Yeah but he was a bluffer or something…

Yes but it was the only thing he did. Well, that and make us play 4-2-2-2...
Alright don't handle things internally. Let everyone talk to the media after every game. I can't get why people don't get the advantages of not airing our dirty laundry in public. Media is pretty much happy to go on and on about us now. Every bad performance is going to put more spotlight on EtH and players now. It's not going to end well.
No one’s fecking doing that? Why does it have to be this binary? He’s obviously sick of his shit and nothing is working and people are rightly asking where the feck the £80m player is if he’s not injured.
The man works for Manchester United, all he needed to do was send an actual message in email to murough or whoever else that its time up for Sancho.
Just because they ask doesn't mean EtH has to answer them.
And you don't think that contradicts your previous comment about making the media go on and on? You don't think that would create more media speculation than this? At least it's done now, no ones going to keep asking week in and week out where his is. It was the best solution in that regard.
They can see him training! He keeps coming on as a sub! Can’t you see he’s burned his bridges? He has to earn the trust back instead of presuming people are going to keep covering for him.
What he really means is he’s taking this personal because a manager did this to him once and he also didn’t take it well, just like Sancho.
You've watched the video?
He’s most likely done that already, the club are reluctant to sell players and move on. There’s no issue with what the manager has done, club signed Sancho knowing what he was like and Sancho hasn’t taken on board previous experiences. That’s where the problems lie, whether it’s made public or not doesn’t change the real issues.
Long story short on this Friday afternoon, there are three people in here who are as soft as a chocolate teapot.
I watched a clip at the time.
Rant, honesty, whatever you want to call it. It made the media very happy because they got more than what they wanted.
Now ETH went on a rant
A two sentence reply is a rant now. Ok.
I've got a question for those who think that ETH shouldn't have commented on Sancho being dropped due to a lack of performance: why do you guys want ETH to publicly lie about Pellistri's performance (assuming he was the one included instead, if it was someone else the question is in regard to that player, that doesn't matter)?
What has poor Pellistri done that you want to degrade him like that, just to save the face of a lazy underperformer?

Now ETH went on a rant
Some bold claims here today.
EtH went on a rant.
EtH said Sancho was lazy and was drinking.
EtH said Ole was crap at his job.
It's making great reading.
Afraid he outlasts Eric. Toxic personality makes his toxic contract even worse. Hopefully there can be some compromise and the relationship can be salvaged. Simply need to get something out of the player because I don't think it'll be as easy to just move on from him.
Sure, you can just not play him but his wage and transfer fee is taking the place of a top top player. Not sure how you can compete for the highest honors with your highest earners are doing feck all.

Erik ten Rants they call him
How many sentences needed to qualify as a rant?
And media would have been silent if ETH remains silent. Some posters seem to live in an alternate reality.
A rant though? Seriously?
Rafa and his "fahcts" was a rant.
Keegan and his "I'll love it if we beat them" that was a rant.
Trapattoni at Bayern, that was a rant.
ETH answered a question calmly and to the point.
"speak or shout at length in an angry, impassioned way. "
I didn't see him get angry at all....
So you think when the media keep asking and he just says nothing the response from the media would be to write nothing? Week in, week out? Come on.
Rant: speak or shout at length in an angry, impassioned way
He wasn’t angry. He wasn’t impassioned. It wasn’t at length. It was less than 20 words saying he hadn’t performed in training at a high enough level to get in ahead of other attacking options.
You’re having a mare, mate. Take some time off.
That’s pretty neat, since he looks drunk every time he steps on the pitch.
That's what I said. Such things happen only in alternative reality. And the said posters are living in it.
I need to re read again what he said verbatim because to label what I think he said as a rant or a attack on Sancho is mental to me.
This is a useless and unnecessary reply. His post was perfectly rational because that is what most managers do.
He also punched the reporter and set fire to the Emirates on the way out.
Yes, sorry, I miss read your post.
No it wasn’t. Most managers don’t simply “phase out” 80M signings and then “refuse” to address it. I mean, not in the real world at least.
It certainly wasn't a rant.
Seems to be an element of the online support determined to turn on the manager. A real shame, as the culture at the club and with a large number of these players has proven to be rotten for too long. Sancho not the cause of the rot obviously, but he is emblematic of it.
Calm down. No need to rant.
I think if you're going to criticise a player you need to do it when your team is playing well. Fact is we haven't been, we'd just suffered a heart breaking loss. The public perception is club is a mess, no money, the much mooted sale now not as apparent, Greenwood issue, now Anthony, team not playing well and now manager is slagging off one of our most expensive buys. Might have been best in hindsight to have dealt with this in house, but it's done. If we play poorly against Brighton, the press will keep on about this, if we finally click and play well, the Sancho part will be quickly forgotten.
