Put a decent player on the pitch, give him the ball and he will do good things with it, regardless of the shirt he's wearing. No player goes onto the pitch having been told by the manager to play badly, its an innate thing with footballers to try and play well. Whatever the system, players want to win, strikers want to score, keepers want to keep clean sheets, they don't need a fkn manager to tell them what to do. Sancho downed tools having been asked in training to mimic the style of a certain Arsenal player who we were facing in our next fixture, he refused and in doing so fkd up the managers game preparation - and his team member's chances of success. There is no place in ANY team for a player who turns it on and off in games of their choosing - same applies to the current problem child - Rashford who will hopefully follow his bro out the door..
Then I guess we have a whole squad of sht players. Because lately, all of them have been to do fk all with the ball.

Seriously though, you can’t really believe that players manage themselves without a plan and accountability.

Maybe that idea works for Sunday league, but it sure as hell never works at the highest level. You need a manager with a solid plan for the professionals to execute against.

It's common knowledge that Sancho is a snake, but he goes away and has a couple of half decent games with Dortmund (who still sent him back), and now Chelsea, and it's ten Hag's fault.

Was it ten Hag's fault that Sancho was also late for and disinterested at training, and generally average at best, under Solskjaer and Rangnick? Just asking for a mate like.

He's had a decent game at Chelsea and all of a sudden he's the answer again. <laugh>

The star of that show was not Sancho, it's the one who scored all the goals. Sancho will disappear again soon enough, he always does.

And by the way @cytrax, yes, we do need a scorer. Have you not been ****ing watching? That is exactly what we need.

Forget Sunday, we were ****e (Sancho wouldn't have solved this). In the previous games we created and squandered plenty chances. Ergo, no goal scorer.

This is 100 fahkts.
**** or not, Sancho was not, and is not the issue with Man Utd.
Since ETH came to United, the board has changed, the coaches have changed, the players have changed, the only thing that has remained the same is ETH, so imo getting rid of him is priority one to my mind.

As I mooted the other week, Tuchel is the new England boss - should suit him , a decent pool of talent without the hassle of owners, stakeholders etc
I think one of you matched him well to the international job few posts ago.

I’ve heard noise of Zidane in the last few days.
 
Sadly, should the axe fall on ETH anytime soon, after Tuchel and Southgate ar off the list, Potter would appear to be the likely and obvious candidate to replace him unless the club are acting like grown ups and have a different, well researched target in the wings.

Your option Ancelotti.

Then Amorim, then Emery. All at the end of the season, not now.

If they get rid of ten Hag before, Ruud as caretaker, but absolutely not to be given the job full time based on five decent matches.

Fairly sure this lot will know all this.

Yeah, they have now 'lost' a decent candidate, but there is at least those three would be up to the job.

Thomas Frank also, perhaps. Potter even.
 
Yeah, Ancelotti for me, perhaps unattainable, but Amorim would be a good second option - but the big question remains, however could he cut it at one of the world's biggest clubs?

Any and all of them - Moyes, LVG, JM - all of them did well at their respective clubs but the move to United was too much. The only way forward is to grab the likes of Ancelotti, someone who has recent experience of another big club who perhaps fancies another challenge.
 
The three you mention are nothing like Amorim.

All of them were uber experienced and previously successful. Amorim isn't that, he's an up and coming coach looking (I would hope) to take the next step up.

The others were finished articles, supposedly. And two of them were unemployed.

Ole was the ex player, there's only really ten Hag could fall into the same pigeon hole.

All that said, I would still agree that Ancelotti is the top fit, but also the least likely.

We'll probably pursue the one who's not interested, Zidane.
 
Carlo is the man
I would literally loathe it
The guy is the best one out there
Over Pep imho

has to be
That’s where I would bust the bank if I were Utd
100%

Interested in if you just watched that half from Sancho @cytrax ?

The only reason I remembered he was playing is because the commentator said he'd been taken off. At half time, after barely touching it first half, because he was hiding, like he does.

But yeah, world class or something, all Ten Hag's fault.
