We don't think Ste wants Southgate... Like this comment if you agree!

Ground hog day. So depressingly familiar. We've seen it all before with Moyes, with Louis, with Jose, with Ole, and with Ralph. It's always the same outcome. Many of the same players, the same executives and the same owners throwing another manager under the bus. I keep hearing people saying "What have you seen in Ten Hag to suggest he should keep his job?". Errrr... last season? "United are the worst coached side in the Premier League". So explain last season? Did Ten Hag just forget how to be a football manager over the summer? What exactly is the evidence to suggest that changing the manager is going to change the outcome? There are so many factors I don't hear ANYBODY talking about. Like the fact we've got a new starting goalkeeper for the first time in 11 years. Does no-one remember the nightmare we had inbetween Schmeichel and Van Der Sar? Does no-one remember it took De Gea two years to settle in? De Gea to Onana is a HUGE transition. And he's dealing with a gazillion back fours in his first season? There's also been ENORMOUS upheaval going on with the ownership situation. Every non-playing staff member at the club unsure whether they're going to have a job from one week to the next. And then the playing staff. Ronaldo spitting the dummy. Sancho spitting the dummy. Rashford spitting the dummy. Henderson spitting the dummy. Dressing room leaks. The Greenwood scandal. The Anthony scandal. De Gea contract situation. A plague of injuries. But no, it's all down to the guy who was being praised for his brilliant, pragmatic, results focused management skills last season, who was being talked about as the guy to finally get Utd back competing. By the same ding dongs who are now calling for him to be sacked because he's not up to the job. People are useless. Short sighted, ignorant and useless. If they sack him, it's a clear sign that nothing is going to change under INEOS. If they sack him, we'll be waiting another 10 years to win the league. I hate football.

Guys I’m so bored of the Southgate talk. Just stop it. It’s not happening. Not a single credible source has presented info that INEOS are even considering him. That Lawton piece was an opinion piece dressed up as “insider info” Stephen Howson shouting for the 45th video about how Southgate is shite gets old eventually. Move on ffs

Glazers have ran the club into the ground. Woodward signed a billion worth of dross. We need an entire new set of front of office staff. Maguire is too slow. Casemiro’s legs have gone. Greenwood, Ronaldo, Antony, Sancho Etc etc Yet Ten Hagg should be sacked? I genuinely don’t get it. The club is rotten to the core and has been for a decade yet we need a new manager? He might prove to be not good enough but sacking him at this point is beyond pointless. It’ll achieve nothing.

Need to get the ‘play like you mean it’ banner back out for these shocking players. Eth may or may not be the best manager for our club but we definitely need a player clear out this summer

Roy Keane had Phil Neville as a motivator. Surely a more appropriate question is “who motivates the motivator?”

Lmao I’m sorry but I love that Joe says Ste has flipped his lid back and he immediately flips it back 😭😭😭

I watched the 99 final with a Gooner and a Spurs fan. Went from them trying to figure how to console me to all three of us hugging and jumping about with Champagne going everywhere. Great memories. 😅

“It’s got a bend in it” 😂😂😂😂😂

Im sick off hearing unrest in the dressing room. So what manager do they want? The player power is unreal. Just let them manage themselves. Do you not feel we have been here before?

Sancho has as many Bundesliga yellow cards as he does assists since his return to Dortmund (1). That paints the real picture.

I've come to a realization, fan channels like the Paddock generate revenue from negativity. Nobody ever used to talk about managers losing the dressing room until the age of fan podcasts, apparently first whiff of trouble, we're always hearing dressing room, dressing room. And Jay when you say things like "I want to see the manager here next year, BUT..." The "but" negates the previous sentence

Absolutely crackin this lads, grinning like a cat all the way through the 99 stories 😂

I was 8 in '99 watched the match in my living room. Greatest night of my life. My mate missed both United goals because he had the shits. Wounded 😂

Are we hear again what’s this the 3rd or 4th time we have covered this subject . Clearly still has players working hard for him (well done of them )

The 'coming up' section isn't needed, we are watching.

Every time I listen to your podcast, I come away feeling inspired. Thank you for what you do!

Some of these players are putrid. You're gettin paid...do your fuc*ing job.

Another ball bag who missed the England penalty was rashford of course

Aaaaand in the end, THE best football segment I’ve seen anywhere on the Internet. It’s likely the three of you are either at the premiere or close… Hope it’s everything and more.

