I think some people like the challenge. You are offered a job from big club with lot of resources that trying to find their way to get back to their winning way and be the first manager to be successful to replace Sir Alex Ferguson. I don't know how you are not attracted to that. Some people probably prefer the easy way but some people like tough challenge like this.
From God's mouth to Sam Luckhurst's ear.
Tuchel's the choice. A massive success, a class act and one of the best coaches in the world. If United can get him, you have to take him.
You're right. Moyes and Woodward weren't interested and Rio Ferdinand claimed Thiago actually asked him to personally put in a good word for him.
Tuchel is not coming to OT. Ten Hag it must be...if he's willing to come here, which I question.
let one of them come first. Promise, the next day we’ll have a “poch/ETH out” thread. We’ll talk about a rebuild and have a poll. We are good at that.
A massive success where? Has not impressed this season with Chelsea.
Won a couple of cups in his career, the french league with PSG, that's it.
He's won 3 trophies this year. Missing out on a 4th purely on penalties. 10 trophes for 3 different clubs since 2017. One of them being a champions league. FIFA coach of the year. What exactly do you consider a "massive success" if not that?
It would be very United if they announced the next manager right after top 4 is gone.
The Guardian reporting that Utd think they have a chance of landing him. Hope that pans out. Would be a cracking appointment.
Where did you exactly get that from. You called Luckhurst a dick, I said the owners are aholes. I suppose you missed the joke.
I did indeed
The Next Permanent Manager thread should be a sticky.
PSG trophies are not really trophies let's be honest. Apart from them, he has won 2 major trophies, both cups.
No, I don't count glorified community shields like the super cup or other one-game cups as a real trophy.
Massive success is winning a domestic league and a major cup or two in the same season, preferably in consecutive seasons.

A Champions League isnt a major cup? What fine logic you have. Lets not count half of Fergusons league title wins either, since he happened to be the best team in that league as well.
As much as it would be good I think united have only got there eyes on 2 appointments… pochettino or ten Hag. There the long term targets. I don’t think tuchel will leave Chelsea, he’s certainly showing no signs that he wants to.
He won the CL and a german cup as major trophies. So I counted the CL as a major trophy.
The Champion's League has just been sanctioned as a major trophy by "Roario". Whew!
Ole then?
It’s in the top 3 of 4 for sure, I doubt too many managers will care that much if we’re out of the UCL
It’s not like we have any chance of winning it next year, to be honest
Right. We were easily the best team in the league at the beginning of the season and throughout last year, both incredible defensively and incisive in attack - lacking a finishing touch in a lot of instances.
This season has had a multitude of issues and we have definitely lost form but the results are still there, our problem is drawing too many games, we have only lost 3 times. If that’s not impressive you need to go home and rethink your life
Having said that, there’s nothing in Tuchels interviews or behavior to suggest he is ready to walk. He has simply stated the obvious, he is very happy, settled and wants to stay however who knows what the situation will be at the end of the season. This does not equate to trash Daily Mirror stories of him ready to walk, sensationalist headlines to sell a rag.
Yeah could totally see that happening knowing how utterly dreadfully we are run
Yeah the Tuchel talk will die completely when Chelsea get their new owners
Yeah in other words Ralf wants Ten Hag, however the board and those shyster players want Pochettino for easy street.
Whoever it is, I hope we announce him as soon as possible.
If I remember correctly, City announced Guardiola after january window while both Pellegrini and Pep were still in charge of their respective clubs.
I don't see why can't we announce ETH early given our strong and friendly ties with Ajax, if he is the 'Chosen one'.

What is it? Results are still there or drawing too many games?
We had a manager who liked drawing games as well. Also a former Chelsea manager.
Yank it down will you? Roberto di Matteo won it.The Champion's League has just been sanctioned as a major trophy by "Roario". Whew!
Lukaku came to Chelsea under Tuchel which seems like a waste of 100mil.
Just curious, what’s the benefit of announcing it so early? If it’s to attract/keep players than that’s more likely dependent on CL qualification. What possible other benefit could there be? If anything it would just be a distraction. Top 4 is gettable rn esp if we can get a result against Pool. Our sole focus should be on that, nothing else. Let the board make the decisions in the background.
Even though I want Tuchel but I think the quicker we sort this one out, the better so the new manager can prepare for this massive job asap. This is why we shouldn't even consider Tuchel because we are going to need to wait until end of the season or even the start of pre season. ETH remains as my preference.
Tuchel is not good enough to challenge Pep or Klopp, which is what we need. Whether Ten Hag is or not remains to be seen, but I'd rather take a chance than simply go with the foregone..
Pochetinno is winning the French title this season without competition
We're expecting too much. Who can realistically challenge those two next season? I mean really. Conte is the only one I can think of considering his excellent record with league titles but is he the right guy for the United position? ETH is not challenging those two in my opinion, but I'd welcome him here if appointed because that would mean we can expect better football.
It's unrealistic for us to expect to challenge Liverpool or City even within the next two seasons in my opinion. Let's focus on becoming a good footballing side again and the rest will follow. We will actually attract good players who want to play for footballing reasons primarily, to be part of an exciting project. It took Klopp 5 years for instance for his vision to bear fruit. Our thinking needs to change
If anyone is good enough to challenge Pep or Klopp it's Tuchel. The way some people are underrating the current Champions League winner, who by the way, managed it with a far weaker squad than Pep or Klopp is laughable. Don't think there's any way Tuchel would leave Chelsea to join us unfortunately.
Don't see any manager turning things around to be honest. Feel sorry for Ralf. He is just stuck in a mess created for three years by some other guy. Shit squad, shit mentality, toxic dressing room and no time or power to change anything. Whoever comes in after this has got to be having superpowers!!
Remember when people were turning their noses up at Tuchel and Nagelsmann cause our previous manger beat them
Which one would you be more scared of: Ten Hag going to another PL rival or Poch going to another PL rival?
"Hipster managers. Whoop whoop" Now we're picking up the pieces and having to rebuild from the so called rebuild except now the same lot act like he had no hand in putting together said pieces. Meanwhile one of those hipster managers went on to win the CL in the same season. It's like some of our fans have a humiliation fetish.
Definitely Poch for me.
