Yes, but most of our recent managers have got similar percentages.
Playing good football does come into it too, see Moyes at West Ham.

In fairness to Maguire, he's generally pretty good as long as you don't have a high line. The rest, meh. £85m on Antony has to be one of the worst transfers of all time.
This isn't really the thread for goalkeeper discussion, but yes, a £45m upgrade on De Gea he most certainly isn't.
Still nothing further on this. It's difficult to draw any conclusions, but if ETH does stay, it looks bad that they've basically let this drag on... a statement of some sort could have been issued, even if it was just to a journalist.
It doesn't take this long to do a review, they'll have been reviewing every game as it happened for the past 6 months or so.
We don't know what's going on but it's creating a more negative perception of INEOS, than positive, IMO...

By all accounts they'd decided to sack him a couple of weeks ago - how could they have done that if nobody is doing anything?
Exactly! Do you want Ratcliffe deciding who is manager? Because that seems to be what you want
There are people involved who will know about managers…
You seem to think everyone will need to be fully in post before anything is decided. Not going to be the case.
What do you actually think is happening at the moment then? Obviously there’s no review going on as Wilcox can’t do it on his own…? So all the sources must be wrong…
I’ve no problem with that either, it’s just unfortunate with all of the speculation around the manager.
So you'd be fully supportive of Southgate then?
I understand what you're saying, but realistically a club would be expected to comment in this situation. It wasn't some random report, a number of serious journalists reported it - lead by the Guardian. When these people approached the club they refused to comment. They didn't even deny it, or say things were being looked at. If they'd told ETH he was staying, this would have been reported - it quite clearly isn't the case.
Whatever happens now he has been undermined, they clearly don't have confidence in him...
This is wishful thinking really. They had notice of this prior to the cup final, refused to comment, and so ETH was bombarded with questions about whether he was being sacked on Monday morning. That's not something you just let happen if you are considering keeping him. It's poor form regardless really and not fair on him.
Credible reports today that Ratcliffe met with Tuchel recently to discuss the job, some saying he's ruled himself out, others that he's under consideration along with the other names mentioned.
This surely means ETH is gone, you don't have the owners meeting other managers, actively looking to replace him... and then decide to keep him. His position has been seriously undermined.

But it's not winding up the media, it's winding up the fans. Honestly, anywhere you look, INEOS are being heavily criticised, compared to the Glazers, etc.
Every day without a decision just does more and more damage. I understand it can take time and I agree they shouldn't rush it, but it's really not good.
Erik Ten Hag: Manchester United manager to remain in charge of the club

From the outside it looks like they've desperately tried and failed to replace him, undermined him, and now we'll plod on due to a lack of alternative options.
I accept it would be better looking at all of these things with Ashworth & co in place, too.
The FA Cup win was a great moment and I really hope we can build on it, but last season was inexcusably poor. I reckon there's a decent chance he's gone before Christmas.
Yep, being negotiated now... quite the gamble. They must feel he will succeed with the right players - not sure we've seen any evidence of that this season...
