I’m really annoyed he was allowed to sell McTominay before he left. Properly bled United and doing very well at Napoli.
Ineos sold mctominay, ten hag said he wanted to keep himI’m really annoyed he was allowed to sell McTominay before he left. Properly bled United and doing very well at Napoli.
true. My cup is half full though not empty today!Also a chance of him being the most unsuccessful coach at United.
He didn't want to sell McTominay. The board decided to sell him as he was one of the few we could get good money for, was getting to the age where that wouldn't be true for much longer, and is simply quite limited as a footballer.I’m really annoyed he was allowed to sell McTominay before he left.

This can't possibly be true.
If it is, I can't believe that ETH was allowed to continue for so long.
I guess standards and expectations have fallen quite low.
I can see him staying till season end at least, if he wants to that is, and then he can make a call in the summer if he wants to go or not.What's gonna happen to Ruud after Anorim is appointed? I feel bad for him in some sense, upended his life to go back to Manchester and then is out on his back after 3 months
He was already out of work when we appointed him, so hardly upended his life to bring him here. I suspect he was smart enough to know that there was always a risk of this happening considering how poorly our previous campaign had gone (FA cup win withstanding). Nonetheless you'll expect he'll be well compensated and is still young enough to explore his managerial prospects elsewhere.What's gonna happen to Ruud after Anorim is appointed?

Mitten said today that he can't say for sure who hired him. INEOS or Ten Hag.What's gonna happen to Ruud after Anorim is appointed? I feel bad for him in some sense, upended his life to go back to Manchester and then is out on his back after 3 months
Ruud confirmed himself that Ten Hag called him. Wonder if he regrets not taking the Burnley manager role?Mitten said today that he can't say for sure who hired him. INEOS or Ten Hag.
And Ten Hag said the same, but Wilcox wanted Van Der Gaag gone because him and Ten Hag were too similar and apparently heard Ruud was available and looking also.Ruud confirmed himself that Ten Hag called him. Wonder if he regrets not taking the Burnley manager role?

Long lens all the way from HollandWas this taken with a Nintendo DS?
Honestly this exact scenario with him in a little interim stint was extremely predictable. He would've known that too.What's gonna happen to Ruud after Anorim is appointed? I feel bad for him in some sense, upended his life to go back to Manchester and then is out on his back after 3 months
I think he stays on for the remainder of this season at least.What's gonna happen to Ruud after Anorim is appointed? I feel bad for him in some sense, upended his life to go back to Manchester and then is out on his back after 3 months
Never truly wanted him in the first place and didn't understand the hype. Was more pleased that we moved on from Ragnick than acquiring Ten Hag but he will always be a trophy winning United manager so gotta give him appreciation for that. Made some strange decisions. I never understood why he came to United and didn't bring his Ajax style, citing we dont have the type of players and are more suited to transition when he signed a significant portion of our players.

A few quotes from the press conference he did for the Leicester game have come out.
He got asked - "You won this competition a couple of years ago, you've taken great pride in winning trophies in both seasons, if you win a trophy in a third season does that make the season a success again for you?"
Reply - "Definitely, it is about trophies, I don't want to go into this debate again. There are not so many trophies you can win, if you win a trophy in top football, that is the most important, that is what the fans expect, what we expect - to win a trophy. We have had five opportunities and one we missed, that was the Community Shield. There are still four to go."
Kind of sums it up really, league position didn't seem to matter if we won a trophy at the end of the season.

That is genuinely fecking awful.We've won only 11 LEAGUE GAMES IN 2024.
That's from January 2024 to November 2024
How is it toxic? Because you want to believe that and we're not winning games? It's amazing how much winning or losing drives the narrative.
Most of the players that came in are Ten Hag's signings. Why would he sign toxic players who don't like him and don't want to play for him? I would agree with you if we still had the likes of Pogba here but we don't have any characters like him any more.
I don't know about you but I've seen the lads try every single game this season and there have been no rumours about any issues in the dressing room. With the likes of Wilcox and Ashworth now working on the squad building you can guarantee any toxic influence (like Sancho) was shown the door over the summer.
Why are you even including caretaker managers Giggs, Carrick, and van Nistelrooy in that list?That’s really my point. A manager brought in and can’t get results off or on the pitch.
How else do we explain this? Just a list of awful managers?
Moyes
Giggs
van Gaal
Mourinho
Solskjær

It has to be true. We have literally won 3 league matches in 3 months this season, so winning 8 in 5 months last season is very much believable.This can't possibly be true.
If it is, I can't believe that ETH was allowed to continue for so long.
I guess standards and expectations have fallen quite low.
Ole perfectly hit the nail on the head when he said sometimes winning a trophy could mask issues within the team and the performance. He was absolutely spot on and it came true less than 2 years after he said it.Ole said trophies are for egos and ETH is all about trophies no matter the league position. The truth is probably in the middle.
I get more of what Ole is saying more now though.
Take Jose out of that list and tell me what they'd won and who'd they'd managed in the last 10 years before joining United. You'll have your answer after that.That’s really my point. A manager brought in and can’t get results off or on the pitch.
