I can’t believe I’m saying this only two games into the ten Hag reign. Erik ten Hag must leave Manchester United and this squad and hierarchy of clowns before they drag him down and destroy his reputation forever.
This is not hyperbole: Erik ten Hag is seriously at risk of being sacked only a few months into his Manchester United reign. That is how incomparably bad and toxic this club has become within the span of a 6-8 months (however long it has been since Ole was sacked).
This truly is the most dysfunctional club in world football…and, yes, I’m including Derby County in that mix. United may not be in peril of going out of business (as it is too big a brand for that), but the club has been just as (if not more) neglected by its incompetent board and hierarchy as the League 1 club in the past ten years.
I thought after that 4-0 humiliation at the hands of Brentford that I’d see dozens of new players linked to United and even a signing announcement or two. At the very least, I thought that there would be some new twist in the Frenkie de Jong epic or updates on Adrien Rabiot’s potential move to the club.
But there hasn’t even been that.
In fact, just the opposite has happened. There are now reports that Erik ten Hag and his agents is (justifiably) furious with the buffoon CEO Richard Arnold and fool Sporting Director John Murgado as they have FAILED to bring in any of ten Hag’s transfer requests.
Not only that, but there has also been reports that United are preparing to TERMINATE CRISTIANO RONALDO’S CONTACT because he is being selfish, snippy, and a “bad teammate”.
Am I living in a nightmare?
Of course, he is being selfish, snippy, and a bad teammate. He WANTS TO WIN! Not only do none of his United “teammates” want to win as much as he does, but they are also just downright scared of winning.
They’re cowards. Each and every one of them (aside from the youngsters and new signings) that has been with United since Jose Mourinho has shied away from the big moments that define winners and losers each and every time (2018 FA Cup Final, 2018 2nd Place Finish, 2020 2nd Place Finish, 2020 Europa League Semi-Final, 2021 FA Cup Semi-Final, 2021 Carabo Cup Semi Final., 2021 Europa League Final).
The only way for this club to ever function properly again is if this team is completely dismantled and rebuilt, just as Ralf Rangnick (United’s persecuted, unsung hero) said.
Starting from David de Gea and Dean Henderson in goal, through Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof in defense, to Scott Mctominay, Fred, Donny Van der Beek, Bruno Fernandes in midfield, and finishing with Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford in attack, all these players need to be sold or benched permanently.
They are the root cause of the decay on the field.
But since that would cost $500M or so to replace said players, the club will never do that as the hierarchy and the board is the other half of the decay. And that is why Erik ten Hag will fail and could get sacked before this season is done.
If it doesn’t get better, he will be jettisoned by these clowns faster than you can blink (maybe even by Christmas). Mark my words.
It happened to Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Ralf Rangnick. It will happen to Erik too.
Run while you can, Erik. Run from this reputation burning-dumpster fire while you can before it is too late.
