This is something that has baffled me, because Ole did it as well. Does he think that by dropping players they will turn on him, or it will hurt their mentality or something. We did see that RR tried the Iron Fist dropping players and the dressing room turned on him really quickly. Is EtH scared...

It's exactly the same story now, all of the clubs you mentioned would still look at EtH. Some of our fans have a really fecking short memory, his Ajax record. 3x League Titles 2x Domestic Cups 1x Champions League Semi-Final The reason I highlighted the Semi-Final is that you highlight the...

I'm sorry but that just isn't true, if any of those clubs you've listed were looking for a new manager last Summer when we got EtH he makes the shortlist for all of them and probably turns down approaches from Newcastle, Spurs and Brighton. He has not been perfect, but lets not re-write...

I dont have any basis for this other than anecdotal evidence, but I don't think Mount was ETH's first choice for that Midfield slot. He spent a summer chasing a progressive ball carrier in FDJ, there were then some links to him again in this summer which came to nothing. I could be wrong but I...

EtH should not be immune from criticism, he hasn’t got everything right and should face criticism for the things he hasn’t got right. But people calling for him to be sacked are absolutely mental. Yesterday we were missing 4 players that start for us every week, and more that offer depth to...

I think Antony has had his chance at this stage and we should be looking at other options. I'm not sure how balanced the team is with two selfish wide forwards in Rashford and Antony playing week in and week out. It means most of if not all of our creativity has to come from Bruno. The few times...

I think after this signing it will be a one out one in scenario directly linked to the player leaving, so I think Martial will need to be shipped out if we are to sign another striker.

Think EtH is absolutely the right manager for us, but some of the performances over the last few weeks have been worrying and reminiscent of some of the tumescent performances largely the same group of players put in under two/three successive managers. I don't know if it's fatigue, attitude or...

I do respect those that are genuinely going to boycott the club if we are bought by Qatar out of principal, but there are a lot of people in this thread that are living on a different planet. Most people want someone with unlimited money (or close to it) to buy the club without any debt, and...

Without getting into the morals of it all, one things Qatar will do is listen to the fans. The worry with a lot of other owners is that they come in and feel they have to make wholesale changes, we are finally starting to get the football side right and I think most fans want the manager and...

All I want is... - Someone that isn't looking to take money out of the club. - Will invest in the infrastructure/team (even if it's the clubs own money). - Can competently run a football club or will put someone in place that can competently run a football club I genuinely don't care who...

I think Sancho has got off very lightly so far, Rashford and Martial were being dragged over hot coals last year for the sort of performances Sancho is putting in now. We've given him time to adapt, he now needs to start being the player most people think he can be. Last night wasn't good...

Is it possible that ETH has been told to play certain players to protect their value, I mean it’s the only explanation for the same people playing week after week. Something has to change,the fringe / youth players simply can’t do any worse so what does he have to lose at this point?

Feels like another knee jerk transfer that will be dead wood in 12-18 months time. Making the same mistakes over and over again.

I don’t know why anyone is surprised by the result. We still haven’t addressed the issues at CM, Bruno and Rashford still look short of confidence and the defence is a shaky as ever. Next few weeks are going to make or break our season depending on who we sign.
