Guaranteed, they want a Yes man who will take the blame for their ineptitude.
Yeah feel exactly the same
Yeah if you aren't listening to the guy brought in on a consultancy basis then why bother appointing him to the role
Think many of us would feel more optimism IF we could secure Ten Hag for the summer and ANNOUNCED IT but know that won't happen

I'm starting to think it won't matter. We will be shit regardless of manager. The spectrum is probably how shit, how much money we'll waste, how unlikable our players will be. Without an actual cultural reset, it will all be a bit pointless.
I switched over to the Newcastle game and I saw a couple of players fighting for lost causes as if it was the most normal thing in the world. I think I remember one instance of Cavani doing that in the last few months.

Agree with all of this, the club is really just doomed for failure.
We could go for Poch and he'll prove his naysayers right, we could go for ETH and he'll flop and not be the messiah he's made out to be, Christ we could get Pep or Klopp and even they'd fail here just one of those things, we had our time now we must suffer
Does anyone actually believe it’ll get better?
Its a:
(1) ownership issue
(2) scouting issue
(3) recruitment issue
With our money and resources any old fool could Put together a coherent team.
New Manager = Rinse and Repeat

It can get better if we go for the right manager. Unfortunately everyone knows we won't. We will go for Poch who is simply not the one to take us forward.
Guess you are referring to Ten Hag? - I just don’t see it being any better…..
Stars are aligning for poch to come and take us back to our glory days. All the popular choices has failed here at United and I can see poch coming in and silencing everyone. He seem most qualified with his stint at psg handling huge ego ans is doing well over there and his time at spurs and also doing well there. I can't see United being the place where he fails as the structure is there for him to have us thriving again.
Him or Enrique for me. Just want to finally have someone with a distinct and progressive philosophy, playing on the front foot... But it would make too much sense. We will not even try to get any of them and go straight for Poch which will definitely mean us being stuck in the eternal battle for TOP 4 as he is not a bad manager but just not someone to win the league for us.
At least when Poch does come and does fail your posts will be fun to read
Just promise you won't do a Glaston on us and book those tickets to India
Spot on, this. Our illustrious board is already dead set on Poch and that's that. Decent manager, but not a winner. Will fit right in.
Tbf, ETH had a much worse mess at Utrecht and he sorted them out. Don't despair.
I know your Poch's mom and all, but I'll never understand how a manager who walked into well run teams like Soton and Spurs(at the time) with squads entering their prime is somehow supposed to sort our culture out. The only time he had to do something similar is at PSG and he's not impressing so far. So I'm struggling to see how he can have a clearout and reset the culture since he himself said that he "holistic" approach when it comes to man management.
ETH all the way for me.
This would be the only positive if Poch comes really.
It is more likely all the fans that criticize him will flip flop. I am confident with my knowledge and I can't see poch failing here. He will easily be our best manager post sir Alex
Potter ? What
Wouldn't bank on it, people have made their mind up on him and he'll be hounded out like others before him as soon as he drops a single point
Yea, I expect him to not be giving time, but the board will be the adult in the room. Pochettino is a project type of manager, so expect a lot of unity and player performing above their levels. We will see the likes of player that were hounded out as being useless become world class or good team players. Looking at how he is developing and transforming potentially high | decent players like nuno Mendes, xavi Simon's, Danilo, Kimbemepe, gueye, kehrer, etc into good team player is actually what you expect of a top manager and one that will thrive at united. Poch is the most qualified candidate that might be attainable and our board will be idiots to overlook him for anyone other than pep or klopp.
If we don't get this man this summer, we will look back on it as missing out on Klopp or Pep v2.0.
Absolute insane numbers. That and he also has a very similar coaching style to Ralf. Continuity is a must if we are to steady this ship.
All I want for Christmas is that Pep Guardiola is my idol.
Given how Soton are bossing Spurs, get in another Ralph.
Will he fancy it though.... He won't be short of offers
I've wanted him around 2020 before we signed Bruno, but at the time he seemed defensively suicidal. This year he made Soton defensively sound and actually took points of the big boys: Us, Pool and City x2.
Personally I rate his time at Soton above boch Poch and Koeman, both of whom had superior squads.
The man just impressed me. Bar that 9-0 drubbing we gave them, every time he came to OT, they actually went toe to toe with an inferior squad. We relied on 85+ minute goals to take points of them even at OT. Personally I rate him higher than Potter.
Us, PSG and Dortmund.
Ironically we are in a very good position and as things stand since most of the teams already have top managers or just hired recently. We are in a very good position.
He also strikes me as a determined, driven and cultured man. He wants to go toe to toe with the best managers in the world. Hw wants win the big trophies like the PL, La Liga, CL. I don't think the Ligue 1 is high on his priority list. That why I think the PL is his most likely destination.
And as things stand we are the only Top club in England looking for a manager. We also have Arnold who delegated all of the recruitment matters to the footballing people. Ralf is a fan, apparently so is Mortough.
Dare I say all the stars are aligning.
They are bossing Spurs at the moment. Really working the ball well.
To be fair its not as if Spurs are a special special team, as much as so many have a bonk on for Conte, they often look ordinary.
I do like that Ralphy chops though.

I mentioned Ralph a few weeks back and got shot down. Damn you all to hell !
TO HELL !!
TO HELL !!
Look at their squad ffs.
You were saying?!
Ralf out, Ralph in
It wasn't cool then
I've been on the Ralph train since October 2019. While ETH has emerged as a better candidate, if we miss out I wouldn't mind if we appointed Ralph as the better version of our current Ralf.
As a sidenote: we are facing against his team in 2 days time. So it's Ralph vs Ralf. Apprentice vs Master.
Apparently Ralpf Hassenhuttle said earlier in the season he wanted to retire in 2024. Commentators mentioned it at the final whistle wondering if he would do it.
I just watched the SAF documentary the other night. What a man he is and what a Manager he was.
I totally forgot what a difficult start he had and how long it took him to turn things around and create that winning mentality.
I don’t know if his way of managing people would work today, but his philosophy about not putting yourself above the team, and for anyone who does not live up to that to be shown the door, should be installed by every manager at United.
I don’t know how many in the current United squad that has the right mentality to be a United player by the Fergie standards, but I truly hope that our next manager will clear out and build up based on those principles. Then I don’t mind if it will take a few years before we can challenge for the PL or CL trophy, as long as I can see that we are making progress and the manager and the players have the right attitude.

The players can feck off. Don't want a manager pandering to them and letting them carry on being on holiday.
ESPN and Luckhurst running the same story. Weird one. Who is briefing the players want Pochetino? Pochetino?
