    I assume you watch pretty much every Ajax game - so how good is Ten Hag? Everyone hyping him up including Ajax fans but is there any potential red flags for why he wouldn’t suit the prem? (assuming he’s given full control over the squad & backed in the transfer window)

    Definitely true. But now its gonna be a little more difficult. The TD was fired over some bs dickpicks (which was wrong but people overreacted as always) lots of players are probably going -we need a new GK, defenders, and 1 or 2 attackers- and now Erik. But we'll see how they build back up!

    He's great as a tactic and coach. I'm sad that he's leaving. He can really make players better. Atm Ajax is really out of shape but he had great impact on the succes of the past years.

    2 things u should be prepared for ;

    - he's stubborn as f--- lol. He has his vision, and his reasons and he doesn't care what people think. Which is of course not a bad thing usually but it can definitely work against him when it doesn't go how he wants it
    - he is not a fan of the media. In Holland he often reacts irritated when Ajax lost a game. So you can imagine how its gonna be with the British media which are 10 times worse and annoying. His presentation also isn't that good.

    But personally idc about the latter, as long as his work as a coach is good!

    But I do wonder if he can do right. Its a mess over there and a difficult job to satisfy the fans. Hope he gets the time he needs and doesn't get fired. He is a coach that needs to build something you know what I mean?

    Yeah. He went to Belgium. One of the best in the world, he's resonsible for the greatest transfers (both in and outgoing) OAT. Still dumb they let him go so quickly, they only did it to send a message like its 2022 everything u do u need to be crucified for lol

    Thanks bro. As long as he’s honest that’s fine with me - I hate the media over here. Sounds like he’ll annoy them lol.

    What about Antony - we’ve been linked with him but I’ve heard mixed opinions? Barcelona looking to get either him or Raphinha too

    Doesn’t matter who the manager is at the minute, it won’t work. Utd need a complete new squad, like 15 new players lol.

    Yeah but you might as well get the best manager possible to put these clowns in their place. Luckily we’ll have about 10 leaving anyway due to contracts etc. If we had competent owners we’d never be in this position, so the underlying blame will always be on them if they carry on not caring.

    inb4 rival fans referencing our net spend saying ‘how can you complain about the owners’ lmao

    Who
    How are they going to replace those players? (I know they’re s--- anyway) but the board will only give around 200 million to spend. No way can they get over 3 good players with that amount of money. Whole thing is a mess.

    £200m is a lot mate, but realistically only getting £120m plus money from any sales. The main thing is freeing up wages from Cavani, Pogba, Lingard, Matic, Mata, etc which will allow us to sign more. If you let Ten Hag & Rangnick build with that money then we’re heading in the right direction.

    The problem before hasn’t necessarily been the sum of money spent, but rather on who it was & overpaying i.e Maguire, Dan James & Wan Bissaka for £150m looool Ten Hag & Rangnick wouldn’t authorise that. Ed Woodwards f----- us over massively. Give the money to people with footballing brains & they can find value

    Not yet. There's someone taking care of it now, and we got Huntelaar to help out too. But think they gonna look for someone else. Not an easy position to replace someone like Marc sadly

    Yeah media are the worst. They care more about a good story than getting something useful it seems. Not all of them ofc. Over there its even worse, and USA lol. But yeah Erik will just act like a stubborn shithead I love it. His english is the absolute worst, I'll show u lmao its hilarious

    I dunno. I heard 65 mill. Would be fine by me but Bayern also wants/wanted him. He's not that consistent though

    Mate look at the price of players in our league lol rice on his own is 150 mill… manager needs premier league proven players, too many euro players come to our squad and flop, same for other clubs. I’d take Wolves cdm over Rice any day, neves is a top player.


    Off topic… u watching Fury vs Whyte?
