Makes sense waiting. If we announce it now we'll be paying compensation to PSG. If we wait till the end of the season there's every chance PSG will sack Poch leaving him a free agent.

It's ten Hag.
The only issue with DDG at the moment is that our board will give him a new contract. There's no reason to fret with having him next season, as we have some other major issues to sort. He has a year to train his distribution and presence to show he can come forward with us.
If recent reports are to be believed we want to announce our new manager very soon - either the end of this month or some point in April. If thats the case then it won't be Poch going by his recent comments and desperation to stay on as PSG coach.
The board doesn't need to give Dave a new contract, he has one till 2024. Hendo and co will leave though.
The board have to put into place everything he wants, if they're serious about us being a proper football club again.
If its going to be announced soon then it will be Ten Hag imo.
Klopp announced he was leaving Dortmund at the end of the season before he joined Liverpool. Its not going to unsettle Ajax because they know he's leaving anyway.

And how did I treat him? I respect him for what he did.
But the club needs to bin him asap. United will never be a top club again with him being a number 1.
He hasn't been though. He's having a good shot-stopping season, that's it. During Ole's entire tenure he was an issue. He actively cost us top 4 with his mistakes during Ole's interim season, continued to make too many mistakes during Ole's first full season as manager and wasn't exactly without issues, when we came second. The last good season he had, was when we came second with Mourinho in charge. And even then, his issues with not coming off his line and as a passer became apparent.
Then it will depend on the new manager. If it is Poch he might be safe, if it is ETH he might not want him, Henderson might be in the same boat if we train them to not be particularly good with their feet.
If anyone's interested, Ajax will be playing Feyenoord in 20 mins. Should be a good game if you can find a river. Important game for Ajax to maintain distance from PSV.
Thanks for the heads up, will definitely tune in. Need to bleach my eyes from this PSG-Monaco borefest.
It's not that deep. He doesn't come off his line well enough to sweep keep in a high press team. He's really good at what he does of course but if that's where we're going then he is not what we would want.
I seem to recall the Spanish national side played high with DdG in goal at the Russia World Cup. They got massacred and DgD was humiliated and took a year to recover his form.
Even if we hire Pochettino, I'd be surprised, if he continues to be our first choice there for much longer.
There's no point in hiring a high press coach then forcing on him three forwards who won't press. Poch is not to blame for that, the awful DoF is.
I'm not sure if the decision is in Pochs hands tbh. We all know how ruthless PSG are about winning the CL. I'm sure the players have their say as well and if they're not onside with the manager then Pochs days are probably numbered. If Zidane wants the job then Poch is gone for sure. So many variables on PSGs manager for next season.
Unless it's someone like Potter then I just can't see us naming a new manager until the end of the season. We all know our club likes to look as if they're proactive but thats very rarely the case.
That's my worry, but hopefully with Rangnick also there they will let ten Hag focus on coaching while giving him the necessary support.
All the noise is about Ten Hag coming and Poch staying, I’m starting to think it’s very much on.
Stating the obvious a bit but a good sign we want the new guy to get a head start
I don't doubt he might be let go at the end of the season, but I don't see the point of sacking him yet. PSG are still going to win Ligue 1, and I don't see Zidane agreeing to join mid season, free league title aside.
LVG tried to tell us De Gea can be a problem while doing great at shot stopping. His style can invite a lot of pressure.
We often see great passes in behind swept up by keepers out of their area but with us it rarely happens. Many of our own through balls have been thwarted by the oppositions keepers.

He shouldn’t be the first one to go in a clear out, which is what the Twitter brigade would like everyone to believe. A replacement GK should be down the list in a rebuild.
Our defensive frailties stem from our poor defensive players first and foremost. We won a title with Dave in goals. Get players who can do their jobs adequately in front of him and we can be successful again.
He may need replaced one day under a manager like Ten hag, but that should come when he is the clear weak link of this side, something which is not the case at the moment.
Yeah DDG distribution and inability with the ball at his feet is an issue, however it's well below any of DM,ST,RW,RB,CM,CB,
A manager like Ten Hag might look to get De Gea replaced sooner rather than later, similar to when Pep went to City.
Well if he gets the job then have gotta fully back big decisions like that
He's one of about 9 who need replacing to be fair.
Absolutely, really big summer ahead for whoever gets the job. I think by the end of it many of us won’t be happy and will still be thinking there are plenty that need replacing, hard to change it too much over one summer.
Depends on who the manager is. Ten Hag likes to build up play from the back and of course that starts with the keeper as the anchor, so if its him then I'd imagine he'd want to prioritise the GK position as an upgrade. The other positions are definitely concerns (arguably bigger ones), but going by the assumption he will be given time to build the team he wants, I'd imagine getting them accustomed to playing from the back would be something he wants to ingrain early on, meaning De Gea would likely be one of his first casualties.
If it's absolute maximum of 4 signings then for me it has to be
DM
ST (ability to play wide on right too)
RB
creative CM (when Pogba leaves)
Yes there is an issue for a left footed RW and clearly Varane needs a better partner, however a DM will help provide solidity
Currently watching PSG lose 3-0 and look absolutely hopeless yet again.
I really hope based on recent reports our board are lively to this, ETH should be the one.

Yeah hopefully this has killed off his hopes
Monaco - PSG 3-0, I really, REALLY hope that they won't sack Pochettino today and we announce him tomorrow/next week 
Abit of trivia.
I still get the feeling most of our board prefer Poch.
Feyenoord winning 1-0. Caught Ajax on the counter.
Sack them for such crazy views
I think most aren't saying that. It's just worth pointing out. If we are thinking of the analyst bubble on twitter, they have just as much of an issue with AWB, McTominay and Ronaldo as they do with de Gea.
He's contributing to our defensive frailties though. And the last time we won the league with him was almost 10 years ago. Things change.
PSG under Poch are finished
They'll still win the league but my goodness do that team look awful in games in spite of the all star roster.
