this is the biggest problem with the whole shitshow. this normalising of what once would have been major crisis moments.
No it doesn’t stop being hysterical.
Yeah they certainly did, trying to think of when our biggest rivals last threw away season by keeping manager
I feel for you. It's horrible having to watch managers you don't like/rate stink the place out.
I was the same with Mourinho and Ole for months before they were sacked. While Mourinho's time became toxic after Sevilla, I just never bought into Ole. I never wanted him to get the job.
ten Hag has been by far the most disappointing of the lot though. Nearly everyone was optimistic when he was hired. Although his comments about Overmars (around the time we announced him as manager in April 2022), didn't sit well with me. Turns out he's not a nice guy at all. He doubled down on it this year.
Nothing hysterical just can't be bothered whilst he remains manager, simple as that really. Pretty certain I will feel nothing if they do see sense in May as far too late to put right their previous mistakes then.
As much as we'd like an immediate decision, it doesn't really make any difference if they announce something yesterday, today or the end of the week. For all we know they might have decided to give him the boot but they're sorting out what comes next before confirming it. If he turns up to training next week then I'll be just as frustrated but it's pointless to have a meltdown about it now.
How does a manager command the respect of his players when his ability to manage the team has been questioned repeatedly by the club for good reason? Yes, he may have survived each inquest, but it seems to be that the players have lost faith in him and his style of play.
INEOS have made a nightmarish decision to keep him on - if that is indeed the case

Yep, the standards are in the fecking mud! We’re now at the stage where you can sit in 14th with a negative goal difference and still seemingly keep your job.
They wont learn from this. Never do.
Yeah you have absolutely nailed it with this post
Somehow I can’t see Rene GenericDutchman staying if Ten Hag leaves. He reeks of a Ten Hag incoming.
Ah yes didn't we hammer the Toy Story puppet for saying something very similar to that
If only that was true. Your hate has energised you into being quite bothered and definitely approaching hysterical. None of your posts say anything except reiterate how much you hate the club currently.
Not bothered if they do because would serve INEOS right for backing the wrong horse TWICE
I have an intense dislike for how it's run would be a better way of putting it. I always believed this club had very high standards, however clearly I was very wrong
If we stick to Erik, we could be anywhere from 10-17. I don't even think we can rank higher than 10. Strikers sucks, we need 37 yo Johnny to steady defense, ill discipline across midfield and defense due to tactic and frustration. Seriously what is the point of keeping?! Do Ineos think we will start scoring after the international? What if a few players comes back injured? I am sure Erik will start looking for excuses. Erik is the worst manager that I have seen in 30-40 years from signings to tactics to personality to excuses. It never seems to be his fault even though we spend close to 600 million.
Maybe look for a club that meet your expectations? You'd be a much happier bunny.
From someone I know who is a journalist (sports but for a business news type of place), they've asked their contacts at United and INEOS and not got push back when asked if he is gone yet. Obviously not a confirmation in any form but just found it interesting
ETH now reportedly convinced he's going to stay on. Honestly, whatever incompetence has happened over the past 11 years regarding ownership, this surely must take the biscuit.
It's bonkers that some actually expected one.
This is an obvious but important point. Yes, there are plenty of games yet to be played this season but we're almost at the point already where it's pointless to continue engaging with the club if they stick with ETH, a manager who has his squad -- which I believe is flush with 600m of new buys -- playing a worse brand of football than what he inherited and shows no willingness to learn from his mistakes.
It's one zombie performance after another, maybe getting lucky to nab a draw but never looking like a winner.
This argument doesn't make sense it's not the same set of players.
I think that Ten Hag should be sacked.
Yeah I definitely got fooled by INEOS, thought they had the club's best interests at heart
Who's downing tools, exactly? From my eye they're all trying, but the tactics are so fecking diabolical that their best efforts can't even amount to anything.
Ten Hags weird and deluded though.
Remember "I'll go and win trophies somewhere else"? He's a legend in his own mind.
And they don't?
Nope not convinced they do by keeping Erik
He should be but I don't think he will.
I’m clinging onto the faint hope that no news is good news.
Normally when he’s under the cosh, there’s a brief to journos that his job is safe. Nothing this time except stone cold silence.
Hopefully they’ve flown out to Ibiza to deliver the news personally before making an announcement.

Would be surprised if Sam got this wrong, given supposed links between fan channel and Ten Hag’s agency.
So the rumours about Big Jim being a Chelsea fan are true and he spent all that dosh to feck us up? You should make an official statement if that's the case.
I think that is bad.
Unless they are tired of the media noise and they will just have the new boss on the bench at the next game. Probably already taking training.
Yep, he will most certainly turn it around and have us finish 10th.
The damage this guy is doing to our club will just about finish us.
Yeah, I don't think Ineos are overly bothered with United on field this season. I think they want to focus purely on other aspects of the club.
Next season is where its at.
Quality control
Brent and his cronies can all throw a party, I feel really sorry for Yoro who picked us over Real thinking it was an interesting project. Poor guy has been absolutely conned by Ten Hag and INEOS
"Next year is our year."
