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?

Yeah, like I say, here’s hoping Real swoop in 2 or 3 years
Hard to suck it up even for that long right now, why did we have to be run into the ground when he was available. Sickening to see him doing it for a club bankrolled by sportswashing 14 years ago.
Yeah, those Germans and their U-boats.
VS a social institution takeover by a neo-liberal, monopolistic oligarch bank-rolled by the rentier class, which is earning high interest rates doing nothing productive?
At least their club is well run and their owners are pouring money into the city’s economy and infrastructure. Ours are just sucking the life out of us.
PARK LIFE
Had to google what that meant. I’m doing well, thank you. The result of the anglo-saxon media’s tendency to white-wash problems resulting from neo-liberalism is interesting to see. Too often, things are portrayed as black or white and the focus myopic. But this is getting out of topic.
We need to find taker and sign number 9
90th minute against Saints yesterday, Ronaldo was breaking on the ball with Rashford up with him on the shoulder of the last defender. Couldn’t have been an easier through ball to put Rashford in for a 1-on-1 with the keeper. Instead of playing the obvious ball forward, Ronaldo plays it wide so that Rashford has to go wide to get on the ball whilst contending with defender brought back into play by the wide ball. Is there any interpretation of what Ronaldo did that doesn’t stink of being in it for himself?
I hope so, yes. Way too many fans and peo0le actually in the day-to-day running of football clubs have come to expect us to do it. Damning.
Whose fault is that mate?
He didn't prepare because he fully expected it to be a waste of time with people he would never play with again.
Oops...
It's a farce and we are all losers in it. I don't even want the uptick in performance from those happy he has been benched. Long term you want none of those feckers either.

It's also outrageous that such an obvious mouthpiece article was published by Times. I'm not saying there's no nuances to the story but that piece is more PR than journalism.
The alternative to aging (for everyone) isn't good.
If he didn't care, he'd be like Martial -- out 3 games out of every 4.
It’s his fault for attempting to engineer a move. But that doesn’t change the reality that he didn’t have the same preseason training regime as the rest of the squad, which makes it obvious he wasn’t going to be ready and fit as the rest of the players. That is a recipe for a slow start for any player, much less a 37 year old.
We need to pick up a cheap striker
We should try Arnautovic..
Going to be so annoyed if we don’t get rid of this cnut.
Yeah we need a CF who wants to play here
The reason he's not arsed at the moment is he is still harbouring hopes of a move. He probably reasons that he just has put in enough effort to not look a total disgrace, while still making it clear he's not happy. This is his tactic.
We should not be panicked into making massive concessions because a player wishes to break his own agreement, for which he gets paid extortionate amounts. I'm sorry, but you should not be able to get your contract paid up for not doing any work because you simply cannot be arsed anymore. That's not how it should work with a club of our stature.
The club should play hardball. Either someone takes him, and all his wages, or he agrees to forgo his extra wages, or no deal. Not simply to take a stand, but because it also makes business and sporting sense and will work out best for us once the initial furore dies down.
He's not as powerful as he thinks he is because there is no way Cristiano Ronaldo can become irrelevant, a marginalised figure contributing nothing to the game. He needs to play football, and still wants to, which is his whole reason for agitation. We can sideline him until the attitude is correct and let's see who breaks first. We can afford Ronaldo, we can play without Ronaldo, he's not half as good as he thinks he is anymore. Just play the long game with Ronaldo and it will work out far better for us than paying half the idiots wages for going elsewhere.

I wonder if he has an underwhelming offer on the table that he knows he can take if it comes down to it. And obviously we are now approaching a time where he may accept such an offer.
That team being a side paying him low relative wages with low prospects in terms of winning a trophy, but guaranteed CL football.
Napoli fits that bill. Let's see.

I can't see why anyone would but let's hope so.
If no one wants him then i can see him seriously consider the Saudis offer as a last resort, if the rumoured contract was true

Speechless reading that.
Even ignoring mentality. Purely going off what they provide on the pitch... He isn't good enough. I genuinely don't think he'd improve any premier league side, given what the relegation strugglers need is hard working target men more.
He thinks those couple of hours alongside Santos in the 2016 Euro Final make him an elite coach, this guy's ego ffs.
A return for Cristiano Ronaldo to Sporting has been much discussed in Portugal, yet their coach has let his opposition to a transfer become known to local media. Rúben Amorim has intimidated that he might walk out on his contract were Ronaldo signed. @DuncanCastles
There's no way he was joining them. It was bollocks, like the Atlético news this summer.
The club would have loved it, Welcome to Manchester, etc. but Guardiola would have walked, I've no doubt about that.

In fairness, that's not just about Ronaldo. They just shipped off one of his best players to Wolves after assurances he would stay another season. I'd also take issue with Mendes freely chopping and changing my squad in late August.A return for Cristiano Ronaldo to Sporting has been much discussed in Portugal, yet their coach has let his opposition to a transfer become known to local media.

That thundercnut is actually brokering a terrible deal for Ohsimen just so we pay Ronaldo's wages at Napoli and probably his CL wages, not the discounted ones he disagrees with.

One spearheads the attack for a team that regularly reaches the semi finals of the CL, and the other literally has some ownership of the other club whilst being one of the most exciting talents in world football and both are in the early early 20s. There's every chance they break Ronaldo's record.
I am wondering what Ronaldo wants to achieve through those messy circuits?!
Bloody hell! We aren't fit to breath the same air as him.
There’s no way we’re paying all his wages and letting his transfer, obviously.
i wonder if his explosive tell all interview is all that above
Offering him to every team for the second time in case they forgot he was available.Tweet

It was a joke referring the movie. You probably wasn’t born when it was released though….
