I have read this before but I don't see the logic.
If they truly thought he was a dead man walking, it'd probably be cheaper and definitely be more effective to simply put him on gardening leave until mid-November and get his replacement in immediately.
Unless, they really are stone broke, of course but, again, there would probably be talk of yet another share sale, if that were the case.

Weren't they looking at sacking Ten Hag last summer, gave him a shit load to spend & then sacked him a couple of months later

Christ seen a couple of replies to this and can’t believe anyone took it seriously. I mean, really? A banner counting their games?! I need to add smiley emojis

That banner of theirs is a very emotive topic and not one to be taken lightly.

I've got a pretty good sense of humour and I certainly developed my gallows humour (a prerequisite for a City fan in the 80s/90s) over the years.

I'm happy to have a laugh with the next man but I will never forget or forgive the rags for that bastard banner.

It's a terrific insight really - check out these well thought out verses;

'But Rooney added that some current players "don't deserve to wear the shirt", the side "needs a new engine" and supporters are "waiting for the club to crumble".

"I am not seeing anything which is giving me any confidence, there needs to be big changes in my opinion," said the former England striker, who won five league titles during 13 years at Old Trafford.

"Manager, players, whatever that is. Whatever it takes to get Manchester United back."

Who the fuck listens to Shredded Wheat head!?!

Just a few repeated verses of cliche and not a single offered solution - this from a 'manager' that is recently in the game.

The BBC are actually paying for this level of output - fuck me.............

Let's just put something into perspective.
Rug Head has, according to your post, 'won 5 league titles in 13 years'

Phil Foden has won 6 (six) league titles in 8 years.

Fuck off you fat whale.

They won't get relegated

Even if they carry on current trajectory, the average says they will finish on 45 points.

That gets you around 13th/14th.

I do think they will go for an interim until the end of the season once it becomes possible to sack Amorim without a big compensation figure.

I just don't see why Glasner or Iraola would leave mid-season when they could both have tremendous seasons with their current teams and maybe even be in the picture for jobs at Bayern, Madrid, Barca etc..who knows what can happen.

I can't see Ratcliffe getting Southgate. The fans don't want him and they sacked Ashworth because by all accounts he pushed for Southgate but in the end didn't align himself with the Berrada/ Wilcox vision which the club chose. Ratcliffe would look a right mug.

Ole until the end of the season I reckon.

That's what the fans want.

Weather we agree with it or not.
Being manager at the swamp is still a attractive job obviously with a ridiculous amount of wages. Plus the added fact that if it all goes wrong they would still get big job offers.
Going off how scruffy Jim looks he doesn't mind looking like a right mug.

I dont disagree they haven't improved but to actually go down they would have to have regressed substantially to be under any threat at all. I think too many are looking at position only, seeing them near the bottom and thinking its not out of the question for them to drop a few more places, but when you look at the points, it kind of is.

They finished closer in points to us last season than bottom despite being 15th. 17 points above relegation, down there, that is a chasm. If last season was replicated, they wouldn't just need 1 of the bottom 3 to have a decent run. They'd need one of the bottom 3 to practically double their tally and everybody else around them to do better, that just isn't likely.

Those that actually think its possible should lump on now and make an absolute fortune as the betting odds have them rank outsiders for something that a few here seem very confident in the possibility. They can pay for the party if the miracle did happen

Perhaps. I dont watch them to be honest. I think they've stood still after spending £200m which is a form of decline but not in points terms. I expect united to be hitting the 40-50 points range, high 30's if its especially bad. They've had probably the second toughest start and have 7 points from 6 games, even maintaining that rate, they're looking at 44-45 points which will see them stay up by a wide margin. For me, the issue is more there isn't enough teams down there good enough to better their tally and put them in the reckoning for the 3 worst teams
