I’d just love Jim Ratcliffe (or his top HR flunky) to meet with Ten Hag and tell him that the club have agreed to extend his contract by two years ………. Then Ten Hag to take two weeks to tell Man U to stuff it!!

As frustrating as the pace of our own manager search has been, at least we aren't United:


Who seemingly still haven't decided if ten Hag is out or not.

Are they just hoping that it'll "work itself out naturally"?


Ours hasn’t been frustrating imo :shrug:

Signed a new and improved contract with Man U now to 2026, pay rise of 30% making him the highest paid manager in the PL.

Disappointing result yesterday for the many Sussex based United fans. As Ten Hag said after the game though 'I'm not Harry Potter'. At least they have the stability of his presence after signing a 12 month extension to his current contract in the summer. For the good of United and indeed the EPL lets hope they start to turn a corner soon.

Alternatively, no :lol:

The weird thing was, nobody had asked him if he was Harry Potter, he just took it upon himself to both start, and simultaneously try to quash, that rumour.

As some joker on BBC Sport said, he’s made £670 million disappear, so there is something magic about him.

In some ways they're like the United I grew up with in the 1970s. After Mat Busby retired and before Fergie they had a succession of managers and won nothing except the odd FA Cup - and they got relegated in that time as well. (Which I can't see happening in this era of Haves and Have Nots). The shadow of Busby was long and only SAF was able to step out of it. Who will be the new SAF?

However the memory of the Busby Babes and being the first English club to win the European Cup was more than enough though to give the Man U fans a lasting sense of entitlement. Some things never change.
I am 66 and never quite understood how ManU became the darling club of England.

It seems it was a combination of Munich, Bobby Charlton winning the world cup, Georgie Best winning the European Cup and being the fifth Beatle, and a media with nothing much to talk about latching onto ManU and their glamour, because of all the above.

And then SAF made ManU what the media wanted and loved, the biggest club in the world.

The Munich factor was huge. It was before my time but it was still being talked about 10 years later. My dad wasn't a Utd fan but spoke in reverent terms of that team.

I think there was also the Manchester factor. Liverpool had become the cultural capital of England and Manchester could be seen as the sporting capital (even though Everton were a pretty useful team). And Best was a phenomenon. If you're under 50, you have no concept of Best the player, you probably think of him as a champion shagger and drunk but, boy, could he play. He definitely made Utd the glamour club
