Boooo
Terrible news, ruined the bank holiday weekend

Sigh. Devastated by that news. So unfair on him!

I feel a bit bad that we got that undeserved win against them earlier in the season now. #justice4Erik

Too far?

    Good news is there’s every chance they hire a bigger disaster.

      JazzG Imagine this leaking before an FA cup final, joke of a club.

      It's weird because it's so ... managed? Surely the INEOS mob have fed this to the press. Are they trying to make the story something other than City doing them over?

        An early farewell Erik, you flew too close to the sun, my hero and inspiration ... I guess that's how your head got that way. You were never the type to hang around making an idiot of yourself.

        Truly one of the most exciting and enthralling managers this league has offered us. I hope he gets to speak his truth on the way out the door.

          goon so far the names linked to them are promising. The way poch turned Chelsea around made me think he could improve united

              They have a bunch of shit players though. A lot of shit and a lot of inexperience. It would take a brave manager to go in there and try to get a consistent tune out of that band. Varane is done. Lisandro Martinez looks crocky. Dalot? Wan Bissaka? Luke Shaw? Some kid.

              In midfield another cacophony of pointlessness. Bruno, busted Casemiro, some random guy and some kid.

              Forward line. Rashford, 90millyAntony, not haaland, some ugly kids.

              Where do you want to start as a new manager. There's a lot to do, and united fans will not give you the time to do it. They're rabid animals. 🙂

              Good thing he’s never won anything in English football.

              Poch to Utd would be a dream as we don’t have to worry about them for a while.

                this saddens me. ETHs stiff jawed delusion that he could turn things around was a wonderful distraction. I reckon poch or tuchel will do better than him. they won't be the deep fix they need, but they will make more of what's available at united

                the ructions at barca, liverpool, bayern, Chelsea, United etc. makes one even more thankful of the stability we have going into next season. we have a great leg up on most of the field

                Woke up and seen the news. Just been sobbing uncontrollably tbh. Meant to be going to a beer garden today but I can't face it, not in this state. Someone please tell me this is fake news?

                I actually think he's been pretty unlucky. Can you imagine if we had Evans and Casemiro at the back? Or even Casemiro in midfield? The whole system falls apart, we'd instantly be a shitshow.

                His purchases have been a shitshow though. Casemiro, Mount, Antony... even Hojlund looks average to me. Two years after he's taken over the squad looks significantly worse.

                His supporters say that he didn't negotiate for Antony and the other fees but the fact is they were all high profile players HE wanted and the board backed him on those. He also had a veto on transfers he didn't want. Antony cost Ajax themselves 20 odd million, and obviously they'd charge a mark-up.

                Summer 2022 - We bid to Ajax for Martinez (First choice LB) for around 30-40m, United took negotiations to an extreme and ended up paying 50-60m. Pony up another 80m because now Ajax realises they can take them to the cleaners because of Martinez, then a disaster initial showing ends up with the desperate deal for Casemiro.

                Winter 2023 - After spending all his 200m budgets, ETH starts crying about the lack of funds for January and even then they get him Sabitzer (and Weghorst) on loan.

                In the entire season, they only sell about 5-10m TOTAL worth of talent so net spend is around 200m

                Summer 2023 - Starts by paying 60m for Mount who's had an injury prone season and plays most naturally in a position filled by arguably their best player. Pays 50m to land a keeper available for free the season before and in a year of a considerable number of GK purchases in the PL, proceeds to land probably the worst one in terms of value. Pay approx 15-20m in wages and fees to get amrabat for the season. Only decent signing is Hojlund.

                Winter 2024 - Starts complaining about money again after spending another 170 odd million in the summer.

                This is why I swore they'd beat us at Old Trafford. Ten Hag is a wondrous being. If they hold this lead he'll have half-humiliated Ratcliffe and probably done more than the next Frankenstein's hunchback to dare to take the job will over the next season. He's a moron, but he's somehow a golden electric moron. What a glorious contradiction his whole tenure would be if he were sacked on the eve of an unlikely FA Cup victory. Or perhaps ... this is just the prelude to their latest extraordinary collapse?
