We would take the world's most exciting progressive manager and utterly break them. Shambles of a football structure at the club from the very top down. Obviously we need a new manager now, but our problems are so much bigger than that.

Would mean we've blown this season in my opinion though. An interim who everybody knows is leaving anyway and the players may think "no CL football, no idea who the new guy is/how we work together, so I'll go"
If you're a player, this brings you absolutely 0 confidence
I disagree, it's worked quite a few places in the past I think. Hiddink for one.
Would Ferguson come back for the rest of the season as a joint position with Carrick or Fletcher. Seems to me, as an outsider, you are screwed by the fact you have one of the best squads in the league, so the incoming manager has to perform immediately. The players are capable of beating any team in the world, they need someone they will follow, your shortlist looks pretty woeful.
Yeah, only 78 games for Porto, 125 for Sevilla. Not exactly a huge CV by 55 years old.
I wouldn't get my hopes up that we want Ten Hag since the statement indicates the manager we want is not available. Rodgers also doesn't seem available going by reports that he doesn't want to leave Leciester now
Waiting to the end of the season means Rodgers or ETH. Rodgers is out of contract iirc so knowing this board it'll be him.
Let's pray ETH puts up a madness in the CL. That's the only hope
As good as it is to finally get Ole out of the way, Carrick and McKenna need to be sacked pronto.
Otherwise, we'll have a season like Chelsea and finish in the lower half of the table. It seems we cannot even do a sacking right.

Lopetegui sounds like the Spanish David Moyes.
Give him a top 6 club and he can overachieve. But put him in charge of a mega club/nation, and his philosophy collapses in on itself.

Not necessarily. Dortmund had exactly that situation last season when they sacked Favre, signed Rose for this season and made Terzic (assistant to Favre) interim manager. Terzic got them the CL qualification, which seemed impossible at a time and won the DFB Cup. It can work.
We're finished if we're actually targeting Rodgers in the summer.
Leicester fans literally want to get rid of him.

I don't think that it means anything too specific outside of no obvious mid to long term managers being available.
I hope they have identified who they want already and that's why they didn't sack Ole sooner... They were perhaps just hoping to limp over the line before getting the long-term target in. ETH definitely fits that bill and could be revolutionary for us. Rodgers is a good coach but I am not sure he's quite ready for United.
He managed the Spanish U19 and U21 youth teams from 2010-2014, winning the Euro U19 and Euro U21 championships.
Go for Poch now.
No, Rodger contracted until 2025 according to Transfermarkt. Com
So we’re essentially now looking for two managers.
One to steady the ship till the summer- and one for the ‘long term’
My money is on Blanc and ETH

I hope we are trying to sign ETH for next season, not Rodgers.
What's Di Matteo up to these days? Maybe he can fluke his way to another CL win again as caretaker.

Seriously?
Rodgers. Absolute joke if he comes in. Weird fecker too.
Lots of top teams have used interim managers quite successfully, don’t see why our players should be different.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Rodgers, if he does get fired, we can't hire him then surely.
A sacked Leicester manager and former scouser as our manager. The fans would go ballistic.

He will get sacked this season.
I can't see it keeping Pogba (if he leaves fine but still not great), Ronaldo I really cannot see staying if we drop out of top 4 and all our semi decent players who are on the edge may just go to a club where they know they are definitely wanted. A player may not risk another season on the fringes with a new manager
So essentially Ole sacked for no reason. The entire coaching staff is staying.
Watch them all turn into world beaters when Ole’s out the door. Same as shat happened after Jose left.
"cut off one head and two grow back"
The no plans bit makes it very believable.
No plans? What the feck have they been doing the last few weeks?
Also wasn’t Phelan meant to be going out the door along with Ole? Is this an Ed Woodward style he’s going but not actually going type thing?
As bad as they have been, we have a game in two days. Could be they're just in charge until the interim gets in within a week or so.
The indication that they cannot find a permanent appointment really highlights how badly this football club is ran. This is Manchester United, persuading one of the managers on their shortlist and if needed, paying their club compensation shouldn't be a challenging issue to overcome. It's also embarrassing that the club cannot go out and find a permanent manager to take charge considering they just brought in Cristiano Ronaldo, who I'm sure doesn't want to play a valuable season of his career for an 'interim manager'.
Would you have Woodward running our training sessions for the next few days?
These guys will get sacked soon, I'm sure.
I thought Phelan was also sacked with Ole. Geez.
If you want an interim.....go for Ragnick
You do realize that there isn't just Carrick, McKenna, and Phelan right? There are literally dozens of coaches the work for the club.
