Not followed this saga very close, but i can't really think of many top managers that are available now.
Maybe Sarri if he doesn't go to Chelsea? Not that i know much about him either, but he seems to be the hipster choice these days.

Just give it to Cristiano
Cristiano the manager would come to a point where he realizes he has to sell Cristiano the player for big cash. He will be too good for retirement yet so Cristiano the player has to play in another club and Cristiano the manager can continue managing Real

Make it happen

Kane walks into the Madrid side with a blind fold on. And Poch, well, he is Madrid's no 1 target so....



The challenge at Spurs is far greater, get real. If Poch was to win the league at Spurs he'd go down in history as arguably one of their top 3 greatest ever managers, if he was to win any major trophy, he'll be remembered for ever. If he creates sustained success, he creates a legacy. Spurs are one of 6 sides in the PL that try to win the league every season. At Madrid, even if he won the CL, he would be no more than a fart in the wind. At Madrid, there are only 3 sides who can ever win the league, even in default setting, you finish top 3. The challenges are not comparable. Even medicore managers can take over at Madrid and win trophies. At Spurs, mediocre managers will get found out very quickly.



If the challenge at Spurs to win trophies is greater than Madrid, which it is right? You can't even argue that point. How is it lacking ambition to choose to stay in a job where it is HARDER to win trophies? Your post isn't logical. It is a sign of Poch's ambition that he wishes to remain at Spurs to try and win major trophies. Zidane is certainly not a great manager, I can guarantee he will likely do absolutely nothing in his career as a manger post Madrid. He isn't a great coach. Yet he's won 3 CLs. That is Madrid for you. Run of the mill managers can take over and win trophies like no tomorrow. Bringing Bale on with half an hour of a CL final doesn't make you a tactical genius ffs. He should have started.




I can smell the disappointment from United fans on here. AT first, a few days ago, when Poch was confirmed as Madrid's top target, nobody could contain their glee. "Ahaha, Poch will leave Spurs, gutted" etc etc etc. Oh wait, what's this? Poch has turned down Madrid because he WANTS TO STAY AT SPURS. Well it must be because he lacks ambition, yes that's it. How predictable. Just maybe it's because he thinks the challenge at Spurs and the job he has it fantastic at Spurs and he wants to see it through?! Maybe it's because he has complete control at Spurs and doesn't want to be Perez's bitch?!
This has to be the most hilarious post I've ever read. Possibly the worst.

So, basically you're saying the job at Spurs is more enticing for a manager because he has a chance to create a legacy, than to manage at Real Madrid? I've heard some batsh!t, ludicrous waffle in my time, but this takes the biscuit.

And yeah, you're right. Zidane is a terrible coach / manager. Winning 3 CL's is simple. Sure, Pep did it all the time with his incredible once-in-a-lifetime Barca side ... oh, no, he didn't. But sure, he won it back to back at least ... oh, hang on, nope.

Virtually all of your posts drip with derision and a quite inflated view of United's place in the current scheme of things.

Are United really any closer than Spurs to winning the next league title or the Champions League? No. And yet you've spent a fortune since Fergie retired. So what's your convenient excuse?

Your desperation to claim United as still "one of the big boys" shines through, as ever. But these days, on the football pitch, there is no equal-par footing between United and the likes of Barca, Real Madrid, Juventus, Bayern and City. So why don't you climb down from your high horse and face this truth squarely in the face?
Yes. United are closer, better players, better infrastructure, better league position, and I for one am pretty confident United will win both of those trophies again before Spurs do.

[Eduardo Inda] Real Madrid have enquired about Mourinho's situation at #mufc. They have been in contact with his representatives.

The "better league position" is based just on one season (rather than the many seasons since Fergie retired). And United having better players is questionable to say the least.

And if by infrastructure you mean that United have a better training centre and stadium going into next season, then I'll just leave that one hanging there …

But all this has nothing to do with the subject of RM's next manager.

So you want to average out for the last 20 years? Or you want to selectively pick seasons where you finished ahead of us?

The most previous season counts the most, since that is the reflection of the current incarnation of the team.

It’s funny.. Spurs are probably just about «maxed out» in terms of what they can achieve while United are on the up after seriously underperforming for some years.

Can you just threadban Glaston or something?
20 of the 28 pages in this thread are probably people arguing with him. Its the same arguments and the same posts that have been going on for like 5 years, its just fecking boring.

