There's a little fat fella just an hour down the M6 away that I feel people are overlooking, currently gainfully employed but has zero qualms about jumping ship. Special abilities include rolling wa sleeves up and dustin wa'sels down on a weekly basis.
RvP and RVN to sort out the dire finishing, to be fair can't see what RVN has done so far..
As we know problems are all across the pitch
What we reckon then ETH gone tomorrow?

I would have thought he will be gone today.
Writing is on the wall.
If not then I lose faith in the club further.
We'll see I guess...

Lots of talk on twitter that Tuchel is actually lined up to replace ETH after todays pre planned meeting with the board. Reports saying he is ready to take over. Too many to link to but super easy to find. I wonder just how true this is? Personally, I think its odds on to be true.

Tuchel is a very underwhelming appointment if true.

Exactly Liverpool or Man City wouldn't be looking to appoint him. You would be looking for the next up coming manager who could fit around the players that we have. Tuchel systems doesn't even match the kind of squad we have. If they appoint him it will be even more of a mess imo.

For the mod who moved my post here, I though I was already in this thread 
Sorry. Got 3 kids moaning at me over a bloody dining chair. My dog chasing after my kitten and I have been up since 5am. Thats my excuse anyway.

Not seen any serious links with Tuchel. Most of the higher tier journalists seem to think he's staying.
I don't think anyone knows what will happen at this meeting today - it's a long standing engagement but the form of the team and manager will no doubt be a major point of discussion. The decent journalists are keeping their powder dry and saying ETH doesn't feel his job is under threat, but that's about it.
I am hoping they'll decide to part ways with ETH today, our horrendous form from last season has just continued into this one - ETH has broken his own record for worst Man Utd start to the season.
Tuchel is what I'd call the 'lazy' appointment. He's considered an elite manager, is available, with a good track record, but tends to self-implode after a while. Obviously I think he would be an improvement on a manager who is failing spectacularly, but there may be smarter options...
We've been here with the Glazers and Woodward before, dithering over a manager who is quite clearly finished. I hope INEOS will be more decisive; they were happy enough to waltz into the club and sack 25% of the workforce. If they don't act now, we'll be back here in 3-4 weeks...

Or they'll make a good managerial appointment, start recruiting better players as part of a long term plan, and things will improve?
There's no reason to write the club off.
There's over a decade of reasons.

Since when has it 'improved' with any manager since LVG? Arguably that was only an improvement because it was after Moyes, it was still poor in comparison to Fergie's team and style.
If the rot is still there, appointing a new manager won't improve it. I don't think they will change until they know that the rest of the club is being run how they want.
1-2 I reckon!
People laugh at Chelsea and how much money they've wasted. At least they've got one or two decent players. We've spent just as much (more?) and still had to rely on Evans to dig us out of a hole! Yes ETH bought his players in but he did it with the approval of the club surely?

Right, so sticking with a bad manager is the solution? Is it going to help anything? No.
What is the 'rot' you speak of - half the squad are players ETH knows? The likes of Rashford and Evans are the ones bailing him out at the moment.
I totally get there are wider issues, but come on, this manager is just as much of a problem. It's not like we played some decent football and just missed out on 4th last season, we've been dire for over a year and are currently heading for a relegation battle.
I didn't say this.
