Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

On the other hand, if Ten Hag stays then Jadon Sancho will most likely not return, he still refuses to apologize to Ten Hag. Overall, whoever becomes Man United manager next season, adding depth to the squad is a must. Man United management must streamline the squad, release most of the players who have minimal contribution, and recruit potential young players. Of course they have to act carefully when entering the transfer window, so as not to buy random players and make it look like a failed investment.

I would say that Manchester United management needs to be more aware when it comes to recruiting players. In the last few seasons we have seen Manchester United spend a lot of money and add players to the squad, but we don't see the expected performance from the players.

Antony was added to the squad by Manchester United management at a cost of 96 million. But Antony has just one goal and one assist in 29 games this season. Manchester United management had to spend 75 million to add Hojlund to the squad. Hojlund has 10 goals and 2 assists in 30 games. Despite spending a lot of money, Manchester United management could not find the right players for their squad. If United management gives Ten Hag big funding next season, I think tenHag will waste money again.

[Inwestour]

The owners of Chelsea are not having any patience, they want results because they have spend too much money on the club but they are not seeing their money being used very well to better Chelsea as a football club. Pochettino would not have taken Chelsea to the level the owners of Chelsea want to see Chelsea playing at. There is no time to give the coach that chance to build up the team slowly, they want a fast response and for Chelsea to be playing with the top clubs. The sacking of pochettino is not going to be a regret by the board because he is not the right man for the job in spite of how well Chelsea were playing at the end of the season but by then it was already late because he did not start strong when the fans and everybody were expecting him to use his experience to make the players play good football.

Perhaps the point is not that Pochettino did a bad job, but that Chelsea believe that Maresca can do a better job. And they didn't want to miss the opportunity to bring him in as head coach because someone else might do it. I also think that Pochetino did well, by the end of the season Chelsea really looked better, but apparently this was not enough for him to retain his position as coach, although Boehly said that they were aimed at long-term cooperation, but apparently it wasn’t about Pochettino.

[rendravolt]

De Zerbi has not yet left Brighton, but he will definitely leave soon considering that Brighton this season has been truly chaotic under his guidance. He had an extraordinary season last season, but this season it won't happen again. Now there are rumors that Graham Potter will return to Brighton and will replace De Zerbi's job as coach.

We know that Graham Potter was a good coach when he was at Brighton and everything fell apart when he joined Chelsea. This apparently meant that Graham Potter had to complete the unfinished work at Brighton at that time so that the club management would try to reappoint Graham Potter as head coach if they later decided to fire De Zerbi.

So do you think it's better for De Zerbi to stay or for Graham Potter to return to Brighton?

Source: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5534660/2024/06/02/brighton-potter-bloom-return/

De Zerbi and Brighton have agreed to end their partnership this summer which mean De Zerbi will not being an Brighton manager anymore and recently De Zerbi has been give the main reason why he decide to leave this team because he and Brighton has different visions in terms of player transfers and about the replacement of De Zerbi actually Brighton was targetting Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna as the replacement of De Zerbi because they were impress with what Kieran McKenna done at Ipswich but they must be disappointed because Kieran McKenna has decided to extend the contract with Ipswich

This also ends the speculation about Kieran McKenna who was recently targeted by Manchester United and Chelsea however about Graham Potter since sacked by Chelsea last season Potter has no job now and indeed Brighton is thinking possibility to make Potter as their new manager because they know Potter is a good manager even before moved to Chelsea we all know Brighton under Potter is quite stable and this team can able to finish at 9th place on season 2021/2022 but until this rumour appears Potter hasn't respond this rumour yet

I had indeed heard the name Kieran McKenna and had been linked with several teams, but I was quite surprised that Brighton were also interested in bringing him in. It seems that Kieran McKenna really has his own charisma as a coach and he prefers to continue his journey with Ipswich.

On the other hand, Brighton seems to have no other choice but to negotiate with Graham Potter and perhaps with the difference in management's vision, only Graham Potter is suitable to handle it. I think there's no harm in Brighton recruiting him back and maybe Graham Potter's luck is just managing Brighton rather than managing a big team in the EPL.