EtH is renowned for youth development and giving youth players a chance, something Utd are famous for or were, his style of play would suite the club if he had a fully fit squad (down to analysis and medical staff mostly) and players who want to play for the club and not themselves, he can do well here and I hope that the club give him time, and the players he needs, not necessarily wants! Sort out the back room shite which has hindered the club for a decade!

What a good piece of expert journalism broadcasting by you 3. Ste is so bloody funny. Jay and joe always the sensible ones. Love it. Top work.

To what Jay was saying about them not putting an effort in, it's basically quitting. 'why should we try', 'why should you get paid ffs'. When you have to buy a contract that might open up a legal avenue to reclaim (some) transfer fee if you sack it off.

This was proper funny. Best laughs Ive had for years. Good job.

If we had got kane and dejong, we would probably be adding 2 more on the sick list for most of the season, ineos should change the medical staff asap.

This was off the brew

Brilliant stories of memories of the 99 final - wish i was alive to see it

Cheer up lads. In a couple of weeks you can do your predictions for next season and have Man Utd getting a top four finish and Arsenal coming eighth.

Was the 99 CL final during half term? It was a Weds (they weren't moved to the weekend until about 10 years ago) I was at Uni the next day. Wrecked.

We should learn from the 'Arteta out' movement. We can't keep giving managers just two seasons.

In an ideal world EtH is who you’d bring in now. Once the right people are brought in above and it’s a fresh start. Once the era of player power is over. EtH is too strict and driven for a team full of deadwood and viruses. Bringing in his own players was never going to achieve anything

Brilliant episode

Does Ste’s Southgate rant qualify as abuse, or does that only apply to Rashford?

Where’s the link for the comp?

Ste channeling Harry Enfield's "Nohhhhh" character

50:00 100% it was pure joy 🥲

It’s pretty clear the players are like this because of the culture of the club behind the scenes the things we don’t see. They must be shaking in their boots at Ratcliffe because he’s clearly not having this. Most of those players no they are finished at United

Has anyone asked would Tuchal be able to handle the same level of injuries, off pitch problems, change in ownership?

Ahhh yeah the boys are back in town

Lol, ahhhhh, fun times. Thinking about yet another full summer tour with the added factor of it impossible to get in enough players to make us more solid for next year.

In ten Hag we trust

Has Ten Hag Lost The Dressing Room? - No, No, No, look at the team he has had to pick from - SERIOUSLY wake up lads, we were shite when he came in. You lot act like it was fergie in charge before eric came in. No we've been through 2 world class managers(Mourinho and Van Gaal), a club hero Ole, Moyes and Rannick - the latter told everyone the truth 2 years ago. We are not that team anymore we need to build. For Once, let the manager build what he has in mind with his year left. just like the allowanace that arsenal, liverpool gave to there managers Artetea and Kloop and also fergie had 4 years. Also theres no managers out there that are stand out candidates, the last year we give eth, will give us time if it doesn't work out. I was there to watch every home game for 4 years when fergie came and it wasn't pretty. Stop mixing with the mainstream media , it reduces your honest opinion as you'll naturally tend towards what your "heros" think. these same heros didn't live under judgement of socia media when they played, its chalk and cheese. Yes players aren't the best on football opinion which is weird but the last few years have utterly proved it. The Media want to see us burn as it earns them money via clicks, we need to get rid of players that aren't up for it and give the manager a chance at a properly run club considering he's basically been running it after his first season after seeing what Murtough and Arnold can bring - nothing. Thats unfair, he has earned his stripes and had to deal with the crazy injury laided season Plus Ronaldo, Sancho, Antony Greeenwood and Rashford. No manager has that sort of presssure ever. Yest we are aomehow still high in the table and in an fa cup. Eric GHets to finals and i agree he needs to imporve in some of ghis decisions, but give him a chance man.

My thinking is always more aligned with Joe. He at least considers both sides of a discussion. BUT I love that Ste is an unadulterated fan who’ll just tell it like it is. In summary f*ck Southgate.

I’ve got no idea what to do now. I don’t really want him to go but eventually a manager just can’t stay - that’s the way it’s always been in football. Maybe we can do something different this time?

The thumbnail has Ste in a bucket hat, it’s going to be a good podcast.

