I wouldn't doubt if Arsenal will be able to win the premier League next season because in as much as most people feel that they did not play well but truly they actually tried their best but still let's not conclude that Arsenal will be the right candidate for the premier League next season because in as much they have a good performance their are also club that has more to offer such as Manchester City, so for now I think Manchester City will be their serious rival considering the fact that their players are now intact, Kelvin de Bruyne and the rest are very ready for the next season, so their is no way we are going to be sure on the right candidate now because considering the speed Tottenham Hotspur had on this season when they were unbeaten you would almost believe that the premier League belongs to them but look how everything change, so perhaps previous performances has proven that sometimes the club we feel that will performance well could become a struggling team when the time will come.
No one knows what will happen to Arsenal next season, it could be that they will be better or worse and we also haven't seen the transfer movements of these teams, but we can make a little prediction because in the last 2 seasons Arteta has succeeded in building the Arsenal team. is much more developed so this is also possible for next season.
Regarding winning the Premier League title, it is not easy and we can see that there has always been quite fierce competition, and I think it is not only Manchester City and Arsenal that are worth considering but there are also several other teams that are worth considering and in terms of percentages everything is not much different.

£50m for Eddie Nketiah? isn't that too expensive? Arsenal may not be able to think anymore in the transfer market this time. I know they need a new striker for next season and that's why they have set a price for Eddie Nketiah at that amount. That doesn't make sense and perhaps it's more likely that Eddie Nketiah is only valued at £10m.

This player only performed well for a few moments and after that he started to flop. So it would be too much for Arsenal to ask for that kind of fee for any team interested in him. On the other hand, I'm not sure there are other teams in the EPL or teams from other leagues that are interested in him except the Turkish league or the Saudi league that came to sign him.
This is an effort made by Arsenal, this is very reasonable even though £50 million is very expensive but of course there will be negotiations that will take place with the teams interested in bringing in Eddie Nketiah.
Currently West Ham United is one of the teams interested in bringing in Eddie Nketiah.

The high price will be a problem, but if Arsenal really wants to let Eddie Nketiah go then West Ham will carry out fierce negotiations to get the player, this is part of the marketing that Arsenal management is trying to do, and we have to realize that Arsenal management is quite smart about that matter.

Regarding the quality of Eddie Nketiah, I think he is a young player who can continue to develop, he is only 25 years old and individually he is quite good.

People probably hope so. Namely, he hopes that Osimhen will reduce his desire to leave Napoli after this club succeeded in bringing in a really great coach like Antonio Conte. But unfortunately the speculation currently circulating is different. Because Antonio Conte seems to still want the club to bring in Lukaku from Chelsea. Meanwhile, the club seems to only be able to grant Conte's request if Osimhen is successfully released in the transfer market this time. Because I heard that Napoli plans to bring in Lukaku from Chelsea if Osimhen is released. With this I think it is clear that Conte prioritizes bringing in Lukaku rather than keeping Osimhen at the club. But until now it seems there has been no official offer from any club for Osimhen. Even though several clubs are interested and have approached Osimhen, in fact they have not made an official offer. For example Arsenal and Chelsea and also PSG.1

Reference:

This is quite strange, I'm sure there is something behind all this because it is impossible for Conte to choose Lukaku over Osimhen, in terms of quality these two players are very different, Osimhen is still very young compared to Lukaku and Osimhen's quality is much better than Lukaku and also as seen in several In the last season, Lukaku's performance has declined very much, so there really isn't a proper comparison between the two for Lukaku's strengths, there isn't, so I think this all doesn't make sense.
I believe Osimhen no longer feels at home at Napoli or Napoli management needs fresh funds to bring in other players and Osimhen is the victim for all of that.

Joćo Palhinha and Michael Olise are both close to signing their contract with Bayern Munich.

Kompany must have a direct role in these transfers I assume.  Smiley  He knows both players pretty well from the Premier League. Honestly I believe both transfers are quite good. Palhinha is a wonderful DM. There are Kimmich and Pavlovic also who can play as DM. Kimmich is mainly right-back and he played there quite many times last season. Maybe it would be like Palhinha as DM and Kimmich as RB from now on.

Michael Olise is a great transfer. He would be Bayern Munich's future on the right wing. Gnabry isn't playing like in the past anymore. He would even leave maybe. Sane is the first choice but I think Olise can create some good competition against him.  Smiley
It looks like Kompany was given the freedom to recruit the players he wanted and Bayern management fully supported Kompany in building the Bayern team, this was great.

