Life after ETH — the next United manager
- Thread starter Red Star One
- Start date
We just giving up the League Cup and Europa so easily?
I think it's shocking to sack Ten Hag before we have a replacement lined up. It's going to be fecking Southgate isn't it?
Nagglesman getting mentioned a lot on twitter.
That is not a relevant criteria for the position of Head Coach at Manchester United. This isn't Customer Assistant at Tesco.
Nagelsmann won’t leave Germany. Just signed a new contract as well.
Hard to name many more interim options. Iraola and Poch are probably at teams where they'd happily leave for a club like United, most others aren't. In the summer, it will be a different story.
Poch? Really? He just signed on as USMNT manager, I doubt he'd leave the position that quickly.
I honestly couldn't care less who is in charge for the remainder of this season. However, our next permanent manager needs to be really fecking good at his job and not simply "free".
Simeone from Atletico? Seems like he's run his race there.
What’s Sarri up to these days!
Also, Terzic is a free agent now?
Also, Terzic is a free agent now?
He wouldn't take a caretaker gig.
Uh oh.
He's by far the highest paid manager in the world. We couldn't afford him
I don't see Poch leaving the U.S national team. To manage the U.S national team on home soil at a World Cup would be quite a thing to walk away from.
I'm scraping the barrel trying to find names. I'm not sure he'd leave at all, but the US national team feels a different kettle of fish to a club like Leverkusen or Sporting, where their managers are challenging for the league and in the CL.
Spanish and German managers are the flavour in England right now. That's who we will get.
Sadly yes
Nor do I. He shouldn't be considered anyway.
And the question is, why is he out of work?
He'd leap at the job if given the opportunity.
Everytime we need a new manager there's a pessimism about our chances. I remember plenty doubting we'd get ETH.
If for no other reason the salary they'll be on is enough.
Jim and Southgate are very close.
I clearly said the Europa league.
The league cup isn't really anything to write home about, it's a last resort if you're so shit you can't win anything else. This shouldn't bare any merit in deciding if someone is capable of leading us long term.
I was excited when Erik took over. Now I’m a tad nervous.
I can't say I have any expectation of a new manager coming in and miraculously turning things around.
It's sort of made for Klopp, to reawaken the sleeping giant, but that ship sailed a while ago.
Maybe an inspirational manager, like Zidane, but I'm not sure it's the sort of project that would interest him.

Not too close I hope. Jim is happily married is he not?
This scares me the most. The way we’ve been run, I would not be surprised.
That's the dream.
Xavi and Frank are unambitious appointments. Decent managers, certainly better than Ten Hag, but just not good enough. Solskjaer is just nonsense and would be comical in any capacity.
If INEOS can somehow pry Nagelsmann away, I'd be impressed. My number one choice. Or Inzaghi in the summer. Most of the rest are unrealistic or not good enough. Hoeneß is interesting, but I wouldn't go with another up and coming manager after Ten Hag.
I can't believe this wasn't done during the summer.

Good shout. If he’s not available how about Joe Biden?
Come home, Ole!
Yep. Massive, massive blunder from the new ownership. There is no way to justify that.
He'd be good support for Ruud, lived the ups and downs while having a good period of PL results. Some players have probably said they enjoyed Ole over ETH in retrospect and were disappointed in Carrick going.
Any manager that is not Dutch! I don't want favouritism. We need someone who can implement the right tactic for this group of players.
Amorim is the name a lot of people are saying but dont forget he could have gone to Liverpool in the summer and inherited a winning team, instead it collapsed because his demands were so unrealistic.
He sounds like a mercenary to me and knowing us we'll throw a blank check at him, only for him to take us to the cleaners if he isnt succesfull.
My 3 dream appointments would be 1. Ancelotti 2. Alonso 3. Emery.
All 3 are not do-able until at least next summer so the its either Ruud until then or Xavi as 4th choice.

Really hope we don't go for a season long interim option, even more annoying when a permanent solution could have been addressed over the summer. How many seasons are we willing to write off under the delusion that next year will be better.
I've warmed to the idea of Thomas Frank or even Marco Silva.
They wanted to wait til the new CEO and DOF had started, so those two could choose a manager that suited them, but the decision on ETH had to made before they started.
