The Keyboard Warriors Call For A Sack But Old Trafford Faithful Remain Silent

 

Erik Ten Hag

A call for a Ten Hag sack would not come as a suprise to anyone, at the end of his first season, the United manager had won a trophy ( United's first in six years) and his team had returned to the Champions League however since from then it has been a storm at M16 and countless voices have called for the managers sack, despite winning another trophy last season an eight place from the biggest football club of English football was unacceptable and many think Ten Hag should pay for it. New owners Ineos choose to stick with Ten Hag last season despite looking at other options and they still reiterated their support for the United manager in the midst of a poor start to the season. 

If you are one who only follows the happenings of social media then you would probably be very suprised that the Dutchman is still in office, the keyboard warriors and analyst have all made it clear that they want Ten Hag sacked, I'm also one of them however unlike them I still fully support the manager, I have seen writers like me praise the manager all through that very eventfull first season however most of them have so quicly turned on the manager, one cannot blame them though as reporters we are suppose to write what we see however as a Man United supporter you should be obligated to use your voice as a source of inspiration to fans all over the world during this tough times.

The keyboard warriors might have turned on the manager but the one group that will always support the manager are the Old Trafford faithful, throughout his tenure as United manager there has never been calls for "Ten Hag Out" from the Old Trafford faithful and so it was for all the managers who have come and gone post Fergie. The tradition had ended 35 years ago when a banner at Old Trafford read "3 years of Excuses and it's still crap... TA RA FERGIE" thankfully United did not listen to the fans if not I wonder how different our history would have been. During his last speech as United manager on that noon of 2014, Fergie gave the Old Trafford faithfull one message which was "to support the manager", ten years on they have seen their beloved club turn into something unrecognisable but still follow Fergie's instructions without relenting. Hopefully Old Trafford will turn red one day in an emotional goodbye for Ten Hag from the Old Trafford faithful just like Fergie, off course not the one of 1989 but the one of 2014.
