Erik, the manager of the team I support.

Our next 5 league games

Villa home
Forest away
Spurs home
Wolves away
West Ham home

Perhaps can see one win in all of those

I have no issue with him seeing the season out given it's as good as over now anyway and beyond saving in terms of top 4.

Under no circumstances would I give him another penny though and he definitely doesn't get next season.

However if INEOS's choice is available before the summer then don't wait. Get him in now so we have 6 months to build for the summer and next season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What if we go on a mad run between now and next summer? To complicate your thought process, what if we did that, and it was largely due to rashford suddenly turning in red hot form? Say we came in 3rd or 4th, would you revise your ‘definitely doesn't get next season.” Statement??


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Would depend on a lot of factors tbh.

Unlike a lot of posters on here I do change my mind though. Some people are so determined to be right that they double down. When I get something totally wrong I'm not afraid to say so. For example I was all in the 'we must get ETH as our manager' camp. He was my number one choice and I'm now not afraid to admit I called that one badly. It started off fairly well but he's made too many disastrous decisions now ultimately.

Can you see this group going on a mad run though? I honestly can't. We don't look like we have a goal in us let alone a 7/8 game winning run.

No I can’t. I think it’s highly unlikely, I was simply pointing out that ‘under no circumstance’ is subject to change in the flux of being a football fan. He’s probably a dead man walking, and might have been in trouble last season if it weren’t for rash

Sack him ASAP. Pointless keeping him on. Get a caretaker manager in appointed by ineos

Fool

Do I think EtH is doing well this season, no.

Do I think there’s an obvious alternative who can come in and improve us, no.

Is there any point in making such a drastic move before Ratcliffe comes in and gets his team to assess the club, no.

Are we realistically challenging for anything this season that we desperately need that a change might help, no.


We need to be patient and think about things long term. Yes maybe EtH needs to go but wait until Ratcliffe and his team have assessed things and decided what’s best. Don’t make drastic changes just for short term goals. A season out of Europe really isn’t that harmful for us and sacking managers only gives the players more power and belief that they are untouchable. If we decide to sack EtH, first sort out our DoF and work out which players and manager to bring in from that, not the other way round.

Fans are far too impatient these days and want their shiny new toys as soon as things go bad. Look at us the past decade, we keep doing the same thing with no real long term planning and we make the same mistakes. With the Glazers still at the club our best chance of change is with Ratcliffe so wait and let him make decisions rather than sacking a manager now with no idea who his team want to bring in.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Of course he's not doing well this season, and I won't cry if he's sacked.
But I would prefer him to have until the end of the season, and hope when we pull the trigger we would have someone lined up.
I also noticed how the sack him now posters never acknowledge the injuries he's had to deal with.

I personally cannot comprehend why people have 0 memory of the last 10 years?

Do the fans calling for ETH out, remember when they were calling for Moyes out? And LvG out? Jose? OGS? Ragnick? Now ETH? Will for sure the next guy get it right where the names above got it wrong?

Why are fans not remembering the last 10 years when managers have had 2-3 years in charge and it ends up like it is now for ETH when they get sacked.

Why are fans not remembering that we sack someone, and then 2-3 years later, we end up in this exact same position?

Why are fans forgetting such recent history?

Why are fans calling for this cycle to continue?

Why aren't fans now screaming for something else?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I remember the last ten years.

I remember the cycle of managers.

And I am asking (not screaming) for something else.

The solution is simple. The owners sell up and a new broom comes in and reorganises the Club. Root and branch, top to bottom.

Until this happens, (which it wont for some time), are you suggesting that United do nothing and leave Erik to it under the same conditions and the same group of players on ridiculous long contracts and hope things on the pitch... just improve, dramatically, with the risk of things getting much worse. How far are you willing to let the club sink before you blink?

Good post.

Good post.

Idiots like Robb and SE85 have a lot to learn! It's never too late.
