Carrick will be in place for Sunday, win and stay in charge for the rest of the season.

And if Carrick gets the season, all bets are off. Ten Hag and Poch will get ghosted by Woodward and we'll start the whole cycle again, with the fans singing Carrick's at the wheel every game....

The smallest excuse to appoint Carrick permanently and they'll take it.
 
Of course, pay them 10m for a manger that is about to be sacked. Only United

Why would he be sacked? He's 11 points clear in the league and still look good for getting through in the Champions League, might even win the group.
 
If we are intent on getting Pochettino then I dont think the compensation is the factor, its probably the fact PSG arent willing to let him leave mid-season because of how it would look for them.

That or the Glazers are penny pinching.

It's impossible for him to stay beyond 6 weeks as an interim and definitely can't be permanent manager. He hasn't finished his coaching badges
 
Ask yourself, how can he get Spurs scoring the most goals and conceding the least over a PL season, but that's not happening at PSG, where Tuchel recently failed also?

His goal difference at Spurs I think I read is better than Fergie ever achieved. Yet the team full of egos and lazy attackers (bar Di Maria) aren't putting teams to the sword...

Tuchel didn't fail and the only attacker that could be labeled as Lazy is Mbappé.

The thing is they need to pay it in the summer anyway. So why don’t do it now. Neither of poch or eth are out of contract in the summer.
 
It's the same old discussion on here really.

We have had Moyes, LVG, Mourinho and OGS and all have failed to bring back the successes of the past.

Were they all numpties?

Or are we not setup, as a club, for success at the elite level?

Pretty much. If I'm CEO at Real Madrid, Juve, PSG or City and I'm looking for a new manager, would any of those even enter the conversation? Maybe Jose has enough reputation left to be thought about for a second, but when you look at his work at us, Spurs and Roma (so far), you have to think he's finished too.

I do to think that we make it harder for our managers than we need to, I think that was especially the case with LVG where there seemed to be a big mismatch between what he wanted and what he got. But its impossible to say how much because the four managers we've chosen have been such bad picks.

The problem for PSG is that as far as we know they had no intention to replace Pochettino in the short term and they don't have someone ready or planned. People try to make things more complitcated with this how it would look or save face theories, why would PSG be comfortable without manager?

Poch is out of contract the moment PSG are out of the UCL.

The CEO of Real Madrid went after Benitez, Lopetegui, Zidane and Solari.
 
Need to add Carrick to the poll as its a more realistic choice than some on there.
 
That really depends on the draw. This PSG side are by no means infallible.

Not really, based on PSG past actions the end of the season is more likely. It would be a similar situtation to Blanc and Emery.

So.. after the final then? Messi hasn't been playing well, and is just now getting to grips with Parisian life. Scored his first league goal on Saturday (a beauty). Verratti is coming back from injury (key player), and that MNM trio is finally starting to look like they can play together. They are getting better... not worse. I dunno why people seem to think that PSG suddenly are crap because Pochettino is linked to Man Utd...
 
If they lose tonight they'll be runners-up and could face Bayern, Chelsea, Liverpool, Madrid etc. so it's a bit premature to put them in the final.

If they lose, yes. They could wind up facing us can't they, which at this point would mean automatic advancement.
 
Scholes lately is saying some good stuff. I don't agree with all that shit about how we need "rebuild" again because it is complete bs but he is spot on about Carrick as interim.
Carrick is a coach with one game behind him. I am so scared now that we will give him interim role and even hire him as a permanent manager.
We are Man Utd. We do stuff like that

Yeah Scholes has been talking the most sense among the ex-Utd pundits.
 
The CEO of Real Madrid went after Benitez, Lopetegui, Zidane and Solari.

Benitez was still working at bigger clubs back then (Liverpool, Inter, Chelsea, Napoli) and Lopetegui was doing well as Spain coach. Solari was just a caretaker. Not sure why you'd even mention Zidane.

Yeah talking alot of sense and when he spoke about Carrick and Co about staying on as coaches he was 100% right. They should be gone as well, all of them. Look it was a good result last night but can't set up the team like that every game. 70 mins of match last night was dire to watch as a utd fan. Complete contrast to then switching on to watch Chelsea after. They are a well oiled machine in their style of football. We need a manager and new coaches that will take us to next level. A clean slate, new and fresh ideas on the training ground and within the club, That's what this squad needs now.

This is because he looks at the midfield and thinks "how the hell did they let it get so bad". He was talking about our lack of control in games, this was his specialty. Most here would agree that we need to rebuild our midfield.

yeah if things happen once they always happen then

I like how he just looks at Rio in disbelief like "I'm almost 50 and I could do better than that!". I bet he could too. Remember that season he retired and had to come back because we were unable to control the midfield and wound up in games where Newcastle dominated the midfield against us? It's like we never learn.

No they won't
 
Carrick isn't getting jack. There's no delusion on the fact he's an extension of the man who just got fired. They just didn't want the tealady having to put up the training cones. Has nothing to do with the board's signature foolishness.

You answered to a list of managers made of Moyes, LVG, Mourinho and OGS.

Moyes was doing well for Everton, LVG had done better than Lopetegui with Netherland since he reached the WC semi final, Mourinho was at a better stage of his career than Benitez and Zidane had zero experience as a professional coach.
 
This week we will know a lot more about the potential managers like Ten Hag whose team play tonight.

This. Some people just constant doom merchants
 
I think the Valverde links are to try and force PSG/Poch's hand a bit. I have no idea if that makes sense but it's what i'm going with.
 
Hopefully whoever comes in means Carrick, McKenna and Phelan go but it would be nice if we can get a couple of decent results so they have something to point to when looking for their next role.

Sigh. Narrowing down on a sub-point in a comment someone made about something else and then acting the contrarian on it makes for some really tedious posts.
