Yes because no manager has ever reached an agreement to manage a new club while still at his old one. Everyone surely works under the honor system!

This would make sense if our attack was "cohesive" without him, but it's not.

It's always overlooked and it drives me mad.

Yep. Bruno won the Busby award because his monstrous form to end the season, but he was largely horrid before Christmas. Dalot was very consistently good pretty much all year even while having to deal with endless chopping and changing around him (and even having to play on the left)

Name and shame. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard

Yeah it's the same reason we have player pull at United even after being a dumpster fire for the past decade. Players see the history and size of the club and think "I can be a legend there" without realizing that they'll have to receive passes from Scott McTominay and Wan Bissaka :lol...

But again, we have done that pretty well even in the post SAF era apart from the disaster years when managers have gotten sacked, yet we haven't even gotten close to titles which is my entire point. Sure we've gotten some 2nd's when other squads have been decimated but we still were never...

Goodness some of these are so off the mark :lol: One I'll note is Iniesta vs. Real at the Bernabeau in 2015. Got an ovation that night and really was unplayable that entire year behind MSN.

I really don't think "getting top 4 regularly" is difficult though provided you aren't completely incompetent, especially with our buying power as a club. So that should be a given pretty soon with any manager coming in. Then the question becomes who can potentially elevate a squad past just...

Nah, Mahrez also played in a Leicester side where he was the main outlet along with Vardy and was world class there too. It's a terrible comparison besides the fact that both are left footed RW that hold the ball well. And I don't even buy that he'd be good at a machine like City. He'd...

You'd think we'd never won a fecking league cup before my goodness.

Yeah McKenna's stock will literally never be higher than it is right now at Ipswich. Even if he stayed and managed to keep them up, it's going to be playing a much different brand of football than what elite clubs would obviously want to see. At bare minimum he needs to take the Brighton job...

I've really never been impressed with Poch. He's still riding off that spurs team from 7 years ago and it reeks of the same situation as people rating Mourinho years past when he was actually a good manager. There's just no high ceiling with Poch, hire him and you basically are saying "it's...

Agree with this. Taking the job at United is about as little pressure as there will ever be around it at the current moment. I mean many fans are still fine keeping the manager that guided us to 8th with almost relegation level performances throughout the year, so expectations for anyone in that...

There's 0 chance that all of Casemiro/Antony/Eriksen/Wan Bissaka/Maguire/Lindelof/Evans are still in the squad next season. If that's the case we are truly fecked