If he lost the dressing room he’d already be sacked, why would they go into a final with a team that doesn’t want to play for the coach. Time to stop all this bollocks about Ten Hags job over and over.

I dont really believe these "downing tools" stories. They dont make sense for the players for the reasons already said, but on top of that they feel like the transfer stories where united are signing 100 players every window.

There won’t be unrest from Onana Martinez Antony mount Garnacho Hojland Mainoo. There maybe unrest from the rest who got ole sacked so fuck term they’re being sold anyway.

It used to be something to enjoy looking forward to but now there is just fear, the fear of the FA cup is growing.

Results DO lie to you, Ste. 100% correct. Even last season when his reaults were good, the performances were shit. This season the results have just matched the performances more. Honestly the results still flatter to deceive, though. On strength of performances we should tickling relegation. Ten Hag did not have a tactical vision at Ajax, Joe. Ajax had a tactical vision at Ajax. Ten Hag did nothing differently from a tactical point of view than their under 10s coach. Literally. What Ten Hag had at Ajax was a bloody fantastic squad that made an average manager look good.

Still got no idea what Ste has against sparkling water hahaha. Love his rants about Southgate though

I've paused on a good question from Joe about whether player unrest is true. I hope the answer is ineos have deliberately not backed ten hag publicly to weed out who shouldn't be wearing the shirt. Probably too high risk. But I like it as an idea.

Definitely need some 99 shenanigans 😂😂

I am sticking with ETH, not for his achievements or potential turnaround in future, and absolutely not for proving myself right. It's for principle. Up until the end of this season, I can stomach collapse, high amount of shots faced, humiliating losses and ridicules by opposition fans, but I can not stomach the club sacking yet another manager for the 5th time after Sir Alex because the players would not or could not carry out the instructions they are told to do. He lost the dressing room? Get him the dressing room that he needs!

We don't need to sack the manager. 4 managers prove that. The harsh reality is, harsh because it is pretty much impossible, is that over half the players need to go. The players need to go before any talk on managers. They can't get away with throwing manager after manager under the bus, while cashing in and sciving off. We need to start again. Bring as many up from the youth team as poss. If there ready or not. Players go before manager

Sacking Ten Hag will be setting us back years.

32:09 Steve unintentionally makes the case for keeping Ten Hag here.

In the scenario we get a result vs Arsenal, let alone Newcastle or the cup, and the narrative will shift again.

Tuchel took PSG to a UCL final because the French cancelled completely their L1 during the covid pandemic which left PSG free to prepare for the final 8 for over 4 months.

I love the people obsessed with talking tactics like it’s a science making words up to sound all scientific then ancelotti just makes a mockery of the whole exercise

I haven’t had your Greene King sponsors Carling for a couple of decades I just bought some Carling because it’s on offer. Had I known it was part of knee dropping Greene King I would have left it on the shelf.

Oh that made me laugh🤣 on Southgate 😂

That Howson hat....😂

The dressing room has been lost for years :D We still have some players in there that can't even find their way on to the pitch :D

The players need holding accountable for all of this they can’t be immune to criticism and they can’t just be aloud to get away with getting another manager sacked ETH needs to be backed and if the players who don’t have the balls to be here then get them out and get players who the quality and most importantly the mentality to be at this football club

Thing is the eorld doesnt run on what ifs, the club doesnt fill anyone with confidence long term and he wasnt exactly filled with confidence with the signings he recieved or should i say lack of signings, my guess is his confidence has been depleted more and more as the season has gone on, players letting him down, injuries left right and centre, lack of disipline in certain players, media on his arse 24/7, online fans berating him dailey! Hardly the environent that promotes confidence in anyone frankly. Feel sorry for ten hag and feel hes been managing with one arm behind his back for karge parts

Never agreed with ste so much like I did in the intro!

No the truth is that half the dressing room has lost the manager. How many times are the fans channels going to get a manager sacked in his second season. Can’t you spot the pattern yet ??? Patience is the key and back the manager and let him change the culture and get rid of the players who continue to down tools when they don’t fancy it.

Come on, the answer to is Tuchel better than Ten Hag is just "Yes.". Remember Ten Hag had only won the Eredivisie with Ajax, who are basically the Bayern in that league. He had a successful run in the CL, which surely is about time for them?