The point you raise is perfectly valid and the performance given by Aston Villa is simply amazing but the talk is not about the whole team or management it's only about Ten Hag i just said that Ten Hag will surely give his best and you can see the amazing Man U comeback.

When the season is over and the new season is coming up there is always such speculation about some managers and teams. So amazing things are already being talked about before they happen which have never happened as is being talked about now. Ten Hag needs a new and more modern way of coaching a team and in placing players in each game he plays. Because without a good strategy and tactics for a team like Manchester United, I think changes in any way will never go according to plan.

So do you think he can be given a chance to stay? Looking at the condition of the game and the final results this season I actually don't like him, because he can't bring Man United to appear in stable form.  Even they are not able to stay in the Europa League Zone.
I haven't heard officially if he will leave or stay, if he leaves of course the players need a new adaptation. But if Ten Hag stays then he must dare to try new things, his old strategy cannot optimize the Man United players this season. So I agree with your writing.

What I think @fadhilz about Manchester united is that the problem in their average show of performance this previous season isn't entirely the making of Ten Hag it has so much to do with the club owners and a few players that are still in the team. The club owners ain't giving the coach the maximum support to make his choices of players and we saw that during the beginning of this just concluded season, how you then expect his tactics to go hand in hand with players not fully handpicked by the team coach.

 Before a coach makes a move for a player he believes the player plays his kindbof pattern so it makes it easier for both. Looking at the other side, if you can recall there were players Ten hag didn't used in that  FA cup finals against City and you saw how Manchester united played, it was shockingly for most of us, and this was because some of the players that have supposed to leave the club weren't fixture in that match. I don't mention names but we know those players that ain't needed any more on order for the club to make good success next season.

[Altryist]

It seems to me that if they wanted to fire him, they would have already done it, but on the other hand, some intrigues and accusations around ten Hag do not subside, now it is being discussed that during the time he was coaching Manchester United, they spent a lot of money on transfers, more than 400 million, which is actually a lot, but I think that this is not only the coach’s decision, he can discuss the club’s needs for players, but transfers will be confirmed by the financial director and the owners of the club, so there is no need to blame ten Hag for all the sins of Manchester United.

[Oluwa-btc]

Manchester United still evaluate Ten Hag works during this season and they will decide to hold or maybe they will sack Ten Hag later and a decision will be made and announced next week whether Ten Hag will be stayed or out but some of Manchester United players and the fans are still support Ten Hag because they feel although the performance of Manchester United is very poor this season but they still can able to gets the trophy and they feel Manchester United will be performing better next season under Ten Hag so it is not necessary to sack him

About Sancho he was performing well again at Dortmund he even can able to bringing this team to advances to the final match of Champion League but regarding his future seems Dortmund was refuse to permanent him because Sancho has high price and after this season ended he will return to Manchester United and now Sancho will thinking possibility to stayed at Manchester United if Ten Hag sacked so the situation between these person is simple that if Ten Hag stayed then Sancho probably will be sell because he will not included to Ten Hag plan for next season but if Ten Hag sacked then Sancho will not leave Manchester United and will playing at this team for next season

There are managers who could not attain the great heights attainted by Erik Ten Hag. Ole Gunner Solskjaer took Manchester United to the European Europa League Competition Finals and failed to win it, where is he now? Doing interviews and stuff. Mike Phelan who was also assistant to Ole Gunner Solskjaer would also open his mouth to say shit about a coach tactically better and brilliant than them. I just don't know why they hate success and good things.

Sacking Erik Ten Hag solves nothing, because when you do that, who comes next to replace him as head coach? Lolz. Manchester United will not see success for thr next few years if they sack him.
Jim Radcliffe is one sentimental british man, and he will lead Manchester United to damnation if they don't make proper analysis and decisions.

Yeah, he had a great debut season don't forget, second season went rouge what happens in the future when he is being backed? He will definitely see success because this he never had in his first season and second season.

