Is this still ETH fault? Or there is something more behind it?

How come each full time managers that we have post Moyes, will lose control of the dressing room starting from the 2nd season?

LVG, Mou, Ole and now ETH.

LVG won FA Cup and bring us back CL. Then got sacked. But LVG had it coming by playing boring football. And this is when Lingard, Martial & Rashford started to be the regulars to the first team.

Next is Mou, Europa League, EFL, Community Shield and back to CL again. Then got sacked as well. This time the trio is joined by Pogba.

Then Ole. The Mr Good Guy manager. Finishing 3rd and 2nd in the league. Clueless most of the time but have Fernandes to save his behind. Then got sacked after being exposed as tactically inept.  Pogba and Lingard released.

Then RR as interim. Long story short. Never had the hold of the dressing room. Player did not respect him as they knew he won't stay long.

Next is ETH turn. Managed to finish top 3. Have to deal with CR7 that causes divide among fans. Rashford & Martial still with the team.

Now into the 2nd season, the story of losing the dressing room have surfaced again. We can see some players doesn't play wholeheartedly under him.

Injury list piling up doesn't really help. And the ongoing "takeover" process also have impact on the team.

It is a known secret that the current and soon to be previous management team is incompetent. LVG, Mou and RR all said the same thing.

And they always sided with the players and throw the managers under the bus when things goes south.

So currently, I am not sure, was it ETH being stubborn on purpose, tactically incompetent OR player power is creeping in the club again.

Without the management support, player power will always be the biggest threat to our club.

Soon, once the takeover is completed and IF it is completed, we need to see where will Sir Rat stands.

If he sided the manager, then I guess heads will roll and the player power will be squashed. But if he sided with the players, then I guess this club is doomed until he changed his mind, or this club have a new owner again.

At least Mou left with his reputation intact.

Moyes - poor guy.
LVG - snore fest but he had a structure. Would have needed a few years. We were wrong, sorry sir.
Mou - Smartest of all, he knew how to get out with his reputation, and still can get work elsewhere. I always knew he wanted out and we let him out.
Ole - Couldn't bring himself to talk down the club, players, recruitment, look at his reputation now.
Ralf - Told the truth, club didn't want that at all.
ETH - seems to be a combination of all the above except Mou.

I refuse to join this charades where 11 people who play the game I love to play, get paid more than my lifetime in a week, represent the group of fans and ex-players and managers who never gave up, always gave the best but now just turn up and expect adulation. Losing is fine, but not running is not. Not tackling hard is not. Not giving it all. And then their leader comes out and repeats his contractual obligation to lie. Its like watching the North Korean news. At least those poor folk get shot for not believing. We don't. Fanhood and insanity can mix but should not.

They are not even running hard ffs. Its already obvious. Injuries is also an excuse for not bothering to turn up.
