He’s 100% going. They would have leaked to the usual journalists before now that he’s still got backing if he was staying. The silence is a killer for ETH.
They wanted him gone in the summer and he survived purely because they couldn’t get Tuchel. This will be the second time they’re having a meeting to discuss the managers position that in itself is ridiculous
I would say this season has already gone, unfortunately.Wait ‘till Christmas it’ll be another season gone and this circus will continue
Our aim should be 4th,which is still achievable if we replace Ten Hag with somebody who is competentI would say this season has already gone, unfortunately.
United are 10 points behind Liverpool already and that's only likely to get bigger. At this point in the season, they're already asking Liverpool to lose 3 games and draw 1, just to get equal. To put that into perspective, they only lost 4 games all season last year.
United have already lost this season, in just 7 games, that City lost all season, 3.
This season is already done, it's more about building for the following season. Again.
Good post. And going for managers that the fans want isn't always the best option. See ten Hag who 99% of the fanbase wanted.INEOS appoint the best in the land at board level & we all clamour for elite appointments.
We do and because they talk to people who aren’t the shiny toy of the month it’s all “doesnt inspire confidence does it” - Lord help us.
And to be fair, the past has lead us to an unrealistic level of expectation, Man Utd fans expect the best and we were the best? Why were we the best? Because we had all the money and were streets ahead of everyone else.
Now the rest have caught up and have just as much, if not more money than us, we can’t expect them sort of levels anymore.
Now by no means do I not expect the best, but I don’t expect us to be head and shoulders above everyone because it’s not realistic anymore.
Wow. This is horrific. Lower than LVG and Mourinho. Lower than Moyes. Nowhere near Ole.

Was Ole really that bad?
I think he meant that the older, loyal fans are passing due to age and other factors. The younger fans who are getting into football, are less and less likely to be picking Manchester United.What utter tosh. Fanbase hasn’t dwindled.
If you stop supporting the club because we finish 14th you were never a fan in the first place. I’d still support United if we got relegated and millions of others would.
(& I’m talking “you” as in generally here, not you personally)
The level of opponent integrated with the result vs said opponent.What is this ranking? What does it take into account?
I'm not doing anything. I'm simply looking at the data there.He was bad. Just not this bad. Too many rose tinted classes from some people looking back at the Ole era.

There’s absolutely no way ETH could make top 4 ….cups more often luck of the drawI think that's a bit premature.
The majority would take top 4 now, and did we really expect to be going for the title this season or were we aiming for progress and top 4? I don't know. We still have Europa, FA Cup and League Cup as well.
This season is still saveable for a decent season. I just hope that is the thing that saves EtH as opposed to a positive for moving him on.

You think the season is done because we're 10pts behind the leader at this stage? You aimed for the title in 24/25?I would say this season has already gone, unfortunately.

Yeah he was, as soon as he was promoted from interim it went to shit. The final few months had a similar feeling to now, we were expecting to lose all our games.Was Ole really that bad?
The meeting probably hasn't even happened yet, it's only half 10. Nothing was ever going to be announced before this afternoon or tomorrow.Could still be something announced in the afternoon, right? This sure does feel like Halloween season, and looks like they're keeping him around for the biggest horror show we've ever seen.
It also came apparent Ole lacked disciplineYeah he was, as soon as he was promoted from interim it went to shit. The final few months had a similar feeling to now, we were expecting to lose all our games.
We could have probably got to more than 74 points too if we had not secured top 3 spot that early that season. Towards the end of season we had to play 3 games in 4 days (Villa on May 9, Leicester on May 11 and Liverpool on May 13) which was ridiculous too.He had us playing at a similar level to Jose but without being able to win a cup final. It makes sense they peaked at the same ELO. Jose wins the Europa league then finishes second on 81 points the next season. Ole finishes second with 74 and gets to the Europa final.

Age is definitely a factor. My dad has supported Celtic all his life, but he's reached a point, along with a lot of his friends where he's just not that interested anymore, like he used to be. I guess you get football fatigue after a while.I think he meant that the older, loyal fans are passing due to age and other factors.

The leaks indicate he won't be sacked.
It's a shame because I don't think he's turning this around and it will carry on until Christmas time
I'd love to have seen how he would have done without bringing Ronaldo in.Yeah he was, as soon as he was promoted from interim it went to shit. The final few months had a similar feeling to now, we were expecting to lose all our games.
What’s interesting is that the 2 Dutch managers and their philosophy is what’s caused the biggest downgrade

No I didn't aim for the title because I'm not mental, it was part of a conversation about ETH being allowed to stay until Christmas, you have to read the posts back in context.You think the season is done because we're 10pts behind the leader at this stage? You aimed for the title in 24/25?
The season in in early stages, plenty opportunities still to make it a good one.
Dutch managers have historically been utter shite in the Premier League.What’s interesting is that the 2 Dutch managers and their philosophy is what’s caused the biggest downgrade
