No, thanks.
Massimiliano Allegri targets Manchester United job
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
Isn't his football style tremendously boring?
Not a single person on here can answer that.
Just rewatch our ties against Juve last year. There's no difference at all except Allegri had a ten times better team. Boring pragmatic crap football all over again and he even managed to lose against Jose last year at home.
I meant someone realistic. There is no chance in **** he will be appointed. Not in million years.
Very true.
Nagalsmann if we wait
Poch at the rate he's going with Spurs
Farke? You can tell I'm running out.
Yeah, he'll do for the next 18 months. Then we get to spin the wheel of misfortune again.
No more "pragmatic" football.
I want United to win but I also want us to win playing attacking football. If a manager doesn't at least offer the hope of fulfilling both criteria, he doesn't fit the job.
I'm sick of watching the likes of City winning but more than that I'm sick of watching them win while playing brilliant, attack minded football. That has to be the goal, not just trying to grind out some results.

Nah man.
Now, now. I'm sure Rafa, Roy or Brentan would make themselves available. Maybe a last stint for Houllier.
The type of shite I would expect Woodward to do. Let Ole manage United another year, thus going into Year 3 he's a lame duck just like LVG was. There's a viable, "better" solution in Allegri out there.
But regardless of manager, United have to recruit better players and have continuity amongst each others strengths. Going from Jose, to Ole, to potentially Allegri shows zero continuity in terms of vision, playing style/performance.

Someone please enlighten me. Wrong thread but lemme ask: why do I not hear Laurent Blanc's name among the discussion of potential managers for us? I used to watch his PSG side in the Champions league and even though he didn't get to the semis but his style of football was very pleasing to the eyes and created a lot of chances. Is he that bad or what?
TBF we tossed contuinity of playing style out the window a while ago. At least LVG to Mou made some sense in that regard.
I wanted Poch too but recent results have made me skeptic. I don't think there is anyone available, I would rather have Wenger take the job than Allegri to be honest. At least we will play some attractive football.Nagalsmann if we wait

You mean a currently unemployed 'decent manager' would like to jump on the gravy train, wait a few years for a decent payout when he fails, and leave us royally screwed and no further forward? A positive sign?
I disagree with that, but neither of us know for sure.
Allegri would be a good appointment if we want to salvage the season, but in the long run he would be another gargantuan mistake.
I can’t believe I’m saying this after all my criticism for Ole, but I would rather give more time to Ole just on the basis of his transfers alone, than appoint Allegri if it was between the two.
We are sick and tired with old school past their peak pragmatic managers.
Seems like an appointment we will make.
We haven't got a clue how to play football.
A meticulous trainer is just what we need. Purging the rotten sentimentality and nepotism from the club is a bonus.
I will be over the moon if Allegri comes here.

No thanks
Fantastic manager, did brilliant at both AC Milan and Juventus winning titles and got Juventus close to winning the Champions League twice. Don't want people saying he wouldn't suit the United way because right now the United way we are currently playing is absolutely terrible to watch.
Is one of the best out there and tactically very very good. I'd take him in the morning If we gave him the right structure to work with

Who is going to replace Klopp? Will be an interesting appointment and will come around pretty soon.
Pointless without reform higher up.
Personally i would expect Poch to replace Zidane and Allegri to replace Poch.
At least Rafa and Brentan have won a league title more recently than Liverpool, sounds good to me.
Its too sad to think about.
Would you take a chance on Gerrard?

In that case, it's a no from me!
I think Tuchel would come.
Uh Wenger always had good technical players to perform the attractive football....but they were soft as wet toilet paper. Give me the results. Allegri would have been a good manager immediately after Jose, but not now. Give Ole his time unless United get relegated. Build with the young players and let Ole turnover the squad. One voice, one direction, one way. Then let him be judged until after the squad is adequately built. It's far from being adequately built.
Ole has won a league title more recently than Liverpool (both as a player and a manager)! Let's enjoy it while it lasts.At least Rafa and Brentan have won a league title more recently than Liverpool, sounds good to me.
Tuchel is an enigma and has a temper about him that is divisive. His end time at Dortmund showed this friction and Ake Watkze and Zorc let him loose.
Bet you've been loving the Ole sentimentality/nepotism bringing us down whilst dreading Gerrard doing the same to you when Klopp leaves.
Don’t think he would be willing to sign on till just the end of the season
If Allegri wants the job, then you have to seriously consider him for it. With his reputation, he could actually probably do better than United at the moment. He won the league with Milan as well as Juventus, in fact he has a pretty flawless record in Italian football. Just because he left Juventus and they wanted a fresh approach doesn't mean he didn't do a great job there, that's just the way modern football is now. Several times in the Champions League he proved to be excellent tactically. Couldn't get over the line and win one, but lost to two excellent teams in his best years in Real in 2017 and Barca in 2015.
Think his negative style is being overplayed here. Pragmatic yes, but slightly more positive and modern than Mourinho. Realistically, it wasn't the style of play that got Mourinho sacked anyway, it was the antics off the pitch and complete collapse of the defence in his last season that got him sacked. Allegri would be like getting Mourinho in 2011 before he went off the rails at the end of his Real Madrid reign.

That's what I'd call changing manager yet again.
I don't blame you at all. It's been a nightmare ever since PSG. Steer clear is all i can say.Yes.
Right now, no way. He would have to pull up trees at Rangers in next few years to even get on the shortlist. From a perspective of continuity Pep Ljinders should at least get interviewed. Other than that it should simply go to the best candidate available at the time. I really wish Klopp hadn’t suggested Gerrard. Whilst I do love a bit of sentimentalism, not when it comes to succeeding Klopp. The job will be hard enough without extra noise around an appointment like Gerrard.
