We already sacked our vibes specialist manager. Now its nothing but Bruno -> McTominay and inshallah.
I can see it happening. This club is stuck in the past and is too slow to see what is happening. The fan base too actually.

He will get another season because he will fluke an FA cup and then we have to start year zero again in 2026

I don’t really understand how the players aren’t catching any flack compared to the manager. People are vastly overstating how much control a manager has in the middle of a game, especially from a winning position. If you’re losing you can go gung-ho etc.

What’s he supposed to tell the players? You listen to any ex-pros and they tell you it’s always about the players once the game has started.

That said, he’s still gotta go.
The players are reflecting the manager, a complete loser. It is not a coincidence anymore.

Honestly at this point, you have to be a troll to still want ETH as manager next season.

I just cannot fathom a genuine Utd fan watching that and thinking yeah, lets have another season of this fecking shite.

That's me out. Pathetic.

There are parts that have kept me on. His Ajax days, his promotion of youth and lack of rotation (I hate overly too many changes between matches)

But we are the easiest team in all the land to play against, It would be easier to forgive being so open while defending if the attack was cohesive and exciting but there is none of that.

There's no danger of that but we will stall so long that Bayern, Liverpool, Juventus and co will have scooped up all the good options.

Despite everyone with a brain seeing that Ten Hag was cooked months ago.

I'm not sure we've seen worse in-game management. The score could literally be anything in our favour and you still know the wheels are only ever a couple of minutes away from coming off.

Aside from chucking McTominay off the bench as poundland Fellaini to nick a goal, it feels like 90% of the changes he makes in a game make us worse. Any tactical tweak from the opposition manager and there's not a hint of a clue what to do about it.

His substitutions changed the game.

And he can't react to tactical changes made by the opposition manager. In this case a middling Championship manager.

This, would love to give Ole another chance at a trophy, think he deserves one, I enjoyed his time as manager more than any other time post Fergie
Wierd post. Ole had his chance. Let EtH play his final and then sack him.

Eth has ran out of excuses for me, it's sabotage with his awful subs. I've seen enough, time to bring someone else is.

I know loads want him sacked (including me) but let's be realistic here, he isn't going anywhere until the end of the season now. If we'd lost this then maybe, but not now.

Nothing stopping us announcing a new manager search for next season.

Not giving him a contract extension is doing the same thing just not openly.

Let's do a reverse Spurs and employ Jose in time for the final.

I actually think bringing in a caretaker would allow us to better evaluate the squad. Ten Hag’s tactics are so bad, it’s hard to properly evaluate the players. I mean, we’re talking a full overhaul of the manager, coaching staff, recruitment team and squad.

So much of today is on him. His decisions are baffling. His tactics are poor. His coaching…do we get coached? I honestly am so bored of the rinse and repeat shit show each week. Our front 3 plus the mids are so disjointed. No play between them. No decision making. hated watching today. He either needs to change drastically or go.

It's reached that point when I'm starting to hate him.

You'd expect he'll be gone in a month or so but this club can always surprise you in a negative way.

He should be sacked, but the problem is that players like Rashford will be given another chance again. So many of these players need binning and they won't with another manager.

Luckily there's no danger of anyone wanting to come to us over them anyway.

I can't remember the last time I've actively looked forward to a manager of ours being replaced. He's on a different planet. I'm tired of his decision making, I'm tired of his lack of standards, and I'm tired of his lack of preparation for a game like this. We were 3-0 up FFS! Utter embarrassment.
Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho were not that long ago. I was ambivalent about Ole.

Based on what exactly? Short of a shocking decision in our favour (against 115 charges no less), we're not beating City. Not after we almost bottled a 3-0 lead against the mighty Coventry.
That's not how football works
