Entitled nonsense, look at where United is in the table! In no universe right now is Pochettino beneath Manchester United, our last manager was Ole Solskjær for god’s sake.
Will there be a demonstration against the Glazers if Pochettino is appointed United manager?
- Thread starter Frank Grimes
- Start date
I wouldn't be excited by the appointment but he'd still be our best post SAF appointment by a wide margin.
Is there an element of shiny new toy syndrome with ten Hag? I get the impression a lot of united fans see Pochettino as "sloppy seconds" because of his Spurs tenure.
Sure, in front of the Megastore queuing up for a new shiny with his name if our top reds are anything to go by.
Then we'll get an email that MUST is upset the Glazers ghosted them for their bi-monthly date.

No it’s that most Utd fans know exactly what to expect from Poch. It’s safely top 5 top 6 football with some cup runs. A more stable version of what we currently have but absolutely nothing exciting, or likely to challenge the status quo. It’s Glazer 101.
The Glazers want ten Hag and Fergie and Fletcher want Pochettino though according to reports. How could ten Hag defy the Glazer ownership in a way that Pochettino can't should he be appointed?
I want ETH but we should stop acting as if Poch is some shit manager. He could very well do well here.
Id laugh so hard at idiotic fans wanting to protest Poch
I voted for ten Hag as I think he would embody a system rather than his specific traits as a manager.
The only negative I do have about Poch is whether he's got the energy after what must have been a draining last few years!
Just want us onwards and upwards!

This place is going to be toxic as hell next season, no matter who gets the job. I found the Martial FC times extremely strange but the desperation of some people to have certain people get the managers job is just plain weird. Obviously we all probably have our favourites but the lengths some go to in order to downplay the other managers/spin everything as a huge plus for their favourite, is something I've not seen before and a new low for this place.
ETH is a crypto sounding abbreviation. Surely that alone would improve his marketability which seems to be the only end goal for our board.
Poch doesn't have the same ring to it

They should. He will flop here. And badly.
Going by posts I expect there to be mass suicides and the cafe will be a lot quieter.
Either that or there will be constant overly dramatic threads every time we concede a throw in calling for Poch's head

If supporters can give a strong support during Moyes time, it is no difference for Poch. Just give the guy a chance before calling his head.
Is this RAWK?
No, why would there be?
Neither option is great. One only succeeded in the farmer's league were even VDB and Depay looked unbeatable there. Meanwhile Pochettino has yet to win a major honour. Its not as if we're picking our choice between Pep, prime Ancelotti and prime Hitzfeld here. In my opinion we should be looking elsewhere tbh. Do we need an experienced Sporting director? Is our DOF, our technical director and our scouting net good enough? Cause let's face it. These are the guys who keep on signing the obvious signings on silly money. They are also the same guys who didn't back Rangnick in January, who waited till the very end to sack a clueless Ole and who hasn't yet chosen a new manager despite we're nearly in April and had months to work on sorting this issue. If we don't sort that then I can't see either manager succeeding.
This is it for me. I feel like we already know Poch’s ceiling and unless things fall very kindly for us, we’re not winning the league under him. I just don’t see it. Partnered with his football which isn’t particularly great the appeal is just not there.
Not at all. It's not like he is beneath us is it? There might be murmurings amongst certain folk, but Poch is hardly an appointment that will stir anything like that sort of reaction.
Gerrard, Allardyce, Warnock maybe....but not an appointment like Poch.

Would this have something to do with the Falklands? How damaging would this be to diplomacy?
Wow, I wonder why some fans from other clubs think United fans act so entitled. The overhyping of ETH and belittling of Poch is baffling. Sure, many have a legit reason to think ETH is a potentially better appointment. But acting as if Poch is some lower league manager, while ETH is the new Messiah who will save the club is… delusional.
The whole argument sounds like a Reddit echo chamber, where people in some subreddit think their opinion is shared by the rest of the world, and think them typing some sentences on a forum will have major real world impact. Wake up, Poch is well respected among most players and fans. So no, even if he is appointed, there will be no revolts and revolutions.

Iv seen a few 'fans' on here claim that if Poch is hired then they will 'be done' with United. Might be quite good to purge some of our fanbase. Something of a bonus if we end up with Poch, unfortunately I don't believe them, they would just be on twitter and here whinging like the spoilt little brats they are getting Poch out trending after every little hiccup and complaing that Poch pouts to much or something.
There isn't alot to choose between ETH and Poch in all honesty, recency bias is what gives ETH the supposed upper hand but that dosent gaurentee success or failure, none of us can see into the future they probably both have as good a chance as the other of succeeding here weather they will or not only time will tell.

