Dramatic much?
Dude, he'll be sacked within 3 games if they are all defeats. Chill out.
Then they'll say he might get sacked after the next game, and so on. In reality they don't have a clue.
I think it's much more likely that after failing to get one of their main targets in the summer they decided to double down on Ten Hag and don't want to be seen as stupid for doing so by reacting to a small number of games. I don't think there's some grand plan that we are yet to see come to fruition.
Why are some posters so obsessed with me not wanting to sack Ten Hag? These replies are the toxicity that mods referred to.I bet they told you you're spot on about Ten Hag too and how we need to keep him no matter what
It's easier but like I said, lose some of them and they suddenly become tricky and we could not have done any better. Just like Palace game is tricky now, despite them being winless in 7 games.
What evidence are you expecting at this stage? They haven't even been at the club for a year. They clearly strongly considered booting him in the summer even though their actual footballing management structure was not fully in place at the time. Then when they don't sack him at their first opportunity after that - 7 games into the season - you take that as evidence that he will never be sacked and has some kind of highly influential role over and above that of manager/head coach? Why on earth would they have been very publicly tapping up other managers if they though he was that good?
I never said Palace is tricky, just that they are a stubborn side at home that was sandwiched between the tricky ones.
And yet you'd back them to get 6 points from those 3 games. Throw Spurs at home in there and you'd back them to get 9...
Right and I said a lot of posts ago that we should have taken more points irrespective of the run in the first 7.
What am I excusing? This is getting too much. I'm not excusing shit. I literally said that we should have picked up points.
So what, or are people not allowed to have different opinions from the majority without being castigated or insulted for it? Or have the freedom to change their stance?
I haven't laughed that much in a while. Brilliant!
You talk about logic, but you aren't actually displaying any. Just because, for whatever reason, Ineos gave him the benefit of the doubt in the summer does not - logically - infer that they still think he's the bees knees, or even that they thought that at the time. Logic suggests that they are highly doubtful about him given that we know they have sounded out multiple managers, and given Ratcliffe's distinct lack of public backing for Ten Hag when specifically asked about him. I agree that the list of possible replacements has dwindled, and I also agree that in an ideal world they would have pulled the trigger during this last week - but I genuinely doubt that they are satisfied with the current situation and are prepared for that to continue. United do tend to have an infuriating tendency to stick with managers till the bitter end, but often the situation becomes obviously untenable for all concerned - like I say that point could come at the weekend. If he does manage to keep limping on until the next international break doing just enough but not showing a marked improvement then my guess is they will sack him then.
I took a few days of posting less on this thread because of the toxicity. What you've done is literally pick on me because you've taken posts where I am not excusing the manager, just talking about a fixture list. I've explicitly stated we should have picked up more in spite of a trickier set, and you have tried to tie in my view on back/sack and create a narrative that is irrelevant to what I posted about.
