I'm trying to understand why everyone's having a meltdown over a 0-3 loss to City of all teams. I understand it's a big derby, but it's not like they lost 0-6 to Sheffield Utd. Any outcome besides an away win for City would honestly be a surprise considering how they've been playing.

If ETH was safe before, he's safe now. People who want him gone have a very myopic view of football, or haven't been paying attention to Man Utd the past decade. Fire ETH and then bring who? Conte? Potter? Zidane (who has already said he's not interested)? Fucking Carrick from Middlesbrough?

Whomever they bring after ETH I guarantee you they'll have a run of success, then next season week in week out will underperform, eventually they'll be sacked too, then bring another guy that's available and the cycle continues.

Man Utd is probably the only Big team in the world where any of its successes since 2006 has been in spite of its corporate structure rather than thanks to it. Of course, a lot of the blame falls of Ten Hag, he calls the shots after all, BUT the overall situation of the team atm falls 100% on the Owners who have left the club unsupported for years, and gave the reigns to clueless people that have no idea how the business works.
