The scoop is that we’ve started a dialogue with him. The story as a whole is he has interest in him and he hasn’t made a decision. How else should it be reported?
Who replaces Ten Hag?

We’re being linked to so many now it Would be good to get a poll going on the site to see what people would prefer (unless I’ve missed it). It would also give ineos a helping hand in their decision 
ten hag
Frank
Potter
Mckenna
Southgate
Tuchel

I doubt United will bother now he's signed an extension, would cost a fortune to get him now which we can't afford, and I doubt Emery would've bothered signing it if he knew there was a chance of the United job.
I was more thinking why would he want to walk into the shit show that we are now. He's doing very well at Villa.
That is a problem. We have a massive rebuilding job to do still, with not nearly enough players moved on last summer.
Me neither, too small a hill
Of course it’s impossible to know until we see them here. I just think it’s even harder to stay in the Prem than getting there, especially more than two seasons. And Brentford didn’t even have a large budget in the Championship if I remember correctly so getting them to playoff finals two years in a row is also some achievement.
He was academy director at City as well, so will have a good insight on how things run properly
People go on about Iraola, yet was he that much of an improvement over Gary O'Neil who finished two points behind him this season?
Tuchel keen on the United job.
surely he wont stay at a club where the directors take shots at him every other week
In terms of expected points they were 20th last season. About 10th now.

If they do make a change, I think it will be Potter or someone unexpected. Berrada might have some La Liga/Spanish options.
I'm starting to think that he's around 65-70% likely to stay.
We are very tight lipped at the minute. I wouldn’t expect Ineos to give any clues of who’s leading runner If that’s ETH or a McKenna.
They'll wait few years before going for McKenna probably. Will be interesting to see how Carrick develops as he's had 2 solid seasons at Middlesbrough as well.
Tuchel definitely staying at Bayern, no Amorim or de Zerbi links so I think it'll be either ten Hag staying or Potter coming in.
Interesting quote from Ornstein.
This news is a bit more encouraging, the links to the likes of Southgate and Potter might just be the usual media driven bollocks to fill papers.
Aye I think that's what it is. Southgate doesn't make sense in the first place because his England future is up in the air and he won't decide his future until after the Euros. That could be mid July. There's no way we would wait that long to appoint a head coach.
Good, stay where you are because we deserve more
Why do Journo’s even ask questions like this? I mean what are they expecting managers to say… “oh I hate it here and can’t wait to jump ship”. They’re always going to give a generic answer of yes, I’m very happy here and only focused on whichever club they’re currently at.
Just listening to the segment and the reasons he stats are that Southgate is concentrating on England and no meaningful discussions have or could take place until after the Euros.
References Potter and the Chelsea perception.
Mention of Tuchel's future being a bit up in the air at Bayern and United might not be looking for a big name at the moment.
It was all a bit vague as Ornstein as he doesn't really know who is top of the list. I think the point is that it's not a forgone conclusion.
With Tuchel now probably staying, I don't think there's a single candidate out there I find appealing.
Probably better just sticking with Ten Hag and giving him one last season, rather than rushing a choice which could just set us back another 3-year cycle.
Motta, Inzaghi, Amorim, Nagelsmann, even McKenna, all become more appealing/possible options after one more season (assuming they succeed).

Well then there's not many names left. McKenna and Amorim (there have been no links with him) left. Maybe they'll just go with McKenna if we lose the cup final. It shouldn't depend on one game but that one game is a cup final and in a way win or loss can set the mood for next season. Losing Fa Cup final to Chelsea in 2018 and EL final in 2021 surely didn't help to Mourinho/Ole as July and August approached.
Hoeness and Motta might be names to watch out for if this is the case. Kieran McKenna obviously fits as well but that just all feels too soon.
As with my previous post, a lot of these younger managers probably become more intriguing as options if they get another season. Same if Nagelsmann taps out after the Euros. And tbh, everything Ornstein is reporting doesn't really make it sound like a manager change is the plan as it stands.
Damn, onto Ange.
One guy that we were kinda linked with before Ten Hag that has kept doing well… Paulo Fonseca.
He’d probably get the most out of Bruno, too.

You keep reading different things for the same folks. I swear the other day I read that he fell out at Chelsea as he wanted to take the structure to take care of everything else while he concentrates on the coaching. This makes it sounds like he would want to have a say in more things than coaching. Which one is true?
I think mostly likely it will McKenna now.
ETH is staying. That much is clear.
I'm glad about that, Tuchel would likely have signed an extension with Bayern before we sacked ten Hag anyway. Southgate is a massive no and Potter needs a team where he'll get time with no pressure, as we haven't made the CL then the next manager will be under pressure to deliver top 4 next season.
No, it's not.
I'm confident that Ten Hag will stay and rightly so imo.
I want to see what he can achieve with a proper structure to support him.

He'll do feck all and be sacked by Christmas with us writing off another season.
It’s pretty obvious the decision has already been made a long time ago. If we are to go with the hints by the muppetiers podcast, the ownership are big admirers of McKenna and a lot of the previous board memebers who may still be present from his time here before.
Sir Jim has given many clues with regards to Arteta even though those who hang onto ETH believe it was support for him. How I don’t know considering ETH’s age he’s hardly a young prospering manager who will benefit from time and patience.
We shall see but I’m convinced McKenna has been front runner from the beginning and his Ipswich promotion has just improved his chances.

This "Structure" has become the holy grail. I wonder why teams with "structures" ever fire managers when it is supposed to take care of everything.
Btw, what the feck does 'Game Model' mean? A new word seems to have entered the Cafe;s lexicon since INEOS took charge. Apparently, they are going to tell a manager a style of play and that manager like a puppet is going to start implementing that. Everything seems like a breeze with this new "structure"
