Ten Hag sacked! (P 416)

[Ghostofmerlin]

They brought him to replicate the Ajax system, high press, aggressive midfield and fast attacking football, within weeks he was making noises about not having the players to do that so they shipped out Ronaldo and he's had a few windows to mould his side, they are no further on by any measure and he still claims he doesn't have the players to do it.

That said all the refs and var meet up every week to plot how to shaft them, on that basis he may as well stay on until webbo sorts it out for them

Slab head and Mactom are perfect for that style of play

He needs time ffs

The schedule pile-up and injuries hit at the right time. Luke Shaw has been a massive miss. After Christmas, the table will look a lot different you can bet on that

Well he's always been massive, not sure about a miss.

It'll be fuckin empty if Luke Shaws been sat at it.

Hopefully till drop into the 2 division

 

[burning blue soul]

Even if he wins his next match, I believe he will be gone over the international break.
With Chemical Jim coming in imminently, he will clear him out. If this guy wants to take control of the football side of business he will bring in his people, and his people's people. Ten Bob will hark back to defeatist times before Chemical Jim, he won't want that.
A mini reset, and back to the old routine afterwards.

No manager could cope with the devastating loss of Phil Jones. He was the beating heart of the team. He just needs more time.

 

[simmo]

Anyone who does go or is head hunted will be able to name his salary, terms and conditions anyway. A last and final pay cheque for someone.

Mark Hughes or Steve Bruce are available to keep the red transition aided by Mclaren who is already there.

Let's just hope (for his sake) DeZerbi isn't nuts to go there.

Potter is available, he loves a bit of a poisoned chalice.

I know he’s struggling but even he should be able to avoid defeat during an international break ;)

It’s Dave Brailsford I feel sorry for.

Imagine coming from an elite cycling background where every grain of rice is weighed and every molecule of protein measured and quantified. The absolute peak of the peak of sport science and fitness. Team Sky / Ineos is run more like a science lab than a sports team (jokes about Jiffy bags aside).

Then you walk into the rags setup. Luke Shaw scoffing burgers in the canteen, Rashford slumped over hungover, the whole place stinking of piss and mould with paint flaking everywhere.

It’ll be like the first episode of Life of Mars where John Simm walks into the police station in the 1970s and the detectives are all just sat around getting pissed and smoking.

If he does go there, I guarantee Brailsford will walk out within 6 months.

 

[Grassland Blue]

Latest rumours are that Ratcliffe will be in place by next week so hopefully Jim’ll fix it for Ten Bob to stick around a while longer.

Keep the faith.

Which will come first, Ratcliffe or Chrisrmas?

I fear that De Zerbi will fancy it and I note that the manager of Nice is a former coach with De Zerbi in Italy. If he has a similar outlook then that suggests that it is the style Ratcliffe would want to establish. But as Ten Bob is discovering - they don't have the players capable of playing the De Zerbi way - so they need to throw even more money at the problem.

Graham Potter and the Poisoned Chalice with JK Rowling as Director of Football.
And a Ratcliffe on the board.

If Carlsberg did take overs :-)

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Begging the players he's in the main chucked under the bus to save his hide......think we will be having a new #SO?? shortly.

He's not really given us much value for our efforts like Ole or TT did.

 

[Blue Elvis]

Staggered to read Premier League statistic that after today's awesome dismantling of the mighty Luton Town, Poundland Pep has won 30 of his first 50 Premier League games in charge of ManUre !!
Apparently this is the most wins of any ManUre manager in their first 50 league games in charge of the club !!! Anyone know if that is correct ?

Just had a look on wiki and it seems not only is that true, he is second on the list of percentage games won, behind, yes you’ve guessed it…

Someone needs to photoshop Ratcliffe’s face onto Saville with the words “Jim’ll fix it”.
