Quite honest indeed.
What a weird thing to say.
Imagine him saying this about Luton
Imagine him saying this about Luton
"Yeah? You like it, bitch?"
"Well.
I guess.
Yeah."
Cnut.
I guess.
Yeah."
Cnut.
Who is that cnut asking the question? Ban him forever.
ten Hag needs to command some respect and get people like this put on the list, proverbial head on a spike so others don't feel bold enough to overstep the mark like this.
Play this shit in the dressing room before every game. Siege mentality.
What a weird thing to say. Who even is the cnut that is interviewing him?
Idiot reporter. ETH answered that well.
YOU JUST MADE THE LIST
I don't think they'll care about some no mark TNT reporter
Damn straight. He's got a lot more power in his hands than he seems to realise. Needs to start wielding it.
Good response
God be with the days where Fergie would just ban cnuts like this. We're too soft.
Love that response.
Do you think he meant to say "how we like to describe it from the outside"?
Sounds like Matt Smith who’s a Liverpool fan. Still quite amazing to say that to a manager as a ‘neutral’ reporter. Ten Hag should never allow him in on an interview again. As fergie would have done. without him grovelling at least.
It’s a shame our team is kinda shit otherwise would be a great tonic for them.
We need to do more of this. “Who are you? The sun? Right, out.”
Never seen a journalist be that upfront. Refreshingly honest and scummy at the same time.
Liverpool would have had him cancelled and TNT shut down la
What an unbelievably thick thing to say to a managers face. Punch worthy in fact. Yeah we like to see you in crisis so that you can lose one of the most prestigious jobs in world sports. What an absolute cnut! Ban him and make it public.
This is why nobody likes journalists. What an idiot.
This is why most members of the media deserve nothing but absolute contempt from managers during interviews.
You have access to one of the top minds in football and you ask him this shit?? Really?

Wonder if he’d have said the same to Fergie. The same man who refused to speak to the bbc for nearly a decade, and told a paper to feck off because they correctly reported we were after Wesley Sneijder.
He’d have made the journo phone his boss and tell him why TNT weren’t welcome at Old Trafford. Simpler times.

This is Matt Smith right? I sort of know what he was trying to say, but was clumsy with his phrasing and then stumbled again when challenged by Ten Hag.
That’s definitely Matt Smith, he’s been floating around the outskirts of English footballing presenting for 20 years doing the games no one’s interested in on itv4 and the like
This is what I was thinking. Probably?
Good on Erik, stick it in their mouth.
Love his reaction
And asked for the interview to be replayed.
What a strange question.
As @Ludens the Red said: He's a Liverpool fan. What happened wasn't clumsy. It was a Freudian slip. He just allowed what he was thinking to slip out, then tried to salvage it.
Its incredible he felt so comfortable to do it though. Can you imagine him having had the cojones to do that to Sir Alex?
As others have said, the club has let itself become a soft touch. You see it in the way the refs treat us. Its the easy call to go against United now, cos the likes of Pep and Klopp are more likely to let you know about it if you cross them.
Its time to bring back some of the old stuff. Karen Shotbolt should be on the phone to TNT letting them know what access their people will or, more appropriately, won't be having going forward.
Playing Devils advocate but I don’t think the journalist meant it like that. I think he meant ‘we like to call it a crisis’ rather than ‘we like you’re in a crisis’.
Thats how I interpreted it too
Nah, he’s a Liverpool fan and a scouser, just accidentally got caught saying what he meant. But he’s got the confidence to do it cos there’s feck all we’ll do about it.
My first thought as well. I don’t think he meant it literally.
Ten Hag totally went a bit Heisenberg in his response there
