Mourinho Gone

[VeevaVee]

Because there's a potential for change. To enjoy watching the club again. To not be absolute banter fodder for every scouser under the sun.

I don't like that we're here again but I'm glad it's happened. Worried things might not get better still, but at least there's hope now.

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

Not convinced with Solskjær. Blanc on the otherhand is sounding like the most logical move if he wants a temporary job.

 

[Snafu17]

Can't imagen Ole leaving his current stable job for a 6 month stint at OT. If it's not Wenger or Carrick, then Blanc makes some sense.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

What about Meulensteen as temp trainer working with Carrick and co?

At least there would be some training

Edit: As a side note: wasn't Evra spotted sat next to Woody for a few games during November?

 

[Samid]

With Emily Atack as his number 2?

She already has her own chant at OT:

Atack,
Atack,
Atack, Atack, Atack

 

[Foxbatt]

What's moyshie up to these days?

Please please do not go there again. With Sky talking about Moyes Ed may just may think it is a brilliant idea.

 

[Keyser]

Would Blanc come in as interim and then move into a DOF role? Could cover both bases

 

[DizeeGorilla20]

Pity, he chose his own demise, with pathetic football and incredibly biased management.

That's actually the best part. Of course, he will always contend that the failure to get in a 7th CB is the sole reason for this abject failure of a season but we all know he failed playing his own way with absolutely zero interferrance.

I love Solskjaer but no thanks. It wouldn't be good for him but honestly, the person I want right now is someone to slap the players into shape.

I am sure Solskjaer would command respect etc. but feel there are better options. Throw money for 6 months at Zidane who I think would be more likely to do this than a full time gig. Nothing to lose for him, short term and for us the players wouldn't stand up to Zidane - he was better than them as a footballer and has shown he can win stuff (even if he had a greater squad). But the managing Madrid thing is important - he came into a dressing room full of mega ego's who were struggling and told them to shape up. We need that

 

[Sied]

absolutely no chance, top of league and still in cl. maybe in a few years. in the meantime you need someone competent and likebable. poch would be ok.

I was taking the piss because Poch is about as achievable as Klopp imo.

 

[Random Task]

Finally, it's over.

 

[Trophy Room]

Give it to Hazza

Utd are just a sacking club now. Where has the United way gone? It's a shambles from top to bottom.

If "the United way" has gone, the sign it's gone is the appointments not the sackings.

 

[Alvaro Maestre]

We went backwards under Mourinho - regularly getting embarrassed by no mark teams. What exactly are we going to regret? At worst, we will still finish outside the CL spots which is exactly where we were headed with Mourinho. The only way we will regret this is if we get relegated.

Yeah, winning trophies is way worse than playing attractive football.

 

[Ban]

Your utter obsession with Woodward is creepy

Is it? Somethink like yours witn Jose I reckon.

 

[RedFish]

Pogba posted a picture of himself ten minutes ago with a smirk on his face and wrote, “captions?”

He’s deleted it now

Says it all really the daft cnut. I find it hard to find anything positive about Pogba these days. This kind of reaction is just immature and downright disrespectful. What the heck is wrong with him.

 

[Cassidy]

Its been long overdue

 

[Oscar.Z.Acosta]

Quieroz won't leave Iran so close to the Asian Cup. He loves Iran.

This swarthy man fascinates me. I can’t decide if he should be in charge of the Middle East peace process or is just one of the great mercenaries in history.

 

[OneUnited24]

Evra maybe? He was spotted with Ed a few times this season.

I'd love that but even as a interm manager we need someone with a bit of experience. Can you imagine him after a defeat "Hahahah I LOVE THIS GAME... Yeah i felt we werent good in the transitions"

 

[Mick321]

Blanc would make sense given our best two players are French, knows PSG etc. Probably too sensible for us though. As much as I'm delighted the scumbag is gone I'm nervous about what we do.

 

[Ace of Spades]

I like him, but he may not even want to come here. As long as it is not another defensive manager, and is someone who plays football in a positive way, that is good enough for me.

 

[diarm]

It's Evra surely

Surprised he hasn't been mentioned more. He's been pictured at Ed's side several times in recent weeks. Not sure how I feel about it though - I love the guy but I'm not convinced he's entirely mentally stable!

