In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
BBC saying he's due to meet Eric Steele and Rene today.
I'd love to see Rene as his assistant.
So what, Round replaces Phelan and Lumsden replaces Meulensteen?
Lumsden is a bit old isn't he???
I would prefer Meulensteen to stay.
Wouldn't surprise me if them two at least were kept on, Rene has been a pretty key part to our coaching staff over the last few years (and no doubt more influential than Micky Phelan has been) and Eric Steele has been brilliant with De Gea's development over the last two seasons and would be silly to stop that now.
Yeah I think Phelan's a goner.
Again no confirmed statement but it is believed he wont make any drastic changes to the coaching set up, even though the above are all tipped to join him.
Very much all contradicts itself.
I agree with you completely. Moyes would have to be a complete knob to dispense with Eric Steele given how well he gets on with DDG and the other 'keepers.
Without having any basis to presume, it does strike me that Meulensteen is very innovative with training.
Phelan can go.
I think Mike Phelan see's himself as a manager, wasnt he linked with the managers job of a lower league team? Wont be surprised if he see's this as an opportunity to make that move.
Imagine if Park was still at the club
"Was that the warm up boss?"
Hours later....
"He's still fecking running....... I.... I don't..... how?"
Moyes is going to kick down the front door and just start throwing horseshoes at everyone.
"We regret to announce the following layoffs, in alphabetical order:.."
"..Phelan, Mike.."
"..That is all"
"..Phelan, Mike.."
"..That is all"
So we're slagging Phelan off and welcoming Round in? I'd prefer Phelan to stay. He knows the club, players and how we operate; Round does not or is not familiar with any of those things.
I would watch a film of their road trip adventures.
The Adventures of Frogie and Mosey?
And Pat! Can't forget Pat.
Indeed! Someone, photoshop Evra's head onto Albert! 
Someone shop their heads onto the Zoolander car gif
Nobody was actually welcoming Round in!?
Moyes isn't going to come into the club without a single member of his previous backroom staff following behind; it would be too awkward for him to just come in and take over Fergie’s "team" without changing a single member.
Most clubs would have a complete overall of the backroom staff when a new member takes over, but the fact Moyes is having talks with the current backroom staff is only a positive sign that he's willing to stick to most of the foundations that have already been set.
Phelan has been a great servant to the club, but he was Fergie’s right hand man. Managers prefer to have a right hand man they know & trust, so it would be right for Moyes to bring Round in. Rene is the First Team Coach and known to be a great tactician, he probably has a much, much better understanding of the players and how we play than Phelan – that’s why most people are more keen on keeping him at OT when Moyes comes in rather than Mike.
Even RVP said this:
As I say, Mike has been a great servant to United, but as mentioned earlier this could also be the perfect opportunity for him to manage a club.

I find it amusing how most on here are quite happy to see Phelen given the elbow yet would all love for Rene to stay despite having little or no knowledge about what either of them actually do.
Phelan puts out the cones in training and Rene does everything else. Simple.
what is this horseshoe business? I am guessing it is some sort of rigorous training exercise but what exactly does it involve?
Well Phelan works on the travel schedules. Fergie said that.

Looked like it to me. The majority have been saying that they'd be happy to see Phelan leave despite them having no clue as to what influence or ability he has! When interviewed, the players have nothing but praise for him and Rene and I'd rather an assistant be at our club regardless of who he's served under that knows the current squad and the club as it is today. Phelan has been at the club for around 20 years as both a player and coach, now that's experience worth keeping IMO.
I never said he shouldn't bring his own staff in. He'd be daft not to but he shouldn't do it for the sake of changing. We have a well drilled back room team, why change that? Add to it but dot just change like for like because its something new!
Rooney and Anderson will die
Well that's Rooney and Ando gone then.
Fancy foreign name vs boring English name.
That said, I want to keep Renee. He has been key in our youth development in recent seasons and you can see the benefits of his input now, in players like Welbeck and Cleverley.
Is it bad I laughed when I read that.
I think Phelan will stick around, perhaps not as assistant manager but he will stick around.
Have you guys noticed that even during the warm-up, Anderson is last! He is usually 10 meters behind everyone else, cutting each trip across the pitch 30 meters short
I think Moyes will win the Champions League in his first year at United.
I think he is going to be so good he will average a trophy a game. only after the first game that is
Like a vagrant that just won't leave!
I do though, honest. I think he will win the Champions League but come second or third in the League.