So according to the media the biggest coaching job in football was offered to every half-decent manager out there and they all said no.
Even with the circumstances making it very tricky for whoever takes over, it's impossinle to believe that all of them are affraid of the challenge.

Real are coming to us because there's feck all options out there, what will we do if he goes?
Responses like that are better left alone. United would be utterly fecked if Mourinho just decided «nah I’m going to Real»

Its a no win situation. If they try and sell any vaguely popular players then it causes drama and gets them fired. If they dont sell any then they continue to slide down the table and get fired.
You should pay a nobody a massive pile of money to come in, get rid of whoever needs to be moved on and freshen the squad up. Whoever does it will be out before the end of the season. Or get Benitez who's unpopular regardless on a year long contract

I was waiting for Glaston to do this. For 3 years whenever United fans said they were better than Spurs, he said look at the table.

Now United finished above them, he says average it out for the last 5 years.

In 2 years, if we finish above Tottenham both times, we will finally be better than them again guys. It's simple, really.

Maybe we can just take into account trophy hauls over the last 13 months? Or Spurs trophy haul over the last 15 years and United's over the last 3 weeks. Who's won more? Ah, Spurs. They'rrreeeee great.

United finished ahead of Spurs twice in the last 4 seasons.

Also we have won 3 cups.

Also we have equalled Spurs best league finish in the last 58 years last season.



Hope this helps.

He is not going to go. What’s there for him? Getting sacked after another 1-2 seasons.

Here he has the complete backing of the club and a huge transfer chest to build his team.

I know I just find it baffling that someone could get excited at the prospect, especially when it means us most likely being worse off.

I don't think this is about fear, it's about the timing.

When people see a football professional joining a club it's not rare that he's been contacted months before the move to discuss all the conditions. In the case of coaches this is even more necessary because some extra planning is needed ahead of the signing to configure the final squad. Zidane has chosen a very bad moment to quit without warning about it.

In whatever case I will take whatever the media says with a pinch of salt. They are perfectly capable of saying one thing one day and the whole opposite the day after.

You can have the shiniest new stadium and training ground, it means feck all when you compare Manchester United and Spurs, it's like you are comparing a FIAT to a Ferrari.

Nobody outside England gives a feck about Spurs really, United on the other side can play at Old Trafford for the next 30 years, and players will choose United over Spurs 9 times of 10. Which of course reflects on team building and future success.

He will decline, he absolutely hated it there.

If he does the unexpected and wants to go, it could be a blessing in disguise.

A chance to play better football, if Utd gets someone like Sarri or Jardim.

That’s the thing this arrogant lunatic doesn’t understand. Undermining the huge heritage and advantage built by United over the last 20 tears, it’s not something that vanishes in a matter of years - and it’s not something you can copy in a few years. Spurs have Kane, that’s what’s keeping them alive, let’s see how long he is willing to mess up his career by being «loyal».

We can have a poor transitional season or two, just like Barcelona and Real Madrid, but they’ll always be back. Tottenham will probably butt against this glass ceiling until they slip back to being mid-table, they really had their magical chance and blew it when Leicester won the league. They can do a City of course, but every team in England can strike gold like that if they’re lucky.

In terms of recruitment, it’s pretty obvious Spurs don’t have much muscle or pull in the market - nobody cares about a training ground or stadium. A player would probably pick Arsenal or Chelsea based on recent history still, even though they’re not in the CL. I actually like Tottenham, but my god I hope they fail so bad based solely on this person ruining the internet for everyone else.

I would not believe all the negatives. With Pochettino the club spoke in February and all the sources agree that he would be delighted.
I would say that there has been a contact with many before consider seriously who they want. That they take so long with it makes me think that the departure of Zidane was not as thoughtful as It's said

That season with Mourinho would be one big car crash.

Cristiano benched for Bale, Benzema in the stands, Ramos denounced as the mole in the dressing room, Marcelo replaced with Nacho in big games and Kroos thrown under the bus because he doesn't run enough:lol: 30 points behind Barca come christmas

:lol: and bringing Khediras.when I was younger I loved that profile so hard. As a child I adored Fabio Capello, in 96/97 and I wish it will be a softer profile.

Just to see Glaston's reaction I assume? ;)
I'm not usually one for caring about another teams lows more than I do my teams highs.
But dealing with hypocrites has a way of bringing it out of me.
