Ten Hag. To fear Poch would be to fully admit we're just a top 4 chasing Arsenal. Which we kind of are....but I won't fully admit it
Just announce Ten Hag ASAP, then we can focus on the summer transfers otherwise we’re going to get left behind. Getting a deal done now and announcing it won’t distract him from his season at Ajax, it will probably motivate him even more, he’ll wanna lift the trophy for Ajax fans for the last time before he leaves. He can also communicate with our board about players he may be interested in, and he might have a word with some of his current players about joining him, the 3 I wouldn’t mind would be gravenberch, antony And Lisandro Martinez.
The sooner we announce anyone the better, whoever it is, even if they don't start till the summer, seasons dead, no need to talk about distractions.
Just announce ETH already so we can start clearing the squad out
The issue would be distracting their current club. Ajax still have 8(?) games left in a tight title race, for example. I'm sure neither Ajax nor ETH want too much distraction at this point so the way it's handled would be important.
We need to decide who the next manager is quickly so we can begin summer planning in the background but actually announcing it can wait until it suits all parties to make it official. Maybe that means trying to leave the official announcement until their season is done, maybe it just means timing it for the upcoming international break, whatever.
Knowing how we operate, once it's done behind the scenes, it'll be as good as officially announced due to all the media noise and leaks.
Sorry but this is really nonsense. Klopp couldn't prevent Bayern winning the title while Guardiola was our coach.
According to your logic Klopp wouldn't be good enough to challenge Guardiola then. Still he beat them to win the CL and a PL title a few years later.
I don't expect us to challenge for the title this season, or the next season, but I do expect us to see playing some beautiful football and I from what I've seen from Tuchel - he is too pragmatic from me. And as I said, I don't ever expect him to ever challenge Klopp or Pep for the league. He's a tier below those managers.
I don't think so. His squad on paper is definitely good enough for City, let alone Liverpool, yet he is much farther than them. To say his squad is "far weaker" is bonkers". I don't care about winning the CL, it is a cup competition and anyone can win it. Di Matteo won it, but I doubt you'd rate him as a manager.
Think the financial difference between Bayern and Dortmund is way too big for it to be overcome, especially in Klopp's time where Dortmund refused to spend even remotely big on players. Especially when we consider that Bayern basically directly poached Dortmund's players. Still, he won two titles with Dortmund even though Dortmund was very financially inferior to Bayern.
On the other hand, Tuchel has way more resources than Klopp and around the same as Guardiola, yet is unable to mount an adequate challenge on them. That may change in the future, but right now I simply don't see it.
Aye, it's a bit of an odd take, think people are writing Tuchel off too early. He's a top coach. He has already beaten Pep to the CL, a trophy he is yet to win at City despite numerous attempts. Not to add, he's in his first full season, Pep and Klopp's sides were all over the shop in their first season, needing a year or two to start getting things together.
That whoop whoop thread was a damning indictment of the state of the fans, the clubs and rotten culture as a whole that ails Manchester United as a whole.
You could look at it another way and we have already picked our new manager and maybe an agreement with the club he is currently managing to not announce it until the end of the season is happening. Ajax still needs to win a few games to become champions and wont want any distractions. PSG could have their no 2 in charge and stroll to the title. If my theory is correct this would point to TenHag more likely to be our new manager.
I refuse to believe we haven't decided who we want. All these stories are conjectures.
I'm of the same mind. I think the decision to appoint Poch has already been made, and had been made when Ole was sacked, but back then Poch was unavailable. Now the board is waiting for him to be sacked so they don't have to pay compensation, which is just a matter of time. They are aware Poch isn't the popular choice, so they are dragging it out and making it seem like they are working really hard and thinking carefully about the next appointment, while doing the bare minimum to make it appear so. But I suspect they have no intention of choosing anyone but Poch.
If it was Poch we would have announced it by now. PSG have got nothing to play for and there’s no reason for the two clubs to keep it hush. All signs point to ETH if we have already made a decision - Ajax are still in a close title race and it makes no sense for them to announce their manager is leaving yet.
It seems like Luckhurst knows something.
I’m also inclined to think if it was Poch, there would be some press release like he is set to leave PSG after the season is done by now. We all know PSG want that Champions League more than anything and Ligue 1 titles don’t really cut it.
I may be on my own here, but I don't care for trophies, not yet anyway. What I want from United is simply to be able to watch the team play consistently effective and attractive football. In the last decade or so, there's times even when we're winning, I just have the match on to the side because it's just not entertaining.
I just want to be able to enjoy watching us again. Watch the team actually pass the ball coherently, good positional play instead of the donut formation or players all standing in the same area. Players making sensible runs, working together. Some aspects of our play has to be like Sunday league level honestly, so poor.
I don't care who the coach is, just make us an actual football team again. Right now we're like a video game 'whale', spent all the money have the end game gear, and haven't got a clue of the basics of the game.

