I guess. However, the decision to sack LVG after the FA cup win was criticised widely. This one is not going much better at the moment.
And did we perform like a CL club? feck no we did not. We performed like first timers.
Of course we're still a Champions League club, we might not be in it next season due to being poorly managed but I expect we'll back in the season after.
Champions League clubs qualify for it consistently and don't get dumped out in the group stages.
Some people suspected it for reasons I don't know and called him/them out on it, I'm not sure if the details. But SEG (the agency) threatened to instruct their lawyers if these guys continued to talk about it on twitter. Or something to that extent. Was a bit suspect.
I think you're right in a way, but it's surprising to see how many times we've actuality finished 2nd, 3rd or 4th in the last 5 or 6 years. We're still in the CL more than not, and I think that will be INEOS expectations at the very least. But this issue is contractual, and from the outside looking in, it's been apparent that no CL football has been the trigger for sacking managers. So I'd expect the clause relates to that, if there is one as reported.
I am probably a little jaded because Thursday/Sunday football sucks and it feels like we've had more of that in the last 10 years.
He'll be okay but it's a shit look for United in terms of looking like a place you'd want to go and manage, if this is how Ineos behave.
Well no not when we don't qualify for it we're not. Hence why it usually results in the manager losing their job.
When you add that to the league performance, it paints quite the picture of just how bad we've been this season.
Our last manager got sacked because it looked like we weren't qualifying foe the CL. Ten Hag probably would have been sacked in December also if not for the takeover process resulting in a changeover of power and an interim CEO.
Whatever happened to the quality control on the forum? I always assumed stuff like ‘Muppetiers’ (cringe!) weren’t permitted?
For me it's consistency. Qualify for four out of five CL campaigns and we'd all agree that's a CL club. Slip to two or three out of five and it's debatable.
We looked really naive in the group stage. Worse than the mid 90s.
Yeah I don't disagree. I thought he'd be gone in late November but the takeover obviously got in the way of football operations.
Well as a general rule of thumb, I tend to assume the media know pretty much nothing (bar a couple) and use our name for clicks. Usually works out fine.
He was really sacked because he won feck all, and the players had enough of him.
We're not far off. But I get what you're saying mate. We should be in the CL every year, with the resources we have and the money we spend on fees/wages. There's really no excuse.
Hey that's better than I remember but you get it, we should be perennials in that competition and we're not quite hitting that target so it's hard for me to confidently claim we're a Champions League club.
The noise has been going on since before the cup final ffs. It’s ridiculous the way it’s been handled.
I want him to stay. I do think this is just a bad season and not the standard or style we will see going forward if he is given the time.
On Mbappe. Reliable.Rumour is....
It's not Madrid
Certainly not United
Noisy Neighbors?
Are you? Surprised.
Clickbaiting bastards.
I don't think so.
At any other big club the manager would very likely have been fired mid season. Ten Hag got to finish the season, and got to collect a significant trophy along the way, and gets to leave with his head held high. That is honestly more than he could have expected. It's not a 'shit look' for United, the club is acting in a very dignified manner. There is no way he can feel hard done by if he is replaced now considering what he delivered over the season, and if he actually thinks the club owes him anything more he'd need to check his own attitude.
That was a rumour coming from I show speed
it's not from my people they knows nothing about Madrid mbappe or anything like that.Tough love though
A review.
Killing our planet.
Then what were they doing up until now? Is it a policy at the club that we never go into the summer prepared?
If ETH is smart, he demanded a contract extension or he quits, then turned phone off while on holidays.
Day's not yet over to be fair.
You’d think they were studying theoretical physics in this review considering it’s well into the second week and they still haven’t finished enough to make a decision on the manager.