Good y'all watched Jadon Sancho in that finals, can someone rate him? He was silent all throughout that game and didn't even show up like Fullkrug and Adeyemi. I don't even know what people see with Sancho, all they wan is to used this agenda to sack Erik Ten Hag.

So if that was to be Sir Alex Ferguson, Sancho would not say sorry to the manager? The player disrespected the manager, all the coach wanted was apologies and he he said this and that, people talk about standards and not being soft with players now this is one and nobody sees it that way now.

Manchester United management has got to be dump if they sack Erik Ten Hag because of a player who hasn't played halfway of the price he was brought and signed into Manchester United.

[Unsoldier]

Yes, it is difficult to understand with Boehly's plan, he should learn from his inappropriate decisions like last season. The current management should not adopt the old system like the Roman era which was known as a dictatorship, but there are good sides which must be the main consideration for building a better club. Now coaching has moved to Maresca and he has also been given the best coaching staff. Hopefully Maresca will get full support from the club board and he can work freely without interference.

I really don't understand everything that happened at Chelsea after Todd Boehly took over there. In fact, I was very surprised last season when Tuchel was fired. even though we all know Tuchel has brought glory to Chelsea. And the coaching changes have continued since last season and it all only makes the situation worse. And this season Pochettino improved it little by little and at the end of the season everything changed for the better thanks to Pochettino. But then Pochettino left. And yeah, I don't understand any of that. Honestly, at first I thought that Boehly had learned a lot from the bad results that Chelsea got last season. Because I see Pochettino making good results this season. But well now my assumptions seem to have changed again. And yes, it can be said that I am still quite disappointed with Pochettino's departure.

It's very hard to understand what todd boehly wanted from the coach. He was always replacing the coach anytime. This is even more frequently compared to the what abramovich did when he was still chelsea's owner. Im not even doubting it considering the fact that boehly is always changing the plan for the club.



The way the Chelsea ownership group tried to persuade themselves that Maresca was the best option for the team truly surprised me because it's clear they never learnt from their mistakes. They are repeating something old that happened last season when chelsea signed potter.
I was also witnessing chelsea ownership group said the same thing when Chelsea hired Potter from Brighton as a new caretaker, after which the club suffered.

Their mistakes never teach them anything. I'm not sure if Chelsea will be able to compete in the next season. Maresca may be doing some adjustments as a preparation to face a new season. i'm still feeling dubious.
Let's hope maresca to give his best for the club. The players need to adapt with the new gameplay.

Chelsea's owners have found an inexperienced coach and are giving him a five-year contract with an option to extend for another year. The new Chelsea managers didn't give Tuchel, Potter and Pochettino more than a year in charge. And with Maresca, they signed him on a five-year contract! This is an extremely strange decision. I'll be surprised if Chelsea finish in the top 5 next season.

Then, ten hag needs to raise some money in order to strengthen his squad. I meant the quality matters a lot here. Im not even doubting it considering the fact that if manchester united has not performing well last season in EPL. The club luckily won FA cup which was helped the club to ruled three teams at once.

The same thing may not be happening again. It's time for ten hag to do something in order to rebuild the squad. The most important thing to sell some unimportant players. This will be totally help united so much in order to raise some money to buy the new players.

United needs to focus on the defenders and midfielders. The defenders were performing so poorly as united conceded so many goals last season. It's even worst in united's history.

Even though Manchester United failed to compete in the top four, I think this result is still a process. So, if Erik ten Hag is still given the opportunity nextseason,then ofcourse I still confident that Erik ten Hag will be able to make Manchester United compete in the top four. But indeed, if next season Erik ten Hag fails to make Manchester United compete in the topfour then ofcourse,it would be the right time for Manchester United to look for a new coach. But for now, I don't think it's a problem ifManchester United still gives Erik ten Hag the opportunity for a third season with Manchester United next season.

I think Manchester United will choose to not sack Ten Hag because he already bring FA Cup trophy without any expectation. Next season there are many teams changing their coach and their players, so they should have higher chance to finish in the top four considering Liverpool, Chelsea and Aston Villa will not be as strong as this season.

