Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

[Judas]

How do people know he is on holiday? if he is surely thats info tbat would never be reported anywhere.

Didn't he literally say he was going on holiday?

 

[arnoldS]

He said it himself after the final?

There have been a lot of reports he left for a holiday after the FA Cup final.

Did he say when or for how long?

 

[dedek_mraz]

This is never the case. Most clubs do the majority of their business in the later parts of the window.

Nope. Its quite literally the case regards to Benjamin Šeško for example. Has offers from United, Chelsea and Arsenal (and improved Lepzig offer) on the table and wants to decide before the Euros. Do you not think the fact that our manager position is unresolved will carry some weight in his decision? You can point to the fact that under INEOS recruitment is independent of the manager but players are not robots ..

Why are people expecting an announcement of some sort? Because some Italian clickbait journalist posted some crap?

The FA Cup was over a week ago, he might be back now

I'd be sceptical of any reports like the Sesko rumours to be honest. A young, raw striker is clearly not a priority for us - feel like our name is being used which more often than not is the case with rumours.

Not to derail the debate but reports of our interest are true and confirmed by the players agent last week (also his agent was at Old Trafford at least 3 times this year). And even if not true it doesnt matter for my argument's sake, it serves as a n example of a likely scenario. Can well replace Šeško's name with Olise or others..

If your issue is with transfer targets then your issue is with Newcastle and Ashworth's gardening leave, rather than the length of time it is taken to complete the review and deciding on Ten Hag's future.

Where's this then? All I can find it this in the MEN where he specifically avoids mentioning clubs by name: https://www.manchestereveningnews.c.../there-interest-benjamin-sesko-agent-29210603

Anyone else feel sorry for ten hag if we sack him now? We've cost him the Bayern job.

I don't think Bayern would have chosen Kompany with ten Hag available.

The Bayern gig will be up again by Christmas. He'll enjoy a few months off.

 

[Sarni]

I think he will do amazingly with the structure.

 

[Red Royal]

The more this drags on, the more I just feel there may not be any kind of announcement (I.e. EtH stays but quietly). INEOS then look like they don't have to respond to every bit of idle (Guardian reporter) gossip.

Saying he stays now looks like they took way to long/not confident saxking him leads to why did we waste weeks of the summer.

Certainly one of the major cons hanging over him has been his transfer targets, taking that responsibility from him would be a positive step.

The journalists will definitely report that he's staying if they get any type of confirmation from the club or their sources. They have been making up stories to fill their column space over the past couple weeks.

I really wonder why some fans fail to understand this. Reminds me of the sack Fergie sell Ronaldo brigade of the mid 2000s.

No no no, the structure will be there to serve him and deliver him his targets.

Ok, lets say "all but confirmed it" to be precise. Its from the original interview that the MEN are reffering to. Its all in Slovenian but in the video at around 9 minute mark the reporter says that hes hearing that the interested sides are United and Arsenal from England and some Italian sides and asks the agent which destination is more likely to which agent says that he doubts Italians can afford the player. This coupled with reports from Romano.

They might keep him on holiday until pre-season to prevent him trying to have any say on transfers.

Not sure he will name players, more the positions needed and the club might not necessarily agree on the positions if they think we need strengthening elsewhere.

And send unsolicited d*ck pics.

So basically SJR is scared to make a decision.

Do you really think a multi billionaire is afraid to make a decision?

No which is why it doesn't make sense? Looks like reporters are just making things up, they haven't got someone feeding them information anymore from inside.

 

[The Firestarter]

When no leaks , make shit up.

 

[DJ_21]

Do you think Ten Hag can win the league in the next 2-3 seasons?

Yes I honestly do. Because guardiola would have left end of next season which will put us in a better position since all the other clubs will be rebuilding with new managers etc.

 

[Pexbo]

Regardless of ETH going or staying this has been a circus.

Outside of this forum or even this thread can you point to where it’s become a circus? Literally nobody is talking about it bar the life journo claiming to know what the process is - which seems thorough and measured and not knee jerking in any way, nor public. The only circus is hysterical fans crying because he hasn’t been sacked yet.

 

[DJ_21]

Right, but we're not rebuilding. This is the completed build under Ten Hag, I think people don't get that.

What 2 proper windows is a complete rebuild? Considering what he had to deal with and take over.

 

[DJ_21]

So much for being proactive and being a good businessman who makes good decisions.

This is very obviously entirely made up speculation and bullshit.

He deserves at least two more summer transfer windows. And then another two just to be safe.

 

[mythz]

This is a joke . Should got sacked long time ago .

Strange isn't it that a Man Utd forum, and specifically a thread dedicated to ETH and his future should have such a focus, I came here to discuss my dahlias and was disappointed!

I watch Sky sports news and listen to Talk sport, not constantly but I probably catch up to a couple of hours combined a day.... I would say they are probably the 2 biggest publishers of sports journalism in the UK, I can hand on heart say that whilst ETHs future is not the only topic, it is discussed everyday

 

[astracrazy]

Yes. That was then copied by everyone, and since all backed down on this. EtH out gang just can't see it for what it is/was.

Apparently there has to be some big announcement to undermind the manager they have decided not to sack, telling us all that a manager who is under contract and by default will be our manager next season, will be our manager next season.

 

[romufc]

Is it? I guess you mis interpreted the word rebuild.

I will give you an analogy.

If my roof is leaking into the ceiling underneath, putting new plasterboard and paint is not rebuild, that's a temporary solution, because the leak will eventually trickle through that.

This is what is happening at United. To rebuild you first have to get rid of players you dont need / suit. AWB, Lindelof, Maguire, McTominay, Martial, Sancho, Rashford. Then you replace those with players that suit.

Instead, at United we go get Amrabat, Evans, Sabitzer, Weghorst just to cover because we dont have the ability to sell.

 

[devilish]

I was possibly the most anti INEOS in this forum and they are far from perfect. However they aren't cowards, quite the contrary. They are actually quite trigger happy. Ratcliffe wealth is built around turning failing businesses into success and that was achieved by challenging everything that business represented and shape it into success.

Bingo.
