If ETH is not allowed to mess with the roots and internal organs of MUFC, we are doomed for another cycle. To the owners, another 1-3 years of failure is nothing since we already have 10 years of nothing....perhaps to all of us as well. But it is true that we are all falling out of relevance, and if I (a fan of 30 years) can't give a damn anymore, we may end up becoming Nottingham Forest. And it is NOT PROFITABLE TO BE Forest.

So I hope with all my heart, that they find the one with courage and skill and empower him to the right and hard thing. We have all learned, even as fans that we are wrong to simply criticize based on results...I admit. Right now, I may even take Moyesy back (anyone except yes man happy go lucky Ole) and really tear Pogback and co a new butthole for their laziness.

Personally, as long as Maguire plays you can count me out of watching or caring.

There is sufficient time for us to get carried away later. I am so done with Utd and its accompanying media circus.

I predicted a 3-0 first half and 0-0 second half after they switch off and avoid injuries. I see that salah played to the end. Guess I forgot they are pros, my mistake.

Liverpool did drop the intensity second half. Felt both goals in the second half were literally gifts by Maguire.

Of course, I should have never under estimated the generosity of Lord Maguire, the only player who represents 19 teams in EPL, the hardest player De Gea's ever played with, scorpion kungfu master

My biggest mistake.

Yes, this is our Lord and saviour. Player of 19 separate teams in EPL (A Guinness world record).

Ralf has not done much by most account. He tried to make us press and it only worked for 10minutes.
After that back to helter skelter.

So, in this case since he also knows its FUBAR - he just let the world and owners see how sh!t Maguire (and the rest of players like Pog) really are. Not a terribly awful plan. Since that will finally rule out that it was only Ole who is stupid enough to stick with this team.

Multi factorial root cause does present a more difficult problem to solve. Its not just a matter of either tactics, coaching, fitness, recruitment, youth development, attitude and mentality. Perhaps it is ALL.

Welcome Erik Ten Hag. Hope you do well and make me fall in love again. But if he starts with the Fridge captain again I will just switch off.

We are a mid table team by personnel and work ethic. Everyone says they want to get back to the top but it doesn't come free.

Keep the same method and expecting different outcome is defined as madness. I am not even sure ETH can overhaul this team (unless he is allowed to fire every single player other than De Gea and Ronaldo).

So ETH starts from below zero…all the best to him, it’s not that hard. Let 5-10 players go. The rest will buck up.

So much talk and words. Just like Ralf who walked right into a minefield 6 months ago and came out looking like a clown.

Gonna be a long cold windy and rainy Tuesday at Stoke all season for him. What I do want to see is some punishment for the jackasses who destroyed our club. From outside we can’t really tell but it’s not that difficult. In this sense even Maguire looks innocent. It’s ok if we lose but let’s name and shame and wallop anyone not putting in the full shift + 10%. Looking at Rashford, Martial and co.

Manchester United: Inside Ralf Rangnick’s spell as interim manager
Laurie Whitwell
May 23, 2022

Ralf Rangnick’s reign has ended in failure.

tldr; how $hit this german dude is, not his fault because he is not ready to take up a bigger club and handled big superstar ego .. inexperienced .. total failure

Note: Added spoiler as the article is quite long. Thanks.

The part where someone claims to have known Fergie's glinting eye reaction in a meeting between him and Armas, makes me doubt the entirety of the article.

Either way, I don't see Ralf as failed in a major way, he just didn't succeed as wildly hoped (ok, this is really sounding like Malaysia politikus). The rot is deep. I thought it was just Mr.Clueless that didn't realize this but now it looks like he was just trying to treat terminal disease with "loving care"...many times you don't beat it and once in a while it takes a surgeon to cut it out. So now its ETH's turn, and I'm not even sure ETH has the balls to dig so deep and clean things but I must hope. Heck, pool also had deep problems when Klopp took over (Although nowhere as smelly as MU now). It takes guts and balls to go through suffering and come out on top. Think of Ralf as a trailblazer for ETH to do the cleansing. And hopefully all the ghosts will be exorcised come August 2023.

The fact that Ralf will still be around in some capacity shows that he wasn't here just for 6 months salary and a sticker on his CV, but he will be doing work to bring us around the depths.

I believe any 60+ year old still taking on such high profile roles in that stage of their lives are either extremely motivated, crazy or desperately short of $$$ or some combination.

we know many players are "supposed" to leave, and if it really does, we do need new players (don't really care now is it signing or youth promotion)

To be honest I'm not having very high expectations on the youth either. Our rot does not end with first team miraculously, usually this kind of things will cascade to youth too. Perhaps only the women's team is truly independent.

Woke up and saw a virus free MUFC. Its been a while.
Smells like fresh grass. But saw the Timber highlights and I shrank. This is ETH brand of defending? How on earth did they win their Eredivisie?

I dont rate anything coming out of Ajax right now, since Blind and VDB came around.

This also applies to ETH but I know well that managers don't win games, its the players.
