I'll give Ruud 2 games to pick the team I want or I'm on the Ruud out train!!
Ten Hag sacked | Ruud appointed Interim Manager

I hope Ruud drops the inverted full back bollox EtH insisted on.
We're yet to see any of these managers leave United and make us regret sacking them. I doubt it'll be any different with ten Hag.
Just tuned in…my god they actually did it, 3 months too late mind you but finally he’s gone, thanks for your minor trophies but whatever style of play you were trying to implement, do it somewhere else.
This makes most sense from all options available. Would be next season. Which means letting RVN see the season out.
Always thought ETH was absolutely shit and the kind of manager Spurs would have had ten to fifteen years ago. Was proven correct, unfortunately.
Well if we let him sign his shitty little players from a league that is light years off the PL then maybe he will be?
Spurs turned him down previously over a lack of charisma it was said
4 wins in 14 games this season and people here were defending him. fecking madness!
You probably wish that. Our 900.000.00m worth of players squad is more than good enough to be able to play the way Spurs or Villa do. More than good enough to not be 14th. We just need to appoint the right manager. Lets see who it will be.
Haha 4 wins in 14 games and the next manager can go also
Good to see that you're giving him a chance and not jumping to conclusions.
Hopefully the next man actually has charisma and has hair.
Relegation is a ladder!
We will probably let managers sign players they want at some point. Better start preparing stones to throw at next appointment, with no guarantees of winning even a league cup.
This obsession with managers staying 30 years in a job needs to stop. United has a long history and we only had 2 managers like that one of which was already showing signs of decline when he left. It's normal for managers to reach their ceiling or are fount out which means that they need to get sacked.
In such circumstances we need people who can pick the tab at interim level only to vanish in the shadows once the new manager is chosen. Inter had the iconic beppe baresi in the role (brother of Franco). He covered every role from interim manager to assistant right to scout at a time when Mancini wanted as much distance between the two. The man would be kept in the loop, he would go in knowing exactly were the problem is, he would stir the ship to the right direction and then he would return to a lesser role when the club ended up hiring a new Manager. I was hoping ole or phelan could do that job for us. Ruud can be that man as well
The players were celebrating the 4-3 result against Bayern. Says it all
This is such a rediculous situation now, should have been fired earlier and appointed tuchel, well who is available now: no Southgate please
If the next manager gets the same daft treatment this one has from some fans, ridiculous patience and time I will honestly be in utter disbelief. I hope the next time it’s obvious the bloke is a failure they get the chop a lot swifter. Let’s actually start acting like a proper modern day club please.
You forgot to add, if manager fail, you sack them... and appoint substantial upgrade. You can't even be sure if your new punching bag will win a league cup.
I’ll take not winning the league cup if it means not finishing in the bottom half and getting routinely thrashed by your rivals.
That's because its not only about hiring the right manager, but having the right structure. We could have Pep, Xavi, Ancelotti or whoever and they wouldn't make it here at the moment.
There’s a clear mentality issue and has been for years. Mentally this club needs a lot of work. Imagine celebrating any defeat as a top level footballer? Bizarre.
Onana has been pretty good this season - he'll be our starting keeper for years
So you know how the season will end huh ?
You need to prepare for the worst then, because club is in bad era. Pool and Arsenal were there. We can change manager every season, if that makes people calmer.
Don't know anything long term yet but he's definitely one of the least of our problems presently for a new manager to address
I'm late to this.
Never happy to see a manager lose his job, but it was necessary. I think privately Ten Hag will be okay about it too. He'll look 20 years younger and with a fresh head of hair soon.

I share the same view on Bruno Fernandes. Unfortunately, it's not so easy to sack a player (or two).

You're acting as if every other poster here was defending him?
Just want to say those for the sake of it? I dont see many posters defending him last 3 weeks?
Lots of names obviously doing the rounds but I don’t think many of them are realistic at this point. There are a handful of decent managers around but no truly great ones available right now.
Amorim I don’t think will come mid season and may be City bound if Pep walks.
Similarly I think Nagelsmann is wedded to the NT project right now.
Hoeneß has it all to prove and isn’t ready for the PL, let alone a toxic hot seat like United.
Someone like Potter or Southgate may be attractive as a developer and club builder, if not an out and out winner. That’s the kind of position/project we are in right now and Ashworth has worked with them both previously also so will know all about them. I think this is the path we will take, uninspiring as it may be.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ruud in place until January now, and then Southgate appointed when he’s back to work.

Fantastic start to the week. Hopefully Ruud can inject some positivity into the squad, I'm sure he's given all fans an instant lift of mood.
Ruud out
I don't want Ruud to take over because I love the guy, and I don't want to see another club legend getting shit on. Which he will as soon as things start going wrong.
I don't care who the new manager is, there's no obvious available name that excites me and I don't believe they'l succeed anyway. If we could just be remotely interesting, or exciting to watch. If I could just feel a tiny bit of pride in the team and the club, that'd be great.

It´s time to open a bottle of DOM and celebrate..I have a feeling Xavi is coming to Manchester. Here´s for glory.
Ruudathunkit?!
But trophies aren't important apparently.
I swear we're the only fanbase in the world that would downplay a cup final win against our local rivals.
Most damaging manager we've had. Oh come on, that's absurd.
But so what if the cups are doing heavy lifting? We were shite in the FA Cup for far too long. Same with the EFL Cup.
city and the scousers regularly get to the final of these competitions. We should be aswell.

The league is the bread and butter and what helps keep the club financially profitable. Not being able to be in the top 4 consistently has cost the club financially and in some prestige too. What is the point in cups if we can't be a good team in the league?
Let's make appointment every six months then. Should speed up the process... but by luck is not exacly how world works, right ? There has to be calculation from time to time, to actually appoint an upgrade, rather than another random manager.
Another appointment will need proably need another year on assessing things... if only people had patience for that.
It should have happened at the last break. Let's hope there is enough time and the players/coaches put in maximum effort to salvage something from this season.
Woof....this has come as such a relief. Although, the anxiety levels regarding the state of the club remain the same. We wasted quarter of our season and another gbp 200m hoping for a miracle when it was plenty obvious to anyone who knows even a little about football that ETH wasn't cut out for the job. It's so frustrating watching the higher ups at the club make feck-up after feck-up for the last 12 seasons.
I don't know if they'll get it right this time, but hope springs eternal.
We go again!
