We must keep him, he must be given a season where he can pick anything that resembles a first team, and under real footballing people. There isn’t one manager that would have faired any better. I just know he’s an elite manager and we will regret it if we let him go without another season.
Keep Him

Besides the cup we won today.
There's a genuine chance we'll be relegated if we keep him.
Actually disagree with this too. He’s a bargain at his price!
It was a dogged performance, but over the match they had us pinned back for long periods and we were desperately booting it clear to nobody. This isnt sustainable football over a season and because it was the FA cup they all put a shift in. I would still move him on.
Clearly my attempt at satire hasn't worked.
Its Man City, the best team in the world right now.
You set up to win, and he did that. We can't get 70% possession against a City, show me any teams that can peg City back.
We're too emotional as a fanbase, we really are. Just enjoy the cup win lads and stop jumping to reactionary conclusions.
Worst PL finish ever. Antony. Onana.
Go win trophies elsewhere and thanks for today.

Typical caf being kneejerk and wanting him to stay. Most of you have the memories of goldfish.
I just do not think the solution is to keep changing manager. Keep ETH and let him build the team over time. Patience.
Maybe it’s best to let the players decide at this point.
Let us have today without another Ten Hag in/out thread ffs.
Exactly, seems more akin to a new manager bounce than playing for the manager.
Watch our last couple of months again if in doubt.
apologies!Sticking with a failing manager just for the sake of it isn't the solution either.
That can easily be read both ways. Might have just been pissed at all of those rumours coming out 24 hours before the final? I would be too.
Did you say the same thing a year ago about ETH?
Has to go, crazy how opinions can change so quickly.
50/50
unserious fanbase
Our two trips to Wembley involved a legitimately good win against the best side in world football and sneaking a penalty shootout win past a second tier team when we were 3-0 up at the 70th minute mark in normal time and were millimetres from losing in extra time.
Two wildly different performances that shows the chaotic unpredictable nature of our team under him.

I’ve felt bad for being ETH out recently, with the rumours the past two days and now winning the cup.
But the fact is we have way underperformed. We’ve been unlucky with injuries but that excuse only takes you so far. It doesn’t explain many of the terrible performances we’ve had. Or some of the ways we’ve set up tactically. Or the subs.
I’m glad he’s going out on a high but if we have plans to get back to the top, I don’t think Erik is the man to take us there. It’s like sacking Ole, it’s not personal but it’s required

Been ETH in. Today changed to ETH out when I saw he started rashford. But I say keep him. Get rid of Rashford, Sancho that alone should be £120m and huge amount saved in wages.
No and the reason is can anyone with any certainty have any confidence that he won't choose silly tactics again next season?
He went into the season thinking he could play a Casemiro, Mount and Bruno midfield (or whoever was fit) in those suicidal tactics and doubled down on it despite injuries at CB.
He made so many silly decisions across the season. Mount as a CM, playing AWB at LB and Dalot RB, not playing Varane because he wanted a LCB, choosing Casemiro at CB despite being awful. I could really go on.

feck no
FFS. A post straight from Billy Smart's circus if ever I've seen one.
Why would I? He wasn't failing this badly a year ago.
And please mate for the love of god don't make me read some shite about Fergie in the 80's.
Let's face it, if you're Ineos and you're watching it, you're happy that we got the win but ultimately you're wishing we could resemble something like City. Even against the fodder of the league we've not been so dominant.
He deserves to go - but it will be hard to sack him after that display.
I don’t really understand this take, because one of our most obvious issues this season has specifically been our coaching, or lack thereof. He hasn’t been able to get any sort of consistent tune out of our defence, midfield, or attack. And surely that aspect largely comes down to the coaching? Even despite the injuries, other managers with lesser squads with lesser players have been able to put out functional playing styles compared to our suicidal no midfield chaos ball.
That’s fair. It’s the people changing their stance due to one game I’m criticizing.
Yeah I agree. We've got some amazing players and I don't think any manager could get us relegated. But there's many managers who could have us looking a lot better.
Lineker and Shearer can go feck themselves the irrelevant cnuts. Drilling about whether the guy will be sacked minutes after lifting the trophy, condescending 'hope to see you next seasons'. Feck off, pricks.
I've always liked ETH, and after today my heart obviously says give him another season. I think my head still says let's move on, but I don't know.

Pretty sure they'll have already told him. It's actually the perfect way for him to go and is the whole reason they likely let him have the final, to go out on a high. Job done, move on.
51% say keep. Can't wait to hear the crybabies
I'm 100% Ten Hag out but BBC were totally classless today. It was embarrassing to watch. Rooney was cringing quite a lot during their post match interview with Ten Hag.
Nothing to cry about as he will be gone this time next week.
I'm back to wanting him to stay. If we don't look significantly different by November, sack him. The big problem is we have no idea who would be available at that time.
The wingers moaned at the poll throughout the season. Bit funny irrespective to be honest.
