United Against Change
Manchester United supporters are rallying for action against the club’s part-owners INEOS, in the event that manager Erik ten Hag is dismissed. Fans are adamant that ousting Ten Hag would be a grave error and are prepared to demonstrate their discontent, drawing parallels with previous protests against the Glazer family’s ownership.
INEOS Under Scrutiny
The rising tension comes on the heels of a Football Insider report suggesting that Ten Hag’s job is on the line regardless of the team’s performance in the FA Cup final against Manchester City. INEOS is reportedly planning a performance review, with Ten Hag’s tenure as a focal point.
A History of Protest
Manchester United’s fanbase has a history of mobilizing against ownership decisions they disagree with. Protests have been staged in the past against the Glazers, and now Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS faces similar threats. The manager’s track record of securing Europa League football and leading the team to an FA Cup victory has not quelled the unrest.
Fanbase Makes Its Voice Heard
Supporters have taken to social media to express their support for Ten Hag, criticizing INEOS for any potential plans to replace him. An open letter has been directed at the owners, and various forms of protest are being considered, including plane banners, petitions, and social media campaigns.
Concerns Over Potential Replacements
The fan community has voiced concerns over potential managerial replacements, with names like Thomas Frank, Mauricio Pochettino, Gareth Southgate, and Thomas Tuchel being met with skepticism. The sentiment is clear: INEOS’s credibility is at stake, with comparisons being made to the Glazers, dubbing INEOS the “Brexit Glazers.”
Call to Action
A call to action has been issued to Manchester United fans, urging them to make their stance known and to take proactive measures to support Ten Hag. Suggestions include organizing protests at Old Trafford, particularly on bank holiday Monday, to draw media attention and pressure the ownership.
United in Support of Ten Hag
The message from the fanbase is unequivocal: back Ten Hag or face the consequences. The fans have dubbed Ten Hag “the chosen one” and are prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure his position is secure, reflecting a majority support for the Dutch manager.
Coaching Rumours Swirl
In related news, speculation about Kieran McKenna’s stance on the United job has surfaced, adding another layer to the unfolding drama at Old Trafford. The club and its supporters wait with bated breath to see what the future holds for their beloved team and its management.
