Tbf he practically was. It was a ? show season. He himself is probably surprised at the u-turn.
There will be many managers not wanting to work under Ineos with their manager having no control whatsoever in transfers hence the Southgate links. If the Euros were not at play I imagine we would be sat here with Sir Gareth.
Ill get behind him once he starts players on merit and not the status and won’t be bending over and starting any fresh. He’s been terrible let's not bs about it. I expect more of the same come August.

He knew a review was taking place he knew they were talking to others about his position so any reasonable person in that position would have feared the worst.
Eth had no fears he was going to walk away with millions either way.
A very good professional review was undertaken as ed002 has said they could not get the one they wanted and the others didn't tick their boxes so they are sticking.
Time will tell if they got it right I hope they have.

Just admit Ken, you got it wrong. We can make excuses as to why ETH is the manager, but the man himself said publicly many times that he is staying and is unaware of any plan to replace him.

Ken, perhaps the one they wanted wasn't what they appeared when they interviewed. Perhaps, this whole situation shows that the media and everyone on the outside had absolutely zero idea of what was happening or at least how it was happening and the simplistic answer was INEOS are interviewing to replace ETH.
I've reflected on the situation and with a new leadership team coming in to shape the football side it would make sense they interview a number of candidates because as you've said, ETH was not their appointment originally and with with a full shake up of positions, it's only fair the Manager's job is included in this and maybe after discussions, ETH proved to them he was the best candidate who hasn't had the support pre INEOS to get the best out of the team. And quite frankly, why did INEOS have to come out and make a statement on all of this? The media and fans wanted it but they are not obliged to do it and we and the media are not entitled to it.

Agree ports.
Wazza I said I got it wrong.
Ed002 has told us they couldn't get the one they wanted why don't you challenge him on it?
Eth knew they were looking at other managers he was aware and was unfitness if this.
9 million reasons why he didn't their his toys out of the pram. He handled himself very well.
12 Jun 2024 20:03:37
Indeed he did Ken, we can agree on that.

Does anyone actually know if they actually interviewed others? It could all just be hearsay.
I'm sure the Eds are right on some matters, but they aren't on all, that's for sure.
In any case, move on, it is done.
