  1. Paywall, but it seems to say he has seemingly survived, which sounds like he’s just basing it off the lack of news, rather than an actual insight?

    Edit: just checked, but yeap. Not a brief. Just making assumptions.

    > The club’s board held the meeting at Ineos’s offices in central London on Tuesday. Ordinarily if a huge decision, such as a sacking, is decided at one of those meetings it is communicated publicly afterwards, but there was no statement from the club on Tuesday evening.

  2. Man INEOS is so damn slow to announce anything, one thing is being cautios and another is being a fucking snail.

    I’m not even “Ten Hag out” but man just announce it already or at least if you are not going to fire him also say something about it.

  3. My hope is the meeting went long, they didn’t wanna sack him via text or email so will call him in tomorrow morning and give him the news in person

  4. I know it’s early, but Ineos hasn’t impressed so far.  

     – Leaks came out how they are searching his replacement the week before the FA final, 

     – they couldn’t pull the trigger on anybody 

     – didn’t fire him, gave him a contract extension even when his contract wasn’t expiring 

     – it will now cost even more to sack him 

     – funded another 200mil of transfer who’ll be called “deadwood” under the next manager  

    -it all backfired this season 

    – they still can’t make the obvious and clear decision to get rid of him 

     I’m sure Ineos will find figure it out eventually, there are some top people in management now, butthey have a lot of catching up to do. They can start by fixing the ETH mistake.

    Seems like they are still exploring options. Maybe till next inter. break. It’s obvious that we don’t know a lot, and a lot of is going on behind the doors.

  6. Someone tell Ineos that winning the championship before 2028 doesn’t count as winning the league.

  7. I also think that he will stay at least until the next international break. That’s my feeling

  8. Shot_Explorer on

    At this stage, might aswell double down on Ten Hag. (Personally I think there should be a change) But if he does manage to make a decent fist of it and improves, they can take the win on sticking by him. If it becomes untenable, as in no change over the next 10, they can justifiably get rid. They will treat it like a business decision and at that level of business snap decisions don’t happen. They’ll have a point of no return, a date and a replacement sounded out. He doesn’t have a couple of games left, he’ll have a pre-agreed period of time where it will mutually acceptable it ain’t working. Something like losing every game before the next break would accelerate that tho, you’d assume.

  9. So depressing knowing we have another month of knowing we are going absolutely nowhere.

  10. The way we are playing is making me unsure if i will survive until the next internationals.

  11. Seeing some comments already saying “Ineos out”. Chill mates they just took over and finally set up a proper upper management for this club. I get it it’s been a miserable 11 years.

  12. Hirst needs to remember ten Hag is on holiday, any news about his sacking I think would be tomorrow once they’ve had face-to-face talks with him and settled on his payout.

  13. If this is true I’m not happy with Ineos and all their corporate bullshit, they sacked so many staff to save money and they’ll just end up giving that to ETH when they inevitably fire him several months too late. They’ve already got the managerial decision wrong by keeping him after last season and now we might waste another season because they’re too stubborn to it admit it was a mistake. Get anyone else in

  14. Decision could be made, but time given to find and negotiate with a suitable alternative. Crazy how people are making stark assumptions based on a lack of knee jerk reactions from the club…do you want Woodward back? Slow, methodical decision making is important for long term growth even if it occasionally leads to a poor outcome in the short term (eg EtH being extended beyond last season). And maybe EtH escaped the axe for now, but it doesn’t mean they aren’t actively considering alternatives
