Laurent Blanc would be my pick - I just have a good feeling about him because he seems to share the same values as SAF (youth, creativity, attacking football) and that he tactically focuses more on possession in the middle of the pitch. The latter point may not sound AWESOME like number of trophies and all compared to others, but tactically this better protects the existing fragile back four from getting exposed while we're still on the lookout for a solid defensive partnership at the back (could take years.)
This source illustrates it better: https://spielverlagerung.com/2016/02/12/team-analysis-psg/
I've also read that he delegates his coaches the task of training the players from here: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/may/31/laurent-blanc-bordeaux-manchester-united-profile .
Some give him flack for that but I guess delegation is a good thing especially since his job is to concentrate more on the bigger picture stuff and managing the bigger personalities in the squad as a whole. But subjective too since there are more coach like managers (Wenger for example.)
Nonetheless, let's see who takes up the mantle at the end of the season

I'd be surprised if he didn't entertain the possibility. Especially if the club do appoint a DOF that he has previously worked with. It's like being offered the job at Real Madrid at the moment - you have a lot of ageing stars that need replacing, sky high expectations from the board and fans, and limited power for the manager. Yet a lot of managers would still jump at that opportunity. It's possible that United could offer Poch the job and get mooned in return, but I would suspect otherwise.
OGS should be on the list.
Okay he's not one of the favourites but if..
1. He gets the team playing as a team
2. The team start playing united style attacking football
3. The team manage to make the top four from where we are now
It's a big if but if he can achieve the above he would deserve a shot at the permie job.
Yes i know, i i know... But i think he at least should be on the list of this poll!!!

It is a hard one for me, I don't really like the football that Spurs play and Pochettino has never won anything which I do find worrying considering the amount of time he has now had at a top 6 club. On the other hand it would disappoint Glaston.
I think it is still unlikely. Why would he want to leave a club that he is almost there with for one that has an absolute circus around it? If he fails then his stock drops significantly to leave a job unfinished for sake of glory. I think if he were to entertain a move away, we would be higher than RM. I do hope he comes to us as he is probably the best person that is available right now but again who knows. He might turn to crap as soon as he come to us.
Poch is pretty good mates with Jose.
So there will be a conversation & Jose obviously will enlighten Poch about the problems he encountered here with the players & upper management from his perspective.
Will Poch still want to come after Jose sticks the boot in?

Don't you know we are restructuring?
He has been doing a great job at 2 clubs. Whether he won something or not, I dont think it matters really. Jose won everything, and so did LVG. Both were shit managers for us.
We should go all out and try everything to get Poch.
We missed out on Klopp and Guardiola and I think Poch is the one who comes closest. I can imagine that leading us back to glory might be something that will pique his interest. He would have more resources here to fully realize his vision of perfect football. And I think this vision perfectly fits our tradition.
He is also still quite young so he could build the next dynasty similar to the SAF era staying in charge for the next 1 or 2 decades.
The problem is that also Real will come knocking again and I can also imagine that Bayern might reinforce their interest.
That being said I have to mention the great work of Marco Rose. RB Salzburg play a fanastic brand of football and I can imagine that Rose would do a great job given the possibilities he would find here.

Obviously there's a chance it will all depend on Ole's results and performance, but in case we end up looking for a new manager this summer, I think we'll go for Poch and Spurs will go for Howe.
It's crazy how many people think we should go for Howe. Remember when O'Neill was overachieving at Leciester/Villa? or Moyes at Everton? even Dyche last year? Howe is no different. Same thing.
It would be a terrible idea; and yet it would still be an infinitely better idea than appointing Southgate (who has been suggested by multiple people).

