Erik ten Hag | Currently unemployed
- Thread starter Panther
- Start date
Given @MvG hasn't been on the forum a year and was promoted in September, I'm assuming it was a joke.
(If not, I'll join the eyerolling.)
Yes, it’s one of Pep Guardiola is my idol or Eriky or Haggy.
Murtough was not the Football Director in 2019.
Small correction, Murtough was appointed in March 2021.
You can see below the latest structure, as per The Athletic
Break ten Hag's phone
Where does Ronaldo go to though if he leaves us? Who’s gonna pay his wages, the only team I can think of is psg but just can not see messi and Ronaldo in the same team… unless mbappe leaves. If Ronaldo leaves we will need at least 2 strikers, right wing, DM + CB. Wonder if ten Hag gives martial a chance next season, he’ll bin him of in January though when he realises how lazy he is and won’t fit into his high press system.
No because he did a really good job with Dortmund and has done an equally good job at Liverpool. Ole hasn't outperformed his resources at any point so far in his managerial career. Thats what the very best managers do. Ole wasn't top tier in any area of management while he was at United and I think in a few years when he isn't offered another top job, some of the people defending him might have to start asking themselves why...
Why is someone who managed at one of the biggest clubs in the world for 3 years not getting lots of offers from lesser clubs.
By what metric.
Trophies?
Style of football?
Wasted money?
Its hard to see that he has been the best in any area.
Agree 100%.
Loads of the players who need to go are going to go anyway within 18 months because contracts are expiring. It's not that big a job.
Plus people are talking like Klopp and Guardiola are both going to be in situ forever, whereas both are likely to be gone by 2024. That makes it a much more level playing field.
That's highly debatable.
League performance
Has United been top tier in anything in the last 10 years?
You also started talking about trash management in relation to getting relegated. I addressed that.
Ole did quite well with us considering the circumstances and was making progress season after season. Until something happened this summer. I'll leave you to ponder what that was.
Good post.
Man utd will pay up his contract and allow him to leave? Or maybe he'll be on the bench.
If you ignore the trophies who has been more successful than Ole?
Why are we ignoring trophies?
History books don't remember 2nd place finishes.
They remember trophies won.
Thats horseshit. Jose Mourinho was the most successful manager post Fergie. 2nd place plus won the Europa league and EFL cup. I didn't see Ole lift up any trophies.
Oh my God. Success is measured by trophies. And also by the way Jose Mourinho also finished 2nd with 80 odd points. No one remembers the team who finished a distant 2nd
Is it debatable? Ole failed to do what Jose and LVG did and put trophies into the cabinet.

Win % it’s Jose even ignoring his trophies.
Yeah Ole was 100% not more successful than Jose. Just because it seemed like we were happier doesn’t mean we were better. Even LVG got us a cup. Jose finished an uncompetetive 2nd, as did Ole. But Jose won the europa league, Ole lost the final.
Poch?
I hope Ten Hag doesn't trot out the Ole line about a trophy and a coach's ego. Also, he should avoid words, such as DNA, culture, etc.
If my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike.
What about Boss Hag?
Also, if your grandmother had wheels, Ole would be behind them.
Unsavoury can have many meanings here . Did the zebra think the fan was a rival or did he think the fan was on heat and open to mate?
I won't be surprised if the media department at the club coach him to use a few of these words during his first presser or interview on MUTV. This type of shit still resonates with a lot of united supporters

Whatever the words, ultimately, I would like him to stick to football, not pseudo-psychology or marketing mantra. I think he is smart enough to navigate through the mess ahead.
The image of Ole behind my grandmother would be traumatising if I had one.
Bollox. Jose reached 81 points something Ole could only dreamt of
Ten haggard seems like a nice nickname after he encounters the team.
If you ignore winrate and transfer failures who has been the most successful ?
That was our best season in the league since Fergie's departure and Mourinho said it was a miracle he pulled it off. He was right
