His Assistant should be the guy that's with him at Ajax, if they bring in another then I would prefer Rene or RVP, it's been a long long time since Schteeve was at United

THere's something so wonderfully awful brilliantly bleak about the wolly with the brolly coming home.
excellent news .
Sorry I should have clarified. Yeah I think you’re right about the fans but I meant with the team and everything behind the scenes. He’s going to have to get the dressing room onside asap. Otherwise he’s going to have to act rapidly to get the bad apples out quite fast and build his own team. There will be a couple of seasons or more of mediocrity for sure.
Whenever we get what we want it ends up in disaster so I think we should stop this smart thinking and hire Big Sam
So what you’re saying is we should avoid him to save ourselves from his influence down the line
Aside from being Dutch, why would Rene be a serious candidate for assistant manager?
Everything I’ve read said he is bringing the Ajax guy. He wants another with PL/United experience.
We should probably remember that too many Dutch staff will probably end in one big fall out...
none of our players would miss any games due to covid as it doesn’t exist. we could also just refuse to allow any penalties to be taken against us, insisting that the opposition staged any foul play. we’d also go the whole season unbeaten as he would refuse to believe any printed version of the premier league table. he’s a real no brainer.
that could work, until the day you return them anyway.
"Mr Elvis, can you please explain why your Sam Allardyce came back smelling of piss and had a widened exhaust pipe?"
you’d have to make you took pictures of your manager at the kerbside before taking possession to safeguard yourself. allardyce is likely to have suffered that damage whilst trying to sell elvis’s stuff to an undercover reporter.
it would stop clubs hogging all the decent managers long term and allow smaller teams access to an asset that they would never have been able to afford outright. we’d have to be careful that users of our platform didn’t try to disguise barry from accounts and return him instead. can you imagine the nightmare of thinking you’re getting pep returned back to you at the end of his term but under the clothes he’s actually two front ends of ole and van gaal welded together?
I'd take him over Phelan any day
All right I'm excited. Glas if McLaren or Rene will come or both.
The Hag will sort that out, he tolerates no fools and is completely ruthless. He demands his players to play as a team to his will and anybody who dares to step out of line will be off.
Not his biggest fan, far from it, but wish him well.
I’d love McLaren back.
I endorse the appointment of McClaren if that indeed happens. That’s a fairly solid pick in my opinion all things considering.
I think this is where Ralf comes in, and why him, and by extension Fletch, will be important. In their upper management and advisory roles they will go into them with insight into the players and just what is going on with the team, so I don’t think the management will have much siding with the players over the manager at this point.
People talk about Fletch a lot, but he was a winner, and he played in a team full of winners. There’s no way he is looking at the current team and not disgusted by what he’s seeing.
I think the club will, quite rightly, give him the time and backing he needs. I hope I am right.
I'm nervous
I think that's overdoing it.
I think we only need an assistant that know the club and PL, and good communication with ETH. He still needs his personal staffs who know his routine to get thing done. Can't expect a whole new coaching team to get to know each other, and the players.
Not impressed with Rene. For a Dutch, he doesn't seem to subscribe to total football philosophy, let alone the more modern version. He's not a desirable coach now outside of inexperienced Ole's set up. He's not with the club for too long, and he's not based in England. I don't see him any better to connect with the players now than Mike Phelan.
"Mr Elvis, can you please explain why your Sam Allardyce came back smelling of piss and had a widened exhaust pipe?"
hope they took the £5 insurance optionI love this place, so much talk of nepotism, old boys club, too much sentiment, as soon as an old name pops up we're all like "I'd love him to come back"
Not necessarily. He may have come up with Donny's name when Ajax were strapped for cash post-Covid and Edwin asked which of his squad he would miss the least.
Absolutely shattered by this appointment. The board shows again that they haven't the balls to appoint a real man with fire in his belly like Brendan Rodgers
Well we need at least 3 coaches to come in with Ten Hag, we lost that many with Solskajer going.
Rene is an attention to detail man. Van Persie spoke at length about him being his favourite coach. We scored a goal against West Brom I think? Valencia drag back to the edge of the box and Van Persie with a late arrival smashes it home. VP said it looked easy but Rene had them working on it for 2 days in training because he noticed West Brom had a tendency to all go deep in their box when defending.
These are the kind of coaches we need at the club.
Like who? Perisic turned out to have a better career than Martial.
also, if we have sold Martial and Pogba then we would have made 150 millions, if not more. Now we won't even get close to 20 for both.
Jose was right that they were not fit for us. But that's why you need a football director, so you can identify the replacements.
I don't recall Jose having issues with Rashford, who in those days bore no resemblance to the shell of a player we're seeing now.
If he was so unhappy with Pogba, why did he go along with the club spunking a record fee on him?
I think it could be a disaster but I'm just very happy to see us take this risk and try something different and potentially very exciting. I can't wait for the summer and next season.
Remember this is who the majority of redcafe wanted. Similiar to how the majortiy backed Ole. Hopefully, this forum gets it right this time.
Watching Ralf fail at United and ETH not reaching the height of the semi final again, make me skeptical. But, as I stated before, if he gets backed like previous manager, he should do as well as van goal and mourinho. Maybe even better

Fair!
We could have got good money for those at the time, they still had 'potential', now we're stuck with them. Most of players Jose wanted went on to big clubs and have won stuff, ours are on loan and doing shit or leaving on a free. There's not much to revise really, Jose was right.

Schteve was barely here that long to be fair, like 2-3 years between joining mid-Treble season to end of 2000-01 when he went to Boro? He’s hardly part of the old boys club.
Plus I was under the impression him and ETH’s main assistant Mitchell van der Gaag would both be assistant managers, plus Schteve is someone who has worked with ETH at Twente as a huge bonus. A nepotism appointment would be something like throwing Nicky Butt or Phil Neville in there.
I read that he likes having two playmaking CM’s
Wonder what he’ll make of McFred

Great news this! But I can’t help but think it’ll be ‘Repeat and Rinse’. Get those rats out and the board and any new manager might just then stand a chance.
Penny for Pochettino's thoughts right now.
mincemeat.
I share that view also.
I’m surprised we’ve not been quoted as “preparing a bid” yet.
