Isn't it? When Mourinho came in, we'd been crap under LVG. He made us better and had a good second season. When Ole came in, we were crap and he made us better. He should be judged based on whether he gets the best out of the team. Mourinho did until he imploded. Ole mostly did last year. I'm not convinced he can again this year.
A serious look at Mauricio Pochettino

I actually think Mourinho is doing a very good job so far....but goddamit I miss this man. He connected with the fanbase in a way not many managers do and in a way I don't think Mourinho ever will.
Though if he wins a trophy or two, perhaps I'll be eating my words.
I hope he achieves lots of success in his next job.

United fans has suffered long enough. We need to get back to being United, and Pochettino can get us there. It has not just been this match, we have been shite for awhile with streaky run just saving us from embarrassment. last season we had the same point tally as Moyes, yet some fans see that as successful.
Should be here by our next game. Might not win anything but at least he can coach a fecking team.
I think he’s a fantastic manager and a perfect United manager. I do not want him to take over this club now. We would ruin him like we’ve done with the past 4 managers by consistently fecking it when it comes to purchases, sales and renewals.
Get on the phone Ed.
Yeah time to move for him.
Look at leeds, Everton, arsenal.
All brought in coaches that know what they're doing and they're bouncing.
tactically Ole hasn't got a clue.

This is always my issue, I'm not calling for Oles head now but the fact we play a poor standard of football was always going to catch up. I cannot think of one game under Solskjaer where the standard of football was enough to say that tactically and positionally we look viable
What's the point with this board though?
If Pick got top 4 they just won't invest properly until he drops out.
If we had gone and got the LB, CB and RW we needed this window the club would be in a different place!
Insulting another member
Someone ban this moron already.
What part of that post is wrong?
He's actually right...
We need a new manager, but like all the other times we needed a new manager, it doesn’t really make a difference. United are a business now, and like any business, when the culture from the top is uninspiring, unmotivated, pathetic leadership, that will prevail. If I was a top manager I wouldn’t come a million miles near United until new ownership.
Get his coaching in, Ole is more of a technical director by the way he gets in the right players and knows the culture of the club but he is NOT a good coach.
Yeah exactly what we need.
A manager that made Spurs soft, to the point where Mourinho has told them to be cnuts over and over again and are now looking like a decent side. You want to bring him in to make us look shit and soft? Brilliant combination.
A new manager won't make a difference. All our defenders are brutal
From a mate.
Dressing room is awful according to Rashford’s agent/brother. I sat opposite him on a train a few months ago and he was having a very indiscreet conversation with another agent. At that time at least, Rashford wanted out and hated Ole - blames him for his back injury. The guy said no one would join because it’s known that it’s a horrible place to work. That seems to have been borne out this transfer window

Let alone a manager that made Spurs soft.
Again that nonsense. You really think that Maguire, AWB and James are money well spent? Lets just stop trying to keep Ole in club. He got a chance, failed and that is it. Lets hire true DoF and Poch
Yes please. Beggars can't be choosers.
It's incredible how many people think a new manager will make our back four look like Neville, Evra, Ferdinand and Vidic. I'd love to have that level of optimism. I really would.
Dont bother boys.
All you get in here is
He's never won anything!

Sounds like a load of nonsense. Player's willingness to join Utd hasn't been the issue in the transfer window. Everyone we've been after has wanted to join, if only the board pulled their fingers out and actually signed them.
If pochettino can achieve what he did at Spurs, we will be in a much more better position than any other United managers we have appointed post Sir Alex. Seeing United in the champions league final again and playing great football, will be a blessing. However, Pochettino will be backed much more than he was at Spur, so he will definitely be more successful as the world class talent he will have here at United, will take him over the line to win trophies. Plus poch side aren’t soft or shite
That's because there hasn't been one. I love Ole as a player but as a manager he just isn't it. Id be OK about our situation if I could see what direction we were going but I just can't because there isn't one.
Its like he just says to the players to go out and do whatever they want. There's just no gameplan.
I think this is nailed on now sooner rather than later.
The Spurs side that kicked Chelsea off the park in THAT game were one of the most brutal I've ever seen. Soft is not what Poch teams are. Especially with the way he played in his own professional career.
Last thing we need is a manager with another cult surrounding him.
Our next manager should be forced to do the job in a balaclava & put an NDA in everyone at the clubs contract. We can't let our creepy/weirdo fanbase fetishize another manager.

Of course it's you. Can you like piss off?
You're right actually, his first year signings are starting to look rubbish. AWB is rubbish going forward and been suspect defending now, Maguire from Leicester was top, who has turned rubbish.
See i dont think we would, we have no gameplay ever. I think a better coach would get more out of these players.
Looking at our next 5 games I agree
What fecking evidence are you basing this on? You're living in a Pochettino fantasy.

No he won't
Have you seen Ed in the transfer market?
I'm not sure he's the right man for us but he's definitely miles better than Ole. So I'd happily take him. But that's the issue, we hire managers out of depression with or current state rather than a long term vision of developing the team. And from that POV you'd have to see whether Pochettino is the right fit. Ole, definitely isn't.
If Pochettino has the same amount of money spent from lvg, Mourinho and ole, he will be backed. I don’t see why the board will back these managers and not Pochettino with similiar amount of money. Plus if Pochettino wants to raise money, there is a lot of players in our team that can be sold for a hefty price.
Just appoint him already
I have given up on being optimistic about coaching changes at United. I don't see us being contenders for years, decades. So why does it matter?
We've got a bunch of players that aren't good enough for United, we've got a few that don't want to be here and you think giving Pochettino £100m and some imports from the Dutch/French 2nd division will get us back to the top?
Sure.
