[Football] Ten Hag sacked

[drew]

Let's be honest, he's been waiting for this for ages. He was never going to walk as likely would have missed out on massive severance payout.

Tell you what........that Var decision yesterday has done United a massive favour. Ten Hag gone and someone will turn them around! Frank from Brentford?

I see what you did there. Posted a reply then had VAR look at it and posted again with no changes. Bit like standing by the onfield decision!

Club is a basket case.

They've been various shades of shit since Ferguson bowed out. Seven managers in a decade? Something like that.

Gus to Man Utd.

Funnily enough I was thinking just this before I saw your post.

 

[Zeberdi]

Not entirely unexpected given recent run of results.

Frank seems like a possibility or even Amorim but not Potter - can’t see him wanting to go North of the Watford Gap. Manure fans would not be keen either based on his Chelsea performance.

Mind you if they win the next 2 or 3 games, RvN could be a shoe in to stay on in the role couldn’t he - already has top
flight management with Eindhoven…

I'd sack the entire player recruitment set-up. Too many nonenties for my liking. Maybe TB could cut them a limited deal with his algorithm

It was obvious he should have gone after the Cup Final but sentiment got the better of the Board.

However, there is no room for sentiment at the top level of English football. They are now in a bad place, 12 points below Citeh and have been leapfrogged by Chelsea and Villa for 4th spot.

There are also a shitload of expensive contracts to be paid up with mediocre players on huge wages.

Good luck with that.

LOL I hope it only gets worse for them

Nah, just sell them the data but don't show them how to analyse it.

That VAR decision was outrageous, but as it was Man U who cares? And as you say it has actually done them a massive favour.

Maresca seems to be doing ok.

With a team that finished 6th last season and finished the season flying under Poch (who initially struggled as much as Potter did ,took him ages to get going and had a lot more time to sort out the mess).

And let's not forget that the new England manager struggled for ages before he got sacked and that's the team that Potter inherited.

The levels people will go on here to get stuck in to Potter is ridiculous.

Would expect nothing less from you though, I see you've already moved onto Fabian as your next target.

This is the view of the entire football community (except United fans)

 

[el punal]

Latest just coming through - Russell Martin is now hot favourite!

 

[oldboyroy]

My thoughts exactly! It was just a matter of time till they sacked him, virtually a week by week depending on each result. They should have won comfortably yesterday but for poor finishing and that VAR decision. They have cup match which they should win, then Chelsea which will be tricky then a run of games against bottom 6 that, are games they should win. New man gets chelsea out the way and he will have them flying up table I suspect.

van Nistelrooy - 2/5
Ruben Amorim - 7/2
Gareth Southgate - 7/2
Graham Potter - 14/1
Zinedine Zidane - 20/1
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - 33/1
Robert de Zerbi - 33/1
Wayne Rooney - 80/1
Roy Keane 175/1
Fabian Hurzeler - 175/1

Wayne Rooney?

Putting that into context, according to the BBC it's £563m worth of nonentities. Even a £300m fee for limited Starlizard service could give them good future saving....

I was listening to some of the 606 calls yesterday and found myself thinking: why does anyone expect Man Utd to be doing much better than they are this season?

Yes, massive club and all that. But look at the current squad. Severely lacking in proven talent and exciting prospects. Why would they be anything other than a mid-table team this year, when other clubs have got so many brilliant players to call upon?

Whoever takes over will have exactly the same problem. And like their predecessors, they'll be weighed down by unrealistic expectations, and the spectre of the Ferguson years.

 

[Affy]

The most pleasing thing to see if FH very far down the list.… it is a shame they let ETH go though. That was 3 points we could have done with in January.

 

[Titanic]

Southgate or De Zerbi... just goes to show how they have absolutely no clue about their style / identity.
