Correct me if am wrong but is that even an advantage ? Just trying to understand how would these things help us. Genuine question.
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
ETH has calculated that it takes 134 steps from the changing room to the dugout, this is reduced to 118 now. Players now save 0.24 energy per second
They've always been there as long as I can remember... not sure why they've covered the brickwork up now though.
Should have just swapped the signs...
Yeah, we get his astronimcal wages off the books and he can go wherever he wants. I mean nobody is going to pay a fee for him it seems So what does it matter?
And then we need to replace him with someone else... which will cost us both transfer money and wages. What reason do we have to do that? Either a club pays up for Ronaldo or no deal. Are we the biggest shcmucks in the business or what?
This is the level of detail that gets me rather moist.
LVG came in and revamped the training pitches to match OT and had trees planted to block wind etc, little meticulous details that make a small difference that builds to bigger things.
The fact that EtH is this finite about the small things bodes well for me.

Will be funny if Donny walks straight to the new away seats.... :-)
Keep the Ronaldo stuff in the multiple Ronaldo threads dedicated to bashing him. Lets focus on ETH here.
I hope those Sikh lads get free seat changes to right behind the gaffer.
Attention to detail.. something we’ve badly missed since Fergie retired
Fergie wasnt that meticulous. He used to leave coaching and training under coaches like brian kidd, mcclaren, smith and queiroz. His forte was man management and tactics.
If that's the case, can't help wondering why it was not done before
Depends on how the manager sees the impact. ETH is probably looking at efficiency in the full matchday procedure where he wants the subs to have more time in their warm up process. There is also a psychological advantage by getting the subs to be near the home crowd.
As for the other managers, they felt that the preparation work in training and motivating the players for the game would be sufficient. The warm up process would not have differed much in their point of view.
I thought they were on the new side anyway? I remember the railing starting on the end guys right as you face the pitch from the south stand. I could have that wrong though.
Is he off to Brighton?
Don’t get me wrong his attention to detail is probably one of the best… but don’t you think sometimes you can overthink it? Like how does swapping dug outs effect the way we perform or improve us?
Not 100% sure to be honest mate, I just remember always seeing them directly behind Fergie when watching Match of the Day.
Yes I do. It’s about control, something ETH predecessors lacked over the squad.
This was apparently decided before we appointed ETH. He just signed off on it.
God I love managers who just sign off on things. Something we've badly missed the last 10 years
Nah, Rayo Valecano
If he gets Sesko and de Jong (still hopeful) it would have been a good window whatever happens with Ronaldo.
Not even tactics. More like overall strategy.
imo the vast majority of managers would never try and do something like swap dugouts before their first season. They'd be worried about giving the "right look" as a new manager, no big changes etc. ETH's come in and made logical decisions and is getting s**t done, which bodes well for me
So we moved on to a bloke not pulling up trees in Holland. Hurray
Two more advertising boards.
We had the crest on it before but it still looked classy. Not this though.
I agree, looks shite, wouldn't expect less from the club though if it was littered with a few new sponsors logos on it soon enough.
feck me you lot with an Ole username really are a special bunch.
These feckers sponsored a Munich mural. Price of everything, value of nothing.

No idea but my brain has decided it's because they're sponsored by Audi. Not sure that's the real reason
It's not sensitive, just pretty clear.
Ffs
Ole fans. Jose fans. Ronaldo fans. A triple alliance who will set aside their differences to celebrate ETH’s first defeatfeck me you lot with an Ole username really are a special bunch.

Don't you worry. Martial FC, Racing Club Maguire and Rashford Athletic will celebrate his first win like nobody's business.Ole fans. Jose fans. Ronaldo fans. A triple alliance who will set aside their differences to celebrate ETH’s first defeat
Usually those who like to group fans like that will be the ones to first start celebrating ETH's defeats, calling the others ETH fans ..Ole fans. Jose fans. Ronaldo fans. A triple alliance who will set aside their differences to celebrate ETH’s first defeat
Yet his winning % is only slightly lower that SAF and Mourinho.
I don't belive Ole was the right man for the job but let's not rewrite history.
The problem has never been the manager. It's always been those above him.
