That's the whole point of
@Fortitude no? Ten Hag was blinded by individual magic from Rashford. Where would ETH be without Rashfords 30 goals? You could argue they would get someone else but in general I think it's fair to say ETH got blinded and drunk of Rashford's production.
For sure that has to be the reason why he signed of on a 375k a week contract? Even if ETH wanted Rashford to stay, why for 375k a week? Why not 200k a week or something? Because he was drunk where he should be led by reason and vision. And now we are stuck with a 20 million a year wage bill from mr Rashford. I bet at the moment top 10 paid premier league players. Cole Palmer, Solanke, Ollie Watkins, none of them are on high wages. If Rashford wanted more and threatened to leave he should have been let go. Goodbye. We are rebuilding a team, not club Rashford a la CR7.
One thing I learned is that being a premier league manager, a manager of a big club like Manchested United is difficult. At United the manager needs to to do way too much. INEOS best decision imo is to take away all the transfer dealings, take the main responsibility away from the club manager. I think Ten Hag has made mistakes there, as many others here will say he did with Antony for instance (even there
@Adnan wrote well about how the financials were outside of ETh''s scope or responsibility) and that Rashford aproval is going to cost us a lot.
