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?
That's not really tanking, it's just rotating. And it's the kind of rotation you'd expect from any team at this stage of the Carabao Cup. Completely agree that ETH should heavily rotate, but probably won't.
That's baldist
Just learning som wholesome marketing tips im sure!
Whos that next to him?Think i know who might been leaking information out of the dressing room. I think he might have friends who have a bad influence.
Just a fan mate,called himself J-Dongz sumtin.
One of our young players
I'm more worried that we won't be able to tell the difference when we're "tanking" it.
So what is the problem? The coach or the players? I believe it is the players, I always remember Bruno was the only one pressing and he keeps waving his hands to other players to press. Weghorst even as a loan player was pressing quite properly when needed. I think it is likely the players. Having Hannibal made such a difference, I hope Mainoo can do likewise together with Mount, we may see a new dimension in our press.
I dont care about the cup, ETH needs to rest some of the players. Rashford, Casemiro, Bruno and Hoijund should rest. Play Garnacho, Amrabat, Mount if fit and Martial. It would be good for Pellestri to have a run out. Hannibal seems full of energy so he could have a go again. Maguire to start with Evans resting. It would tricky for fullback, who can we play? Call up youngsters for duty. I would go with that. Saturday is more important to win so we need to rest of our starters.
The game plan changes per game, but not completely. Hag will go with the plan that creates the most chances while limiting the other team.
We set up the same against Burnley as against Brighton, and that‘s fine because Burnley tries to play like Brighton right?
Why change tactics? We are trying to improve our pressing game and our opponent plays the same style. Seems like a no brainer.
It all looks underwhelming because we are in a difficult phase with bad luck, injuries, off the pitch issues and low confidence.
Eric ten Hag, worst manager ever. He’s a fraud and ugly bald cnut to boot. I’ve seen more football brains from my severely demented 97 year old grandmother. Under his tutorship the club has gone backwards, we’re playing the most pathetically boring football ever seen by man and even inflation has spiraled out of control. He’s failed to deal with Ronaldo, the invasion of the Ukraine and global warming. It’s no coincidence that the World’s oceans have warmed up to record levels during his reign. And he’s Dutch. I mean, feckin Dutch!! The most evil & incompetent people to walk the earth. Mind you, they did invent total football and counter pressing. In fact the Dutch are the tallest people in the World, are blind and eat cheese. Ten Hag is one of the World’s premier cheese makers and his cheese are some of the most critically heralded cheeses on the planet. And he told Sancho to feck off, he says errrr a lot, runs 10km and rides bikes. He’s United the squad behind him a regularly organizes wife & girlfriends swapping parties at his mansion in Cheadle. He’s the most influential person from Twente ever to set foot in Manchester and fought the 6 day war almost single handed. He discovered gravity, electricity and the Amazon. He even knocked out Joe Joyce in the third round this Saturday whilst running a World record in the women’s marathon the next morning. He’s clearly the greatest manager the World has ever seen. And it’s Eric ten Hag, Eric ten Hag for me. He’s by far the greatest manager, the World has ever seen.

To be fair the higher ups are probably as sick of the players as we are.
Not that you can trust the higher-up people's judgment but it is still the right way to go on for now.
Prejudice everywhere!
Given the number of his former players we've brought in, the squad rebuild is clearly designed around him. This group has been picked for ETH, by ETH. Makes no sense to get rid of him this early based on what we've seen (and have yet to see). Can't trust our powers that be to always act rationally but handing this freshly assembled team over to a new manager so quickly would be silly.
Why Højlund? He has played what, 150 minutes of football so far this season? If anything, he needs as much time as possible on the pitch so he can really gel with the team. He's 20, he's not in need of a rest after so little playing time. He just got back from summer break and then a month out.
There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.
He's just got back from an injury and started three games in a week, might be worth giving him a breather before the next load of must-wins.
Only a baldie can call another baldie baldie.
How many higher ups does it take to hire new higher ups if a higher up could hire higher ups?
Common sense.
A bald guy surely knows best how complicated a bald guy can be
Aaand this is where the club senior management stand up and go "Hold my beer".
We never really know or predict. At least, Pep and Klopp did it after a year. However, Pep got the unlimited support in everything one could get. Under the Glazers, it’s not the case. Three major signings per year, remember?
I feel like this statement ended badly for all of our post-Fergie managers.
Oh dear. The dreaded vote of confidence
100% behind the manager. As many had said, we are in the 5th manager post SAF. The problem is not the manager. Even Pep or Klopp will struggle here.
We need to look at the people in the board especially the DOF. Then, the lazy and toxic players culture in the club.
Changing manager will just bring us round and round.

No white text?
As opposed to 99% of other clubs who have had as many if not more manager changes during this time? Is the success of City and Liverpool over the years due to giving manager time or are they still in job because of success?
its not the United way.
You just quoted two club with very good football structure supporting the manager. For Liverpool, their rebuild is now taking shape and start to play excellent again.
Some Italian teams fire 3 managers in a season - do you want that?
Not sure what's the point in taking any stand, it's never players vs managers vs board. It's a team and all of them have pros and cons, it's not like we have SAF or Pep in charge and we can take any side blindly.
It's not managers because we have 5th manager post SAF but what about players? Every one of them had their own starting 11 and they are achieved success and failure at different levels.
Changing manager is not a problem as long as we have people with clue on building the squad and identifying the manager who can play better football.
100%. The key question is the board need to have a clue on what they are doing. If we simply change manager we will end up in the exact same situation after 2 years.
But we don’t so it is a problem.
Agree with this, but right now there are signs that the board has formed an alliance with the manager to fight the culture of entitlement that has taken hold of some parts of the dressing room.
