Dunno how reliable di Marzio is but he's saying ten hag is set to leave the club.
22 May 2024 17:19:04
Just seen the same. And as part of the same rumour it says United have already agreed terms with De Zerbi to take over. It says United agreed a fee with Brighton to let him go but to keep it quiet on where he is going.
Could be a load of rubbish. Hope so, don’t fancy De Zerbi.
22 May 2024 17:25:56
Hope not. I’m still not convinced by De Zerbi. That said, it would still be a step up on Ten Haag.
22 May 2024 17:48:48
Fall guy, I don’t know what you read but the DiMarzio report doesn’t state that.
It says they’ve spoken to McKenna, will speak to poch and there’s interest in di Zerbi but no contact.
22 May 2024 17:54:47
De Zerbi would be a great choice, interesting if true.
22 May 2024 17:55:59
A more appropriate headline would be "Italian Journalist states something that's been said all year to unknown outlet without confirming his source".
Until confirmed by the club, I'm not reading into anything.
22 May 2024 18:31:57
BBC reporting it too but I'll keep the champagne on ice until its confirmed by the club over the next couple of weeks.
22 May 2024 18:47:59
Sorry, it wasn’t part of the same rumour. The de zerbi part was from someone else, can’t remember who now. Even said the compensation for him was £4.3m.
Like I said it could be a load of rubbish. But the ETH leaving part seems to be more accurate.
I’m hoping it’s Poch coming in.

Whatever we decide we need to get it done and move on. Lots of players to sell, new faces need brought in and we still haven’t got the director of football sorted. We need to have all our ducks in a row so we can have a good season and hit the ground running next year. For 2 many summers now we’ve been lagging behind, disorganised and hesitant…let’s hope this year sets the tone in a good way.
22 May 2024 20:46:22
That should have said good pre season so we hit the ground running next year. We will especially need that if we have a new manager, with new ideas and tactics.
22 May 2024 22:56:11
Whatever the decision it needs to made quickly and the preferred candidate appointed within the week.
23 May 2024 04:15:47
i read elsewhere it is Napoli who paid that 4 million for De Zerbi. all rumours I guess.
23 May 2024 08:16:57
I think Ineos have done the sensible thing here. Taken their time, assessed the team’s performances, tactics and training methods, mood amongst staff and players, and come to a conclusion they feel is right for the club. Also, if ten Hag was staying, they’d have announced it by now.
They will see and know far more than we do from the outside. And if Ed2 says Erik is not the right man to take us forward, I respect that knowledge too and think it’s time.
Not sure who I’d go for as his replacement still though. The next few weeks will be super interesting.
