Pochettino havent been linked with Madrid for a good while now. And I can guarantee you if we dont hire him neither Madrid, City or some other big club wont go for him.

Pochettino's teams playing attractive football is a bit of a myth. Also experience in the PL. Klopp wasnt experienced in PL and look how that turned out.
I don't know much about Erik Ten Hag but I would never describe Pochetinno's football as attractive it's more functional and dependent on forcing opponents into mistakes by pressing and causing turnovers rather than creating chances organically while being patient on the ball ,that's why his teams can sometime look clueless and bereft of ideas when facing teams of equal standing or just well organised defences .
Is it even the worse United side of the last 40 years.
It's a Depressing season in how its went, but I'm not sure statistically its the worse ever in last 40 years
He was literally linked before the CL tie with Madrid.
The point about experience is a bit strange, all managers didn't had PL experience at some point but only few of the successful ones have that much experience in England without a trophy. And while people mention SAF as an example, even if we ignore his previous successes before winning the PL, SAF won with United the Cup winners cup, the FA cup and the league cup.
No, it's not the worse. The worse would be 86-87?
Couple them van gaal and Jose teams where worse on paper as well and all round as well I reckon. Guess have to wait to end of season to be completely accurate
The poster won’t even be 40
Than who? ETH? I really don’t believe so. I don’t get the hype for Poch’s football and his record in big games is awful and so far away from what we should expect from a Utd manager.
We should steer clear of Poch. seems the only reason some pundits, and ex-players, like him for the job is that he has PL experience. ETH in the CL has been excellent, and he is the type of manager we need IMO.
Appointing him, given the reports that he is demanding control over transfers, would be a good indication that the club is determined to move in the right direction.

The next bit of official news that I am expecting is -
"Ten Hag to leave Ajax at end of season"

Oh feck off
Yeah but that line is being thrown around all the time. Same goes with players, not PL proven..
They’re trying to spin this into an exciting race but I really think Haggy has the job.
Read the Athletic article just now,
From the comments in that article ( & even here ) it seems younger generation fans want ETH, while the older generation lean on Poch. Why so?

Was he?
Sounds like that to me too.
People eh? It was such a weird post.
It seems like the club is letting it be known that we (the club) all want ten Hag, but there's no front runner.
That's Romano making things up to pretend ITK ,
Why would Ten Hag demand control over transfers when he doesn't have much experience of doing that and how is that in anyway step in the right direction it's quite the opposite we need to move away from giving too much powers to managers when it comes to recruitment .
I'm not sure I believe he is demanding that but that is not a move in the right direction. The manager having too much control over transfers is one of the things that got us into this mess.
Yeah there are some big alarming signs why to avoid him in a big loop.
I got a bit wary when I was reading he talks absolute pony about bad energy and lemons.
Mauricio Pochettino was back talking about his lemons this week: the ones that he has in a bowl on his office desk at Tottenham Hotspur’s training ground in Enfield to absorb negative vibes. As he explained on talkSPORT: “Some people arrive with bad energy. The energy is going to the lemon not to myself.”
He went on to explain that he normally changed his lemons every ten days but sometimes more regularly if they seemed to be going off. “Maybe the pain of the people,” he said. And perhaps the most remarkable thing was not the story itself but that, in a sporting realm not exactly known for being open-minded to non-conformity, there was no queue to poke fun at the manager as an eccentric.
I guess that was phrased rather wrongly on my part. I understood the crux of it was that a structure where football people are making football decisions, not him having sole control.
What the...
Oh well in that case I agree.
I hope that whomever the next manager is, that they look to work with Skinner, for a closer bond between the two first teams, to see a better working relationships between the players, as it would be excellent to see men's players coming to LSV to watch the women play, as the women have previously been to Old Trafford to watch the men play.
A true one club mentality, working together, would be excellent, both sets of players, and staff learning off of each other.
If the timing is right, why not have mixed training session here and there?
Either way, it will be good, if possible to see the new men's manager having a good working relationship with the women's manager Skinner.

For the life of me I can't figure out this cult of Pochettino by the pundits and media. The man has been managing for a decade and this year will be his first "major" trophy - Ligue 1 with PSG. That's it. Every other time he has fallen short. His record against top teams is dreadful. When he was sacked by Spurs, they were awful. He isn't in any way, shape, or form more "proven" than Ten Hag. But the way they talk about him you'd think he is a Mourinho regen or something. It's bizarre. "I don't know the other candidate well" or "He is PL proven" are absolute non-arguments.
I'm starting to have conspiracy theories creeping up in my mind, that they have been paid to support him so it makes his eventual appointment more palatable. Or something.

I think that Ten Hag is probably somewhat overrated in here and Pochettino is somewhat underrated. The truth is that they're probably not that far away from each other and both would significantly improve us.
I want Ten Hag as I think it'd be something new and fresh and mainly because if Poch comes in, he'll be fighting an uphill battle straight away because some have already decided that he's useless. I find the condemnation of ex pro's (who know much more than the every day fan) as soon as they mention Poch being their preferred choice bizarre though

No front runner yet? How fecking long are we going to drag this thing out? I know the seasons still going on but it’s easy enough to agree a deal behind the scenes and announce it at a later date. Surely after the first round of interviews they’d have a favourite.
He has been though, you don't attract interest from the clubs he has without having something. How can you possibly 'Guarentee' that? in fact i am almost certain that if we don't hire him he'll get a very good job.
Ten Hag is my choice, think he plays a brand of football that we should be playing, but The painting of Pochettino that he is a horrific choice that will set us back years is laughable.
The bad vibes at United he would need a truck load of lemons.
So all our managers since SAF have been infected by bad vibes.What the feck
When life gives you Rashford, make a bowl of lemons
Just think all we needed to do was pop to Asda for a bag of lemons not spend millions on players.
