  1. Who replaces Ten Hag?

    So he fought with Leonardo over transfers but is not interested in transfer dealings, hence his fall out with Chelsea? I'm not sure this makes much sense unless you're saying Leonardo wanted him to deal with transfers too? When someone repeatedly falls out with others it usually indicates a...
  2. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    No mate, just give him time and he'll come good. Antony will win the Ballon d'or in two years like Ronaldo did if we keep him. We stuck by Ronaldo when everyone said he had no end product and see where that got us... Have faith!
  3. The next Liverpool manager | Arne opens a Slot in his schedule to talk with Liverpool

    I'd love Mourinho to join Liverpool, that'd be wonderful!
  4. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    They are being serious and you hear people like Neville say similar. The reason they, and Neville, can't back it up is because it is a compulsion of theirs to defend the manager and say whatever they can think of in defence of the manager without any actual depth of critical thinking. I think...
  5. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Absolutely incredible to think back on...wow!
  6. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Fully agreed, I've said it many times that the way fans talk about giving managers time and carte blanche to do what they want in hope they turn into Fergie is so disrespectful and oblivious to how truly great Fergie was. All these fans saying how important the next manager choice is and how we...
  7. In hindsight, Mourinho was right about a few things?

    Simple and accurate. I have no idea why Mourinho at United is ever spoken about, especially in glowing terms. He was a prick and past it and those that he talked down actually kept him in a job and were excellent at times under Ole.
  8. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    They are also swift at getting rid of coaches and players who do not meet their standards. That swiftness stops malaise setting in and standards across the board dropping. They are far from perfect, but they aggressively pursue success, whereas we have fans and a board (previously) that live by...
  9. Cole Palmer | Chelsea Player

    Exactly, you should accept a sympathy penalty but never beg for one. It is up to the designated taker to allow someone else to take it if he chooses. Jackson really does look like an idiot and so does Madueke.
  10. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Weird illogical belief that our fans have. In fact, it is something that surrounds the club, as you have pundits and media members say the same about United for some reason but don't seem to care much about other clubs running through managers.
  11. The MMA thread

    Honestly one of the most incredible things I've seen in the octagon. Cruising to victory but said eff it let's stand and bang then knocks him clean out in the last second. I love Max so much!
  12. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Why are our fans so scared of managers coming in, failing and being replaced? We are quick to want players replaced but not managers. If the new guy doesn't work then replace him - keeping a manager we KNOW is not performing and hoping for some magical miracle turnaround is absolutely not the...
  13. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    It is wild, you wouldn't expect the bottom side to concede close to 30 shots a game against everyone they face. Our set up is horrible and so are our performances overall, which is what the coach influences - we have the talent on the pitch to pop up with moments against even the best sides but...
  14. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    I want half the team replaced but I do kind of feel sorry for them being asked to play this way. They look so clueless and probably know deep down that the instructions are poor but they have to follow it because their coach is telling them to do these things. I understand that a lot of people...
  15. Kieran McKenna | Ipswich manager

    Imagine he turned down the United job because he was "hounded out by fans on social media". I don't think social media had anything to do with him moving into a head coach role elsewhere, I'd be surprised if he even cared that much what randoms on the internet said about his coaching ability...
