Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
I agree. I actually want to see a significant change in style during his 1st season, especially if he gets 4-5 new signings.
That's easy, you convert pounds to euros, then back to pounds, then to euros again. Do that about 10 times and you have £500m. It's basically an infinite money glitch.
Just like United were lucky to finish second while everyone else was shit
Money is not the be all and end all. We’ve seen that with WoodwardBall. It’s the recruiting set-up. These things take time to put into place.
Let’s not forget the recruitment set-up at Liverpool nixed Klopp’s desire to buy Julian Brandt in favour of their sourced Mo Salah.
Carragher becoming a better football pundit than United legends is not something I would have put my money on 15 years ago, but here we are
It's also rumoured that he will get rid of Ten hacks from the playing staff.
I am trying that with my bank account, but I think I am doing something wrong...
any player that doesn't like or care about the appointment can piss off....their performances have more than proven most of them could give a flying fuk anyway
The trick is to not change the symbol at the start, keep it as £ after the conversion
I’m kinda glad we didn’t have people like Carragher playing press mind games back in Fergie’s day or we’d probably never have had what we had.
I'm sure only about one pun in ten did.
Ajax with Ten Hag in 4 full seasons: 1st place 4 times, 2 cup wins, twice past group stage in the CL.
Ajax hadn't won the league for 4 seasons before ETH. Ajax hadn't reached the knockout stage of the CL since 05/06. Ajax hadn't won the league and cup double since 2001/02. Ajax hadn't won the league and reached the knockout stage of the CL since LvG was there in the mid 90's. Ajax have only ever shown a similar level of dominance in the league with points, goals, performances, success with their greatest ever managers (Cruyff, Michels, etc). Ajax have averaged 3 league goals per game since he joined, or an average of over 100 goals per season for them, over a 4 year period. They passed 100 goals in the league in 09/10 with Suarez before he went to Liverpool, but the last time they regularly had a team up there was LvG's great teams and then the early 80's team.
Its really not a list comparable to other managers who achieved success and then failed elsewhere. ETH has shown dominance across ever competition, playing a great style of football, has them performing as much more than the sum of their parts, going toe to toe and outplaying pretty much any team they play even if they are a much wealthier side, and all this every year despite constantly losing his best players, so needing to adapt. They still play with the same ideas, just with adjustments to different set of players. They'll dominate Madrid and Juve, lose De Ligt and De Jong, and then go out and outplay Chelsea away the following year and only get unlucky with referee decisions. He's a fantastic coach, but of course there is always unknowns in how he will adapt to the prem. We'll see. But it's the best possible appointment.
Hes been speaking to Ralf and Ajax do have scouts by the way
Very good
Yeah, I’m off to watch WWE.
This.
Should be pretty obvious it shouldn't take five or six years.
Think we've averaged roughly three signings per summer over the last few years? Assuming that stays the same, after 5/6 years that would be 15-18 new players. Add in youth products and it would effectively be two brand new full elevens. The idea that it would take that much is deranged.
Even Rangnick, openly critical as he's been of our current situation, has said it shouldn't take near that long. His suggestion of three transfer windows (which I take as three summers) seems more reasonable.
He needs to bring in his own fitness coach and set up and I actually think that may be one of his more demanding concerns.
Our players severely lack in the physical department and aren't up to it executing this style of football so unless he changes the entire roster (unlikely) we need to considerably improve what we already have.

Yep. Don’t trust him one bit.
Oh yeah, I'm sure Ajax spend their scouting resources on going to our u18s games.
Ralf has only seen him for a few months and garnacho himself has only been in good form very recently. It's clearly clickbait.
Yeah but when he does commentary he sounds like someone’s standing on his bollocks
He's a moron. Just kept banging on about how you wouldn't see Pep/Klopp need an interview and that it'd be disrespectful... Probably thought the interview were questions like 'tell us about yourself', 'what are your hobbies?'.
If we had multiple candidates in mind (ETH, Poch, Enrique etc), how else would we select a favourite without talking to them?
They scout plenty of u18s they sign alot of young players its their model
Well, well, well. He certainly is my preferred choice, but I'm still only cautiously enthusiastic about this. I simply don't feel confident that our players won't sink another manager...
Love this appointment! Ready to support and back him.
Wish him all the best, and I do hope fans will ignore all naysayers and other outside influences and just offer our support. He's got a huge job on his hands, let's not let him start with any toxicity.
It's good to have someone more technically adept to get our team playing something resembling football

This is where the club hierarchy need to get off their arses and lay down the law to our players. They should back the manager very publicly irrespective of any disagreements with Erik - they can sort shit behind the scenes with him, but publicly, don't let any negative narrative get out of hand. Stop it right in its tracks. If a player consistently leaks, then he should face some sort of consequences.
4 groups of 1 would sound about right.
I've only watched this Sky Sports team a few but I definitely know who you're talking about.
It is a huge issue/concern as is our infrastructure. We are so far behind
So our rivals wouldnt swap their very succesfull managers for spmeone who never managed in England. Wow, groundbreaking stuff. Like United wouldnt consider another manager when Fergie was here…
This will definitely happen. However, I am very much hoping our fans don't give them any engagement. We cannot go forward in a forever toxic environment imho.
I'll take the infraction on this one.....
The Ten Commandments.

And where do you see a connection to ten Hag?
Bloody hell that's how he rolls?! Dancing!
That new kit would be better if it had a normal collar.I'll take the infraction on this one.....

Everyone has known Ten Hag was coming since Ole went. The very week he was let go Ten Hag’s interview answers were heavily weighted towards him leaving at the end of the season, so I’ve no doubt that he’s well acquainted with our age groups teams because he’s had this job in his sights for 6 months or so already.
That isn’t to say he particularly has high hopes of Garnacho (who he possibly also scouted heavily when he was leaving Atleti) but I’d be amazed if he doesn’t have a strong idea of many already.
Some of your squad may look upon the remainder of the season as an audition to play their way into the squad for the season ahead but I'm sure the new Manager won't fall for that one.
Those who have downed tools in the past or don't have the guts for the challenge have to be dispensed with at the soonest sensible time.
