I mean its the same caliber of manager. Good coaches who have found their level at the likes of Sevilla/Villareal, but not good enough to make the step up to a big club.

We could do a hell of a lot better too. If there's a chance to grab Enrique or Ten Hag either now or in the summer then we should be pulling all the stops to make it happen.
Lopetuigi would be a shockingly poor appointment. Look at the number of goals his team's manage season after season. It's depressing
So he is a Spanish Moyes then, brilliant. Do not want.
Lopetegui would be an underwhelming appointment. I guess on a six-month contract I could see the appeal, get us to summer and let us pick from a wider pool, but that’s about it.
I disagree. That should only be one of the incoming manager's assessments. What happens if Ronaldo is injured in the first game?
If the club hire this guy on a permanent basis I think I’d give up watching football. Terrible choice.
Sevilla are top of the league and have scored more goals (and averaged more possession) than Man City this season. I don't think the comparisons with Moyes are very fair.
I agree that people might tire of his possession-orientated approach, though - it is a little bit Van Gaal-esque at times.

So, agent is pushing who will be our new manager? feck me, some journos are really writting bs stories.
Frankly anybody Ronaldo wants should automatically be disqualified. He is already distorting reality too much. We will never get a modern playing style if everything is catered towards his narrow (albeit brilliant) game.
Given how we've announced it, surely nobody who would be available now e.g Zidane or even Rogers given that I can't see him turning down the role to stay with Leicester through until end of the season, is now in contention. It's someone under contract to club he can't/isn't willing to break until the summer.
No one respects the club anymore
The Glazers and Woodward have blood on their hands
This is Klopp's attitude to Woodward's Disneyland offer now become near universal.
At some point the share price is going to start collapsing. At which point the Glazers will probably start buying shares, the sneaky knuts.
I don't know where is the problem.
1) Ask Zidane does he want a job or not. If not...
2) Go and say to Ten Haag that it is now or never. If he refuses...
3) Hire Rodgers on 18 months contract. If he does well with this squad for the rest of the season then give him another season.
It is not that hard, ffs.

We played them last season in the group stages of the CL when Lampard was in charge. In the first leg they were brilliant and completely dominated us for large parts of the game. They were great in possession and pressed us like a Klopp team.
Yes, we then completely smacked them 4-0 in the second meeting, but they were far from defensive or boring like many in here seem to think.
Are we genuinely not big enough to get Pochettino out of his job, Ten Hag out of his job, Zidane to want to come instead of waiting around for a potential France job?
With our playing squad I would've thought atleast one of out those 3 would take the long term contract that's going to be offered.

This guy jumps on other people's stories, adds innocuous trivial impossible to disprove titbits and everyone sucks his arse. I can do that
'Enrique's family "very settled", wife is said not be keen on move to England'
Look how ITK I am. Sorry for a slight derailment but that is ALL this guy does. His reputation as a reliable source is a joke. Someone breaks a story, two mins later not only is he ahead of that story, he has an indirect quote from someone central to the story. Biggest bullshitter going. Very good at it though.
If you Tweet at 14:00 you're going to make a sandwich at 14:01 he's going to be Tweeting: sources say this will be "meat based" yet this is unconfirmed - depends on the cheese" and everyone will be wanking over how much knowledge he has about your lunch. Everything he does is jump on what's been tweeted by others, adding on nonsense made up trivia to make it seem as if he's the one who got the scoop.

Hassenhutl please. Embrace the press. He’s gettable and he’ll make them run. Manager is just a token position at this club though if the owners won’t take the initiative or let unhappy players be sold on as quickly as possible
Seems like we've got too many decision makers at the club in the absence of one good decision maker or director of football.
Keeping the coaching staff is a disgraceful decision if the interim manager is being forced to keep them on.
Ole and coaching staff to:
Someone else and coaching staff.
Is that much of an upgrade of the management team? No!

Not necessarily. Given that they apparently weren't planning on sacking Solskjaer until the loss yesterday I doubt they have anyone in mind for the summer. It's just kicking the can down the road in the hope that someone becomes available then or that the interim does well enough that they can avoid having to do any actual work and just give them the job permanently.
However the circumstances may change (Zidane might be more interested next summer, maybe it's harder to get the target they want, Rodgers might be sacked by Leicester so they don't have to buy him out etc.) and so although they're probably not the favourites right now, I don't think this rules them out completely because currently I doubt there's any real plan in place.
Poch looks like he's going to win his first major honours with PSG this season so unlikely he throws that chance away, Ten Hag is unlikely to leave Ajax midseason especially with the season they're having, and Zidane has no interest in managing in England, nor can he even speak English.
It wouldn't surprise me if this talk of an interim manager is part of a long-term plan to get Gareth Southgate or something equally foolish.
So many threads similar topics could do with some thread merging I think.
Sky think we are gagging for Potch
Poch or Rodgers, god may help us!
It's not that we're not big enough. It's the structure at the club and those the manager will work under that probably puts them off.
Sky Sports News are saying that Pocchettino is our number one target with Ten Hag as second choice, won’t let me copy the link but the story is on the app.
What if Leicester want £20m to release him?
Pochettino won't go mid-season when he has the best chance to win the Champions League in his entire career. We need to stop chasing this.
I'd take either of those over Rodger's and Lopetegui
Hopefully Poch stays put then
Neither will Ten Hag which is why an interim is important for the rest of the season. The pool of potential managers becomes just Rodgers if we're not playing CL football next year
That probably doesn't help the case. You'd have to think we have the agreement in place for a manager to come in at the end of the season and that's why we're going after an interim manager.
Youd like to think we're not just kicking the can down the road but that can't be written off either. Personally I think it will be out of Ten Hag/Pochettino/Zidane.
No a chance Ten Hag turns us down so he can have a crack at the CL with Ajax next season.
If we go from Moyes to Lopetegui after all these years, I will cry.
Didn't Sir Alex manage Aberdeen and Scotland in the aftermath of Jock Stein dieing?
