That's probably a case of Shaw has played under him, Shaw spoke to others, Spurs 3 good years under Pochettino is fresh in the mind of some of these players and that's that. Its not like loads of them follow the Eredivisie, and Van de Beek definitely doesn't hold as much away in the squad/media to back Ten Hag. And besides, the majority likely don't have a real opinion and it was a vocal few.
Next permanent manager | Poll updated

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Yes, it's pretty much done.
Really happy if this is true but important not to get carried away with the hype. He will be taking over an absolute quagmire of a squad so he will need more patience than any manager since Fergie imo.
Yep, done dealio.
Bet there's a few squeaky bums in that changing room ha
Let's hope the chancers of the squad get moved out soon as.

Definitely, a lot will depend on summer.
great news - now we can get on with the real work...
Too early for a Sack Watch?
The fans have a responsibility to be patient with him. It's perhaps understandable that we turned on the last few managers because there was no visible evidence of any long-term plan, but this time we have a coach who is coming here to start a project and we'll need to be patient, especially with some of the shite he's inheriting.
Get lost
Squeee!

Let’s give him time. Will probably have a few 80% possession, no chances or few chances matches in the early stages. Really grates me that Scholes will be on his back, looking all sour face within weeks.
If that's true, Ogden is first to break it. How reliable is he?
Time to get behind Erik over the players 100%.
Pep Guardiola is my idol incoming 
Burt is close to Pochetino isn’t he?

Rob Dawson is good. Ogden used to be good, not that much anymore. James Burt is good. So I'm confident with it.
They also had Son and Delle Alli punching above his weight. Poch is the only manager who got a tune out of Alli. He made that team perform greater than the sum of its parts. Credit where it's due, he challenged and outperformed better attacks on paper
That clown Miguel Delaney is in the mud per usual
If true I’m glad it’s getting done now giving the club time to plan for transfers/out goings.
It might even give the team a kick up the arse knowing he’ll be watching our games

I for one, welcome our new bald overlord
Not sure if he outperformed better attacks, they just had better players. Kane, Son, Eriksen mainly as a 3 but Alli as you say was good for a while there. In fact I'd say Pochettino's biggest plus is how he got Alli to actually look like a top player for a while, as everywhere else he's looked incredibly average, while the other 3 look just as good wherever else they play too.
Won't get excited until official confirmation and even after some less dumb transfers but still good we've not made another dumb choice.
He's an absolute spooferMiguel Delaney is in the mud per usual
Sami Mokbel has it too.
done deal.
done deal.
Jason Burt is tier 1 so it's a done deal. Someone should check on Amadeus he could use an arm round the shoulder.
If this happens, hats off to the club for making the first step in trying a new direction. Obviously we need to back him fully to shape the squad but feels like absolutely the right appointment.

Great news if true. He'll need time though.
Is it possible to have hope here; BOTH manager and transfer targets sorted before the end of the season? So ready to pull the trigger as soon as the window opens?
Massive for the club to back him, ride the storms and do this rebuild properly. Not just winging it but the right personnel in the right positions, that's why I feel retaining Rangnick as a DoF type role is crucial in ten Hags appointment.
Ducker and Orny tweets incoming soon, i bet. Sounds like the club has put this out
Don't get your hopes up.
So today’s a big day?
So I guess the club weren't making a big smokescreen to bring in Poch
Waiting for @Pexbo to confirm
