Swindon are getting another joke of a club where a manager rarely sees out a season and they bring in some washed up hasbeen. National league next?

Their owner Clem Morfuni has bitten off more than he can chew, but then following Lee Power (Shez?s mate) there were always going to be skeletons in every cupboard.

Ten Hag 👋🏽

[Osborne again]

I don't like to see Ten Hag lose his job, because it's not all down to him and his management team.
No one has got it anywhere near right since Fergie. Poor player recruitment has been an ongoing feature. Some of the best players in the world have gone to Old Trafford and haven't performed, and it can't be all down to the manager. Hopefully the new manager will get them playing again.

I've never been a Man United lover, but are things going to change when the new manager comes in. My mate is a season ticket holder and has been for years, and he can't work it out.

I suppose they think they have given him a bit of time to get better but this morning they have woken up to the realisation that yesterday they lost to West Ham and thought ?Jeez **** that !!!!!!! ?

This is a shame as I love seeing Man U lose.

I can?t see a change of manager making a massive difference currently. Spent a lot of money on some bang average players.

I'm just surprised it's took this long tbh, the club has just stagnated under TH and not improved or moved on, they don't seem to have any kind of player recruitment structure at all.

I think ETH lasting this long is symptomatic of the issues from top to bottom really. They are ?700m in debt is it but fine from FFP somehow with owners who are just happy to mop up dividend payments, sold a minority stake to someone who will run the show now cos the owners can?t be bothered and seem to have no clue about how to by players spending millions on some utter rubbish. Ferguson getting ?2m a year for an ambassador role is nonsense!

Ferguson's been told he's not getting that any more, I heard? Man U fans who think Offshore Jim will be any better than the Glazers are deluding themselves. Some of the cost-cutting penny-pinching by Ineos has been daft, whilst they waste millions on show ponies.

Exactly my thoughts mate, but let's not forget the likes of Pogba who haven't performed either. Ten Hag has fell into the same mire as all the other numerous managers who've tried to emulate Ferguson without a chance of doing so.
I said earlier that I'm not a fan of Man United, so I really don't give two hoots even if they drop into the Championship.

[Holmesc1]

Sacking ten hag aint the answer its the board that want sacking and a fan base who think anything but top 4 is a disaster. If only newcastle were as crap 2 seasons in a row with a trophy would make a manager a god there

[Misnomer]

Eddie Howe can't be far behind....