Joćo Palhinha and Michael Olise stand out players but unfortunately they are not in a strong team so these two names are not very popular in the Premier League but I am also sure that Kompany has different views for these two players and I think Kompany will bring in several players who fits his coaching style, Joćo Palhinha and Michael Olise are a good start.

Michael Olise is still 22 years old, this is good enough for the future, individually Michael Olise is also talented enough that it is possible for him to develop further with a much bigger team like Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid is still successful without having a great striker on par with Benzema. but Real Madrid can have this success because they have thorough preparation. And Joselu last season also played an important role in filling this void. The presence of Bellingham, who is only an attacking midfielder, can also cover the shortcomings at the tip of the spear. Because Bellingham is quite productive in scoring goals.

And next season Real Madrid will really be even more extraordinary. Because Benzema's position, which was initially vacant and temporarily filled by Joselu or sometimes Vinicius Jr., has now found a replacement, namely Mbappe. And not only that, Real Madrid will also have a talented young striker, namely Endrick. So Real Madrid will look to have a brighter season next season.
Last season's success is indeed a benchmark that even though Real Madrid doesn't have a new striker to replace Benzema, they can still achieve success, but that doesn't mean this can be ignored because last season it looked like they were lacking in the front line and Ancelotti did many of the right things to fill the void.
Recruiting Mbappe is not the only reason but Mbappe is one of the best players in the world and Real Madrid has been targeting him for a long time so a player like Mbappe is really needed in the team.

And Joselu is just a complement, there are no expectations for players who are no longer young like Joselu.
Ancelotti built Real Madrid with sufficient solidity and equal preparation on all fronts so as not to change the team's performance despite player rotation.
And I think Real Madrid will really be very strong in the next few seasons.

I personally see that the real problem with AC Milan is not only the coach. but also on the depth of the squad. But yes, it is also quite natural for the AC Milan club to fire Pioli. Because even though AC Milan managed to finish in second place in Serie A, we have to remember that AC Milan experienced quite a lot of failures in other competitions.

For example, AC Milan failed in the UCL group stage. Then they only managed to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League. And apart from that, AC Milan also failed in the Coppa Italia, namely in the quarter-finals. This has also led to rumors that Pioli will be fired since before the season finished. But I personally didn't expect that this would actually happen. Because I think that AC Milan actually just needs to strengthen the depth of their squad and try again next season. But yeah, there's no harm in trying a new trainer. because it could be that this new coach can bring better changes to AC Milan.
The AC Milan team does not have strong finances to bring in many quality players, so I think what Pioli has built so far is something very extraordinary, other coaches may not be able to do that with the existing limitations.
So Pioli's dismissal was a big mistake.
We'll see next season AC Milan with their new coach, I'm sure they will be even worse.

A team like AC Milan must be built on a strong foundation with a long processing time, because of the financial limitations they have, let's just look at the squad in the AC Milan team, they are no better than Inter Milan so it's only natural that they can't compete.

Last season, AC Milan was quite bad, but we cannot forget what Pioli has built since his arrival, there have been quite a lot of positive changes in the AC MIlan team, Pioli should be retained to continue this process.
Now I really doubt AC Milan, and for the competition for the Scudetto next season I will not put AC Milan there.

The draw obtained by Switzerland vs Germany is still a profitable result for both teams. Good for Germany and also Switzerland. That way, Germany can still be ranked 1st and Switzerland can still secure a ticket to qualify for the round of 16 by being ranked 2nd.
This was not profitable for Switzerland, even though if they had won Switzerland could have won the group but unfortunately in the final minutes of the match the German team managed to score a goal and make the result a draw.
Switzerland did their best in this match but they were just unlucky.
It is true that Switzerland and Germany both qualified for the round of 16, but the group winners and runners up have differences, there is an ease in the round of 16 for the group winners who will face the other group runners up, and the opposite is true for the runners up, so the result is a draw. clearly very detrimental for Switzerland.

Quote
Croatia cannot be underestimated. Even though their performance this time was not as good as their performance at the World Cup. But we have to remember they still have most of the same players who really have quality. So, even against Italy, Croatia can still be expected to play quite well as long as they are in their best condition. But if Croatia is still in the same condition as when they faced Spain and Albania then I don't think we can expect too much from Croatia. Luka Modric and his friends will definitely fight harder this time. Because this is like the last chance for them to win tickets to the round of 16.
To be realistic, after seeing the two matches that Croatia has played and the two matches that Italy has played, it is clear that Croatia is not really the favorite, unless there is a big surprise that occurs.
Croatia's performance has fallen very far now, we can't match it with a few years ago and on the other hand Italy's performance has improved so I think Italy will have no difficulty winning the round 3 match to ensure a ticket to the last 16.

