Of course the manager matters. Otherwise the job wouldn't exist. The people above will be shaping the squad in tandem with the manager, whoever they may be, but they aren't the ones picking the team. If the players know that Ten Hag is gone, they'll no longer feel the need to listen to him or do the running for him, that can only be a bad thing. Wait until the end of the season, and announce any decision then after we've given it our best go.
Ole hasn't won even a final during his entire time with us.
He's not blameless. I mean, come on
Next doors dog, or cat. Anything other than ETH.
Yes, it's called game management. He's terrible at it, you're terrible at reading it.
It's more likely they just tune Ten Hag out and phone it in until pre-season.
His setup vs City is also how Madrid approached their tie against them, for example, just with better players and a bit more organization.
It’s the only way to beat them - Jose figured them out nearly 15 years ago! But I bet we go toe to toe with 5 fit players, a bunch of kids and the donut formation.
He clearly is not suited for clutch matches, especially finals. Why bring him back specifically for a final?
"I think we should bring back Dirk Richter. Kids will want to see the original Radioactive Man."

Their future will not be decided by ETH anyway, regardless of who picks the team. We've all got eyes and can see where the issues lie, there's no way Ineos and their guys are going to let them get away with it and the players should know this. If not, it should be made clear to them anyway.
The manager is usually the one to take the blame when the team looks terribly unorganized and lost out there, yes.
What you said isn't based on much other than 1 final that we arguably should've won even without our best defender available
He will. Whether he goes or not, I'm not too fussed about either outcome at the moment, but the call should be made by the people who Ratcliffe is in the process of hiring to run the club for him. That's why I don't get people calling for ETH's immediate dismissal. We've been crying out for footballing people making the footballing decisions for years. Ratcliffe and Brailsford shouldn't be making them. It's not like the season isn't over, anyways.
Yeah it's bizarre to mention that. He bottled the only final he played, against a ragtag Villareal side. He also couldn't beat Pep when it mattered. If we absolutely had to go for an interim I would pick him, just because he done ok before, knows the club etc. Getting an interim in April isn't going to happen, though.
That would be awesome. Almost as awesome as hearing the glass break
No? I didn't mention my own intellect at all, and there are some intelligent posters on here.Have you actually just gone and posted "everyone is stupid except me" without a hint of irony?
Cheers mate
This squad isn’t good enough but they’re better than throwing away a 3-0 lead against Coventry and almost losing through extra time.
If Ten Hag is the manager then he'll still have a huge say in their future, as would any other manager. The guys above the manager aren't going to get rid of a key player that the manager depends on.
Our current manager lost 7-0 to Liverpool.
I am aware of that. I am merely trying to put myself in the shoes of those fans who think it would be a bad idea to give Ole the job for the next 5 weeks.