INEOS don’t get to the level they’re at by operating on guy feelings and emotional reactions. They’re pragmatic and logical and it’s not hard to see the players aren’t doing the job. They aren’t going to pay EtH to leave while paying a new manager after the academy success under EtH. It’s all part of the project and fans have to do better after a poor result in a season of poor results.

A special ...2 tickets to the cup final!!!!!! That sounds like a punishment not a prize I would love to feel confident but........

50 percent of player's wages must be in a win or draw bonus not goal-scoring or defending

This gets a like from me just on the intro 😂😂😂

EtH is clearly the mgr for us, if only we would actually give him the tools to do it. Movie on players who shouldn't be here. Recruit players who can actually run together. And recruit physios and .medical staff so that players don't break. The glazers wouldn't let us sell players at a loss so we just lived with it. Stupid.

We know Ashworth’s arrival is imminent. We know Ashworth hires English so these are names I think he'll push for 1) Southgate 2) Howe 3) McKenna (though he’s Northern Irish) 4) Carrick

Question? Winners of the FA cup get europa league football next season. If the winning team have already qualified then the runner up get it. So either way we we have europa league football next season where every we finish in the league. Unless we fiinsh 4th but that's not going to happen.

Players care to play for the manager, also don't care play for the fans.

I personally think all this Gareth Southgate talk's a potential smokescreen for Graham Potter, he's worked with Dan Ashworth before at Brighton and they performed well together. I do think we'll be going more down the English personnel route too...they might even be delaying the announcement til Ashworth's signed on the dotted............................ line.

There is something else that people haven't thought of. VAR, I'm not going on about how many times it's gone against us, that goes without saying. More though its the mental affect it has on the minds of players. With each time there is a poor outcome in this season it has to play on the players. If you watch the games back after these decisions their body language is deflated. It's like here we go again for them. It shouldn't do, if anything it ought to fire them up. It hasn't though, it's a factor that does IMO change the attitude

Ste went scorched earth on Southgate

Begging/Bidding for Southgate is crazy

Do you think that Manchester City and Liverpool had Southgate had them in their shortlist?

It might be that ETH himself decides if he's leaving. They might keep him if he is ready to be "just" a head coach and in-game manager. They might switch out the assistant managers and keep him. But he might not want that role.

Fergie used to say “express yourself, have the courage to believe and trust your ability…”

Can we please just talk about 99 on every video plz thanks X

Can't put this on Ineos not coming in and backing Ten Hag immediately. We had lost the same number of games we had won, negative goal difference, knocked out of europe in miserable fashion, knocked out of the league cup and playing awful football. The only thing thats changed since they came in is we've had another 5 months of the same thing.

I Reckon Big Jim is eyeing up Southgate as a door to Kane and other England players coming….I’m probably totally wrong 😎

Start recruiting on character and that means being very wary of large transfer fees for teenage talent - they are not fully cooked yet on maturity and are risky investment

Anyone with Real or Bayern's blueprint in terms of player management?? we need a copy

I appreciate the content, but one suggestion for improvement, could you stop banging the table? Or get some mic stands that aren't on the table.

The forget him’ do it for us attitude means you do well but you keep the toxic line manager and they take credit for your success and still get to freeze you out

Guy's, it's time to get the mic's off of the table or stop banging on it.

Ten Hag's style demands a high level of basic technical ability at every post.

Don't worry lads Utd are finishing in the top 4 and finishing 2nd no?

Totally agree any player who has even been associated with downing tools in any way shape or form needs to go ASAP….. Period end of story thats the wrong mentality we don’t want or meed amy of that.

If it’s anyone other than ETH next season it has to be Jose.

If Southgate wants to coach Manchester United, you gots to say NO!

I can see Tommy T going to Liverfool and smashing a prem title or two & United being lumbered with the waist coat.

Kevin Owens always spazing out.

Bottom line is its not which problem is the lesser of the evills. It's GET ALL THE PROBLEMS OUT! That includes: ETH, Bad players, poor culture, Poor recruitment, poor infrastructure etc. Big clubs tackle all problems or try to so that they can stay great! If ancellotti didnt win the league and was knocked out last night, he would have been fired.. if ETH reached a Champions league semi final and lost everything else this fan base would have wanted him to stay for 5 years. If you want to be great make the decisions that lead to it
