I'm not going to debate you on exactly how good or not our squad is but this team currently doesn't even look like the 8th best squad, and our form over the last half seasons' worth of PL games is only marginally, marginally better than relegation form....so even, even if I accept what you're saying is true....that doesn't explain why it's SO bad

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
You reckon he'll get a new contract?
You shouldn’t respect stupidity
Genuinely curious to why you were ETH during summer. Some serious mindbending needed to have that stance. This is just par from last season so impressed that over a full season of this didnt convince that he needed to go.
It's over. Forget the excuses, there's no way back from this. The sooner we accept that, the better.
Unfortunately, as expected, we've thrown away another season instead of doing what should've obviously been done last summer or earlier.

We don't know that, we can't say they won't be better under Ruud but what we do know for certain is that they will never be better with EtH still there.
Spurs has been a tough opponent even in SAF era. But we came from 3 nil down to win 5-3 twice if my memory is correct. What a distant memory!
I don't see him surviving now. There's some real talent in that United squad and it's just not working. Maybe it's a combination of bad luck, poor individual finishing and a total lack of belief in the squad, but for his sake and the players it's time to try something different
We face Mourinho's Fenerbahce soon. Maybe he will put the final nail in
Dead man walking
And just like that we have a new one to add to the list! Potential seven games records. Brilliant.
I can see your logic mate but that would be a similar case for any club with a struggling manager and yet clubs still quite often choose to appoint interim managers. Because sometimes the guy in the job is just struggling so badly he just has to go.
There's no point in delaying the decision, EtH isn't the man to pull it back from here. He's had two and a bit seasons and we haven't improved nearly enough.
8th last season and we could drop below that with how we've started. That just isn't good enough! We have honestly regressed as a side!

Any person in the ground, what's the feeling? Have the people sentiments shifted already?
I agree. I think Moyes and Rangnick are better Premier League coaches than Ten Hag.
40 years a suporter, I can't remember when a manager has had such a negative impact on our club, play style, players. Or when we've played so poorly for so long.
Actually, we started the season by winning the ball quite often in the opponents third so the press was sort of working. That combined with horrendous finishing and decision making though.
It is ominous now. Berrada and co were sat there watching this garbage. Ten Hag is toast, it is only a matter of time.
Exactly.
Probably a standing ovation
No team - I don't care if it's Barcelona or FC Brian of the red dog inn - should come to Old Trafford and have it easy. That's on the manager in my opinion, there is just no belief among the players anymore.
the red card actually made us better. Which is still sheeit, but better than the stinking sheeit we were serving up in the first half with 11 men.
Can't think of a worse United team in my lifetime.

Ref adding 6 minutes of added time. What a sadist 
It looks like he's lost the dressing room as well now. Whatever that means.
Oh, I'm sure that the usual suspects will be along shortly to explain how Ten Hag is amazing and Bruno is at fault not just for the card but also his performance yet again (completely ignoring that Ten Hag keeps fecking playing him).
Exactly. They don’t realise that the excuse also extends to every other club. There must be something at every single club in the league if they keep sacking managers, surely? All clubs must be run shit and all these world class managers are just failing all the time due to it.
he won't make it to there
I just have a bad feeling they are going to stick with him until November/December.
He was completely out of his depth last year, it’s never going to work out and simply zero justification for keeping him but I think they were just hoping he could do a job for a year whilst they sorted themselves out.
It's fecking insane to me that people are still thinking "well if he loses to Villa then he should be sacked"
I don't think it's respectable at all, it just comes off as a soft as feck club still romanticizing the hope that every manager is Sir Alex Ferguson instead of operating like a top sporting institution that doesn't accept failure.
He will fluke a win against Villa next week and the cycle will continue. So let’s put an end to this before next week.
So... will he get the sack now? Please
He's gone. Players clearly don't believe in him either.
He’s done after Porto.
Sacked in the morning. The whole bloody board is there.
He has to go before then. Losing 3-0 at home to anyone is unacceptable and this is the second time it's happened in the first 3 home matches of the season
I fear ETH will get a pass for this latest loss because we were playing with 10 men
HUGE nail in Erik's coffin
Not sure he will be sacked, esp with undeserved red card excuse but if he loses to Porto and Villa as well he will be gone

Disagree. Don’t think he’s lost the dressing room at all. It’s his tactics; they are THAT bad.
I'm a fan of ten Hag but his time at United has to be up. Six games in and we've lost 3 already.
We were losing before the red card. I think he's done
It's incredible how long he's lasted considering the amount of absolutely embarassing losses he's put us through.
We lost 7-0 to our most hated rivals and he lasted almost 2 years after that.
