I was talking to United fans about this today. The “brutally honest” comments need to stop. Anyone with a brain knew the United issues, Jose said them when he was there. Remember his comment “my greatest achievement is getting second with this club and everything behind the scenes.”The thing is, Ten Hag is not even the issue there. We can make fun of him all we want, but their squad is just utter shit. Their best player is Bruno Fernandes, and he's just a shit Giovanni Lo Celso.
As I said in the matchday thread, their biggest mistake was getting rid of Ragnick. He might've been a shit manager (with every passing day his stock gets better), but at least he was brutally honest with United. So what do they do? They sack him, and hire an apparently yes-man. They should just stick with Ten Hag, and if he wants to get rid of 25 players, they should oblige to him.
That trophy 4 years ago ain’t doing shit for them now. I hate this attitude of “they won 5 years ago so they are better off than us.” We are in the CL, have a legit chance at a trophy and are fun to watch. They are embarrassing themselves weekly.They've still won more than us over recent years. We need to win something before laughing at United.
wasn't that a film?Ten weeks it is then!
That I agree with you about. There are no easy games in the EPL, even for the top clubs.But that's what Ajax do. Ajax have an amazing youth setup, coaching, scouting, they have been among the best in the world at producing talent for decades. But the league is poor (probably in part because Ajax swallow most of the talent) and I think that makes it much harder for a coach to come from Ajax and try and do the same thing in the Premier League, which is the toughest league.
You saw the same thing with De Boer at Palace.
This pre-match waffle is fantastic!!!
"from an attacking point of view I've no concerns today, Utd will be good on the ball, there's no excuse in this heat not to keep a lot of possession. I admire what ETH has done here today, he's come here today and said we are going to play total football"
There was a film called 10wasn't that a film?
oh, no. That was 9 1/2 weeks
Not sure what you’re getting at , Flipper could not have done any worse than the actual CaptainI think they should fire him now. He's Ramos 2.0 and the longer this goes on the more adrift from the other teams they're going to become. Teams that perform this badly aren't turned around by the incumbent manager; they never have been and they never will be.
They've got Liverpool a week on Monday and they should have someone else in the job by then. If they persist with ten Hag, they're leaving Flipper in charge of the Titanic.

I’m not sure any of these powder puff managers can fix the rot at Utd. I’d like to see Roy Keane given the job. They’d never do it, but it’d make good telly….
saw their game last week and my impression was the players don’t like their manager, want him swapped for someone they believe in. He’ll be gone in quick time and i expect they’ll get poch in.
The ship has sunk. Finally. Absolutely joyous.
Bunch of horrible cunts
