Either the players have been ignoring the plan (whatever that means)

The "plan" is not working

No the 'Noise' ie the speculation surrounding his job is stemming from his teams dogshit performances and results.
About improving the attack, he actually said "the players do well" and "we won last season, maybe you forgot"
He actually is deluded, isn't he.
He actually is deluded, isn't he.
This time he said we have to climb a mountain.
Why don’t these journalists ever ask him what the feck “the plan” actually is?
Yeah, because of injuries.This time he said we have to climb a mountain.
I asked that too.
He's so predictable that I can probably guess what his answer would be. Something like "The plan is to stick together and to focus on the objective of this club"
Stick together as a group. Transitions. Process. Big club.
Can you imagine how boring his team talks and training ground talks must be. They have to hear this bollocks all the time.

Ten hag is annoying now me now as much as LVG with the utter bollox that comes out of his mouth.

Yeah they are definitely on a par for pointless shite coming out of their mouths.
I'm getting to similar boredom levels with them now as well
It’s his performance as manager that is causing the pressure, I don’t think it is really an agenda from the press when he is doing such a bad job. He’d have been sacked a lot of other clubs so media are just acting as you would expect.
We have no real idea of how much pressure he is under and managers often don’t really know how close they are to being sacked until it actually happens. Despite his comments I am sure he isn’t really naive enough to actually believe his job is that secure.
His press conferences are almost darkly comical at this point. I don't think I've ever seen such a petty "top level" manager before.
His accent comically turning ordinary words such as "shared" and "third" into sounding like swear words.
Let's hope that we are indeed "entering the final "turd"", and ten Hag will soon be gone.

How about getting a new manager when we're not really set up well to select someone, which was the case in the summer, then needing to make another managerial change?
The way I see it, it's better to wait, let the new guys sit in their desks for a while and then make a better decision rather than bring someone in for the sake of it.
What else is new?
I can't stand this tosspot. Surely Ineos find his comments equally as grating as we do.

From his point of view last season was an immense success. We just need to accept that he’s genuinely happy with that and we are more than happy with him.
There is rarely an idea time or scenario to select a manager, they made a mess of it and are now paying the price.
If anything we kept our manager for the sake of it, bringing in someone else would not have been for the sake of it. They chose to go with a manager who was very likely to be favourite for the sack very quickly and who has little credit with players, fans and media.
INEOS could start from scratch, ETH couldn’t and when he almost inevitably carried on as usual it’s straight into a crisis that was as predictable as it was avoidable.
They made a big mistake in the summer, now they need to own the responsibility and consequences of it. Mistakes are going to be made but it’s about getting enough right and correcting mistakes quickly.

What I’ve been saying for a long time. He’s got one of the safest jobs in the league and we are happy with him.
Incredible.This time he said we have to climb a mountain.
I've thought some of our previous managers needed to go before, but never disliked any of them the way I dislike this guy. You can see the arrogance in him.
Thanks for the laugh, needed that. Great point.
He's a spoofer, but he's our spoofer.
£600m on 21 players, many Dutch and/or handpicked by EtH equals an all in.
They can't sack him now.
They can't sack him now.
I'd much rather he was someone else's spoofer though.
Same here, not quite there yet but getting close
The media couldn't print speculation about his job if his team weren't in relegation form. They haven't just made everything up out of this air, whether or not they've told him figures at the club will be thinking about changing manager.
He could actually have been a bit humble and say that he understands that there is speculation about his job with the current form.
These conferences make me chuckle.
The ‘big’ football ‘journalists’ asking Erik bland, non-specific, questions that allow to respond in a very bland, non-specific, way.
Must be a great way to make a living!

He could also have gone on the offensive and asked the journalists if they think they’re doing such a great job!
In my opinion, he should have stood up and thrown his shoe at the reporter and then shown 2 fingers, representing the 2 big trophies we've won under his management, while yelling "respect!".
You think they're saving the goodies for the post-match presser or will we hear "we need to keep working hard".
I believe he does think that draws are good, but still can't understand the league position.
You mean after all these signings and games and all this talk of a plan there is isn’t an actual plan.
He may not be a football manager to the standard we demand but my god which his rhetoric he’ll make a damn fine politician.
Score predictions for tomorrow say most people think we'll get the job done. Definite divide there between the views of the majority and the tunnel-visioned pessimism that threads like this cultivate.
Always hilarious to see people whine about media negativity. You want less negativity? Then start winning games.
What you drinking? Come on you’re on the Toilet Duck again aren’t you?
He said that last season was successful. What happened to standards?
If Real Madrid got 8 place and won Copa del Rey, would that be successful?

No chance he admits there's anything wrong!
