Why do some spell it with double 'a'
Would you take Conte at United?

Madness rather thinking that hiring Conte just because he has the best available cv and is better cv than the current manager without a care for whether he suits the club, nor the squad, nor can build on what the previous manager has done, instituting a change in direction again like we are on a round about, isn't the exact same thing that got LVG and Mourinho hired in the first place and why they both failed.
misspelling in my case
Now? Sure why not.
Enrique will 100% not give up on Spain only just 12 months out from a World Cup.
Put it this way? Would you like to go back to the starting line whilst others are on their third lap of the race?
possibly. It wouldn't hurt to try. Id even gladly let him go to world cup and just have an interim holding fort till then if he was an assured get
Slightly off topic: Why is the "next manager" thread locked?
I'd take Agnes Brown right now and I was Ole in until recently.
I'd take him with the understanding that he's a short term fix.
Edit : I dont think we need an up and coming tactician type manager at the moment, and I don't buy into the "patterns of play" bollox.
We need a manager with experience who can handle egos.
I'd prefer Zidane, but I'd settle for conte.

My preference would have been Ten Hag, or failing him, Zidane. Up until two weeks ago I would have said no to Conte, but if the choices are Ole or Conte I would definitely take Conte. With the players we have, we need a winner in the club now. We can't waste a squad like this pandering to a manager who has no place at a top club.
However he would clearly be someone who's going to be here for about two years, and the club should have an understanding of this.

Can we stop bumping the thread?
I'm not saying we have made countless good decisions under the current manager. We won't really know until we see this collection of players under a different manager.
I think just pining for Conte is lazy thinking just because he's won X trophies if he isn't the right fit. We have to actually get this one right in every department. Accomplishment is of course one aspect.
If Spain are assured of qualification, we can strike a deal for him to come in and give him the summer off given that he has a great team already and he would give whoever is in charge of transfers his list.
Nothing is impossible but we're run by incompetents.
Forget about Conte. I will take even Big Sam now.
So who do we get, in your opinion? I don’t think it’s a case of Conte not being a ‘right fit’, personally. I think he’s a top coach who will definitely make do with what he has — and what we have is a very talented (albeit imbalanced) side.
Honestly, I was DEAD SET against even thinking about him coming here, but I just can't deal anymore, anyone but Ole right now. Well not anyone, but yeah.
Of course he is. The difference is that Jose has not been crucified physically yet though he was crucified by the media a lot.
Watching the way we concede goals, how can you really be against him?
Haha...so it's locked eh? I thought I was theadbanned or something.
I'd take an inflatable Conte doll at this stage
World Cup 2022 is in the winter.
I keep reminding people about this and now I did it myself
.I think it's far enough away that he can still be tempted. People underestimate the allure of this job.
I'd take Zidane first. If not him then fecking Brendan Rodgers.
That's your idea of hiring a manager, or at least your priority but I think they look a lot more detail than that. That's not to say they all have the same priorities or the same objectives beyond the obvious (success on the pitch)
But they should have an idea of the type of individual that's going to work well within the club and develop the relationships necessary, work towards other goals like a better pathway for youth which is important at United, to play the football expected by supporters, to have an aligned method for recruitment and ultimately to produce the results. Now, I could be well off the mark because ultimately I don't know Conte that well and certainly this is the point of interviewing or discussions, but he doesn't seem the most natural alignment.
It's getting somebody that fits best within all of that. Of course it's difficult, it should be, there shouldn't be 25 blokes qualified to be manager of one of the world's best clubs so there aren't lots of names on the tip of my tongue but ten Hag looks to be of the ilk I'd expect while still having some drawbacks to his CV. But we shouldn't rush to hire a manager. If we need to change in the short term because Ole is too far gone to bide our time an experienced caretaker is better than a poor decision.

Question: What about someone like Joachim Löw?
No because he eats boogers
Or capitalise the t, its ten Hag.
We absolutely should. We’re nosediving and this season will be another absolute writeoff if we continue. There’s still plenty of time for a better manager to come in and salvage the season. Chelsea showed just how possible that is with Tuchel not 12 months ago
Rodgers. Wow! Gives me an even worse feeling than when people were hoping for Mourinho back in 2016. Just not good enough. Not even close.
Conte was my first choice in 2016 and in 2018. Now? Really not sure. But he would be a huge upgrade. In my opinion, top three in the world (after Klopp and Pep). Won with Juve after they struggled for years. Took 93 points with Chelsea and won the league at his first try with a rather poor Chelsea-team, competing with Klopp, Pep and Mou at Man Utd (who spent heavily). Then won the league with Inter breaking up Juves domination.
BUT really not sure he would fit.
Zidane is probably a decent option. Ten Hag? I think it is hard to say much based on a spell at Eredivise/Ajax. If we are to go down that route (young and unproven) I would love to see Potter actually.
This and nothing else! Don't want Conte or Allegri near the club ...
Why not Conte?
Ten Haag but with VDS as woodys replacement. That way he can oversee the new coach as he knows him already
I would absolutely love Lucho here. I don’t see it happening though. I also feel like our fanbase is largely allergic to possession, for reasons that I don’t understand.
There's 30 pages of reasons.
@Raoul possible to unlock the Next Manager thread?
Can't believe there's some who are still turning their nose up at Conte. The man is a winner and wouldn't have us conceding comical goals. And those complaining about his style - have you watched us lately under Ole?? At least Conte wins things.
Done
Many thanks!
