Pep Guardiola is my idol
I’d prefer a wwe stone cold Steve Austin style announcement. Glass shatters, this son of a b walks in, gives a stunner to Rashford, Lingard and Pogba, throws a couple of middle fingers in, Ralf throws him a cold beer and they both drink half the can while letting the other half just go to waste all over their faces
2 things i've just discovered about ETH, after reading his wikipedia..
1) Me and him share a birthday
2) Apparently he scored 150 goals in 336 appearances.. as a center back...?!
That cannot be right.
Either way. Sign him.

Can't wait until the first reports of players being 'left confused with tactical instructions' and complaining about the lack of chips in the canteen
I cant wait for our fans to ponce of him and defend the players.
Tenure and leverage. He's the longest serving La Liga coach, and Atletico know he'd have his pick of top clubs if he were to leave.How come he's paid more than Guardiola and Klopp.
Probably because he's the longest tenured manager in Europe and he's won as many leagues as Klopp and been to more UCL finals than Pep over the past decade.How come he's paid more than Guardiola and Klopp.
He's the reason Atletico broke up the longstanding duopoly in Spain, basically their version of Fergie and Wenger so he's being paid as such.
lt's also why it's ridiculous to think that he would ever leave the legacy he's built there for a Premier League club. The only places I could see him possibly managing besides Atletico are places near and dear to his heart like Inter, Lazio or back home in Argentina
Also the one manager to bring success to Atletico in a very very long time I believe?
Yep, like the post above mentions, he essentially broke the Real-Barca stranglehold over the league and had them winning leagues and being a consistent contender in the CL late stages. His football is shite but I doubt the club nor the fans care considering where he's taken them over the last decade or so.
Simeone definitely deserves a great salary, he made Atletico relevant again after many years.
Saying that though, I wouldn't want him here.

If ETH can achieve 70% possession against Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal with players like Lingaard, Rashford, Timhthy Fosu-Mensah, Guillermo Varela, Paddy McNair, Tyler Blackett, Andreas Pereira and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson just like LVG, then I will believe his ceiling is higher and has the "new" thinking and ideas.
Never happened anything close to that.

Noticed that too.
He's got 60 goals in 54 appearances for De Graafschap.
(It's obviously not legit - though how you can feck up that badly is beyond me, perhaps someone has done it on purpose. Either that or they've mixed up his record with another player's).
PSG would've definitely had a willing mark if Woodward was still around
I'm 90% sure we're going to hire Rafa Benitez.
Knowing how cheap we are this is all sounding very positive that the bald one is coming.
Come on, start talking facts
Believe in the Pep Guardiola is my idol.
ETH we trust.
ETH we trust.
I love how spending 1.3bn in 9 years on transfers, having the highest wage bill on the planet and generally tossing millions down the toilet year after year vastly overpaying everyone at the club translates as being “cheap”.
That's true. Happy he is aware of that.
Now please don’t underestimate how shit our squad is.

He had 90% possession on average... Also, consumed the opposition with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse.
"He realized PL needs players with power and speed so he bought them" wow really? That's as nothing of a quote as it can get.
Like how psg are wanting us to get pochettino so we’ll have to pay them and it saves them money from paying of poch by sacking him, thought they was meant to be the richest club in the world? Haggling over a manager they obviously want to get rid of but won’t because of money. If we get ten Hag it will probably only be 5m or less compensation for Ajax and we have a good relationship with them. Especially with them having VDS. I hate waiting and wish we’d announce something already. I hope everyone’s not disappointed and we get someone instead of ten Hag.
Ten Hag or Enrique are the only 2 managers we should be looking at and I think there the only 2 that the fans would be happy with. Any one els will be a disappointment and failure.

Dunno if I'm blind but it doesn't say anything about possession on there?
Where is 70% possession stat against top teams that you mentioned?
Not sure why are you posting this btw. He had a great record in his first season against top 6 teams, but even that took a dip in the following season and he couldn't built upon a relatively solid first year.
It is quite obvious why he was more successful against better teams. All other teams were happy to let our CB's pass to each other the whole game and he couldn't find a way to break them if they had 10 players behind the ball playing on the counter.
I think these poch rumours are completely driven by media and french journalists to create a narrative that united is desperate for appointing poch but in reality nothing happened , not even an informal approach.
Even the story of players, SAF likes poch are BS i believe. Some did this purposely to keep us in bad shape since poch wouldn’t be a success here which’s obvious.
Having said that, there’s too much smoke about ETH and looks like we made an informal offer and some communication happened with his camp. You can sense that by the looks of his responses.
I don’t think poch is a bad manager but the united task is too big for him.
United are close to becoming proud new members of the fraternity
Look it's Pep and a manager that will win the CL with a PL team.

The problem is the quality of players in the team. No one can create chance in that team. There is no KDB, no Odegaard, no Xavi/Iniesta there. Anyway it is history.
So.. appoint one then? Like if you don't know who the manager should be after months of having an interim then the club is still as poorly run as we all thought
