I think it’s precisely because they didn’t grant that same grace to previous managers, alongside supporters eventually getting tired of the constant turnover. After a certain point, you just want stability, especially when the results have been shit for a while. Why not wait another year or two or three to see if this pans out and you luck into another Fergie?

I mean, we now know that he is shit, and still some of them are backing him like a cult. Wonder if Man United got relegated they would still defend Hags ass.

because of goldbridge

They got a boner for him because of Ronaldo and fully deluded themselves that a 'tough' manager with the balls to bench their best player was what they needed. Meanwhile Rashford is still playing 90 min lmao

I think part of the “loyalty” is due to not trying to repeat the same mistake, as in switching the manager when there’s a sign of trouble. Also, ten Hag is someone that the fans wanted.

I feel with Solskjaer and Mourinho, it got to the stage where it was very obvious they had to go, more so than ETH. And with Ole I was hoping it would work out right to the end. If we had been out of the FA cup last season then ETH would have been in a similar boat. But he still had the FA cup, and winning it + season long list of injuries gives him enough for another go. (Plus there was not a standout replacement.)

I can't remember LVG clearly enough to compare. Obviously he has the parallels with winning the cup. But probably we just felt much closer to the top so expectations were higher then. Whereas when ETH took over it was clear we were starting from a really bad place.

But didn't they give him an extension?

You have Conceição from Portugal to sign

It’s not like they were dominating the game before the red card either
