it's a good move. let ETH die by the sword of his bad purchases.
it's win/win.
ETH wins nada. INEOS burn him and he takes the blame. fans onside. new team built for new manager.
ETH wins trophies. INEOS made the right decision. new team built for new manager.
as long as INEOS rebuild the team they cannot lose no matter how ETH performs.
why let a new manager sully their rep while they improve the team.
next 1 -2 seasons they can observe the rising managers.

he has to sign new terms (as his role has changed) and why would he do so without an extension?
on the other hand they can justify offering him a very short extension of 1 - 2 years.

Meh. Ineos are going to let Ten Hag sack himself by Christmas.

Why do I have a sinking feeling that they’re keeping Ten Hag for now because Southgate is currently focusing on England. Ten Hag goes on a bad run and appoint Southgate later?

I don't see how it's a win/win because ETH and co. could fukk up the next 1-2 seasons and all the while the rest of the superpowers are getting stronger.

INEOS will be building the team NOT ETH.
ETH is a good sacrificial lamb. if he fails they can blame him. if he succeeds INEOS take the plaudits.
why waste a new manager's rep sorting out the mess? a mess that ETH and OLE contributed massively to.
the new owners can sort out the squad mess (in the background) and give their eventual chosen new manager a clean(-er) slate.
also some young promising managers need a year or two to prove themselves in the EPL - frank, mckenna.
i wonder why
