I just have to laugh at this point. I was outraged with how low we got under Ole and how he kept surviving, but reading the this thread tonight and all the stats, we're considerably worse. And the dreaded 'R' word is now creeping in, which will be on everyone's mind if we lose next weekend and a couple of other results go a certain way.
I've been wanting rid of ETH for so long now that I just feel tired by it all. Seeing him survive that last break and come out talking is though he's bullet proof has me feeling indifferent to everything related to United right now. I didn't even come in here expecting to hear anything about him being sacked as I subconsciously know he's not going anywhere for a long time, and I'm at the point where I don't care what we do as this season is done anyway.
Every loss or dropped points just feels like nothing to me right now, a normality, and that's why i found the stats so startling as to how bad we've been. It's really crazy how far we've fallen, and it's criminal how INEOS have allowed this to happen. But here we are. Even my excitement and hope that they brought has now completely eroded. I'm looking at all their appointments through a different lense now and wondering how good these appointments actually are. Seeing United fans get excited by their arrival kind of feels like looking back on that excitement over things like the Alexis Sanchez signing...just another complete misplacing of hope. And the potential for that was always there when you look at the fact they are doing entirely different roles (Berrada, Wilcox) or just have never been part of a top, successful setup (Ashworth). We're fecking fecked, I can just feel it.
You have put into words perfectly how I feel
It's the hope that kills, I thought he was finally the right fit manager wise. I thought Ineos said the right things and wanted to get us back to the top
Husband who supports Liverpool said surely he's gone if we go out the cup midweek and lose to Chelsea. Honestly, I don't think even that will do it, Chelsea will be passed of as the level we are aspiring to in Moyes style. He's survived humiliations by what used to be fellow top 6 clubs before
I honestly think it will take an utter humiliation by a lower table club in the same way it was a pumping by Watford that finally sent Ole packing as they quite simply couldn't ignore such a disgusting result. (We've had a great number of those but it seemed even they couldn't ignore that)
Let's not forget a vast majority of us on tne forum wanted him gone after the FA cup even if we won. I said before we could won 10-0 and I'd still sack him because of everything that had gone before, yet they bowed to pressure and kept him on so only have themselves to blame for now having a greater compensation package due.
I get he can't sort the shocking finishing and shocking decision making but we are in free fall and have been for a very long time.
Could a win ever be as bad as a loss? As that's what the FA cup feels like
If they do finally sack him only to replace him with Southgate I give up hope completely
