He isn’t much shorter than evens which doesn’t look like a done deal at all
Poch out to 11/2 though so it is looking more promising

Viking helmets at the game if we secure this man.
It’s amazing how cheap it is to acquire managers under a contract compared to players
I hate how this club drags everything out, its so poorly run
To be fair that’s just a standard press office response to the question, and they’re never gonna say anything different until they have the deal done
It could well be complete but just waiting for right time to announce
This is what I think. I believe they've decided on their man and things will naturally drag on for a bit.
People will put lot of pressure on Ten Hag, i see many expect him to challenge for PL in his first year...if he doesn't, and ends up 4th-5th, it will be a massive let down.
Big reminder that Klopp finished 8th in his first season at Liverpool and Guardiola 4th at City.

Yup look at the pressure Ralf is getting.
Pressure is part and parcel of the game at United. But the United faithful will be patient with the next coach imo. I think most fans understand that being patient and building/recruiting towards a guiding principle will take time.
Thoughts of a Ajax fan on Erik ten Hag and the comparison with Pochettino.
I still think ETH is the smokescreen for the club to get Poch.
I want ETH and Rangnick combo to be clear.

most fans won't expect a title challenge, hardly any I would guess
the sentiment around the capabilities of our squad at the moment is at an all time low
you really think they'd still want to do this with fan sentiment currently in the toilet?
I can't see it
This is the ownership and board that have got us here in the first place. They're incompetent.
When I said plays more like playmaker is that they are used to make progressive ball towards their attackers more than their deep midfielders. You need to watch more of VVD, VVD is a better progressive passer from the back than Fabinho. Lot of Liverpool fans last season keep saying that the reason why they struggled was that they missed VVD ball playing ability.
Do you know why Pep’s team doesn’t let opposition get the ball? Because they have players who are comfortable with their feet to keep possession even under pressure. Doesn’t get panicked, which is why Yaya or Fernandinho were used as CB before. If Pep has someone who is not comfortable with their feet then his team can’t play like that and the same with ETH. Which is why I said it’s important for their system.
I am going to play it down until he's had time to put his own imprint on this team

You are right about FSG but Klopp should not be used as a comparison imo. They struck gold with him, he's a different breed of manager and there's very few like him around. That's why we need men at the top who has a clear vision and knows exactly what they want. This whole process of interviewing multiple managers, all with different approaches is a clear indicator thay they don't and a reason why I voice this opinion.
I agree with that statement but I don't think the discussion is binary
to a large extent the owners want the same as the fans - a successful team - because that makes them more money
Woody was the wrong person to have in the role, but he's gone now
since the new tenure there appears to be a willingness to give power on footballing decisions to footballing people, and acknowledgement that they didn't know what they were doing on that front
we appointed a DoF finally, and brought in Ralf - an outspoken football man who certainly isn't yer typical Glazer yes-man
finally, the Glazers are all about PR and keeping the fans on-side, because they are not morons and understand the importance of brand to the value of their investment. Doing some under-hand shit like leak stories about ETH (who the fans want) only to turn around and appoint Poch (who the fans hate), would be PR suicide at this point, coming off the back of the European league debacle and another failed manager
Yeah all playing cards very close to their chest
There are only two points separating Ajax and PSV in their league table. Even if the appointment had been decided, I doubt it will be announced before the end of the season.
Yeah people shouldn't compare announcement to Klopp or Guardiola as both of them were out of work at the time
Kind of a weird take. They arent going to throw in the towel because Erik is off. There's plenty of press talk that he's gone this summer period.
I don't think anything is done. Utd can easily still appoint Pochettino and come out and say they did their due diligence and have decided Pochettino is the man. Don't celebrate just yet.
Bookies odds mean sweet feck all as well. Not trying to be a party pooper but best we don't get excited when it can still go either way.

I won't get excited until an official announcement is made.
now I can't get the image out of my head.and continue with Maguire looking at Rashford desperately
Too right. Nothing against Fletcher but he didn't pay his dues and earn his position granted by Murtough. That role should've been given to Butt in my opinion but he clashed with Glazer boy Murtough and saw his way out
Big Day Today !
You're talking utter nonsense.
Butt was only in charge of the academy temporarily and was replaced by Nick Cox who is far more experienced at actually managing a academy and was a outside hire.
Fletcher's role at the club has been defined and we know his remit at the club, which involves working with the youth and assisting in bringing youth players to the club.
I've never seen a youth team recruiter sitting beside the manager and first team coach before Fletcher. His position is definitely not well defined.
His role at the club is absolutely defined and he's also a coach. And him sitting next to Rangnick is the choice of the interim Head Coach unless someone can provide evidence to the contrary. We've lost several people from the previous backroom staff and Rangnick himself has only brought in one coach, which is understandable due to the better coaches being in permanent jobs.
Good post
Letting everyone know you have interviewed a manager and then not picking him sounds weird. I think the line about following the process through is just to stall the press while they get a deal done, as Ajax stil have a lot to play for, same with us tbh.
Once Ajax win the title, this will be announced