They also qualified for Europa League too, if Ten Hag can win this competition even though they didn't earn anything in domestic league, The Glazers might will think twice to continue with Ten Hag again.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

In some cases, the coach is the person most responsible for the players who are brought in he has the exclusive right to choose a player and if that player fails to make a contribution then who is to blame? of course the coach. Previously I thought this was what happened to the Liverpool coach when he spent a lot of budget to bring in players and his contribution was low then he chose to resign, this is an example of how coaches have a major role in bringing in players. Chelsea also experienced the same thing so several coaches were fired in the last 2-3 seasons, I think not all coaches are able to handle great players at once or maybe they need a longer adaptation.

Even though he won the FA Cup, many fans hope that if ten hag is immediately fired from his position, ten hag is not able to provide what fans expect today after Manchester United spent a lot of money to support ten hag in restoring Manchester United glory so far, but in fact, after bringing in many star players and also expensive, Manchester United is getting worse than when ten hag first came,  The FA trophy is the second biggest trophy in the English league but I think Manchester United will not lower their target from the premier league trophy to the FA if Mourinho or Ferguson are still coaching Manchester United at this time, to be honest, as long as watching Manchester United win the trophy it seems that now it is indeed a pride for ten hag to celebrate the championship trophy as if winning the FA trophy like the EPL trophy.

The squad owned by Manchester United today is of course very capable and can even be said to be full of star players, but unfortunately ten hag failed to make them able to show their best performance like in their previous club, I think the Manchester United squad is more than enough to compete for the championship trophy but indeed the scheme and also the strategy applied by ten hag seems to have been confused and ineffective to defeat their opponents.

[klidex]

I think Ten Hag lasted longer at Manchester United. I would also like Pochettino to be the person to manage a team full of success like Manchester United, because Ten Hag does not know the opportunities he has. He can't use it correctly. I think they should be dismissed from that team and move on with a better candidate. I don't understand why Manchester United management is giving him a chance because he can't manage as well as Arteta. Arteta is doing everything for Arsenal and it is understandable that he did not provide continuity, but I think Ten Hag is managing terribly.

Maybe Manchester United's management still trusts Erik Ten Hag to coach Manchester United for one more season and he is doing this because many people think that frequently changing coaches will make the club continue to be left behind and so far Manchester United has always changed coaches, perhaps he wants to keep Erik Ten Hag to give him time to manage the club better next season, maybe with that opportunity Ten Hag can take advantage of that opportunity and build the club's trust in him again, as I said before, if Ten Hag can give him 1 FA Cup trophy, it's possible he will be in give it another chance.

By winning this trophy, it at least shows that Manchester United is still strong enough in the Premier League, the proof is that he was able to beat the Premier League champions this season by winning the FA Cup title. Maybe if Manchester United lost the match, the management would not retain Erik Ten Hag to coach Manchester United. again and it was possible to immediately fire him, but because of this achievement, management changed their thinking and did not fire Erik Ten Hag and was still given time to build the club.

I'll be surprised if Chelsea finish in the top 5 next season.

The crucial reason in this seems to be if Maresca has ever worked together with Pep that has become the key point from the reason why chelsea recruited him as a new coach. Chelsea was presumably handing him a long-term contract mostly for this reason. If Todd Boehly wasn't coming with a rather unusual decision for the club, I wouldn't have called him as such.

Certainly, the Blues supporters were becoming irritated with him after so many strange decision came from todd boehly. The team that finished 12th the previous season has been skillfully assembled by Pochettino to finish 6th this time which is also a very big improvment for the club. Chemistry, team work, finishing, pochettino has improved it all.

[Palakka]

Maybe Manchester United's management still trusts Erik Ten Hag to coach Manchester United for one more season and he is doing this because many people think that frequently changing coaches will make the club continue to be left behind and so far Manchester United has always changed coaches, perhaps he wants to keep Erik Ten Hag to give him time to manage the club better next season, maybe with that opportunity Ten Hag can take advantage of that opportunity and build the club's trust in him again, as I said before, if Ten Hag can give him 1 FA Cup trophy, it's possible he will be in give it another chance.

