You're right he's going nowhere. But if this is the players 'supporting him' I'd hate (even more) to see see their performances when they don't.
Pretty sure the directors are disgusted with his performance too.

Indeed. No argument there, we are performing poorly.
League form is the bread and butter measurement of where we are at as a team. Not cups. They’re knockout contests which rely on luck as much as anything. Nice to win for sure but league is the true measurement and we’re not in a good place
I'm trying to find the exact one I'm referring to but it's buried amongst a lot of other articles at this stage. Like I said, he was asked about fans not being happy and said they listen to the media. Similar to this sentiment below from after the Coventry game...

A bit hard to understand his point in the above one and whether he's taking aim at some fans or not.
So you would take:
A - a repeat of last season, or
B - a season of watching good football week in week out with no trophy?
I’d take a cup and a gradual improvement in league form.
He seems to believe that if he repeats this mantra it will somehow make people believe him..
Not answering the question then. If we can't win the PL the next best thing is to get closer to being competitive. Domestic cups do nothing to achieve that.
It does when it is the only way to get into Europe
Would I regret staying up well past midnight to watch it here in Australia? Hmmm
Being competitive and cup wins having nothing to do with each other?
I'd gladly give back the FA Cup and the League Cup if I went could have a good manager making us a good team instead.
From the discussion, a lot of it has veered into if he will be sacked, rather than if he should be sacked. It’s almost like we need two polls, or splitting of this poll into five options. We need to cover what people want, and what they think will happen
- Should and will be sacked before the end of the season
- Should be sacked before the end of the season, but won’t
- He shouldn’t be sacked before the end of the season but will be
- He shouldn’t be sacked before the end of the season, and won’t be
- Nothing matters/I don’t know/I don’t care
If you don't have enough regret in your life for living in that spider infested firepit then, sure, top it up by watching us play football.
Being competitive and cup wins having nothing to do with each other?
That poster was very clearly talking about being competitive in the Premier League.
Winning the FA Cup clearly does nothing to make us competitive in the league does it?
Haven’t seen a ETH Utd team attack like Ange’s Spurs today against West Ham. The coaching is another level.
Locked in a room full of tarantulas or a room full of TV's playing a stream of us haplessly piss around at the back until our attackers flick the ball into a defender?
Close call.
It's tricky. A web of spider jizz or a web of Ten Hag lies?
To me there’s no question he’s getting sacked.
It just comes down as to why INEOS is delaying the inevitable.
That has to be league only (or is simply wrong). In all comps, only Mourinho is better while Ole and ETH are virtually tied in second place (ETH is fractionally ahead but a loss today moves Ole ahead). LVG is fourth with Moyes last.
Spurs cruising past their opponents, while we stick with this joker.
Sad day when you watch Spurs for some football enjoyment. Could we draft Ange in for one game?
I don't really get this. If you weren't here posting when they collapsed a 2 nil lead in their last game then this type of post is just way too shallow.
I like postecoglu and spurs show more style than us but his results are overall a shade worse than ten hags and had they lost today there'd have been sacking talk.
Its a strange post on its own like this - seems emotional or something
Did you watch the match ? The first half? Posts without actual context isn't worth responding.
I don’t know, let’s see where we are in May?
Regardless, it's true. When is the last time we scored 4 goals in the league?
No, I didn't watch it in fairness.
Probably because for all of their faults, they are often very nice to watch.
Haven’t been able to say the same for us for 5 years
Well we were reigning champions in a domestic trophy last season, did that make us competitive in the league?
We have started off again with our worst ever Premier League start this season too.
We are trending downwards so it doesn't seem winning domestic trophies is doing piss all to help our league form or European form for that matter. Things that a Man Utd manager should actually be judged on.
B would constitute some progress
Better option is to
take good football and trophies.
Out of those 2 options I’ll take progression to playing good football. By doing so consistently, trophies will follow anyway.
That doesn’t seem possible under this manager.
That seems like a separate point to me. And one I don't disagree with. I just see no sense it being so reactive to a good spurs result if you're also just ignoring their awful collapse and poor results
I don't disagree with this. I just don't see the point in these races to react to anything positive at a rival club if we're also just ignoring failings there. It reminds me of the sancho thread which erupts with any simple assist and is quiet after average showings.
Its like wilfully driving oneself mad
Nothing has changed and we look so poor. Not sure what Ineos expected to see except for a miracle
Yeh win, lose or draw it's just not enough. We are basically on par with teams like Brentford and Fulham. Obviously Brentford are a decent team and these are the types of performances you'd expect in his first season, but to be at this level and having every game be a coin toss after 3 seasons and the amount of money spent is just ridiculous
Trust the process etc
Trust the process etc
We're the second lowest scoring team in Europe's top 5 leagues. Only Lecce have scored less.
Shaw is out innit
