Time to cut our losses in the summer, given that we now have someone at the top who actually gives a shit about the club. |

I think the idea is someone who would be a clear upgrade on EtH - is Potter?
What happened at Chelsea - a similarly toxic environment to our own - is hardly massively encouraging. |

This is my main concern. Liverpool get a couple of injuries, they bring in a couple of players you've not heard much of, yet they still stay the same formidable outfit. We get an injury (Martinez) and we're back to looking shit. We get a couple of injuries and we're back to looking abysmal. Fulham totally deserved the win, NQAT. We didn't have a shit on target for 26 minutes (was it?) in the 2nd half. Its just not good enough. Then there's the subs. He's gotten a lot right this and last season, with us getting late winners etc but he's got an awful, awful lot wrong. How long do you need to see Marcus Rashford is looking as dangerous as a toddler wielding some candyfloss? Happens for too often (today, as an example). And the injuries. Wtf is going on? I've never known anything like it. We get most of our players back, then they're all out within a game or 2 - it's £#%&!ing crazy. Something isn't right. The main thing is how extraordinarily poor we are for huge swathes of games and we always look like the plucky underdogs. But then, we had this mentality from day 1 with Moyes and its not really stopped. Sick of us being humiliated. And if it wasn't a question of "Who would you have instead?" I'm sure everyone would be voting 'out'. |

In.
Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho, ten Hag. All established managers that have failed to get a consistent tune out of the club. As Ratcliffe has said, its the environment at the club at the highest levels that needs to be fixed, as that is what lays the foundation for a coach to be successful. With people like Berrada and Ashworth in place, it will inevitably lead to improvements on the pitch, and last season showed that ten hag is capable of creating a winning culture in the dressing room. People criticise his signings, but he has been forced to operate in a horrendous environment with the Glazers providing such limited funds during the proposed sale of the club. Of his 16 signings, 8 have been either loans or free transfers. He has made 6 'big money' signings in Martinez, Casemiro and Antony in his first summer, and Mount, Onana and Hojlund in his second summer. Martinez has been a very good signing, despite the injuries, Casemiro had a very good first season, and was also a backup signing after that @#%&! Richard Arnold embarrassed himself running around Catalonia after De Jong, and its well documented that it was the club's lack of planning that had them overpay for Antony. Moving onto last summer's signings, he's been unlucky with the injuries that Mount has suffered, and the player would most likely be a regular starter if fit, given how thin we are in midfield. Most would argue that Onana has been an upgrade on De Gea, and we're starting to see more consistency from him since the AfCoN, and Hojlund looks like he will develop into one of Europe's elite centre forwards. On top of all this, ten Hag has had to deal with both the Greenwood and Sancho issues. I can't think of many managers that wouldn't have struggled under all those conditions above, with such a poor structure at a club undergoing a sale. There is a valid question about a style of play not being developed, but I do think this is a result of the environment at the club. When half of your signings over a 2 year period are desperate loans and free transfers, it is not easy to implement a defined style of play. Get the leadership structure and culture at the club right, and the coach will have a platform to succeed. Or you can scream like a toddler and pin the entirety of the blame on the manager, and around we go again... |

In, Fulham defeat doesn't define him.
.. He played the guys you outers have been asking for, you got no Antony...... What gives now ? Today was on the players, 75 minutes of SHITE then the ultimate sporting KITT.... That's football |

Don't see any future for him.
The football is woeful and he seems clueless as to how to change things at times. Some of his decisions are flat out baffling. A new team will want their own man in and rightly so. |

If your Ten Hag out, I don't think you need to do much, but be silent, and watch him continually injure his players through the risk of excessive "high intensity training"
He's been getting a bounce off the youth, and now he's injuring them. |

Wait until the end of the season but there is nowhere near enough of a foundation to build on. The football is shit, style of play is seen for 20 mins per match on a good day and his judgement extremely questionable. He’s not the biggest issue but he doesn’t look like much of a solution either