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

Blanc would be a good bet for both sides. He can only enhance his reputation with Utd, he's not going to do any worse than Jose!

 

[Vadim]

It has to be Jardim.

If I'm not mistaken he was about to take a job 2 weeks ago but then it got cancelled shortly after it was reported. Surely United aren't that incompetent to sack Jose without having a manager lined up.

The worst thing we can do now is hire someone without thought or preparation.

We need to do this calmly and with an interview and screening process. Let’s interview a few candidates and choose the best fit - not just throw a 3 year contract at the next man when the dust hasn’t even settled on the previous boss.

 

[Revan]

He doesn't even have to get himself sacked. All he has to do is say he wants to leave.

Then Levy or whoever is running the club has to make the decision if they want to keep a manager who doesn't have his heart in the job against his will. And then consider the potential effect it will have on the squads morale and attitude if it gets out that there manager wanted to go.

You can strong hand a player to stay but the guy leading your entire group, is a different matter.

Yes. Then Spurs can decide to let him leave or not. If they let him leave, then job done. Otherwise, we should try to buyout his contract, not make pressure on him to make Spurs sack him.

Regardless, even if we pay a bit it won't be much if we want him. We pay 50-60m for players which don't even start so 10-20m for a manager which we really want is nothing.

 

[ROFLUTION]

Found a British Sky Sports stream. Souness said we should have given Moyes more time and Danny Mills reckons we need to get in Southgate

Danny fecking Mills Now there's a pick for a forgotten players-thread.

 

[Irrational.]

No one for Eddie Howe?

 

[bushyzor]

[Insert picture of Paddy Evra sitting next to Woodward here]

Could it be...

P.s. Noob privileges

 

[LawCharltonBest]

What are Skysports saying? Carrick will be appointed for 48 hours until another temp comes in?

 

[Vadim]

What are Skysports saying? Carrick will be appointed for 48 hours until another temp comes in?

Yep exactly this - or that Carrick will take charge for two games? Not entirely sure.

 

[trafford1980]

United Ties.. Maybe we’ve approached Steve Round or that old white haired fella that was lurking around in the Moyes era..

 

[RedGib]

Has to be park and evra

 

[Eckers99]

Wouldn't even look that far ahead. The way Guardiola and Zidane performed having come through the ranks at their clubs, who's to say that Carrick won't totally turn us around and earn a crack himself? A lot can happen between now and summer.

 

[Keeps It tidy]

Surprised he hasn't been mentioned more. He's been pictured at Ed's side several times in recent weeks. Not sure how I feel about it though - I love the guy but I'm not convinced he's entirely mentally stable!

Does Evra even have his badges yet?

 

[Kapardin]

Blanc would make sense given our best two players are French, knows PSG etc. Probably too sensible for us though. As much as I'm delighted the scumbag is gone I'm nervous about what we do.

No guarantees Blanc and Jardim accept an interim contract.

 

[MoskvaRed]

I feel bad for him too. Professionally, his reputation is in tatters. And that's a shitty thing for any man to endure. But the fact he's made so much money makes me feel a little less sorry for him. He can take a long sabbatical now, with his family, and never needs to work again. As someone who is not far off his age, I can only dream of spending my late middle age the way he is able to do now, thanks in large part to the money he earned from the club I support. A club I almost had to stop watching, thanks to him.

It’s generally uncomfortable seeing a once great champion reduced to an also ran, but equally it’s hard to forget how nasty he could be to the likes of Wenger and Ranieri when he was on the way up.

 

[VP89]

Has to be park and evra

I'd get behind this.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

People saying he should have been sacked at the end of last season. Madness

It was blindingly obvious that this was going to be a nightmare season as early as the Summer.

Mourinho was in full on sulk meltdown mode and our performances in pre season were disgraceful. We had people saying "oh it's only pre season" but look what happened.

He definitely should have gone in the Summer. He clearly gave up then.

 

[Murray3007]

get Keane in min, let this current boys see some standards the club used to have.

 

[Strachans Cigar]

Yeah let’s get Poch who blew a title run in v Leicester, has trod water since then instead of kicking on, and has still won feck all?

If he’s considered the best candidate out there it’s grim pickings indeed.
