    This is their run of games from December to mid-January. I don’t see him surviving.

    Everton (a)

    Galatasaray (a) — lose this and they’re pretty much out of CL.

    Newcastle (a)

    Chelsea

    Bournemouth

    Bayern

    Liverpool (a)

    West Ham (a)

    Villa

    Forest

    Spurs (a)

      this is actually a variation wherein the person offering the vote of confidence is doing so in part to deflect attention from his own failures. not backing ten hag would look like admitting a mistake, which is something arnold can’t afford to do if he wants any chance of retaining the job once ratcliffe comes in (he’s likely to lose it anyway, though).

      I mean by the sounds of it Arnold’s out the door himself, so I’m not sure what difference this makes.

    I know it’s all just nothing PR statement but how can anyone at Utd say in public, with a straight face, that any part of the club is making “Good progress?”

    Oh I guess actually they reported record Revenue so GGMU all is well

    Not really sure his position with anyone currently in situ matters…

    It’s Ratcliff who will make the call when the deal is ratified, and Ten Hag has shown absolutely nothing to get himself kept on.

    This is why the people in higher positions need replacing and should’ve never been given the roles though hold. “Good progress” the guy is taking the p*ss.

    My heart sank when I saw Sam Luckhurst. I was expecting an exposé about how the lads call him baldy and make him eat lunch alone in the corner 😂

    Man Utd should take the club legend route if ETH gets the sack.

    Carrick and van Nistlerooy are decent options.

    Rooney might be available soon as well, given the start he’s had at Birmingham.
