in dienst genomen would normally mean your employment contract starts on that day
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
Disappointed at the lack of flight information arriving at Manchester airport from Schiphol.
He says he agreed with the club to start on the 16th so I guess he is officially our manager now.
im pretty certain Ralph
don’t think ETH would risk starting like this, he’s had no time to train the players and let’s be honest Palace are probably gonna turn us over
That's true, he could do with a lesson or two

- So Ten Hag starts today,
- wants to work with Ronaldo,
- basically says Neville, Ferdinand and Scholes should shut up. Because they are United icons their opinions may influence the dressing room.

Private jet has just landed at Manchester from Amsterdam, could be him.
Impressive that he's arrived into work before me and he's commuted from Amsterdam, I love him.
He knows this is a huge job, but a big task.
Instead of thinking i've made it to the top and relaxing, he's getting straight on with seeing just how much of a mess we really are in.
I think this guy is going to be fantastic for us I really do. He is the obsessive type that doesn't really want time off from football. We needed our own maniac.

Yup seems like a proper football workaholic nerd like Pep. Just what we need.
Modern day mentality, I want everything nowYeah, really a tragedy that he is realistic enough to know that he can't switch out the whole team and needs to work with the players he got. Really stupid of him, if he would only listen to the United fans who essentially want him to fire everyone on the team and completely rebuild the squad in 2 weeks, because that' possible on FM, so he shouldn't complain.
You've nailed it.
We simply cannot afford to start our recruitment after he comes back from his holidays and starts pre season. It's great he's gonna put his needs and requirements right now. No need to spend half the pre season evaluating the duds we've already got. I love it
Yep hopefully it'll be like night and day between Erik and Ralf.
Ralf had zero power at this club. He wasn't even allowed to have a say on who should get loaned or whom we should buy in January. The guy had to work with a team built by an amateur who tanked despite spending 420m on the squad. No wonder why he failed

This squad has no clue what's coming at them.

Why does everyone keep questioning who the manager will be against Palace? It will be RR. ETH will most probably be sitting with the Directors in the stand somewhere - which we’ve seen a million times before: new managers watching and assessing the team they’re about to take over before they officially start the gig.
"and ten Hag's seen enough, he's coming down to the technical area! Incredible scenes at Selhurst Park!"
I wonder what managerial credentials do the likes of Neville and Scholes have to go on live TV and preach about ETH
I like the fact he has decided to start early here but surely he will just be in the stands on Sunday and not actually be managing us.
I imagine he is taking this week to bed in chat to the owners and Arnold etc.
He may meet with the players but I wouldn't really expect him to be working with them just yet

The future United manager realizes that former players Paul Scholes, Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville have quite the influence at Old Trafford. "That has influence, but should never affect the dressing room," he makes clear. "Perhaps the criticism is more severe there. The club simply has a larger fan base and more reach than Ajax, because England is much bigger, the Premier League is much bigger and everything is actually much bigger. Compared to the Netherlands, it is factor 2, 3, 4 or maybe even more. Fortunately, I have acquired more and more knowledge of how to deal with certain force fields."
EtH is Doctor Strange apparently
We used to have real time flight data with schedules and all, bloody slackers nowadays.
Not expected in Manchester until next week according to the Athletic.
Can we have a quote. And not in Dutch.
Funny, in an interview after the Ajax match I personally heard him say he’s flying in to Manchester today.
Damn he's fast.
Not more than many other ex player pundits. Saying that, they do speak a lot of crap, especially Scholes.
Yeah he'll likely be flying to London.

He sounds like Count Dooku from Star Wars

Thread title is finally correct!
Fair enough, I know he's starting work this week but presumed he was going to the club offices in London based on the stories that came out over the past 24 hours. If he's going to Manchester instead then great, I know I'd sooner spend the week in Manchester than London.
My thoughts exactly
Same was said about Ralf.Total Football Ten Hag
This squad has no clue what's coming at them.
In fairness Ralf had no power over them and they knew that. They knew he wouldn't be here next season and they knew that he wasn't being backed by the board with regards incomings/outgoings as shown by the players pretty much downing tools since the end of January.
Considering the season starts sooner after the summer, he’s very smart to pick up things asap.
I think as people have said he will likely identify coaching staff, have important conversations with Murtough, whether its transfer targets or arrangements for the tour, it will need to happen now.
Hopefully it includes a sharp and detail orientated conversation with Ralf to give him a bit of a heads up for the trouble Makers, ETH will then of course be able to make his own judgements based off of that conversation.
Id really like to see swift responses to all of the outgoing players they can’t go on tour and we don’t want prolonged negotiations.
The fans have been witness to the worst premier league season we have ever had, no analysis is needed on some of the rotten core and we don’t want to be waiting till post tour for some of the biggest offendors to go.