I think Pochetino has already laid the foundation for this new coach,he has already set Chelsea in a position that they can go into next season and start winning games.The players have understood themselves a little bit,and can blend together if this new coach gives them a pattern that is simple to them.I hope that this man will do well because Chelsea have really suffered when it comes to coaches that they've hired.None of them have been able to replace Tuchel who gave them Champions league trophy,and uptill now,I know they are still regretting sacking him.
I think what Pochettino has built will not have any effect because of course every coach has different tactics and now Chelsea will be rebuilt by Enzo Maresca.

Chelsea management has made many mistakes since the start of sacking Tauchel and firing Pochettino, no one knows what Chelsea management wants, they think with lots of money they can buy success, that's a very big mistake.
And I'm sure that if Chelsea management can't produce results from this attitude then Enzo Maresca will also not be able to provide achievements or improve Chelsea's performance in a short time, everything takes time and a process.

There were more concerns with PSG than just player conflict. Team egos have won big before, right? See Real Madrid's Galacticos. Having older stars and playing in a league that's easy compared to the Champions League doesn't help. Know what? I like this "new" PSG. Without Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe , other players may flourish. The team may play together, determined to prove they're not overpaid prima donnas. May PSG surprise everyone this year? Not likely, but football has seen stranger stuff, right?
We have not yet seen PSG without Mbappe, perhaps only at the beginning of the last season, when the situation with Mbappe was not clear and he was not preparing with the team. Then PSG looked bad, but I admit that the reason was not only the absence of Mbappe, but also that Enrique had just joined the team, and he was just starting to build the team, strategy and game. Anyway, Mbappe was a very significant player for PSG, how it will be now is not yet clear, but someone will definitely take his place and will score, since PSG has always created many chances in attack.
It cannot be denied that Mbappe is a player who has made quite a big contribution to the team, of course losing Mbappe will be quite felt for the team.
However, PSG also cannot afford to drag on, they are a team that has strong finances so it is possible for PSG to be able to rebuild this team and be able to develop much further even without Mbappe.

To be honest, I prefer PSG without Mbappe because now PSG can focus on building a squad that is evenly distributed across all lines without being able to just hope or depend on Mbappe alone.

Luis Enrique is a very experienced coach and has good qualities, and I am sure that if PSG management gives full support to Luis Enrique then he will be able to build this team to be much better in the next few seasons.

Of course, Napoli's main focus at the moment is to recover from adversity and it is hoped that with the arrival of Antonio Conte this plan can run well. The reason is that if we look at Napoli last season it was very chaotic and I even gave up on their poor performance. Even when placing a bet I was no longer interested in Napoli and chose a promising team like Inter or Bologna.

Fresh funds must be disbursed by the club president and management to support the needs needed by Antonio Conte and of course he does not want to be given responsibility with the current players. If Napoli don't want to spend large enough funds on transfers, they have to prepare for the worst by repeating the same season as last season.
To build a team requires a process and strong finances to support the coach in recruiting the players he wants. I think Napoli's management is aware of this and with their current capabilities they will definitely try to rebuild this team from scratch after last season's failure.

Napoli management's decision to recruit Antonio Conte is a pretty good step, Antonio Conte is a coach who has good qualities and is very experienced in Serie A so it is very likely that he will be able to make Napoli rise, but not necessarily in his first season he will immediately be able to get Napoli back on track. in the top flight again, everything also requires a process and Napoli's management must also be patient for that and not make the mistake of changing coaches again like they did last season.

We can see from the progress that has occurred against Arsenal in the last two seasons and it is true that if this can continue then it is very likely that Arsenal's performance will be better next season, I do not doubt that and I believe in the process that is being carried out by Arteta is with Arsenal and if management continues to support Arteta then I am sure they will be able to win the Premier League trophy in the near future.
Arteta already knows what must be done and improved next season with Arsenal, because from last season he can reflect that he and Arsenal have made better progress compared to previous seasons so for next season he will try to make things even better for Arsenal to win this quite prestigious trophy in the Premier League. I still place Arsenal as a team that will be at the top of the Premier League and can still be said to be a candidate team to win next season if the key players are still the same as last season.
As long as Pep Guardiola is still Manchester City coach, I think it will be difficult for Arsenal to be at the top of the standings and win the Premier League title.
The Arsenal team doesn't have a strong mentality, this team is full of young players and that is the reason they have been unable to compete with Manchester City in the last 2 seasons for the Premier title and I see that management doesn't want to spend a lot of money to buy star players, this is which has always been Arsenal's problem.

