sacked eventually
Everyday longer he stays in the job, the more credibility Ineos loses.
Who on the list above would actually leave mid season and who is just straight up available? Potter, Southgate, not such a good list!
Ángel Di María, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Matteo Darmian should be on this list
Erik ten Hag says he totally ignores the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham because of the Bruno Fernandes red card and fact it was overturned. "I deny and ignore that Spurs game because the red card was overturned.”
Kids, this is how you treat your job like playing a video game. When things don't go your way, just rage quit and pretend it never happened

Is there anyone who still supports him?
I can’t stand him anymore. Every word that comes out of his mouth is just completely delusional. He’s overstayed his welcome and I still can’t believe that INEOS are not taking action. My only hope is that they’re planning to sack him as soon as they find their ideal successor.
But probably better than ethl!
they'll probably wait until he's out of the CL qualifications
There are an annoying handful around that either support him or are on the fence and still want him to continue. They will be more active once we win a game. May take a while.
Oh dear, Pidgey, have you been at the viagra again?
I feel bad for him now. I went from the "shake fist at" stage into the next stage.
It's easier to make a list of the players we bought since Fergie who were NOT a waste of money:
1. Bruno
We either buy average players, good players on their last legs, or take risky fliers on untested players. The days of buying best-in-class are long since gone. If it weren't for our academy players coming through, we'd be well and truly fecked.
He should have walked in the summer, I mean the club were interviewing replacements openly. And I think he's eventually realized he isn't turning this around and he's out of his depth.
Wow that’s a great way of looking at your work and responsibilities. Just ignore when something goes wrong. Can he be more delusional?
And we were already really shit before the red card:
Still can’t believe he started a full back in AM when Amad played there for Sunderland. The guy is full of shit
The Youtube fan channel "experts" probably still do
Yes. And the red card against Tottenham. Zero self respect the guy. Embarrassing clown with zero pride. Never disliked a manager more than him. Even Moyes was more honest about his work here.
Most definitely. There are a few who’re desperate die-hard fans of him, and continue to back him even if it meant bad results for us, because they couldn’t ever be wrong. You’ll see them crawling out again after a win or two.
If we can't beat this current West Ham side, it would really being a painful example of where we sit as a team. They look a total uninspiring mess, and West Ham look bad too 
Ignoring the Tottenham game because of Fernandes's red card, as if they weren't completely shitting on United for the 43 minutes before that. 
He has clearly lost his mind.
He has clearly lost his mind.
Perhaps he already had a plan that he was about to relay to his team at half time which would have led to a much better second half performance and a win. Remember he’s a genius tactician and a serial winner that can’t lose.
how long must we sing this song
He was just about to move Mazraoui into the 10 position. Tottenham wouldn't have known what hit them had it not been for that sending off.
It's all getting a bit Moyesy and memeable, isn't it?
Exactly. He’s a clown. We should’ve been 4-0 down by the time Bruno was shown red.
INEOS must have an incoming manager in mind and are just buying time until he becomes available. I refuse to believe they are invested in ETH’s “process”. And ETH knows it too and is just playing the game to secure his pay out.
I’ve never wanted to believe Wheeler more, shame he usually talks twaddle.
A Liverpool fans opinion on Ten Hag… we are a joke club for keeping him this long.
It was even worse when Solskjaer was at the helm and was still delivering top-four finishes. Rival fans, unobstructed by the sentimentality of our fanbase, could see that we were heading straight toward a dead-end street, and they were begging for us to offer him a lifetime contract. At least now, there are just a handful of awkward voices. In those days, reading the Caf felt like watching the Twilight Zone.
The door is right there for him if he wants to resign because he feels like he's losing his dignity and standing. I have no sympathy for him at all and this is the furthest thing from sad. No one has his family hostage and are forcing him to continue managing United.
I'm hoping there's something brewing with Inzaghi. But it'd still make this season much more enjoyable if we just let Ruud step in. We're not going to do anything of note, and if it's between him or ETH for the season then it's an easy decision.
In all likelihood though, none of the above is happening or even being considered. Ineos have probably told ETH to play more defensively to get the media off his back and stop the rot, and that they'll splash loads of money on him in the next two windows to bring his vision to life.

I’ve no idea why anyone would feel any sympathy for him. The smidge I had for him midway through last season is long gone. The Bloke doesn’t help himself.
Problem is if Ruud takes over interim and gets a couple of good results, the board will reward him with a 6 year deal and then never be able to afford to pay him off. Rinse, repeat.
Do you see the pattern why we lose shit under pressure against everyone? The man himself can’t handle the pressure. He’s talking nonsense and blaming everyone but himself for so long. Neither had the charisma or the cojones to manage such a big club abit like Moyes but somehow he fooled everyone and now his incompetence is out in the open. He’s the worst manager we’ve ever had. Absolutely taking us to the cleaners.

That post is fecking deluded. "Says all the right things" and "not quite shit enough to get fired"... errrrrr what?
His praise should be for the ownership. He’s done more than enough to get fired at pretty much any other club in the worldA Liverpool fans opinion on Ten Hag… we are a joke club for keeping him this long.
