I really wouldn't mind on an interim. I really liked the guy at Brighton.

No way the club will pay for an interim while McClaren is on the staff. If Ten Hag is sacked, McClaren will take charge until a new permanent manager comes in.
Jim needs to make a phones call tonight. We can't continue with ETH simply because the ownership situation will take at minimum another 6-8 weeks to close due to the Fit and Proper test.
Keeping ETH risks a purple patch happening that could see him getting another season.
And considering his stats this season are worse than Neville's Valencia I think we all know that ETH can't continue to be the manager.
We have been delaying the inevitable for months now. Had we acted earlier the season may have been salvageable to be something decent.

Great news for the club. While some on here feel we sack too many mangers if you look at some other top clubs they sack much sooner and for much less.
The sad fact about football is if a manager ain't working they shouldn't last very long at all. It's a cut throat business and we have let many managers stay way past when the writing was on the wall.
We've now done the same for ETH. Been delaying the inevitable for months.

Couldn’t agree more.
Difficult circumstances or not, we have a manager that has presided over 13 losses before the New Year with a possibility it gets to 14 or even 15. That in itself is a sackable offence.
To sign off before Christmas means it's today, rejoice!
Big day today!
Big day tomorrow.
If Jim'll Wreck It's choice of replacement is Graham Potter, he should phone himself a taxi.
every man and his dog creamed over the idea of EtH and look where we are.
so I am cautiously optimistic about Potter if everybody here is against him.
'Cautiously optimistic' is not optimism, it's just a fudge. Admit it. You want the current boss out regardless.
We should be looking to improve, not take needless risks on proven failures in the name of phoney optimism.
Russian Christmas, which is on 7th January

If you want everyone on here to be against it, why not Southgate?
Potter did well at Brighton where the football structure was established and he was assessed as fitting the style they were going for. He failed at Chelsea when he was brought in in the early days of a new regime before the footballing project had taken shape. It would be madness to bring him in here in similar circumstances.
The rumours are most likely aggregator fluff, designed to gauge reactions but it could become something worse.
What exactly are Potter's qualifications and why would they appeal to Ratcliffe?
His work at BHA has already been surpassed whereas his work at Chelsea was an unmitigated flop.
The only firm qualification seems to be his nationality, and how it figures with Monaco resident Sir Jim's nationalistic mindset. A British coach for a British team. We'll prioritise British for the sake of it.
If United are serious about getting back on their perch, they need to eschew such bollocks and forge our own identity. Don't like it? Don't care. We're here to win first and foremost.
Ineos' backroom reshuffle is a good start but absolutely obvious. What is crucial is their choice of manager.
Sacking EtH is one thing. Hiring a lesser coach, for such regressive reasons, is another.
Shocked to see a few people saying this. I don’t see this happening in a million years.
I ain’t into self harming, he’s never shown anything in my opinion.
As for Potter, he’s at least shown an ounce of excitement in previous stints and I refuse to let Chelsea define him, they are worse than us.
Unzipped and ready.
The club and fan base will eat him up alive.
Outside of the internet we have the most patient fan base in the world, hence why we stick to what’s not working for so long.
and players/staff don’t fail here because of the “pressure of being at Manchester United” they fail because the club is ran like shit.
Australians celebrate Christmas in July too, just saying.
Christmas eve. My first feeling on waking up was anger at John Murtough. This has got to end.
And to the above: Get a fecking grip. Changing the manager before they've shook up the football department would be the height of idiocy. Also cannot believe there are people who want Potter. Hard pressed to think of someone who's a worse match for this particular squad and this particular situation.

Now that you've said it, yeah that must be the day.
Until Rashford, Sancho, Maguire the list goes on are ruthlessly forced out the door the circus will continue.
Keep the manager get the toxicity out.

Fairytale of Ten Hag
It was Christmas Eve Jim,
Down at Carrington,
Murtagh says to me, we won’t see another one.
And then he sang a song,
You’re getting sacked tomorrow,
I turned my face away, and dreamed of the Eredivise..
Got on a lucky one,
Lost by two goals to one,
I’ve got a feeling, this year we’ll be top four,
So happy Christmas,
I love you Jimmy
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come..
Ye turn him into Eric Five Hag
It’s unbelievable you managed to enter an odds or evens competition, let alone win it, with math skills like these.
The boys in the MUFC squad are downing tools again,
And the fans keep turning up,
For groundhog day..
Hes the mate of the drug baron of bermondsey, Brailsford, who is likely to be running the sporting side of the club if jim gets his way.
Nothing quite sums up the absolute calamity of this club currently than BBC being leaked this was set to be done middle of November and it still not being done over 7 weeks fecking later. Everything around the club is a total fecking shit show that never goes to plan.
Well done.
i think we can finish the song off together?
Classic. Now United's dysfunctionality is welded into my yuletide spirit......And the boys from the MUFC choir are thinking of payday,
Yes the footballs crap,
But the fans keep turning up,
So who cares anyway.
The boys of the New York Stock Exchange are chasing a payday,
And the bells are ringing out for the close of trade.
I reckon Blanc will be the one making footballing decisions.
They've got pace, they've got Sheikhs, dodgy rivers I'm told,
And the teams pass right through, it's no place for the old,
When you first came along to the Premier League,
You promised me glory was waiting for me

You were handsome, you were pretty
King of Amsterdam City
When Jong finished playing they’d be howling for more,
Fletcher was grinning and Murtough was singing
Arnold watched on from his local bar..
