Didn’t know this. Yeah you’re right
The Guardian - Manchester United to sack Erik ten Hag after the FA Cup Final
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
-
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?

See ya later baldy, you won't be missed
Absolutely disgraceful to have this leaked before the final after holding it off for months. Shambles from this club, but on par for the course.
Why are you so quick to assume it's anyone at the club leaking it to journalists? The fact is you have no idea who is responsible, yet you call others lowlives for refusing to jump the gun and making baseless accusations
Yeah it's nuts what people will accept if it backs up some preconceived view.Random twitter account: It was the Glazers!
Redcafe posters: "100% sport control", "That's disturbing"
Simple truth is very few people know what is happening/ has happened and it's certainly not some random posting on X. People need to get a bit of a grip and wait to see what happens. It's so easy for people to get hooked by trolls and grifters these days.
I'm very disappointed this one didn't work out. Really thought he had it in him, especially after last season. But his transfers have been disastrous and our football even worse, it just had to happen, a shame it's before the fecking final.
Indeed, seems like horrible timing.
It would, but if the Glazers have ceded control of sporting matters, I would have thought it was INEOS's decision to make.
I’m guessing it’s either Sancho or Chelsea that leaked it. Sancho for obvious reasons or Chelsea to disrupt us from taking their EL spot. The journalist is also closer to Chelsea
This is a terrible fecking source, why are people believing it? And why are you posting it?
I can’t say that I’m surprised. It’s a shame that we’ve notably declined from last year. Post League Cup win I gave him the benefit of the doubt for the hectic schedule.
But that opening game against Wolves this season pretty much set the tone for the season. It was a really concerning performance and I don’t think anybody could have expected it to have not changed after that, especially after he changed things after that Brentford game and was rightfully applauded for it.
But for whatever reason he hasn’t changed it this season. He’s largely stuck to it apart from the odd game or two where we funnily enough looked somewhat better.

Might well do a long term project makes more sense with a much younger manager. But even with Ten Hag if there had been progress this season even in terms of performances and playstyle if not results. The the club might have been more patient and given him another year. But you can't have the season we've just had and expect to keep your job, you just can't there was zero progress this season. We've actually regressed from when he took over and are worse now.
I’d have some sympathy for Ten Hag if he was a bit more humble around the failures this season but he’s been stubborn and arrogant.
Harsh. 19 clubs in the PL will miss him
Timing is harsh, just hope it is true.
We’re facing City. He has the best excuse already
Party time, praise the fecking lord, what a beautiful day it will be.
Up there with Moyes as the worst manager post Fergie

This scenario doesn't make sense though because the only reason someone at Chelsea would know this and choose to leak it to (ignoring he's not even tier 1 for chelsea), is if McKenna has rejected them for us? If so his article would be an actual scoop on announcing McKenna to United not some vague article rehashing the manager shortlists we've been seeing all week with the added headline.
Got a feeling it’s true and they’ll go with McKenna
poch and tuchel both want control of transfers. McKenna can be given the tools and just left to coach.
all 3 would be an upgrade

Only a WUM could form the opinion that those four are a big step down from Ten HagSo it looks like it will be either McKenna, Tuchel, Poch or Thomas Frank.
All a big step down IMO but I will be here for the next sacking in a year or two
You didn't need to include permanent.
Still can't believe Ten Hag's stock is this high because of a single a CL semi-final run (that he ended up being knocked out from by Spurs). CrazySo it looks like it will be either McKenna, Tuchel, Poch or Thomas Frank.
All a big step down IMO but I will be here for the next sacking in a year or two
Who's they?
You hope we go with two certified failures instead of someone who might not be a failure.
Why the hell would our executives inform a rival club and a player out on loan about their future actions?
We are a fecking shit show of a club though. It's the right decision to move him on but why is all this coming out before the cup final?
It's probably a better situation for him. If we win he goes out on a high, if we get smashed they'll be no uproar as he's already sacked anyway.
He gets to say goodbye and the fans within reason will tolerate it and wish him well.

Press doing everything they can to derail every tiny chance we have to win this
This is more than a sporting matter.
Watch him start Casemiro at CB, Onana upfront and Tom Huddlestone in midfield now.
It's the fact we didn't pull the trigger earlier which is baffling, not that we have now. I doubt it is the club who have put this out there, it will be an over enthusiastic journalist, who might end up a banned from OT journalist.
Absolutely the correct decision but which fecking idiot decided it's a good idea to leak it the day before the biggest game of the season? We should've done it either a long time ago or after the final. This club is toxic as feck.
Why would we? We'll hound him out if he starts failing too.
It’s crazy what a shitshow we are. The day before the cup final this is getting out.
They didn’t. Maybe Chelsea found out McKenna to United is already done while negotiating for him
Presume he means the players.
The day before a final. Someone at the Guardian is either guessing or if someone from the club told them, they should lose their job.
feck INEOS
I'd rather take a complete blind gamble on McKenna than getting in one of the names we've been linked to that have proven themselves to be average.
It's very strange there are people talking fondly about his time with us as though it's a massive point in his favour, though. We were shit then as well, and he was at least partly responsible.
Ah, remember the days of ETH's appointment and the giddy promises made by many here that a couple of dodgy seasons would be fine as he implemented changes to make us a 'modern' team. Heaven help the new coach.
