Everyone saying he's safe until the Rat Pack come in...to be fair, that could be next week (
), thus after the Liverpool game.

- Thread starter rio's upper lip
- Start date

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?
Should've gone weeks ago, months really, it's been apparent since last season things aren't right and since the start of this one it has got worse and worse.
We've accepted 7-0 loss is OK as a club so I doubt the inevetiable loss on Sunday will change anything.
Ratcliffe won't be so forgiving of incompetence, though, so the sooner they come in the better in that regard.

I don't think that'll change anything at all. Unfortunately, I think he's also a passive/weak owner. What we needed was an involved authoritarian type, but I can see Ratcliffe buckling into the "needs time" narrative.
Ratcliffe isn't actually taking over. He's a minority owner.
He should be gone before Sunday in an ideal world.
Nah, there is no appetite at the club currently to sack Erik and I think he will minimum see out this season
You don’t want him to go? Explain yourself!
Yeah I know, I mean the sporting side. Our sporting side is having a takeover and big changes, so I get it that no decision is being made (though it really should anyway)
Our fans did that. Being calm and zen was more important, than actually holding your club to a standard. We're a historic club who somehow inherited a smalltime fanbase.
Is Neville still saying he needs to be given until the end of the season.
Why?
So he can destroy any chance we have of Europe, we aren't that far behind despite how bad we've been. Get rid now and change it up!!!

Sorry, I am not watching...
Don't want to spoil my weekend..
It will be 3-0

Mate fecking Ole himself would improve us. People say this as if we have been quality and just in a bad rut of form or something.
This!!
Would be weird/mad to make a change now, although it might become untenable when we don’t win again until Wigan in a replay at OT, which I have l just bravely predicted in the pub
Conte on an interim on the same type of deal as Spurs.
Knowing us we’d probably give it to Steve McLaren till the end of the season.
He 100% should be but I’m afraid he won't be because we have no money.

Did we really need another thread for the sacking of the manager?
I would be not surprised if we lose 0-8 against Liverpool and nothing will change.
I like this
We could lose in double figures and nothing will change. There'll still be calls for backing the manager here.
It's anybodies guess really.
I should clarify though, I think Ratcliffe will obviously bring in DoFs and maybe Blanc, and I think they'd have managers in mind they prefer. So I can't see them putting up with ETH for no reason.
Ten Hag gets away with utter shite that no one else does
He should be a criminal

Give it to Ole. He did well as an interim manager. But don't offer him a fulltime contract this time.
Odds we could lure Xabi Alonso over to us?
Hopefully. What we need is someone who ignores the narratives, media and especially the fanbase with the rhetoric around managers.
Unfortunately, I think the voices are maybe too loud and they keep nudging the club into running the inefficient way it does.
Doubt they'll thrash us again. But they'll almost certainly win
this is a very good point. We need people confident enough to run the club with their own ideas and not sway with public opinion
Don't think a loss to Liverpool will do it. He will be gone before the end of Feb, though.
Everyone acts like it's just the manager. The players are shite and not good enough, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
The ridiculous amount of times that we lost the ball tonight due to missing an easy pass or a really poor touch, and it happens game after game! The technical level of these players is so poor and we are many levels away from the elite. Any manager that walks in the door will struggle with this team. Ten Hag isn't going anywhere.

With the extra injuries we have now, the line-up is nightmare-inducing:
———————Onana
AWB——Varane——Evans——Dalot
————Amrabat——McT
Antony————Mainoo———Garnacho
———————Hojlund
Anything better than 5-0 defeat and I’ll call it a win.

We are shit, and Ten Hag is actively making the making the same stupid choices that are keeping us shit.
Nah he won’t go. Going out of Europe could be a blessing in disguise over the second half of the season. Get through these next 2 weeks still in touch and get bodies back.
We can almost pick a team of injured / missing players now heading into the Liverpool game
Malacia Magure Martinez Shaw
Casemiro
Mount Eriksen
Amad. Fernandes Sancho
with Rashford and Martial ill

Sounds crazy, but I wouldn't mind it, for the sole reason that having a Dipper in charge means he wouldn't be coming in with an insane amount of unearned goodwill that every manager gets from the fans here.
I'd say he'll be gone on the 27th after the losses to West Ham and Villa.
I doubt it. You could put Stevie G in charge of us, and the Fergie comparisons would be out in force.
I think the only real solution is to anonymise the manager. A bit like The Stig from top gear, so that our fans don't know who the manager is at any given time. Deprive them of a **** leader to rally around.
Sure they do...just not the right one.
This is only because the fanbase loves the faux outrage from fan channels like The United Stand. When we are bad they (fan channels) make a LOT more money.
Put him on trial in Den Haag
That's the bit a lot of people seem to be missing. I'm not sure there's even anyone at the board level keeping an eye on the results nevermind the games.
