About time
Ten Hag sacked | Ruud appointed Interim Manager

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood), Jamie (@Vault Dweller) and Ed (@That'sHernandez) are here to give their reaction just hours after the news has broke. Where did it all go wrong for ETH? What's next for United? and what were the highlights?
They also react to United's loss away at West Ham, including a breakdown of that ridiculous VAR decision.
And this is why he’s been sacked, albeit a year too late.
The league form has been fecking atrocious.
Dalot and Michael Oliver showed him the door.
Which is fine, but I presume the next manager *may* keep him around. I do think at least Hojlund's movement has improved - not saying that's all down to Ruud but its notable considering how little game time he s had since coming off the injury. I dont get the impression Ruud is tied at the hip with EtH
Honestly no idea why we waited till now. Should have just done it in the international break. I’m relieved it’s over.
Surely the next bloke can’t be anywhere near a bad.

ever since the cup win over newcastle the footy has been pretty much dreadful. This was just a painfully obvious choice that shouldve been made over the summer. Instead the club let knee jerk fans cost us this season as well.
Let's hope Ineos learn their lesson over this. Put clauses into future contracts for sitting in mid-table.
Also, don't let fan pressure force your hand.
They've overseen us hitting rock bottom, now what?..

Most of our fanbase needs the Good Will Hunting treatment, but instead of being told "it's not your fault", the therapist needs to endlessly repeat "all football clubs sack underperforming managers".
We keep thinking this and yet...
Well at last they have made the inevitable decision. Albeit far too late.
This is hardly the most promising start by the ineos leadership team. Rather difficult to see how they could have handled it any worse.
Dithering during the summer could be put down to fact that they were still very new to the job or not yet set up. So I am prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt in just extending the manager contract.
I don't have a problem with appointing RVN and it is down to him now to persuade them that he is the right person to take the club back to the top.
So I wish him all the very best.
He has taken on easily the most difficult job in world sport, in my opinion.

Nice
But the fans actually do have a bit of responsibility for the shitshow we are
Make up your mind what exactly is your point, then, because these players will eat Ruud on breakfast if he'll try demand more.
End of an era. He had to go but I have to thank him for getting rid of Ronaldo and Sancho, two of the biggest bellends we have had at the club recently.
The players lack quality, but I see little evidence that they didn't follow ETH's incoherent tactics and gameplan up until the end.
Players having to run too much in training last season and being stiff the next day, according to that.
It's difficult to sift through what is true, but that's an interesting article that I definitely didn't use a paywall filter to access.
thats about the only thing he’ll bring as a manager. A good bounce that’ll last for a few weeks. As the season’s pretty young still, I want us to get a proper interim manager and not settle for Ruud till the end of the season
Hopefully they have someone lined up - I would love to not have RvN failing as an (interim) manager.
I’m happy I can potentially enjoy football again.
I'm not sure how that relates to my post. My point is that our fans need it drilled into their heads that sacking managers is a completely normal thing that all football clubs do.
Penny pinching
Would like to earmark some comments here and revisit this when the merry-go-round begins again.
Still, happy w/ this decision. Long time coming.

If I may be allowed a quick whinge, this sacking should have happened the week after the FA Cup win. What has happened this season was predictable and many of us actually predicted it.
The way forward is for another thread, but my feeling now is a combination of anger and relief.

Yea that is quite right. A succession of capable managers have walked in and been kicked out since Sir Alex.
And I keep hoping that this time we have got it right, only to be disappointed like the rest of us.
Yet other clubs have made a much better job of recruiting the right person.
The level of support this guy received at United is kinda mental
It's about time. Thank fecking god this is over, what a nightmare.
Oh some of these players lack more than just quality. They'll smell blood, and they'll exploit it. Ole was perfect example. Manager is to blame, sure. You'll see how everyone will throw stones at Ruud or next appointment, perhaps sooner than later.
I wonder if next appointment will even sniff the silverware, even league cup for that matter.
Yeah and we’re the only club that do that kind of thing to failing managers
Finally. Not gonna miss him, hopefully the new manager can be picked well.
You’re not alone.
Not this again. It's been done to death.
Others might do the same thing to you.....

It will be done to death, again. The club running in circles. You'll be throwing rocks at next appointment very soon.
Finally, now can we finally kick start the season?
It was kept very quiet which is an improvement from previous sackings, was obvious it should have happened in the summer and that keeping him beyond the international break was a waste of but at least it hasn’t gone on any longer.
ETH did well to win two trophies but post Carabao Cup Final he has been pathetic in the league and Europe.
Be interesting to see what happens now, I don’t think Nagelsman will be interested and Amorim is likely to wait for City so could be between Xavi and Frank.

Maybe the manager is just shit mate? Last I saw ‘these players’ were pretty much signed by the manager who they got sacked.
Maybe the next manager will be shite too ? I'm guessing the next after him is shite, too.
