We could have put anyone in the caf in charge for this season and the results wouldn't have been worse.

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?!
Lads needs to go. We look terrible playing football. Nothing going in attack or ideas.
Get someone in with fresh ideas. Even go back to basics and play 2 upfront.
This shite every week, getting the ball out to Garnacho and Rashford and wait for a moment of magic. Shite football.

0-0 away against Villa is ok. But the overall picture this season is miserable. Management came close to firing him last season, and now they have to get serious about it. No signs of improvement.
Yeah two seasons in a row now we've suffered our worst start to a PL season. Depressing stuff.
Last season was our worst ever CL campaign this year in Europe is shaping up to be the same.
Someone make it stop.
Called it. Said we'd be lucky to get 3 points from those three games. We got 2.
Why because the long and patient journey he’s spoken about has started slowly? People are so weird.
Waiting for the back percentage to go up by 5%.
Languishing 14th in the league, absolute disgrace. If INEOS don’t pull the trigger guy on this guy in the next few days I’ll lose a lot of faith in their ability to return this club to the top.
8 points from 7 games means we're on course to narrowly avoid relegation. Let's go!
We are still waiting on Luke Shaw to make us title contenders.
Get a grip son
We haven't won a match since Barnsey on September 17th, or scored a goal in the league since September 14th but tell us more about all this perseverance
Such a shit result because I think it increases the chance of him not going.
If we'd have won at least there would have been a positive of 3 points.
You really have to question the ambition and ruthlesness of INEOS if he now remains in charge.

His biggest problem is that he’s got 350m worth of his signings on the bench because he can’t get them playing. Evans played well so he’s in now ahead of Martinez, De Ligt, Maguire with Yoro also coming back?
What’s going on with Ugarte? We’re not playing with a DM and when we do Casemiro us getting minutes ahead of him
Worst ever start to a pl season with -3 GD and a team full of brand new out of form players it’s a mess. If INEOS are on the fence about sacking him and watched that and thought we should continue then we may as well give up hope

No fecking way he survives. If he does, then, INEOS are just useless.
I actually feel sick at the thought they'll keep him. Starting to really hate him now. Complete fraud.
At the moment I have no confidence in Ineos.
Why would you want him to stay. What have we seen on pitch in the last 18 months to suggest that his approach has any level of viability for long term success? What is going to change?
Maybe 5 convincing performance out of the last 60/70, it is incredible it has been allowed to go on this long.

Worst manager post Fergie and it's not close.
Quite clear the club has given up if he is not fired in the next two days

Hopefully that was his last game
27% win rate this season. Surely can't survive that. It's not like we're unlucky, our football is genuinely atrocious.
Only want him sacked if it's the right manager. Southgate can feck off.
We haven't won a game in our last 5. Last win was against Barnsley so no credit is given for that.
We've scored 5 goals in the league.
There isn't a single positive thing that can be said about us under ETH right now
27% flatters him. We didn’t deserve anything from Fulham either.
Not sure if serious
At Wembley in the summer it felt like Ten Hag stumbled on an approach that could go somewhere. Pretty much ever since it's been awful.
His words that we would never play Ajax football should probably have been the final straw thinking back. That was the man who was meant to move us on from Oleball telling us that weren't happening.
Instead we have been left with what we saw today, which isn't even Oleball. Sure it's compact but with none of the fast breaks or quick counters that made what came before remotely threatening.
We play rigid position football, where our players go forward like chess pieces waiting for the next guy to move to where he's been coached to get the ball. It's basically Van Gaal plus.
It's not worth continuing with this.
If we are going to continue to play some version of this then, let's be real, there are many available coaches better at teaching it than Ten Hag.
If we are not then, by going back to basics, Ten Hag has already shown he's incapable of getting this United to play a successful possession style.
It's over.

As a manager, you cannot bring in De Ligt and Ugarte for big money and then play Evans and Eriksen instead of them in a huge game.
There is no process going on here, he is making things up as he goes on.

Thanks for the trophies Eric, good luck in your future endeavours.
Nonsense we need to just start hiring and firing more managers and much quicker if they are shit.
Most of the time it's really easy to tell when a manager isn't up to it after a few months
INEOS won't sack him over back to back draws.
That makes no sense based on his investment and the stadium stuff.
It can't actually get any worse. We can't score. We have a win rate of about 25%. Our form over a longer period than just the start of this season is relegation worthy.
Getting rid of him is a positive. No doubt about it.
Will there be a petition to get him sacked? Or does that only happen when we want to keep shit managers?
So what happens now? What's the talk about his future?
I get the feeling they will take the draws as positives and roll with it until it gets much worse and the season is over.

Thanks for the memories!
We need to move him on asap.
14th 
if he gets to manage another United game then INEOS should be going with him
if he gets to manage another United game then INEOS should be going with him@Samid A good days fishing, that's 2 in as many minutes.
I hope INEOS show some ruthlessness and sack him. Worst start to a PL season. Somehow managed a draw today but our football was still shite. No way should his future be decided by the game today.
