In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

I don’t like this post. It’s nothing at all to do with the topic of the thread and attacks posters for no good reason. Find a better outlet for your emotions.
So you would prefer to accept we can’t play attractive football with the players we have? Drop deep and play like a lower table side?
Surely the players play the football though. Did anyone look at Mateta vs Evans and think this won’t be an issue?
Constructive.
No but I did think we’d lose tonight. As soon as that line up was announced.
We have Evans, Casemiro and AWB at left back.
We have Eriksen (no legs), Mainoo (teen) and Mount (coming back after months of absence.
We have a 19 year old winger, 21 year old forward new to the league and Antony at RW. What else were we expecting?
Tuchel = personal opinion but no thanks, there is a reason he doesn't end with any club on good terms.
Zidane = apparantly has no interest in managing in england and has not experience in a job like this.
Amorim = unproven, is he an improvement?
Potter = I would point him in the Amorim camp but somewhat proven as being unable to cut it at a top club.
Southgate = Would be even worse, I guarantee it.
The only one that I’d say is no chance is Zidane. All the rest would probably come on a short term deal.
Most of that starting 11 are ETH players. That excuse doesn’t cut it tonight.
But that doesn’t excuse how bad we are all over the pitch. We’ve been absolutely battered by a bang average Palace side
We can’t string 3 passes together

Is it?
Yup, with that clown in charge it was always on the cards. Point is it is not because the team itself is so bad that 14th placed Palace can whip us around. Any competent manager would still ensure we put in a decent display.
People seem to be forgetting the CB pairings we used to play under SAF during our injury crises. This is not a brand new once-in-a-century event which some of his fans are making it out to be.
We’ve had a hell of a lot of pumpings with him in charge. Can’t remember too many games we’ve won by 3 or more. At least other managers had us scoring goals for feck sake.
Gareth Southgate would surely be an upgrade. Never thought I’d be saying that.
The most realistic option would be Darren Fletcher until end of season, if he was actually sacked tomorrow.
We play like this every week though regardless of who's starting. We could have 0 injuries and we'd still lose 2-0 at least.
We started the season poorly and it's gotten worse every single week.
But what about every other match this season?
West Ham and Palace owners have more ambition than INEOS. If Hag is still there this week it will confirm INEOS are as bad if not worse than Glazers. 18 months to buy the club 18 months on garden leave. This wasted time is killing us. feck off BREXIT Jim you cnut.
Ole was up there but I didn't expect to play utterly shite in every single match under him. Under ETH, I expect us to lose pretty much every single game that we play.
And will end up leaving the team depleted and devoid of any confidence. They (like half of the caf) probably think they are a midtable team..... Can't wait for the reset...
Which players?
10 of the ones who played today, were brought by ETH.
Does Glasner have a release clause?
If he wants to play Ole ball next season, he needs to swallow his pride and re-sign De Gea.
No feck it, get this faker the feck out of this club
No feck it, get this faker the feck out of this club
The next match.
It's a public service announcement. Me, personally, I like indulging your fantasies and made up conversations. Like studying amoebas.
A plan at least, organised maybe....
Would Sir AF or even Moyes lose to Palace 4 nothing with this available squad?
Oh yeh good point let's keep Ten Hag then. He's the worst manager the club has ever had but I'm sure a proper structure will make up for that, rather than gambling on a new manager who could not possibly be worse.

The first two goals come from exactly the problem we have in terms of defensive injuries. Casemiro our CB beaten in the middle of the park out of position. Evans dropping off giving space and Olise scores.
Then Mateta gets the ball driving at Evans, Evans backs off adjust body position recognising Mateta is dribbling right footed (anticipating a cut in) and Mateta ghosts past him with ease on his left and smashes one in.
2-0 down two errors by our starting CBs that result in those goals.
If you're still replying/engaging with posters that argue for Ten Hag seriously, you've spilled your noodles too. It's an exercise in un-seriousness and they're having you on
Says it all of the trust in a manager when that’s your answer.
Not just lose but get completely obliterated. It’s a miracle we haven’t had more of these results this year because honestly there have been many, many games that could have ended exactly like this.
Where am I wrong?
We have a RB playing LB, and massively out of form CM playing CB along side an unfit Jonny Evans, being ‘shielded’ by a 19yr old prodigy and Christian Eriksen.
My mate put a tenner on Palace 4-0!
Any coach in the league apart from that muppet at Sheffield would do a better job.
If I tell you I have a fantasy where you feck off into your little grief hole and find another hobby, can you indulge that one for me?
Or do you have to take 'ignoring everything I say' into another thread before that happens?
Im done with this "these players will throw any manager under the bus" argument.
Look at the starting XI tonight...
Onana, Casemiro, Ericksen, Anthony, Mount, Hojland and Evans. All Ten Hag signings.
Garnaco and Mainoo, new to the side. Garnaco made his debut in the last few games of Rangnick.
So you going to put all the blame on AWB and Dallot? Because you cant blame the usual suspects tonight - Rashford, McTominay, Bruno, Maguire etc.
Yes, our squad needed improvement but im afraid that Ten Hag has brought in a bunch of players that have made our squad worse.
As will I, but I can't guarantee I will keep watching. Never turned a game off until today.
My word, he has to be sacked now. This is just horrendous. From lineup, to setup, to subs, to halftime reorganisation. 80% of this is on Erik as a manager. This isn’t even including the players he’s decided to sign.
this is just going absolutely nowhere.
this is just going absolutely nowhere.
We've only 10 players left from when Ole got sacked. Half of those are probably leaving regardless of who the manager is next year.
Who are you worried will get a clean slate?
Yes
At least we know for sure now that we only have 3 more weeks of him to endure.
We have a lot of injuries, but ETH does not seem to want to adjust to the situation.
He has been a disaster for this club. I can’t remember a single manager who has overseen as many trouncings. With his signings, he has set the club back a couple of years because we are lumbered with the high wages of Mount, Casemiro, Onana and Antony.
Please get him out and get Tuchel in.

Yeah at this point it has clearly become a joke. Anyone thinking this can be excused is insane.
We havent played attractive football all season, depleted squad or full strength (-Martinez).
Fergie had no problem playing like a lower table side whenever we needed to. Because he has a brain. If you aren't tactically flexible and realistic, you don't belong in the business.
Ah, bless your heart.
