Seems to be all but done at this point.
Could barely summon the willpower to even make this thread with how United are at the moment, but more freds > I guess.

Erik Tenhag. Erikt Enhag?
Erikt Enh Ag?
Van De Beek might actually get some minutes next season.
There's only one Erik Ten Hag
I hope he spends eighty million on Daley Blind.
The BBC's bit about him makes him sound like he's going to be a bit of a disaster.
I don't know anything about him other than Ajax have been good under him, but Ajax is probably one of the easiest jobs in Football.
I suspect it will either prove to be brilliant or a complete disaster.
As I read the other day: Frank de Boer won the league 4x here, so it's hardly a barometer. He'll either be a lvg or a SchteveOriginally Posted by Spikey M
You just said there's Ten of them.
What would a complete disaster look like?
Like any of the post-2013 seasons, but with a bald bloke overseeing it.
One Erik, 10 Hags. It makes 2 girls 1 cup look softcore.
Lewis has beaten me to it, but more of the same and him out within a season or 18 months.
It's going to be shit and I'm going to boo him until Ole returns.
Then it feels like you've outlined the only two possible outcomes. Anything other than that would be a huge success.
I'm definitely leaning complete disaster and continuing lolfest fwiw.
It was only really David Moyes who was disastrous from start to finish. The others took a couple of seasons to get there.
A huge success would be challenging for the title again.
Huge success would be staying in post for 3 seasons.
Potential for the full hinterland excursion if Newcastle, Spurs and Arsenal can get their acts together going forward. Probably a remote possibility.
I think his Flavour of the Monthness is potentially a big asset dealing with all of the cunty players. They can't moan about outdated methods and what have you, or say that he's a speccy/nineties gimp with no trophies, so what can they blame being shit on?
Society.
Pogba and Ronaldo need to go because they'll have no qualms undermining him from day one.
He "feels" like the best option of those available (based on basically nothing) and I'm cautiously optimistic the changes to the structure will make some difference, but who knows really.
Edit: Pogba is out of contract, he's gone. Finding a suitor for Ronaldo seems unlikely.
Ronaldo, subbed off after seventy minutes of the opening day 5-0 win, gives him a subtle head rub and it all caves in.
Looking forward to the bald derby.
Ronny will be off to the MLS next season.
Playing for who? The San Quentin Sex Offenders?
"Incredibly detailed, obsessive prep"
"gave a teamtalk with his trousers on backwards"
"There's no amazement. Anyone who works in football will not be amazed in the slightest. It's par for the course."
Sold.
Out before Christmas.
Of his trousers?
That squad and no CL footballIf Tuchel and Conte stay, they ain't getting CL any time soon so I think it's done with now. Glorious.

Officially official.
Poor bastard. Hope the money's eye-watering.
I know it is to be expected, but going off the bit on the BBC about this United fans seem to be getting a bit giddy about this business.
He will be the first boss since Sir Alex Ferguson that other clubs will be genuinely fearful of
On what basis? Is he going to sign Dusan Tadic and Sebastien Haller and start tearing up the Premier League? Apart from mugging off Real Madrid a few seasons ago in the Champions League exactly what have Ajax done under him? They were pretty shite against Liverpool in the Champions League whilst Liverpool were going through their No Virgil paroxysm.
Feels more of a Brendan Rodgers move than a Jurgen Klopp one, in terms of comparisons. Not saying it can't or won't work [after all, Bodgers did nearly reach the top of the mountain], but I don't think anyone is going to be fearing United now they have some bald lunatic from the low countries in charge.

The media have made him a fashionable name so he's got himself a bit of an unwarranted pedestal now. A couple of early defeats and there's only one way it's going.
What's Lucien Favre up to these days? He was flavour of the month at one point I seem to recall.
To be fair to Ten Hag they are absolutely rolling the eredivisie nowadays in a way they haven’t for a decade. Looking at the table and seeing Scored 85 Conceded 15 is good shit considering PSV have a way higher salary budget than they do.
His Champions League run with Ajax was impressive, both in terms of performances and results (despite how it ended). Unreasonable to expect the same the next season after De Ligt and De Jong were both sold. Obviously it's very difficult to judge a player or manager on their performance in the League in Holland but his team play good attacking football. PSV also spend as much as they do.
He was tipped for big things from his time at Utrecht by all accounts.
I'm much more positive about his appointment than anyone else since Ferguson retired. Regardless of who comes in though, there's a big rebuilding job needed and it's going to take a while before there's any hope of challenging again.
I disagree with the idea a couple of early losses will doom him. If there's one thing United do - sometimes to a fault - it's give managers time. The fans as well.
I'm not sure who would've been an objectively better appointment. Pochettino has equally big question marks over him. Enrique wouldn't come until after the World Cup which would write off another season from the get go. Conte would absolutely not work with the board. Who else?

How does that work?
That has them having roughly double the transfer budget.
Sounds like something from whatever the United equivalent of RAWK is. RedCafe? Is that full of mentals?I know it is to be expected, but going off the bit on the BBC about this United fans seem to be getting a bit giddy about this business.

Probably worse, an outside the stadium comment [I don't know]. Think it was probably an online comment.
Who was that Brazilian forward Ajax had in recent times? Not Antony, I don't think. David Neres? What happened to him?
Potter, as one of the best managerial prospects in the game shits on this bald nobody but I assume England will come calling for him as his next job.
