It's as simple as this for me.

He comes across as a decent guy right. Is he a good manager? Maybe.

Is he the right fit for United? Hell no!

The team needs a new direction (or any direction!).

Hope he goes on to prove us wrong.

But EtH was not the right manager for United. And it's as simple as that.

We will now find out how much of it was the players or the manager. I appreciate he chose most of the players but still.

He's not the first manager to fail. It'll be interesting to see how the new manager fares once the new manager bounce is over, if we get one.
 
A top manager can turn a squad's fortunes around with coaching and a handful of signings. Look at Villa under Emery. Look at what Nuno has done with Forest more recently. Flick has managed to turn the Barcelona ship around of late, a club also in a bit of a mess.

Managers can change things, they can raise the level of players. Our strongest XI is capable of far better, and can give anyone a game outside of the top 3 or so. Instead it looks like relegation fodder.

Here we go, Southgate to the rescue

unfortunately I agree that's most likely.

Dread the thought of him taking over but most "likely" candidate at the moment.

Feel a bit sorry for ETH but ultimately with the money spent, the players brought in, and still no settled XI, no "style" of play, weird substitutions week after week it was time to go for him.

Players haven't helped him either to be fair - far to many passengers in that squad still.

Joking aside, I think they have fumbled the manager situation, but Dan Ashworth is not some clueless idiot, I can't believe he will mess things up like the previous regime.

Nothing would surprise me though :p

I don't think there's an appetite to keep RvN on, they've already made it clear he's interim until a replacement is found.

Options -
  • Ruben Amorim - not likely to leave mid season
  • Southgate - we'll gloss over that one
  • Xavi - could be interesting, his wife posted a picture of him with his son in a Man Utd kit the other day...
  • Thomas Frank - would be a very interesting appointment
  • McKenna - doubt it
  • Potter - might be a good fit under Ashworth but would be risky

Frank all but ruled himself out
Potter didn't exactly do well at Chelsea
Xavi is high risk surely?
 
Do we think it was the VAR decision that was the final nail? If the goals had been scored in the first half would he still be in a job?

Is that really how a however-many-billion-£ organisation is run?

Delusion here. The players are not good enough. Signin half decent in the eredivisie was never gonna cut it and even a hybrid of Klopp and Pep can’t wave a magic wand and get a tune out of these garbage players.