First time for everything i suppose
The first in person meeting between Erik ten Hag, John Murtough and Richard Arnold is set to go ahead in Amsterdam on Monday 21 of March.
#MUFC are expected to offer the managerial role to ETH with the view that he will accept.

source?
It’s a pinned tweet on Sam Joseph Twitter account (not his original tweet)….. I don’t know how credible the source is… I can’t post Twitter libks
Original tweet for above posts
Some absolute nobody called zeeshanclvx
This! The trophies will come with time - I just want to enjoy watching the team again................
We should be doing what we failed to do earlier in the season and using the international break to put everything in place with the next manager.
If we still don't know who the manager will be by the end of the season, that's a huge problem. The board have had 4 months to make their minds up, we should be in the final stages of decision making by now.

I’m not getting my hopes up I’ve literally never heard of this source. Could be legit but more than likely just another chancer.
The source is a non verified "financial football student"
Ultimately anything we are saying is theory. But I could then argue that with lower expectations Poch can raise the atmosphere a lot and very quickly with some good results and having us fighting at the top of the table. Whereas an appointment like Tuchel would have an air of expectation that top 4 should be a given and we should be seeing something of a title challenge, so if we were lumbering around 5th again, the atmosphere would drop a lot and quickly.
"Who?"-tier source on that. 
Come on now!
Come on now!I think that's a really good question.
I want ten Hag more than Pochettino for United. But if Newcastle or Spurs (again) for example got Pochettino, I would expect them to become a top 4 mainstay, whereas I feel they'd still have many vulnerabilities under ten Hag.
Can I ask what your answer would be?
I think it's Ten Hag.
First of all, I am working on the assumption it has already been decided. If that's the case, Ten Hag makes more sense as both Ajax and United have an excellent relstionship, both are willing to discuss quietly and most importantly, Ajax have known since last year that this will be ETH's last season.
The same cannot be said for Pochettino who who works for a lub that simply will not negotiate until they feel he's of no use. Pochettino will not get rid of PSG, it's PSG that will get rid. That perception is important to them.

In the case that Tuchel wouldn't be willing to push to move to United, then I can say we are in agreement. And there wouldn't be much point, I don't want any manager here who wouldn't themselves apply for the position.
My hypothetical was more aimed at a scenario where he was up for the move but needed to finish the season at Chelsea and where of course Chelsea tried to block it from happening, as they would of course.
At the very least, I want the new manager capable of making the players play 2 half of football. Sick and tired to watch them play only for 45 or 60 mins. The rest of the match get battered by opponents. We are the biggest club in the world and deserve better than this.
Appreciate your passion, but don’t be coming out with stuff like this.
Nobody is entitled to success.
Support your club, enjoy the ride.
Elitist nonsense. We deserve what we have right now due to ineptitude at the highest level
Nobody is entitled to success watching the football club capable of playing 2 half of football in a match?
So u think we deserve to have a team that can't play 2 half of football?
Nobody is entitled to wanting to watch the team actually play football for two halves rather than just one? Did you even read the post
You’re not on your own mate
