I am not sure INEOS can afford a season-long interim in order to get someone like Inzaghi next Summer? As such, their best path is to get the best, currently available manager on a 2+1 yrs contract imho… with an exit clause / agreed compensation if targets for the season are not met !?
Life after ETH — the next United manager
- Thread starter Red Star One
- Start date
If somehow Ruud turns out to be a genius then fair enough.
However, that's fantasy land.
Let's hope the club learned it's lesson on giving out contracts based on a period of good form.
I don't know, man, many were adamant Yoro wasn't choosing United over Real Madrid and there was no way United would get him. Well, that's not what happened. I don't believe he will come either, but if there ever was a time it's probably now. Far enough from 2026 and with little happening international wise. He might decide to instead come back into the club game rather than twiddle his thumbs for months.
There is that risk yeah. I do think Frank comes across better than Potter though. Potter always seems a bit flat / boring in interviews. I do get the impression that Frank could inspire confidence better than Potter.
But yeah it's a risk, although I think Amorim would be equally as risky, if not more tbh.
I'm not inspired by the links to Thomas Frank but if he did come, then Eriksen captaincy incoming, and nailed on to start every game.
if you mean the bullshit written by someone who probably wasn't born when I started supporting United, yeh. "well done, Einstein".. if you don't then apologies
Anyone think Wayne will apply? 
Refusing to get excited about the next great thing from Europe. Amorim, Alonso, Nagelsmann.
the EPL is a different beast.
Whilst it’s possible any of the above could come in and turn it around, my preference would be Emery
What he’s done at AV is nothing short of excellent. With plenty of EPL experience, he knows the league. He’s brilliant in knock out football and has AV playing some very good football.

We need to steer clear of Emery. His teams are questionable out of possession, to put it lightly. It has been clear at every team he's been at so far, even at Villa, and to this day it's a problem, despite the significant improvement of that team under him. It was a problem vs United too when they played us a few weeks ago.
In my opinion, ETH's failure can also be attributed partly to his United side being really bad out of possession. There's no point in getting in someone who might be an improvement but with a heavily limited ceiling.
Anyone think Wayne will apply?
I will save our season in 2027.That's a leap.
Surely his teeth are too big, no?
Give it to Giggsy
A lucky manager would be a start.
When's the last time we got a dodgy penalty or a last minute winning own goal?
Thomas Frank is the early favourite according to Jamie Jackson
Steven Gerrard
How? He surely can’t manage us and Germany?
How about Rafa Benitez?
Bit tongue-in-cheek, but a Danish manager bringing in many Danish players into his Brentford side makes me think that he's got a high level of trust in players from his homeland.
I'm also not sure there's a single manager out there, Pep included, who you could absolutely guarantee would be a success. There's so much wrong and it could sink even a good manager.
If there was a candidate out there with a profile who made you think they would be significantly more likely to succeed than any of the currently available options you'd think maybe it's worth waiting, but as they're all as much of a gamble as each other you might as well pick who can get to work straight away.
I think now would be a good time to reset the poll
Yes to Nagelsmann and Frank. Although I'd prefer Amorim and probably Hoeneß over Frank
Just don’t get it with Frank.
If the Nagelsmann rumours are true, why would he want to come into this mess? Seems lots of money going on for him though, according to Oddschecker. Problem is going to be that most serious managers will want to overhaul the squad, with money we don’t have. Yes, EtH was an utter failure as a coach, but he’s also left us with a squad that’s not top drawer.
We might be a at a bad moment as a club, but this is still one of the biggest jobs in club football. Any manager who isn't already at a big club would kill for this job. I find it strange that some people are still underestimating the pull of United.
Some managers might prefer a summer move out of their respect for their current clubs, but all in all this a great job that pays a great deal of money and can spend well in the market. Most managers would back themselves to make a difference.

Me either. Would inevitably end badly
We already have 3 Danish players, not long before a front 2 on Hoijlund and Obi-Martin
Frank is my guy. Danish. Weird. He has it all.
Maybe Tuchel can take over there and England can get in Eddie Howe and the most English Englishmen can be happy?
It depends on his preference. A lot of people mentioned that he likes to the Germany job because he wants to be close to his family, but other than that, a national team job isn't one for young managers imo. It's boring and you barely see your players. He must fancy returning to club football at some point. But none of us know what he's thinking at the moment.
What style of football does Naglesman play?
And do we really expect him to leave his position with his country for us.

Purely basing it off of the wages an international manager gets vs club football. I imagine a contract termination clause isn't a made-up number and has some function of (# of years left, annual wage).
Another gegenpressing disciple.
As far as I can find out from a quick Google search, Nagelsmann doesn’t speak English - which I find surprising
Am so tired. Am not choosing any manager. I have no clue what or who will work...
Can coach a brilliant counter attacking team which Ten Hag aspired to do but failed for a good 3 years. I think he can do a job and we'll do well against most teams and our squad is still suited to Bruno x Rashy x Garnacho x Hojlund hero-ball.
Well said.
