By announcing he is staying they would be acknowledging there is a problem. Which there isn't of course, all is well. Tickety boo old pip.
Of course. If they say that he is staying they are just sending a message that he is close to sack. And if poor results continue and they sack him in a month then that will make them look incompetent.We’re not owed a public announcement if he’s staying. The one in the summer was different, it had been made clear his future was being debated and discussed. We’ll only hear something if he’s gone I think.

Do a performance review.What would you do in Berrada and Sir Jim’s shoes?
No, these meetings happen every month. Last months was held in Barcelona, I think it was, because SJR was there for some reason.
It sadly worked for keeping him here during the summer, so yes.
Sir Jim the old bloke who slams the walking stickThis is like that board meeting in Chernobyl (the HBO series) where they decide to keep information about the disaster contained.
We all know that RBMK reactors don't explode.This is like that board meeting in Chernobyl (the HBO series) where they decide to keep information about the disaster contained.
The performance review will go:Do a performance review.
Based on the transfers we brought in, we are targeting success long term by building a squad with young world class potential.
A measured approach is the right one.
Just a quick couple of points,Not sure what is so hard to understand.
- top replacements only available in the summer
- giving 8 months to an interim is too high of a risk, what if he fails spectacularly within 2 months?
- as worrying as the situation is, theoretically easier upcoming fixtures which could see us turn the situation around
- sacking is expensive
Rather waste this season in order to get a top top relpacement, than give it now to someone who doesn't guarantee better outcome
That ‘s what it looks like to me too.Nah, it's practically his team now.
And I don't think the players are downing tools. They genuinely look fecking confused on the pitch about their roles.
They do: managers have won leagues after suffering relegation form. Football is unpredictable.ETH has to go, and go now. Managers do not come back from these situations.
Maybe they are trying to drive the value of the club down, and feck with the finances to get to a point where the Glazer's are forced into a full sale at a better priceI've come to the conclusion that this is ' all part of the plan ' from Ineos.
I can't believe for one moment, having taken into account of last seasons form, that the current poor performances are a surprise to them.
They don't want to publicly say it , of course, but I think this season is abit of a write off for them and maybe this has been discussed in house long before the season even started.
So, my prediction is they'll stick with ETH for the rest of the campaign, with all the mediocrity on show, and kick start their philosophy in the summer with their guy.
Personality, I think Ineos are far more concerned with the stadium redevelopment and updating the Carrington training complex.
A fraud... just throwing shit at the wall and it never sticks.Does anyone know who Ross Harwood on X is?
That board you are referring to is the politburo . Our lot has a long way to go before reaching that level.This is like that board meeting in Chernobyl (the HBO series) where they decide to keep information about the disaster contained.
Maybe. But surely they want to put all the speculation to bed 1 way or another. Either back him or sack him. That way the rumours die downLike others have said though, there's a big chance they say nothing at all. There's a chance that the subject of sacking him was barely discussed, and we're all waiting for nothing.
It encompasses a bit more than just looking at the results. They will focus on things that need improving. Some of these are obvious (scoring goals), most are not.The performance review will go:
At the start of the season, under the current Head Coach we are in 14th place.
We place 18th in goals scored. 12th in xG. 14th xGA. This is after similar stats shown over the last 12 months in the Premier League, actually we’ve gotten worse.
What do you do next?
The fact that they’ve not publicly come out and said his jobs safe tells us that they are indeed planning on a change. Hearing all the outside noise would instantly make them shut it down if they came out and publicly backed him but they haven’t. Which says they could indeed make a change. But the sooner the better. By next week everyone’s back in training. Maybe the end of this week could be when they hold a meeting with ETH face to face when he’s back of holiday.
No matter what the club say, the rumours won't die if the results don't improve. And those who want the manager gone will ramp up their anger at the owners if they back him. If people have wound themselves into hysteria it's not the club's job to talk them down.Maybe. But surely they want to put all the speculation to bed 1 way or another. Either back him or sack him. That way the rumours die down
I think it encompasses everything when results have been like this for 14 months consistently in the Premier League.It encompasses a bit more than just looking at the results. They will focus on things that need improving. Some of these are obvious (scoring goals), most are not.
BTW your numbers aren’t what I’m seeing; we are 9th in xG.

Whilst I don’t think Relegation is a thing especially after only 7 Pl Games what we must accept that ETH has spent nearly £600m and his team with his unproven Premier League Players seem to be in huge decline every season. After 83 PL games, ETH should have worked out how to get the most out of his squad and how to get the required 2 points per Game and 2 Goals per Game that this huge investment should merit in 2024/25 season.Relegated? Don't talk shite.
Yes, it's weird to criticise Ten Hag for transfers this window unless he's spearheaded the recruitment.
Ok, no good in any case.We're 12th on understat.
And with the exception of West Ham, the other 5 teams with a worse xGA than us are all relegation candidates. Ipswich, Leicester, Southampton, Wolves and Everton.I think it encompasses everything when results have been like this for 14 months consistently in the Premier League.

Understat has us 12th in xG. This is the data set what is used by Data Analytics in the game.
Guys give up, he's not getting the sack. We're stuck with him till the end of the season
@TheReligion didn't appreciate me saying thatIf we peak him and then lose to Brentford that would be peak comedy.
I'll want us to win but I'll be bursting myself laughing if we dont
Very close to being officially INEOS out for this in the same way I was Erik out after Anfield
Do you release a statement on headed paper or get your team to announce on socials?Very close to being officially INEOS out for this in the same way I was Erik out after Anfield
He was already INEOS out I think, just not officially.Ineos out as soon as you don't agree with one of their decisions?
Would it really be that surprising? I think we have basically accepted that we are fine losing football games, we don’t care about it as long as we can make Erik feel comfortable in his job.If we keep him and then lose to Brentford that would be peak comedy.

Which won’t change a thing because we already know we are going to be bad against good teams. We could lose 3-0 to Chelsea at OT and 7-0 at Arsenal and it’d be just another day at the office.The worst part is he will be cockier than ever now, maybe Palmer has another of those goal rushes on Nov 3 or Arsenal batter us at Emirates
