What? Why? So you are employing somebody but immediately assume they are not good enough.
Who should the caretaker manager be?

Not too keen on OGS. Plus, SAF shouldnt have a say in this anymore. We really should move on now
He's probably got a house around here.
This is what I'm wary of. Understanding the club isn't half as important as understanding the job. If their version of attack is parking players up the pitch with no real patterns of play then it won't be a great watch and results won't be great either. Our values aren't actually that unique that we need to restrict this to former players
Yeah, we have quite capable person in Woodward.
How would people feel about Bruce or Hughes til end of season? Steady the ship, get the club and players functioning correctly.
Wenger.
Standard practice in business - you employ interims with a different remit and targets than a perm hiring.
No thanks.
I wasn't happy with the thought of Solskjaer being appointed, but when phrased like you have, if this is the thought process I'm happy with it. The players have had the stick for the last 6 years with LvG and Jose, let's see which ones can perform when offered the carrot.
Phelan, Solskjaer & Meulensteen all know what made United what they were under Fergie and they're all apparently nice guys. Let them inform the DoF what's good about the current squad and what isn't. If they wouldn't perform under Jose & can't perform under the new guys then ta-ra. Top post.

The more I've thought about this, the more I want Blanc.
Ole vs PsG? Cmon, he'd be overawed.
We're in still in the CL with some fecking good players - bring in Blanc and lets try and win this fecking thing.

Hughes gives the impression he hates Utd and was the manager of City!!! So absoubtly no. Neither have the pedigree required.
Yeah, I agree with this, especially the Hughes bit. I feel I want Blanc more than OGS.
Carlos Queiroz would be my pick.
I just have recollection of Giggs doing the same thing. Straight back into 442, Valencia one side, Young the other. They probably see this as them ‘getting what the club is about’.
By all accounts, Ole is a ridiculous appointment. There’s just over half a season left. If it were like Giggs to get us through the next 4 games then perhaps, but with so much of the season left, whoever comes in needs to be a serious candidate, he’s not there for a joke and to embarrass us further. Unless I’m mistaken, the thought of Ole being our next manager a week ago would be laughed off. Nowhere near a viable candidate surely?
It's not really a question of pedigree IMO. Both obviously have bags of experience. It's their style or lack of it.
So, Moyes fecks all the coaching staff off & 5 years later looks as though Phelan & possibly Rene may be coming back with Ole?
Why the feck did we not just keep all the backroom/coaching staff in place when SAF retired? If it ain’t broke change as little as possible etc. Logical, at least to me.
These dozy feckers never heard of the Anfield bootroom, Shankly, Paisley & Fagan?
Unbelievable that the club were not thinking in terms of continuity and retaining as much of SAFs influence/thought/passed on wisdom as possible.
Moyes, I fecking hate you, you utter prick.

Well...you can't win them all
When asked if he would take the United job Eric said
"Of course," he said
"You would see wonderful football, for sure," he vowed.
If as it looks like it is Ole, it must be after consultation with SAF.
Solsjkear's appointment would remind me of Di Matteo's when he took over at Chelsea, in that he's an ex player and his managerial record wasn't particularly great when taking over as interim.
We all know what Di Matteo went on to do, though...........

Isn’t he a really, really defensive minded manager?
Giggs was thrown in at the deep end with zero managerial experience with minimal pressure on results. Ole is being brought in to lift us and get us playing some good football again.
Yes.
I love Ole but the idea of him taking over doesnt enthrall me
Can't wait to shithouse our way to a CL.
Gary Neville can pull his wire to the winning penalty if he likes.
Close enough.
I'm going with OGS it's easier.
Could do with a twitter feed for the news atm?
I think the finances wouldn't have permitted them to not have a decent season. United are much more commercial successful than Liverpool. I don't mean that Mourinho should have continued indefinitely but at least allow themselves a month to get a replacement.
Similar things were said about Southgate, Zidane heck even Guardiola when he was first appointed. I'm not saying OGS is going to reach those heights but he may prove to be a surprising success. Any appointment is a risk in some respects.
If we want to do it right, get Blanc in for 6 months and take it from there. OGS is going to be worse than Jose.
Is he? I need to do my homework. No, no managers ever described as defensive.
Not opposed to Cantona. Season is a write-off anyway.
Eric taking over would be both amazing and hilarious. I'd accept any league position between 17th and 4th just to see it happen. He'd kung fu kick the shit out of any of our current instagram babies if they start playing up. Please somebody, make this happen
A Man Utd manager who once had ties, albeit emotional, with Liverpool? Last time that happened, it ended up being pretty decent eh.
Both Barcelona and Real Madrid have appointed managers directly from being reserve team boss and in Barcelona's case, assistant manager too. The idea that a manager needs to have a certain CV is ridiculous. LVG and Mourinho have won titles across Europe yet were total failures here.
Even before today, I would have interviewed Solskjaer, alongside Eddie Howe and a few other talented younger coaches from across Europe, for the permanent job.
