Ten Haag says he's not Harry Potter or Graham Potter.

Could he be Pansie Potter cos hes certainly not Alan Potter.

Which ever Potter he is or isn't, don't disrupt him, his work is winning admirers across the globe.

All hail Ten !!

I predicted Ten Hag would last Ten Games at the beginning of the season, 3 down 7 to go.

Ineos might think they can ride the shot storm from the media but they are so naive. Utd constantly get the media spotlight (Twats) but this is the flip side of that spotlight and its causing them so many issues.

Their fans demand results, their media pander to the fans, the media demand results. Utd will never have the time to find the right manager.

We could be watching the death of that club......Their fans already have half the mindset of accepting an FA cup win as success (Knowing that they can never win the PL). Being top 4 is now the target. The club have spent so much money that they cannot spend much more and will have to go the way Barca have. The rest of the football world is leaving them behind (Brighton, Newcastle, Spurs, even Brentford are run and managed better - Its accepted fact). But most of all the fans and the media (Their media) are so angry they want them to fail, there's an appetite for them to fail badly just to prove they are right that the Glazers are poison for the club.

In a perfect storm they could get relegated. Especially if they stick with this manager until breaking point, then knee jerk manager appointment that doesn't go well and then downward spiral. I would love it.

Nice, especially the "could get relegated" bit. I could only imagine though the panic in PL HQ if that scenario was ever on the horizon. I think it would be all hands to the pump to keep them up if you know what I mean. Unfortunately though there will be a number of teams worse than them this season. Coupled with their stuffy late winners and so on, I think the best we can hope for is mid table mediocrity from them.

Man utd wont be getting Southgate but instead will be getting Colgate as it has a ring of confidence about it.

More like Cow & Gate,milk for all the babies.

Don't worry; he'll need to learn how to handle large quantities of Manure

He should have learnt by now.

He sees vast quantities of it on the swamp pitch every other weekend.
