Noooo....
Ten Hag sacked | Ruud appointed Interim Manager
- Thread starter Wumminator
- Start date
- Status
Two and a half years, transfer budget north of half a billion pounds and countless former players signed, but he was not given a platform to succeed
this is exactly what will happen - we beat Chelsea next weekend and they will give Ruud a 6-year deal
Good god, I never thought it would happen. Finally he’s gone
I'm actually surprised they did it now. The last game wasn't really something that I thought would trigger it. For me it is the right decision, and at least puts an end to the constant when will they sack him saga. Really should have been at the end of last season though. Hopefully Rudd does well, but I don't want a repeat of the Ole situation where we gift him the job if he does decent this season.
Has he used that excuse?
Good riddance.
FINA-feckING-LLY!!!!!
Agreed. It felt like the cup win bought him time (which means a one game performance trumped everything else)
The baffling thing still remains, we finished with minus goal difference. So the areas to sort out is either attack and defence depending on context. Mostly the attack here as the bigger issue was us not scoring. And we didnt address it, again. And it showed with us yesterday, against palace and right now only two teams have scored less than us in the league.
The first time I have agreed with us sacking a manager since Moyes.
Thanks for the two trophies Erik but the football was abysmal, we set new low after new low, in-game management was baffling and the system was insane.

This is the most depressing aspect. Not sure if the season can be salvaged now.
That West Ham game was so promising!!!!Well that's the end then. Hopefully I stopped getting attacked now
Best news in 2 years although I hope we get someone more proven than Ruud in, even on the short term.
Weird timing, but the right decision for sure. This next appointment will be a huge measuring stick for INEOS - they'll be able to bring their own man in. I hope for them, and for us it's a good decision.
As much as I think he was long past due going, can't help but feel a bit sad that he never kicked on after the first season.
Right, well, now that that's over... Cheers for the two trophies Erik, and a couple of decent nights in-between, but ultimately it was mostly a bit shit, and it'll take a while to recycle some of the dross that's come in during his time back out of the squad.
It won’t happen, not with INEOS. They’ll select someone with experience.
Thanks for the cups, ETH. Sad cannot see him be succesful, but it is good time to part ways.
As someone who's been having them for about a year on here the debates about how good, bad or terrible he is are suddenly irrelevant and as such incredibly boring.
Just because one is relieved that ETH is gone, doesn't mean one thinks the players are blame free.
I guess we got michael oliver to thank for finally seeing the back of a manager out of his depth in the epl just like de boer was
I feel the same. The potential was definitely there and he faced a series of difficult circumstances. I do feel that we had reached the point where it was becoming impossible to turn things around though.
The point is to get a manager who knows how to sign better players. No more Anthonys.
Another Manager gone. Yet Maguire, Dalot, Shaw, Lindelof, Bruno, Rashford remain.
Correct decision, feel a bit sorry for him.
Keep Ruud in place until we are 100% sure on the next boss.

Thanks for the FA Cup and League Cup Erik, sorry it didn't work out.
League and European form was too poor since the League Cup win and there was no progression and no uplift in his third season start so it had to be done.

Ding dong the hag is gone!
Only 6 months later than he should have been.

Should have gone out on a high after the FA Cup win, shame it dragged on as it did. It's a relief though. There is still the chance for this to be a decent season.
Always sad to see a Utd manager sacked but 100% the right decision.
2 best memories the FA Cup win and the 4-3, the bad?,too many.

I am absolutely buzzing I can't even explain it. Never in my life did I think it would get to the point of me wanting the opposition to win just to end this sooner and make us better again in the future.
As long as they make it clear to Ruud that no matter how well he does, he's 100% not our next manager I don't mind

I’ll be honest now and admit that I really thought ETH might be the one to right the ship. Rarely have I been this wrong about something. And I’m wrong about a lot of stuff.
Needs to get some Preparation H.
People having different opinions shocker! Not disputing any of that, but the messy takeover, the Ronaldo and Greenwood situations, the ridiculous injury record last season, etc. These are things that I was mentioning. I feel that if he'd come into the club this summer, with the current structure, it would be different. But it's just my personal opinion.Two and a half years, transfer budget north of half a billion pounds and countless former players signed, but he was not given a platform to succeed
And he got us 2 cups, a good first season, so yeah I liked him. Always seemed like a genuinely good guy.
I take no pleasure in seeing a man lose his job, but this is the correct decision by the club.
Back to square one, a new manager to clean out the last ones bad purchases and waste a load of money in his crap.

That's a relief.

He'll be at Bayern when they sack Megamind.
No evidence of this. Some of the players aren't/weren't good enough but to say they did it on purpose is wrong
Unless you're 4 years old, this is also a load of nonsense. Won 2 trophies, reached another final. One top 3 finish. Considerably better than Moyes and also achieved more than Van Gaal and Solskjaer in terms of trophies.
Only Mourinho has done a better job than him post Fergie.
