Ok so let me change my question, if Ratcliffe take over this week and immediately fire ETH, who would you want to be new manager?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What are you expecting if alonso or another would take over? He comes in and immediately has us play like prime barca? We’d need new personel, can’t expect the likes of limited footballers like awb to suddenly turn into dani Alvarez.

Well basically be resetting the cycle, to over again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dont say awb is a poor footballer out loud. The stalwarts of this board will come after you
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lol. I can only assume you have no idea what a stalwart actually is.

Problem is there aren’t that many ‘big names’, even fewer who are doing well, and fewer still mad enough to go to United. And a less well known manager would just be chewed up and spat out like Moyse.

Potter would be eaten alive in that dressing room

We are definitely not going to be spoilt for choice. Managing Utd comes with a health warning.

This is the Glazer legacy. The worst football operators in the world. A title they will keep for a very long time.

Heckingbottom
Hughes
Allardyce
Pulis
Warnock
Keane
Neville
Bruce

Lots of potential candidates

We’ll get someone crap as interim and go for Tuchel in the summer.

You have FAR to many bang average players...& frankly given how you managed to beat us last week just shows how fackin shat we are

Worrying times

I actually thought you'd cracked it with ETH in summer..but he can't polish a turrd to a good enough shine either...& Poch certainly can't...he proved it before

Actually we might go for Pochettino when Chelsea sack him.

If you acknowledge that the things going on with the board or behind the scenes are hampering progress then may as well just stick with ETH until it blows over. Not as if you are in relegation form.

That would require those very same people that decide whether the manager keeps his job to acknowledge that.

What I mean is there's almost no point suggesting as fans what manager United should get in, while in the same breath acknowledging things won't change with the problems behind the scenes. May as well stick with what you have. You are still 6th. How much better would things get with the current United situation and no obvious stand out managers available?

Roy Keane is the only man who could save Man U

I've gone from being very, very reluctantly 'ETH out' a few weeks ago to 'ETH in' now.

This is on the players for me. And I know it's the manager's job to get the best out of the players, but who out there is going to do that? Why would any new manager fare better than Ten Hag?

So ETH should remain because he is unable to actually get players perform?

Should the plan be sell basically the entire first team squad?

Tend to agree, but sometimes it does reach a point where the manager needs to go regardless of whether there’s an obvious replacement available. That’s just how football is. I’m indifferent for the reasons you’ve given, though.

I'm not saying I have the answer

Also, I think ETH could very well be gone a week tomorrow, after we go out of Europe and get another hammering at Anfield

Sometimes but I don't buy that ETH is at that point yet. Things aren't that bad, all things considered i.e. dressing room problems, board situation, and injuries. Keeping you in 6th place could even be seen as a sort of achievement so far.

Dressing room problems and the fans are two of the biggest issues that get managers the chop. Whether he deserves it or not isn’t that relevant, I think if things don’t improve he will get sacked as we’ve seen it before.

With the games coming up it's certainly possible the club will sack him. But they need to give him the vote of confidence first as is usually the order of things.

ETH will be the reason he gets sacked and nobody else. Blaming the fans now? Jesus wept. 😂

Yes there are other big issues at the club but a lot of the problems we have are down to the manager. His management of the squad has been poor. His management of individuals has been poor. His transfers have been abysmal. His tactics have been predictable and poor.

Stop trying to put the blame elsewhere. He's had £400m to spend and made us a team who score less goals than the one he inherited. He's out of his depth and just not good enough.

Well the players are a big problem as well. You have Sancho who is a huge flop and has undermined the manager, possibly causing dressing room disharmony. Rashford who is supposed to be one of your game changers but has had more haircuts than goals this season. Onana has had some big clown moments. I know he was a player ETH bought but wasn't he supposed to be highly rated beforehand?

The manager still got you top 4 and a trophy last season with a lot of these same players. It isn't just the manager's fault.