Of course there is a big possibility for Arsenal's performance to improve next season, but I still doubt that they can win the Premier League next season, maybe it will take several more seasons for Arteta to build an Arsenal team to surpass Manchester City.

We haven't really seen any problems in Real Madrid's attack, so Mbappe will be just another player for Ancelotti to rely on in attack. This could make it even more difficult for Joselu to get game time, but that is not something Anceloti will be worried about. Mbappe quickly adapted when he moved from Monaco to PSG, perhaps a transfer to Real Madrid will happen just as easily for him, especially since he really wanted it.
Real Madrid's problem is on the front line, since the departure of KArim Benzema they have not found a suitable replacement and now Mbappe has come to fill this vacancy, so Mbappe is the player that Real Madrid has wanted the most for the last two seasons.
Regarding Mbappe's adaptation to Real Madrid, of course he didn't have any difficulties and it took a long time to do that. Mbappe is one of the best players in the world and he should know what he has to do.

Regarding Joselu, we all know that Joselu is not Real Madrid's main player, even last season before Mbappe arrived he also did not get a main place, so next season will be the same.
Joselu was prepared by Real Madrid to be a back-up and he was very effective as seen last season

Still, this will make me pessimistic because Vincent Kompany is not the right coach to handle Bayern Munich. He still feels he lacks experience to handle a team as big as Bayern Munich and just being able to compete in the top four will be a good achievement for him next season. It looks like Bayern Munich will have to forget about their target of reclaiming the title from Leverkusen.

Pep Guardiola has indeed become an inspirational figure for several new coaches and in my opinion, what he has taught is sometimes only a few are successful and Vincent Kompany is not included in his circle.
It is too early to say that Vincent Kompany is not the right coach for Bayern, it is true that he lacks experience but that cannot be a benchmark until Vincent Kompany proves it, if only experience is a benchmark then Xabi Alonso last season when he first managed Leverkusen was also not has experience but he is capable of success, I think the same goes for Vincent Kompany.

Not Pep Guardiola, but the philosophy of modern football today and Pep Guardiola is an example and also several coaches who have worked with Pep have proven to have good coaching qualities, the same goes for Kompany.
I think Vincent Kompany should be given full support, regardless of what happened in his past with his previous team, but now with Bayern everything will be different and I still can't give any judgment without proof from Vincent Kompany.

That's football, every prediction is like sugar in coffee, in other words, it's just a sweetener without any certainty that it has the right level of accuracy. Everyone is talking about Leverkusen because the performance they put on was extraordinary, they were almost unbeatable in all competitions this season, but Atalanta appeared like a thorn in the flesh which made Leverkusen suffer very painful pain.

Leverkusen qualified for the Champions League not because of the achievements they made in the Europa League, but as a result of being able to finish in first place in the Bundesliga, they must be prepared to face more difficult competition because there are so many big teams there. The Europa League will be filled with other teams who are ready to show new surprises, but it could be that the team that wins the Europa League is the team that is eliminated from the Champions League.
In football many surprises happen, but predictions are also important, regardless of what happens later, it will be different, but predictions are needed for those who place bets, predictions and feelings are really needed.
Surprises that occur in football have become commonplace, in a full season we see a lot of surprises, such as what happened in the Europa League final when Leverkusen were beaten, so I think that is something that is normal and something that must be remembered also in Europa League in particular, almost every season there are big surprises that happen.

For Leverkusen, who will appear in the Champions League next season, of course they will prepare a team that is much stronger than last season and indeed since Xabi Alonso became Leverkusen coach, this team has continued to develop in a positive direction, so I will not underestimate them for next season. will appear in the Champions League.