It’s just all these bloody Ole inners trying to release their built up tension from being so wrong about a manager.
Let them have their moment…. They hardly get much things right. I mean we hired a manager from a Z league who’s Prem Experience…..
The fan base didn’t want to riot then. But now they want to riot. What a bunch of Will Smith’s

There's no shades of grey on this forum. Everything is THE BEST THING EVER! or ABSOLUTELY feckING SHIT! Generally the best things ever are things that haven't actually happened yet and can be hyped.
It's the same people posting the same opinions over and over and because they're just repeating the same thing, the level of hyperbole has to be increased each time until you reach these absolutely ridiculous takes that become normalised by the other posters doing the same thing. I've logged on however many times since the last United game and almost every time the Rashford thread has been at the top. Above anything else, if there's one footballer whose actions have shown him to be a great human being, it's Rashford. So what if he's off form or may or may not be unhappy at the club, or was once rude to a fan? He's responsible for helping tens of thousands of families in poverty. And yet on here, it's constant hatred. One 'fan' posted how he hoped someone knocked his teeth out. feck me.
Same with Maguire. He's had a crap season overall but he gets abuse regardless of performance. Even when he plays well, or just perfectly ok, he still gets abuse. Someone posted a video of his miscontrolling of a pass in training and that was another page or two of abuse. I'm sure no other footballer ever makes a minor mistake in training. But it suits the narrative and it's a good excuse to pile on the hatred from the types that thrive on negativity. And on it goes.
It's the same with ETH. I bet a large chunk of those saying he's the only choice didn't even know who he was when the thread was started. The circlejerk has been in progress for months now and the hyperbole increased to the point where he's now the most perfect manager the world has ever seen with no flaws whatsoever. Of course, people can't post any negatives about him because they don't actually know enough about him. But they do know about Poch, they've actually seen him first hand, seen him do well at times and seen him fail at others and it's not this mythical land of milk and honey like it is with ETH. And because Poch isn't ETH, his flaws must be exaggerated until he becomes the managerial equivalent of Neil Warnock.
If ETH joins, give it a few poor games and many of the ones that were hyping him up to the heavens will be saying he's shit.
This is a hilarious post. We have literally put up with an utter shambles of a club for the past decade and for 99% the fans have shut up and watched the crap football and accepted the lack of direction. But no, getting a good manager will be the straw that broke the camels back
Most don't want Pochettino. His support is not even 5% on the next manager poll on this site. I'm not advocating a demonstration as I believe Pochettino is a viable option but a lot of people think he is not good enough. Probably has an echo chamber element to it as some other poster suggested. Personally I think whoever gets it deserves respect from the fans and hopefully he can turn us around.This is a hilarious post.

What I don’t get is people saying Pochettino didn’t win the league and just completely leaving out the fact he had no money for transfers for two straight windows at a key point in their development. When before that he was level with Liverpool and Klopp. Then Liverpool bought Alisson and Van Dijk and the rest is history. And getting to the CL final with Spurs when they have had one quarter final otherwise and had barely ever even qualified for the competition in their entire history.
As for PSG, it’s an absolute shit show of a club set up and do you really think Ten Hag would have done better with Neymar and Messi not pressing? Poch has football ideas too and Ten Hag’s football ideals would have been put aside for commercial in the same way.

International Breaks really bring out gems of threads.
What if Ten Hag decides he prefers Ajax, and is ruled out? We still protest because ETH won a few polls online?

My concern with Poch, who at one point I wanted, is that at PSG they seem to be a lot like we are now. Less than the sum of their parts. Also he’s been in the premier league and I just don’t see him having the potential to take us above City and Liverpool, whilst I think he would get us top four every year after year one. With ETH it’s more unknown but there’s something about that Ajax team on that budget competing in the CL that makes me think that he could well be the next big thing.
I’m done with managers who won’t make us better than the sum of our parts.

He would have significantly more money than he had at Spurs and he finished ahead of Klopp and Pep before with far less money. Spurs were way above the sum of their parts, they went from being a CL team to a Europa League team after he left.
Seriously? There are United fans on here that will stop supporting of Poch gets hired?
That is mental and shows just how toxic some of our fans have become
You'd honestly think Pochettino was Rafa Benitez or Sam Allardyce the way some people are portraying him.
Rafa Benitez has mainly been a superior manager.
No. But there will be flowers and love letters in front of Pochettino's house when he finally moved to Manchester, all from Amadeus.
Yeah that was an unfortunate comparison considering Benitez has won a handful of honours - La Liga, champions league, europa league, a host of domestic trophies. Poch's CV doesn't compare.
His Valencia team is one of the first memory I have of an underdog actually matching big clubs for a while. From memory it was a well drilled and entertaining team. And to be honest outside of the last couple of years, I also liked his Liverpool teams.
Edit: I do remember that Hector Cuper was also doing a great job but things felt different under Benitez.
What the actual feck is this thread. Poch is a good coach, it's not like we're hiring Darren Fletcher or some guy with zero experience.
The most damning thing you can say about Poch is that the players want him. That's a red flag right there.
Doesn’t matter who the manager is if the owners decide to saddle him with Rashford and Pogba on new contracts for example? What’s the point. They should just manage the team themselves or let the players manage. Manager without power over players means feck all
