Patience. There will be a lot of first class news in the coming weeks and months and every single one of them will get Caf reactions.

“ETH has asked players to turn lights off with their right hand, but one player did it with his left”
Caf: Oh ffs, useless squad, sell them all!

“ETH has asked players to not unfold their napkins when eating but Sancho and Rashford did it”
Caf: Typical, Brexit FC, waste of money, sell them to Newcastle!
Had to laugh at that, but then I love Dad jokes

You just need to concentrate more on him, it happens literally in every game.

Please please please let him be good.
He is good. The only question is will our club let him succeed. There is a reason he cancelled his vacation and came here early. We can only hope that players like Marcus, Jadon, Mason (sry) and others come even earlier than ETH asked them to. Players need to start showing the correct attitude. Right now he has so much work to do. Too much for just a manager. he doesn't have good staff in place. he doesn't have a good foundation in place. he doesn't have good board. he doesn't have people there who will do everything for manager to succeed. and he doesn't have a good core of players. Basically everything is stacked against him. Media is just waiting for him to get 1 loss at OT and they will start their agenda to get him fired as fast as possible. I can already hear Greame talking utter nonsense. I myself am conflicted as f, I hate Glazers to the bone, no updates on their made promises and there are lots of fans like me. Bad atmosphere to begin with. And btw mate, i have to give ups on the nickname :D

Jesus, the level of arrogance and delusion in your comments and replies wouldn‘t look out of place in the worst of RAWK posts. Apparently no one can understand you due to everyone else’s poor comprehension skills. You say you don’t care about him coming early, yet care enough to post and reply that you don’t care and that it doesn’t matter. A lot of people don’t care about a lot of things, but they don’t go posting around that they don’t care on random threads.
I do not care for your personal attacks, especially when they're as cheap as mentioning "RAWK" as if it adds validity to whatever it is you're typing. I also do not care for what other people do.

You keep saying resting and recuperating are important when you have no clue of what ETH considers resting and recuperating.
And at which point did I say I have a clue regarding what Ten Hag considers resting and recuperating? Don't dance around this. Point out me doing this.

My initial post was: I don't know why this whole coming to Manchester early thing is being equated to "professionalism" <- clearly about the posts in this thread. Nothing to do with me implying I know what Ten Hag considers resting. Read it as many times as you need.

Maybe get off your high horse and understand that your view doesnt reflect ETH or anyone else’s views.
I'm not on a high horse because you read a post poorly and decided to attribute non-existent stances to me, and then decide to argue against said non-existent stances. That's all you.

I said I thought he should just go on holiday and that I didn't know why coming to Manchester early was being equated to professionalism in this thread. You replied with something about it being promising to us fans because it shows he really wants to succeed and bla bla bla extra responsibility. To which, me as a fan, said that I find resting/recuperating important and that coming to Manchester early has no bearing on if I think he really wants to succeed. From there you just got a bit manic :lol: I've even said I phrased things from my PoV and wasn't attributing nor imposing them on anyone else then asked you - twice - what are you arguing with me about? - which you are yet to answer - so I'll just assume you're not even sure yourself

but you insist on saying stuff like "your view doesn't reflect ETH or anyone else's views" What? After I explicitly phrased things from my PoV and even highlighted this twice Easily verifiably too.

see, poor reading comprehension.

No one cares if you are moved by his gesture/action/move.
I mean, you replied to me with "it's promising to us fans" and "going the extra mile has not bearing on wanting to succeed?" - I simply said the action of coming to Manchester early doesn't move me as it evidently has moved you.

To be perfectly honest I would prefer a left footed centre back. Someone to complement Varanne, someone like Evan Ndicka or Gonçalo Bernardo Inácio

Interesting that he's terminated his Ajax contract early, but I definitely think he's best off steering clear of working with the players until the season is over. Nowt he could realistically do in the next few days and if we lose at the weekend with him on the bench it'll mar the start of his time here and set the tone for the coverage we get all summer. Best we draw a line under this car-crash of a season before he comes in.

Straight forward and honest. That's what me and ETH have in common.
Yes, quite.

It's just, I dunno, I was expecting some ground-breaking revelation as to why we've played like dogshit for the last 9 years. "If they're rubbish, they can leave" is, well, not that.

Not sure why should he said that to the players anyway.

We've been burnt so many times over the years.

But I just can't help but love this man already. Just off a title winning season and he is immediately in Manchester to preside over the team.

Im impressed. He clearly WANTS to be here. He doesn't seem like he will be "living out of a hotel" in the long term.

Dare we hope once again?

Dare we love again? :lol:

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
I thought the media part was the bit he’s shit at? I know it’s written word but these interviews today are bloody brilliant. Oh and the bit about how we were very thorough and he knew after the first interview he really wanted this job seem to suggest the people conducting the interviews did one hell of a job selling Manchester United…weird. I thought they were useless.

Dare I say it, but this guy has a Fergie-esque aura about him. Not even the great man himself got such a warm send off.
The current Ajax has a really nice spirit around it, the club loves the players and staff and vice versa.

I hope in the coming years we can from "GET OUT OF HERE YOU FILTHY RAT" to "thank you for everything!"

oh please. If he goes hiding in games it should be easy to give one example. All I got was situation where it was borderline at best that he should show for the ball.
The reason why people said he goes hiding is because he's not giving himself as an option to receive a pass, but instead he moved into the spot where opposition players were blocking the passing path. There were spaces there where he could move into to provide better passing options but he didn't because he didn't want to take responsibility. As a midfielder myself I had done this before when I was younger for one of the example when suddenly I felt like I was about to have cramp if I make a pass and instead of giving my defenders an option, I purposely went hiding to spot where the passing path was blocked.

You can’t seriously be suggesting that Darren Fletcher and John Murtough are entirely appropriate for their positions. Nobody tell devilish