Belgium managed to perform well in the match against Romania and these were the first 3 points which were quite important for Belgium to open up their hopes of qualifying from the group, even though from the start Belgium was quite the favorite, but we can see that getting through this group will not be easy, now in Group E all have the same chance to qualify for the group phase and I think Belgium has a large percentage because in the 3rd match they will face Ukraine and in terms of quality Belgium is slightly better.
All the teams in Group E have both collected 3 points, which of course will make the four teams' chances of qualifying for the next round look the same. However, I think there will still be quite a striking change in the future because a team like Belgium, which is strengthened by Kevin De Bruyne and Lukaku, will be the team most favored to get first place in group E. And in the next match for Belgium it won't be that difficult for Belgium even though opponents like Ukraine also have to be taken into account because now the number of points is the same and it can make the competition even fiercer.
I don't think the percentage to qualify from the group will be the same, among the four teams Belgium has a very large percentage to qualify from group E compared to Ukraine because we can realistically see that Belgium's strength is stronger than Ukraine so if there are no surprises big then Belgium can win in the Round 3 match later.
Meanwhile for Romania and Slovakia I think the percentage will be the same, this will be a match that is difficult to predict.

Juventus still have a lot to work on their team because right now they are not on their best performance and it was even with struggling they were able to secure the third position they did on this season making them to qualify for the champions League next season, so perhaps if is a club that needs to improve next season they will never hesitate to recruit more capable players because last season may likely be nothing compared to what they will see next season, so preparing ahead of time will be actually a great beneficial to them so that before the next season they will be ready.

Yeah for now especially with their performance this season I don't think they will be a threat to other team next season because they don't have what it takes now, however is very obvious that they will find it difficult to cope on the champions League because their are so many clubs there that's doing very well more than Juventus so if they failed to invest on more players I'm afraid they may not even be able to qualify from their group stage.
Juventus with its new coach will definitely make changes to its squad, but now Juventus has to start everything from scratch because every coach needs a process to improve a team's performance, but sooner or later we don't know when Thiago Motta will build the Juventus team.
If you look at what Thiago Motta has shown with Bologna last season, Thiago Motta should also be able to do the same thing with Juventus.

The team with its new coach for next season will be different, so what happened last season cannot be any benchmark for what happens next season so I think it is unfair for us to compare or predict what happened because of last season.
Personally, I am quite optimistic about Juventus next season and now we just have to wait for Juventus management to recruit new players and the management should be able to recruit quality players according to coach Thiago Motta's wishes.
97  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season on: June 21, 2024, 08:52:25 AM
Mbappe is a great player and I'm sure Carlo Ancelotti is delighted to have him now. His rotation is quite wide right now. Considering that Arda Güler plays great in the wing position, they have a lot of options and a young average age. We can say that Ancelotti has established the squad for the next 5 years.
Signing prominent young talents will make good ringing next season because Los Blancos squad is most significant among other oppositions. Real Madrid president, Florentino Pérez is one of the top club's president that know exactly how to comprehend the formulation of a club and have delivered good positioning for the club. While on the other hand, Carlo Ancelotti will cook everybody next season, we should get ourselves ready for feast next season because Real Madrid have showed upon themselves to be up and running.
Looking at the players who are in Madrid current attack after Mbappe came then it can be said that Madrid have a very perfect attacking line in destroying every of their opponents next season, so I think it's time for Perez also to prioritize other positions for them to strengthen at the moment, Kross who will leave Madrid next season will of course leave a big hole in their midfield, So indeed without a qualified midfield, of course, the attacking line will also not be able to have a good enough performance in a team, because indeed the team that prioritizes high attacks will centered from their midfield so far.

In addition to the midfield, of course they must also be able to improve the defense at this time, because last season was an experience of how Madrid was too easily exploited by other teams that also have a very good attacking line, to be able to become a perfect team, of course Perez must be able to strengthen Madrid in every existing line, so that of course it will most likely make Madrid an undefead team in the league later,  Perez current ambition, of course, is in accordance with ability and desire from ancelotti to see the glory era of Los Galaticos repeated.
Toni Kroos' departure will not have a big impact because Real Madrid has been preparing for it since several seasons ago, we can see several potential young players in Real Madrid's midfield so I don't think the team doesn't need to bring in other players for the midfield.
Overall the players in the Real Madrid squad are quite capable now especially with the arrival of the best striker in the world (Mbappe) of course the team will be much stronger next season so they don't have an urgent need to bring in other players maybe they will just make several transfers to maintain the stability of the team's performance if player rotation occurs.

However, if we talk about whether or not Real Madrid will be able to defend the CL title next season, I think we don't just have to look at the squad in the team because a team's performance cannot be predicted with certainty and defending the CL title is a very difficult thing.