In this case, of course, the management has a very big dilemma between firing or retaining ten hag as a coach, many considerations that may be the basis for retaining or replacing ten hag next season, as you said, of course a lot of experience has happened if the club is getting worse due to the change of coach that has happened too often so far,  But we also can't deny that there are clubs that are actually starting to improve again after they change coaches, in this case I am personally more inclined to see the possibility of Manchester United rising if indeed they dare to take the decision to replace Ten Hag with another more experienced coach.

The FA trophy and carabao are ten hag biggest achievement during his time coaching Manchester United and I think with the star squad they have at the moment of course it's not a pretty proud achievement, so far we know that Manchester United is a team full of achievements and the club that won the most Premier League trophies at the moment, so it's quite surprising for us if they start to be proud and target the small trophy trophy as an achievement that is quite end-of-season success.

[mamesso]

~Snip~

So do you think he can be given a chance to stay? Looking at the condition of the game and the final results this season I actually don't like him, because he can't bring Man United to appear in stable form.  Even they are not able to stay in the Europa League Zone.
I haven't heard officially if he will leave or stay, if he leaves of course the players need a new adaptation. But if Ten Hag stays then he must dare to try new things, his old strategy cannot optimize the Man United players this season. So I agree with your writing.

Ten Hag made a surprise at the start of his tenure as Manchester United coach, he managed to improve Manchester United's performance which was in the relegation zone and then managed to finish in the position expected by the club management. Kini Ten Hag mulai kehilangan magisnya, dia mulai sulit menemukan strategi yang cocok untuk mengembangkan kualitas pemain yang dimiliki Manchester United. Rashford has also performed less than optimally this season, even though previously he played very well and his level of sharpness was quite good. Casemiro also began to experience a decline in performance, he was a player who had an important role in the Real Madrid squad, but after being under Ten Hag's management he was unable to maintain his quality.

Manchester United must immediately look for a new coach, they must make changes to end the series of disappointing results achieved this season.

[KTChampions]

I think Ten Hag is being left for the only reason: it turned out to be impossible to find a replacement because there are either weak coaches on the market (like Ten Hag) or those who do not want to work at United. The Cup has nothing to do with this since it is a tertiary title, and in the main competitions United have historical failures: 8th place in the Premier League (with a negative goal difference) and last place in the Champions League group stage. It's sad, but I don't think we can expect anything good from United next season.

In as much as Erik Ten Hang didn't have a nice season, it doesn't make coaches like Xavi Hernandez and Thomas Tuchel better than him. If I am among Manchester United management, I cannot any of the above coaches above Erik Ten Hang.

Certainly, it seems Manchester United is not interested in dismissing their current coach. They might have concluded to give him one more season and make available players for him to try again this season. I personally believe that Erik would have done better if there were available players for him throughout the season. For the majority of the season he played without good defense, to the extent that Casemiro was occasionally made to play defense.

It is unknown about Xavi, since he still needs to prove himself somewhere else so that conclusions can be drawn, but Tuchel is definitely better than Ten Hag, he had both successes and failures, but he worked in several top clubs. As for Ten Hag and the players he needed, doesn’t it bother you that with those players he didn’t like he took third place, and with those he bought (having spent 400 million) he took eighth place? I see a pattern here and this cannot be explained by injuries, since other clubs also suffered from injuries but were able to cope with it.

Xavi still needs time to prove his skills as a head coach but in Barcelona, he shown his management well enough. He is not yet a great coach but he won La Liga with them and helped them to go a little bit far in Champions League. He deserves to be respected by Barcelona but they sacked Xavi in surprise because they failed to resolve their internal conflict.

Ten Hag got better support from his club than Xavi but in general assessment, Ten Hag did his job worse than Xavi. Financial statuses of two clubs are different and with better status, Manchester United look to be more calm than Barcelona and they are more ready to give their coach more time to prove ability than Barcelona. I agree that Ten Hag must be frankly responsible with bad performances this season than blaming on many things like player injuries, lack of good players.
