I see what you did there
We all know he's coming. But he's currently got a game tomorrow and will want to focus on that with the players. I don't think it really suits anyone to have a delay in him arriving, but if that's the way it's to be so be it.
I do find this 30 day release clause strange - never heard it mentioned regarding any other manager moving between clubs, but then nothing seems straightforward with us these days.

Ten Hag sacked on Monday. Today is Thursday.
Reporter "Can you explain why it's taking so long?"
The drama they like to make about everything United is ridonculous.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They’re just trying to create drama, headlines, and clicks to drive traffic to their online content. It’s nothing new, and some of the nonsense they come up with is downright hilarious, especially as they’re making assumptions without solid facts. Sky would likely have reported differently if they owned United outright, perhaps backing their coverage with more substantial evidence.

Makes sense as well. Ruud gets 3 games. Amorim comes in on the 11th, the day after we play Leicester. Then he has two weeks to settle in and get ready for a couple of easier games to start with - Ipswich, Bodo Glimt.
As with ANY new manager over the last few years good luck to the fellah don't know enough about him to give a qualified opinion and other than what people have said about him I fully hope he cracks on and gets the team playing better more successful fitba

Yeah for sure. Though as I said earlier, I'd be nervous with his first game being away to McKenna's winless Ipswich, seems too good to be true

Of course mate my "hope" level has dropped over the last 10yrs or so with manager after manager not making us much better, of course there are other quantifying factors to take into account with Utd but for me if the manager is right then the rest of the clubs issues can be reduced, this time I will simply see how it pans out over the next 12-18 months

Piff,
The jury is still out on the new sporting structure. Initially, they impressed with their transfer approach, identifying multiple targets, closing deals early, and walking away when valuations didn’t meet their budget. Many of us saw their first transfer as a resounding success. However, in hindsight, they mishandled EtH’s contract. They explained that Ashworth needed more time to assess EtH, hoping Erik would deliver enough to get through successive transfer windows. This might have given the new structure time to complete a squad overhaul.
Now, with their chosen manager in place, the spotlight is on Ashworth to clean up the squad, moving players and characters that negatively impact the club’s culture. In my view, though, culture starts with ownership and filters down. It’s difficult to set a positive tone if the main owners are indifferent, treating the sporting structure as less important. So can Sir Jim et al truly steer Utd toward sporting excellence when the ownership seems detached? This new quasi ownership may well be at the root of many issues, with deeper complications present at the sporting level. What's clear the Glazers have destroyed us as a "football" entity, we are set up to fail prospective managers. While change is exciting, I can’t help but feel a sense of dread that Amorim won’t be given the time he needs to set things right. I hope he proves me wrong by achieving success from the start and, hopefully, lasting well beyond 2 years!
Amorim will do for a year til his inevitable failure and sir Gareth comes I.

It’s what will happen.
1) new manager bounce gets good results, fans start saying ‘we’re back, ‘he’s the real deal’
2) around 6 months the players get fed up, results take a sharp downturn. The athletic totally missing the point will publish an article on his groundbreaking tactics, despite them not being original or effective.
3) 9 months in Jim the rat and his minions tell us they are fully behind him
4) 12 months, we’ve finished 8th or something. Pressure is on. Jim the rat sacks 4000 workers somewhere else cos he’s not made 1bn that month.
5) 13 months, he’s gone, and sir Gareth walks in as saviour
25) 83 months sir Gareth has created a monster crushing everyone, back to back CL and PL’s especially after city arsenal are found guilty of cheating and Liverpools PED scandal.

I think the problem for INEOS is they came in with a manager already in place but who had only been there 18 months. And one that had come in after successive managers had tried and failed.
When Mansoor's lot took over they came in a few months after Hughes had been appointed manager. 18 months later he was gone. The difference was there was no pressure on City or their new owners as a club. They had little or no history of note. United are the complete opposite and so the pressure and spotlight is more.
This is probably not a popular view on here, but I liked the fact INEOS were prepared to stick with Ten Hag. To show some faith and give him time. It's a lot better than the d1khead who's taken over at Chelsea imo, sacking managers short term on a "hit and hope" approach until they find the right man.
I accept it would've been better to sack Ten Hag after the FA Cup, but I also respect the fact they were willing to shoe some faith in him and there's something about the way we do things, sticking with someone which is traditionally United's way.
I don't think it means we should question the new sporting structure or ppl like Ashworth. I reckon they're going to get it right but in an ideal world they would've come in, appointed their own manager straight away, and recruited players to suit, but it's not the way it works and what's more further complicated by the incompetence of Woodward and Murtough before them which impacted on Ten Hag's tenure as well with the players brought in before INEOS arrived.

7) Romano states southgate is the best option. The process blindly follows, along with his suggestion that Rolf Harris should be assistant manager.

The daily Mail states Southgate could join and plans to sign Kalvin Phillips and put him in a trio of DM’s in front of a back 5. Baz believes this could happen.

Piff,
The jury is still out on the new sporting structure. Initially, they impressed with their transfer approach, identifying multiple targets, closing deals early, and walking away when valuations didn’t meet their budget. Many of us saw their first transfer as a resounding success. However, in hindsight, they mishandled EtH’s contract. They explained that Ashworth needed more time to assess EtH, hoping Erik would deliver enough to get through successive transfer windows. This might have given the new structure time to complete a squad overhaul.
Now, with their chosen manager in place, the spotlight is on Ashworth to clean up the squad, moving players and characters that negatively impact the club’s culture. In my view, though, culture starts with ownership and filters down. It’s difficult to set a positive tone if the main owners are indifferent, treating the sporting structure as less important. So can Sir Jim et al truly steer Utd toward sporting excellence when the ownership seems detached? This new quasi ownership may well be at the root of many issues, with deeper complications present at the sporting level. What's clear the Glazers have destroyed us as a "football" entity, we are set up to fail prospective managers. While change is exciting, I can’t help but feel a sense of dread that Amorim won’t be given the time he needs to set things right. I hope he proves me wrong by achieving success from the start and, hopefully, lasting well beyond 2 years!

I think the problem for INEOS is they came in with a manager already in place but who had only been there 18 months. And one that had come in after successive managers had tried and failed.
When Mansoor's lot took over they came in a few months after Hughes had been appointed manager. 18 months later he was gone. The difference was there was no pressure on City or their new owners as a club. They had little or no history of note. United are the complete opposite and so the pressure and spotlight is more.
This is probably not a popular view on here, but I liked the fact INEOS were prepared to stick with Ten Hag. To show some faith and give him time. It's a lot better than the d1khead who's taken over at Chelsea imo, sacking managers short term on a "hit and hope" approach until they find the right man.
I accept it would've been better to sack Ten Hag after the FA Cup, but I also respect the fact they were willing to shoe some faith in him and there's something about the way we do things, sticking with someone which is traditionally United's way.
I don't think it means we should question the new sporting structure or ppl like Ashworth. I reckon they're going to get it right but in an ideal world they would've come in, appointed their own manager straight away, and recruited players to suit, but it's not the way it works and what's more further complicated by the incompetence of Woodward and Murtough before them which impacted on Ten Hag's tenure as well with the players brought in before INEOS arrived.

Baz doesn't read the daily mail. But is surprisingly invited to the process and Romani’s wedding.
