The man hasn't even started and is already making enemies
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
I'm sorry. Yes but no.
Whilst in most seasons i would agree that a good manager can make an average player good and a good player great (and the contrary), with so many bad apples this season is the exception to prove the rule.
Having players regularly this season:
- bleating to the media because they don't get their way
- repeatedly making themselves unavailable for matches and training
- being struck down by phantom injuries
- jogging around the pitch when picked or brought on and not putting the necessary effort in both on and off the ball
These are all professionals paid hundreds of thousands a week to do their job. I don't care if they feel Ragnick is a supply teacher who's stealing a living, they are paid by the club to go out there and do their best for the shirt, the club, the fans.
Some of these players have already thrown multiple managers under the bus. If Keane was still in the dressing room some of them would have ended up at A&E.
For god sake Eric, get them out and get players in who care about the team and doing well collectively.
Ooh new mystery coach joining soon. Exciting!
Some/many of them are already on the way out. If you think anyone would let as much as ten players leave at once before a season of potentially 60 games, I don’t think you connect enough with reality.
And no one would hold their first press conference, not having met the squad even, announcing heads to be rollen, regardless of the situation. Not Pep, nor Klopp, nor Fergie, nor anyone else. The idea is just ludicrous.
Please be Rene!!

Money is on Meulensteen.
Just pathetic, not even worth being annoyed with.
We're actually getting excited for the arrival of new backroom staff additions, that's how shit things have been at United for the past few years. When Fergie was here I don't think anyone gave a feck who his coaching staff were.
Did he smack the car with his mic at the end there? 
Someone needs to mock up Alan in his crazed fan’s living room
This video is exactly what we need.
Good job, United media team.

So I used to watch these chiropractor videos to relax, and, well...
Just see for yourself

I wonder how many hands he shook and if he did some hand warm-up exercises before starting that day.
The squad is going to be significantly smaller even without making major sales. Rebuilding a team spirit and then having zero tolerance for leaks etc should sort that crap out quickly.
I love what a weird little bloke he seems. Can't wait to see where he can take us.
Is this the MP for Manchester?
The media are a joke! He’s been here less then a week and there already calling him ‘Erik Ten Month’ meaning they think he’ll be sacked very quick. Disrespectful. He’s going to show everyone up and the more hate we get means there starting to be afraid of us.
Not true. Glad Phelan is gone though - thanks Mike.
That tweet says he may be staying on somehow, what the hell is the Phelan obsession?
Probably ETH's meet and greet plus stadium tour.

Ten hag will be fed to the dogs, everyone is waiting for the right opportunity to ridicule him and show him as a bit of a clown who is out of his depth at utd.
He will need full support of the fans to not only take on the press and others but also the snakes in the dressing room with their pals in the media.
However, I fear that is too much to ask from our fans anymore.

Lots of completely baseless points. As long as he doesn't look completely out of his depth like some of our former managers here, he will be fine. Our fans are as patient as it gets.

These players would make prime saf look out of his depth, but then again prime saf wouldn't have these snakes anywhere near the dressing room.
Basically turd cannot be polished.
The same fans who clapped Moyes and Ole off the pitch as we got bodied 4-0 by Liverpool?
That press conference from Ten Hag was not particularly impressive
Ralf's was brilliant and look how that turned out.
It doesn't work with this video considering what the original is about.
Gonna assume Phelan's staying on as another person for ETH to lean on re: Premier League experience/knowledge of the Man Utd behemoth.
What waswrong with it?
That's hilarious, and true.
Is that Cotterill again ?
Rangnick's pressers were fantastic but he was still a crap coach for us. It means nothing.
Craig Burley with some rare positivity.
