Yeah, the same way De Bruyne and Salah weren't good enough for the PL when at Chelsea. Some people..

Ten Hag with 55% of the vote is quite incredible.
Can we bring this thread to the attention of the board please?

Look, I also prefer Ten Hag, but to dismiss Poch just because he didn't win the title and CL with Espanyol and Spurs is insane. As Pep said, only managers at top club are capable of winning titles because they have the resources and players to do so. Do you really think Pep or even Klopp would win anything with Spurs? There's very, very few managers in history that have overachieved so far as to win titles and CL with clubs that have no business winning those, like Clough or Fergie.
That last part

It's Delaney. Pretty much confirms ten Hag isn't being considered.
Tier 5 giving me semis. This is worse than Sneijder.
Yes exactly. Klopp got to the final with Dortmund and lost.
Poch choked a league to Leicester.
These are the dumbest criticisms.
It's because he inherited a team at the knockout stage - His first 6 games were against Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Man City. He didn't beat Barca and Bayern twice but he won the tie which is all that matters. He didn't get to inflate his figures with group victories over trash because he didn't start the season.
So much nonsense being posted here.
No he didn't.
Big time. Delaney should be banned as a source.
Channelling my inner-Kermit now.
If he’s saying what I want to hear then he is reliable.
I also find the thought of Ten Haag as our manager exciting but I do find it odd how people think his barebones resume is that far ahead of Poch's. Poch has some highs and some embarrassing lows whereas Ten Haag's biggest accomplishment outside his domestic league is a CL semifinal. Hasn't even managed at a big club, all he has going for him is the unknown quantity factor which could end up as disastrous as it could be rewarding. We don't even know if he's a Pep or a Vilas boas.
Exactly this. In 2 CL campaigns, he got PSG to a Semi final and then out of a tough group. Win % doesn't really matter as long as you win ties.
I would argue that Ajax are indeed a big club. A 4 times European cup winning club in fact. Please, let's not lose ourselves with thinking on English or Spanish clubs are 'big'.
That’s actually exactly why he wrote it. He’s a total hack.
For feck sakes.
Agreed, just cherry picking stats to suit their agenda.
You might as well just write down what you want to hear and recite it to yourself than read anything Delaney's written.
What are these "Embarrassing" lows?
Of course he didn’t but that’s how I’m choosing to remember it because I’m firmly Poch out.
Fair enough. A man's got to do what he's got to do.
Honestly he’s the biggest fraud of a journalist out there it’s mental.
It's all posturing at the end of the day. Will be a cold day in hell before ETH comes to Old Trafford so this is all rubbish.
The reality is that everyone is waiting on Zidane. If he's intent on doing watercolours in his chateau till summer then we all have to wait. Otherwise it's just how much and how soon for Poch.
Least wait till Poch is in before being Poch out
He farted in a lift once
Ten Hag, Amorim and then Poch for me in my preferences
If it's interim first then throw a bunch of money at Zidane and then let one of the above come in. He may not want the job full time so this may be a fair compromise unless he genuinely just hates the idea of managing in the PL/us
Yes I am being a manager muppet

Don't let perfection be the enemy of the good. We would all love ETH in a lovely upscaled Ajax ruling Europe in a well ordered club. But it's a fantasy. We have Glazers and it wouldn't work.
He always says what people want to hear! That’s how he gets his stories - by reading forums
Yeah I'm getting confused - doesn't saying you're Poch out (of PSG) now mean you're actually Poch in (for United).
made a post defending Poch and that's the bit you chose to focus on. A footnote acknowledging he isn't perfect but still ideal.
