What made the van Gaal situation classless was the fact that it leaked during the final, not that he was sacked. If they decide to sack him, it should be done in the days after the final. Waiting for however long just to have some class could be disastrous if the person INEOS wants goes to another club in the meantime.
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

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?
Poch is Argentine
Which Portuguese Chelsea manager has gotten sacked recently?
I think 3 days to 1 week after the final. Let them enjoy the win.
Close enoughPoch is Argentine
Maybe Di Marzio is so confident because Dan Ashworth CC’d him into an E-mail he wasn’t meant to see.
Though poch is not portugese.. but if this means we are winning the fa cup, i am all in
Ten Hag was always going to be sacked at the end of the season. He is gone. If we win the FA Cup with him, all the better, he leaves on a high.
He needs clicks. Just made a cool $10k from that nothingburger post.
This & a GE election announcement on the same day? SJR will be spitting with anger
It’s smart for Ratcliffe to say the things he’s said. He needs to buy time. Another thing that is at least somewhat encouraging is that we seem to have less leaks. We are linked with fewer players, we have less sourced news in general. I genuinely think they know what they will do with Ten Hag, but they’ve closed ranks. Hopefully the decision to sack Ten Hag will be swift and professional with minimal drama.
Hope the news is true.
INEOS are going to rebuild this squad over the next few years. Is he really the one to be trusted in coaching that squad?
In two years we have not seen a well organised, well coached, team put out on the pitch. We have got by on moments, because our players are generally more talented than than the ones we are up against.
If he can't get a tune out of the players he has hand picked, they why do we think he will do any better with ones that are being selected for him?
I think he has lost the respect and attention of a lof of the current squad, be it with inconsistent disciplinary actions, weird tactics or consistently complaining about the players that are unavailable to injury. He would be better served focusing on what we have, which with a bit of organisation should still be enough to beat the mid table clubs we often lose against.

Doesn't have a clue as usual.
Leak is unfortunate, but ETH surely knows he's done given his the seasons ended up. Makes little difference.
Tbh, i don't believe that Erik's situation is "completely opened" with one game to play. Ineos hired "best people in business" and i doubt that they still didn't decide about him and future manager.
The news should not leek, but minds have to be made up.
There are a ton of clubs that are looking for managers. The club need to be sounding out candidates now.
Cant wait for the FA cup final, which we are unlikely to win. And even if we were to, would that be down to a Ten Hag managerial masterclass? More likely a backs to the wall performance and we nick a goal on the counter.
I still think he's known his time is up for a while. This news is probably leaked because Ten Hag's agent will be lining him up for the jobs becoming available.
Di Marzio from deep. Matter of days until he is gone.
Get him gone. Hopefully he can go to Bayern and show us what we've missed on.
Poor Kane will never win anything
Fair enough mate I'd agree, I wish this news had been kept secret until after the final.
Granted the DiMarzio report could be nonsense but Ten Hag's job is definitely on the line.
Careful, his fans will savage you.
Now that you mention, that's another bonus.
The timing doesn't make sense. Its either City's camp trying to affect our performance in the final or we have dumb owners letting this sensitive info leak.

LVG was better in every singe way and was sacked after an FA cup win, no way this bloke survives.
It was obvious, wasn't it?
If they had decided to keep him for another year, they'd have announced it already, there is no advantage keeping it secret.
But why would they want to keep the worst manager we had in the past 30 years? Saving a little money makes no sense in this case, Ten Hag has already wasted enormous amounts of money.

So much anger and tears if his not sacked. I fear for some of you guys
Or the very obvious one that you missed, Ten Hag’s agency putting it out there that he’s available next week so all you clubs looking for a manager don’t be too hasty in appointing someone.
I think if the deluge of experienced managers didn’t just come available he’d have probably scraped another year by the skin of his teeth.
Potter
Nah he is Dutch
I don't know about the announcement thing. You get the odd vote of confidence from a board towards a manager, which often results in them getting sacked anyway soon after, but most clubs don't come out and say someone is staying or even acknowledge speculation. Announcements are for sackings only and the new appointment the vast majority of the time.
Would like to see a change, and there's every chance we will but if he was staying I wouldn't expect them to tell us.

can’t sack before the final and can’t sack after the final. When can we sack him?
So he might go, but might stay - what a waste of 50 seconds.
At half time
