Well, we have an Arsenal team led by his former assistant Arteta , the Chelsea team led by his another former assistant Maresca, may be United should take his current first hand Juanma Lillo at the end of the season when Guardiola leaves City?! I will find it personally a bit boring if all of the top teams in England share the same footballing phylosophy tbh..
Life after ETH — the next United manager
- Thread starter Red Star One
- Start date
At this point, I think I’d take Potter as interim till the end of the season. Hoeness is my first choice as permanent manager in terms of realistic options
That’s not Xavi’s style. He’s more like Arteta where he sets up based on a solid defence.
You can see with Flick this season they’ve been a lot more attacking in playing style. But for where we currently are now maybe we need Xavi to build the foundations for us to get to where Barca currently are now.
I like the fact he’s not afraid to use youth and I believe the culture of our club (United DNA) is very much similar to Barcelona’s in comparison to most elite teams in world football.
Getting the manager right is the last jigsaw of success. In my opinion, the recruitment and team build up is first important setup following up with training facilities, sport science and
medical treatment.
In the summer, our recruitment is still 50/50. Some exciting young players come in and they might have potential to be top players. But other senior recruitment like De light and co. are just above average based on huge amount money we spent.
Whenever team build up is good enough, it will be much easier to bring great coach and hunt for the EPL champion again.
No thanks, too boring even if performed well. Our style isn‘t the problem, performance level has to go up.
I‘d rather go for Hoeneß, have you watched some of Stuttgart‘s games?
I really want a manager with experience of getting a decent side over the line, winning a recognised level trophy.
Nagelsmann’s history isn’t as strong as his reputation suggests, and by all accounts Inzaghi doesn’t speak a word of English.
Which kind of leaves Amorim as the one to take a calculated risk on, based on Alonso being unattainable.

Who do you think is better fit out of Iraola/Frank, can definitely see the benefit of bringing one in until we can attract a Nagelsmann (post World Cup) or Inzaghi
Betting odds have definitely shifted to Amorim and he think he is the most logical appointment at this point. It all comes down to whether he would come mid season and whether he fits with INEOS' philosophy.
Pretty sure Alonso will leave after this year though. But Amorim, Naglesmann are both fine by me. Just get rid of ETH now.
Outsmarted again by a manager who made changes and gone on top of us way too easily. We can moan about missed chances today but it’s rare we do. He has been be the worst manager in the league. Russel Martin would do a better job.
I'm finding it personally a bit boring being crap season after season and playing incoherent and outdated football.
Our style might not be a problem for you but a lot of us are getting no satisfaction at all from whatever it is we're trying to do.
Potter, Xavi both out of work. What do they want as they can do much better than this deluded clown.
Xavi as caretaker till the end of the season?
Terzic is available too.
I want to say someone like Amorim or Alonso but either we'll take too long and they'll go elsewhere, or we won't be appealing enough and they'll go elsewhere.
It surely must be a money issue now. I can't fathom why he'd still be here for any other reason driving the club down further.

And also the fact that City may be interested at the end of the season. Along with how well Sporting are doing, it’d take a lot to get him to quit mid season I suspect.
I'm starting to come around to the view point that it doesn't really matter anymore who goes and who comes. This club is just done. Fundamentally rotten and it will be an extremely long time before that changes. Not until there's a significant shift in ownership probably. Maybe it really is a rebound for the years of success. Liverpool had to wait 30 years. It's been only 12 for United. It could easily reach 30 as well, probably more. Or just go the way of Leeds. Who knows anymore? It's just so bleak.
Tika-taka is a high possession based style. It's not inherently defensive or attacking in nature.
We should get Bielsa for the rest of the season. He wouldn’t take any crap. In fact I am sure he would split the dressing room into fighters and feckers. Then we can get shot of the latter.
It’s an absolute mess. No clear tactics, no in game management. Nothing. Switches rashford and garnacho. Why? Rashford, who is already poor, plays better on the left. Garnacho plays well on the right. Why switch them? Why switch dalot and mazraoui? Why play mazraoui as #10? Why drop Ugarte? Wasn’t he brought in to stabalise the midfield? Why not give him a proper run? Why so confused between hojlund and zirkzee? What’s with those terrible press conferences?
He has to go.
He has to go.
The fact the votes are so split between about 20 candidates really says it all.
I went RVN only because I think it's inevitable we'll go a caretaker route at least for a few games.

I would absolutely love to see this. There would be zero tolerance for lazy players.
It's particularly weird that Ugarte isn't starting with Mainoo out.
It seems a bit scattergun, especially seeing an admittedly revitalised Eriksen come in for a run of games, after being totally out of the picture for ages.
I'd be scared to see his Leeds tactics here.
We'd probably keep the scoring few bit and get utterly whopped each week.
Another caretaker awaits, probably RVN.
Which is sort of a no win. If it's no better we might as well have stuck with what we had. If it's good we might get swayed down the Ole route again.
This is the exact same argument that was used about Ten Hag. This club is too big, we need managers who can handle a behemoth, and has experience with the pressure that comes with it. Managers eventually end up eaten alive here, and never fully recover.
Just get Fergie back please
He'll be sacked after the Chelsea loss next weekend, that's my bet.
I think Amorim and Nagelsmann are probably the two brightest names there? Alonso isn’t happening.
If you can get either of those names I think you give Ruud on a strict interim until the end of the season whilst you wrap up negotiations for either of those guys.
Who is Sebastian Hoeness?

I don’t think this will work.
Barça struggled to score goals with him, and he’ll likely want us to play the same way he did as a player. I don’t think he’ll be able to implement his style with our current squad. Our rivals would probably love to see Case or Ugarte trying to play the Busquets role!
When things went south at Barça, he quickly lost control of the dressing room, and I can see that happening here within a month.
The first thing we need to decide is our style of play. Right now, it’s unclear, and our recent signings haven’t done much to clarify it.
INEOS bringing in Xavi after buying Ugarte in the summer would really worry me that they didn't know what they were doing.
I still think Marco Rose could do a job at Utd. No one else seems to rate him because he finished second with Bayern.
Why would Howe leave Newcastle to come here?
Stuttgart's manager. Saved them from relegation before last season, finished second last season ahead of Bayern while getting more points than the last time Stuttgart actually won the league and now plays decent football in the CL with them.
Also he is the nephew of Bayern's patriarch Uli Hoeneß and already has managed their U23 team (two years after EtH did manage them). He is the only manager who ever did win the title in Germany's Third League with a U23 team (EtH failed to get them promoted into that league, that was managed by the guy between the two).
Will be Ruud until the end of the season.. so nothing will change, probably looking at worst ever PL finish.. then a new man in the summer.. all those new coaches need to be sacked.. it’s another rebuild..
For the inflated United wage
Rose never managed Bayern, I think you mixed something in this post?
He doesn’t even seem that content at Newcastle does he? Not like I’d want him at United anyway.
He’s fell out with numerous footballing directors at Newcastle including the current one according to reports and he was linked with England he would have run to London for an interview

Apologies, I meant second to Bayern when he was at Dortmund.
