Being a cnut as he's tired of being mugged off? I can dig it...
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

He isn't scared, his ego got a little bit bruised.
If you are going to ban certain outlets, thats not a bad three to start with.
Are you comparing the position from which SAF was banning journalists with this guy?
It's like a janitor telling who can attend the board meetings.How was he mugged off?
Extremely limited experience? Of having managed the most mercilessly demanding club in football and winning a bunch of trophies? Or having been a GOAT footballer who commands global respect across the game? Of course you would rather have your Pep Guardiola is my idol who has managed a couple of trophies in a farmer's league and got found out the moment he stepped outside his level. Sheesh.
It's not about handling it, it's about respect. Sir Alex did it many times. Getting disrespected and doing nothing about it looks weak. People have this belief that putting up with disrespect somehow makes you a strong person. Ironically that's the weakest thing a person can do. People only tell you that putting up with disrespect is strong so they can continue to disrespect you.
Yikes, 15th. Is that even accurate?
Is a journalist criticising shit performances and shit results mugging someone off?
He’s not being disrespected, he’s being criticized for doing badly in a highly scrutinized job.
No?
The mirror is blatantly anti united Scouse loving rag
Yep. I’d make it club policy to have them banned permanently moving forward regardless of who is manager. Absolute gutter trash.
Press conferences are largely a waste of time anyway. They dont benefit the media as they could do because they waste the opportunities by asking pointless questions and digging for sensationalist soundbites, which they rarely get. I'm sure managers loathe them.
This is the so called disrespect he was banned for.

Notice he plays poorly or looks poor when paired with McTominay. Seems better with Mainoo.
Casemiro was never known for pace. Everyone keeps slating him for his performances this season when it’s more likely that it’s an impossible job to cover that much ground when your 8 and 10 bomb forward and your CBs are so deep. Ten Hag has tried to mitigate that by pinching Dalot in, but then we get done by balls into the channel. The tactics are a fecking mess for abilities / attributes of our players. Seriously, I cannot understand why Ten Hag still has a job. After two seasons and a new GK, we still can’t play through a high press consistently. feck me.
Very few players shine or don't look like pumpkins when they are isolated. Pep full field man-marking provided us some hilarious moments.
I do think Casemiro is noticeably a step slower than last season (which was always going to be expected). But yes it doesn't help that he's lost a step AND has been tasked with even more ground to cover than last season.
Honestly I've sort of liked his CB performances the last couple of games, at least it helps his distribution immensely when he can have the entire pitch in front of him instead of having to turn and be a pressing trigger receiving it from our back 4.
Well he's not wrong but Luckhurst is a Twat so I'm all for banning him permanently. Regardless of who the manager is.
I'd be surprised if he was a step slower. I think that it's a more a case of having more distance to cover and facing opponents that have better head starts.
Casemiro and Fred from the 70th minute forward was a really good pairing with Fred being the attack dog and Casemiro cleaning up behind him. Never thought I’d say this, but we really miss Fred this season
Definitely worthy of a ban.
Delusional vs twat. Hmm, tough choice.
Only one of them will be back next season though.
Yeah against inferior opposition it’s nice to have him back there but I shudder to imagine him there against the better teams going forward.
He's said nothing there that hasn't been said on the Caf. ETH is in damage control.
He’s standing up for the club.
The whole ‘cult’ thing is very childish. The fact you didn’t append with FC is, at least, something
Arteta had a clear style of play that was positive. If we didn't have this horrid basketball style I would be more willing to give Ten Hag a chance.
Ideally neither
Sure. But there’s the Caf. And there’s journalism.
But they weren't criticizing the club, they were criticizing him.
Seems his fans are just like him
Ten Hag versus Slot next season then
He'll surely be gone this summer. If he's still about then the standards are in the gutter and we just have to accept we've gone from being a top team to a top 7 team. When teams like Spurs, Villa and probably even lower placed teams have a better coach than us, then it's time to just accept that we are what we are.
To be fair if there's one thing that'll make wasting another season under ETH a bit more interesting it will be entering into an all Dutch race-to-the-bottom with Liverpool.
Obviously ETH has a big head start.
Obviously ETH has a big head start.
I was going to post that but saw “Standard Sport” in his bio and gave it a swerve.
Noticed that journo is followed by many reliable journos though
They asked if our win was embarrassing if I remember right?But they weren't criticizing the club, they were criticizing him.
Seems his fans are just like him
Very possible, I just see him miss tackles and interceptions that he seemed to get to 18 months ago for us. Either way it's obvious he's not Madrid Casemiro and it's suicide just leaving him to cover the entire width of the pitch on his own like prime Kante.
It’s almost as if every journalist “knows feck all” - but as soon as it’s perceived bad news it’s believed
At this rate, we’re at the risk of claiming every journalist who goes through years of training is just making up bollocks. It’s a terrible view to take