Spain played better than Italy and they would have destroyed Italy if their players had played more effectively in their shots. This match ends as a win for Spain that help them to get a first position in this group. However, lack of effective goal scoring ability might be big problem and barrier for Spain to go far and win Euro 2024 title.

In football, you don't need to dominate a match or make impression, what you need is scoring goals and win your match against your opponent. If you can do it, you have better chance to win a match and if you repeat it in many matches, you have great chance to become a champion. Spain lack of this ability in this match with Italy and if we look back, it's their issue recent years. If they can not improve their attacking power to score goals more productively, they will not win Euro 2024.

With Italy, I see Calafiori needs to be replaced because he made mistake in late minutes of the first match with Albania and if Donnarumma did not make a great save, Italy did not win that match. Now in the second match, he made an own goal. Italy has Gianluca Mancini who can replace Calafiori in centre of their defense system.
It would be too far to say that the reason or obstacle to winning the Euro 2024 title for Spain is because of the Spanish team's lack of scoring ability, I don't think so because in this match against Italy it was not easy for Spain because both teams have good strength and the Italian team has a good defense. sturdy so it is not easy for Spanish players to score goals.
And also regarding scoring goals is the result of good play implemented by the team, if a team plays badly it is impossible for them to be able to create opportunities for goals, so a goal is not always a benchmark and not because in one match a team finds it difficult to score goals. Let's immediately judge the team, maybe you should look at the goal productivity of the Spanish team in round 1 so you don't say that.

Whatever it is, but now the most important thing is that Spain has managed to escape from the very difficult group phase at Euro 2024 because of a 1 goal win against Italy in Round 2 and I think this narrow victory is very deserved by Spain because they played a little well.

Bayern Munich will remain a strong challenger to Leverkusen next season even though they do not have an experienced coach because in terms of experience Bayern Munich is a strong team with complete players in all positions. Leverkusen has the opportunity to retain the Bundesliga title as long as Xabi Alonso can maintain the quality of his players and not let the opportunity to play in the Champions League be an excuse for not playing consistently in the Bundesliga.

It's not easy to defend the title with the minimum number of players and last season's moments are difficult to repeat. Bayern Munich and Dortmund have new coaches so they have to be able to adapt beforehand so this is the best step for Leverkusen to maintain their title and play more solidly.
It will not be easy for Leverkusen to defend the title even though Bayern Munich with its new coach next season will not necessarily perform well.
Bayern Munich is the team that dominated the Bundesliga before last season that dominance was broken by Leverkusen so of course there is greater energy from Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga title again and apart from their new inexperienced coach I think their squad is very capable will help Kompany (Bayern Munich's new coach) adapt quickly and develop the team's performance.

And also several other Bundesliga teams are also starting to develop, so that will make the competition much fiercer.
I predict that next season the Bundesliga title competition will be contested by more than 2 teams, and that will make the Bundesliga much more competitive.

Still faulting and blaming the coach till this moment? Y'all should do well, you must have read and heard, Erik Ten Hag is not the central issue of Manchester United, I cannot explain to you if you cannot see that. The management of Manchester United are doing well to get players at most tackling from the backline. The coach can only do well when he has good structured footballing environment and also players.

This is not a time to blast the coach, he has shown himself how much of a good coach he is and can be because he is always improving with his decisions and tactics.
It's a thing of joy to see that Manchester United owners backed him because I can't even tolerate the information of Gareth Southgate becoming the next Manchester United coach.

Erik Ten Hag's fate will not be at stake, what are you even saying? I know you did wanted him to be stacked, but he has been retained. Lol.
Y'all should try to not let your hate for a coach or player stop you from making proper analysis.
What happened last season should be understandable because there were many problems faced by the Manchester United team, which meant that Ten Hag did not have many options to develop the team.

I think Manchester United management has taken consistent steps to continue to have confidence in Ten Hag and regarding the many criticisms I also think it is normal because fans have been waiting for a very long time for their favorite team to rise again, but for those who understand that it is not the case. It's easy to continue supporting Ten Hag, which is the right step to achieving success again.

Manchester United has been in decline since the departure of Alex Ferguson, and that has been a long time and until now there has been no coach who has been able to return Manchester United to the point or peak of its performance like before so that is a job for management to complete and I think the steps that must be taken What is being done is proceeding as is currently being done.

Ten Hag is not entirely to blame and his success in presenting the FA trophy last season should be able to cover it up and create new confidence for him to be entrusted again to build Manchester United next season.
