Wrong in a big way.
If its affecting your mental health enough, take a break, walk away. The club will always be there if and when you go back.
Fortunately, I haven't suffered so far but there has been times when I have missed a match or two just because I didn't feel there would be any benefit to come of it.

Has Brendan Rodgers been found out, or is he someone whose methods just work for a couple of years? He's done a decent job everywhere he's been for a while. No one would say Conte gets found out and he seems to have a similar performance arc, albeit at a higher level.
That being said I don't want us to go within a country mile of Rodgers. The guy is very odd.

So same as us then.
Law of the jungle mate. Itās nothing to get worked up about.
Same things happens when we go sniffing round the tier 2 managers.

I don't think it was ever really a matter of time to convince Naglesmann tbh. We're too much of a mess right now and I don't think he was ever going to commit to us until the summer at the earliest once he knew the situation at Chelsea, Madrid, etc. Potter was always likely to get the sack at some point so Nagelsmann was probably going to end up there regardless.
In a weird way Chelsea moving fast for Nagelsmann might do us a favour. Given he was probably not coming to us anyway, at least this means we won't waste any time on him and can move on to other targets. One of our biggest problems in the 2021 managerial search was the time was wasted chasing long-shots like Flick, Nagelsmann and Poch when none of them were ever likely to come here.

de Boer had only ever worked within the Ajax system, unlike Ten Hag for example, whereas Slot has done impressive work at AZ and now Feyenoord.
Not saying heād be my choice (RDZ), but harsh to compare him to FdB
100%, but youll see posts saying otherwise which is more where im aiming that at!
Bit tough on BMJ, he was at the start of our upward trajectory.
Also, Utd seem happy with ETH & even Van Gaal left with a trophy or two.
Iām not an FFP expert and canāt really see how Chelsea have been able to spend what they have, seemingly without any FFP concerns. But, surely they canāt go spending that much more without being at risk of an FFP breach?
So it could be that any new manager has to work with what heās got (subject to sales generating income for more buys), whereas youād imagine Levy can at least offer a new manager some comfort regarding available funds as a result of a bumper season of match attendances and non-football events.
(Ready for my optimistic ratings)

I should imagine we could sign him up now for the summer with Feyenoordās agreement?

Be unusual to tie up a manager still in contract until 2025 and still competing on three fronts.

Honestly bring me Slot, just spent some time looking into him and what he has done this season its crazy. He lost half his squad to the prem and got better. His players are limited and makes it work. If he does come in or any other project manager, Levy better commit to the rebuild and sell on the deadwood

Can a manager under contract even sign a pre-contract?

Given our record for selling unwanted players, I wouldn't get your hopes up.

De Boer only ever coached at Ajax.
He was an Ajax prodigy.
That meant his footballing philosophy only ever existed in the Ajax bubble and worked in a Ajax or Dutch NT environment.
He went to Inter and sank, then Palace because he couldn't bring the Ajax model to them clubs.
Slot has had 2 clubs and has not come from a specific environment. He plays football 'his way'.
Ten Hag coached with Pep at Bayern and at Groningen before he went to Ajax.
He brought his own ideas to Ajax and made them better than De Boer by every metric.
Thats why he is doing well at United.
If Slot gets past Mourinho and wins the title, he'll be proving he is his own man and capable of working outside the Dutch league.
He did recently hammer Shakhtar 7-1, who are hardly minnows