Its not so easy with levy at spurs and real madrid in competition for him as well.
Also, I wonder he will need a bedding in time as well right since we don't necessarily have the players pochh football needs.
Yep I know but I've seen some quotes of him where he's prising SAF and UTD so I think there might be something there.
I agree with Madrid job, but ill think he'll get more freedom, leeway and job security than in Madrid .
As it was no secret that Solskjaer was being lined up as interim manager, and has been confirmed, the reason we are going for an interim has become clear.
All the talk inside the club is that Pochettino is our Plan A, and of course there is no way we could stand any chance of getting him till the end of the season.
The only thing standing in the way, and it is not just an 'only' is whether he would take the job and whether Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will let him go, and he will undoubtedly play hard ball by way of compensation on this as he always does.
As for Poch himself, well he is not giving much away, as you would expect but at the same time has hardly nailed colours to the mast in terms of staying at Tottenham.
He says he cannot guarantee he will be at Tottenham, but in the context that he feels you can guarantee nothing in football. So in other words, non-committal.
"It’s not in my hands how to manage all of these rumours," Pochettino said. "I am not creating rumours, I am here. The players don’t care too much about what happened about the rumours. We are focused and we are going to be focused on our job and then we are very professional.
"Like always in football, no one can guarantee nothing. We were talking a few weeks ago and I said if a chairman or president is going to support you, then it’s because you are going to be sacked the day after. The job is so tough, because nobody in football can guarantee you are going to be here tomorrow. In football, I say today is white, tomorrow is black. For me, the most important thing is to be natural.
"What is going to happen in the summer? What is going to happen tomorrow? No one knows. The most important thing is to enjoy the journey. I’m so happy here."

I would never utter anything negative about Woodward if he manages to pull this off.
there's already a Poch thread in the FF where all this is being discussed, is this really needed? The op isn't even asking any questions
It is certainly noticeable that the club is after him, & I expect have been given encouraging signs from his team.
From what I've read about him seems as if he make a good choice but I don't know if he is high profile enough for the board that is why I can see us trying hard for Zidane although don't want him here personally.Marco Rose please
You sound like a spoilt child, not to mention your unwarranted arrogance ...
How many players from Spurs have United wanted in the last 10 years (since after Berbatov)? How many have you got? Zero.
And what's more tragic is that you view Pochettino as some piece of meat, as if the guy himself has no say in the matter and all that counts is what United wants.
Do you think there is a serious chance Pochettino will leave you to come to us mate?
There are a lot more than that over the years. A friend who is an agent highlighted it to me as one of the risks of Simeone a couple of years ago.
Sections of the press are "sure" he wants to go to United, just like they were "sure" he'd end up at RM last summer.
As for Pochettino himself (yesterday's press conference): "I'm happy here in Tottenham and I have four-and-a-half years left on my contract. I understand you're interested because there are a lot of rumours but look, I'm happy here, trying to give my best to the club."

No, not this summer at least.
I like your comments on here, as your posts are fair, but seriously you must be concerned that your manager might leave your club, if not to us then Madrid. The old saying 'there is no smoke without fire' comes to mind here. I expect Man Utd have had positive vibes coming from the Pochettino camp, & his comments at the news conference were pretty vague and non committal.
Fair enough
I am surprised not to have seen his name banded around at all as a possible permanent manager.
From what I understand he is a very highly rated coach, heavily linked with Arsenal during the summer. Obviously has been working under the stewardship of Pep for several years. Maybe he would be a great option for us?
There is no chance he will be City's manager anytime soon, so for him this could be a massive opportunity. Brian Kidd made the move. Why couldn't he?

What happened to Ariel Holan as a deep cut pick? @IFC 1905?

Blanc is the man I want
Think he’d unlock both Andreas and Pogba to their fullest, the only issue with his appointment is we’d desperately need a defender who can make a pass.
A quote from Poch yesterday:
"Like always in football, no one can guarantee nothing"
This statement blows your argument out of the water. He is clearly leaving his options open.
OGS needs to be added to the poll in the OP.
Don't worry if plan A fails, there are 25 more letters in the alphabet
If it’s not Pochettino, I can’t think of anyone else we’d be waiting until the Summer for
what about bruno genesio? His Lyon team looks impressive.
Well, where the press and media is concerned I'd say that there is very often lots of smoke and no fire: it's in their interest to make mountains out of molehills.
At some point of course Pochettino will leave Spurs, but not this summer IMO, and maybe not for several years to come. And when he does leave, RM is a far more likely destination than United.
If Ole clinched us the 4th spot, the club would be insane not to let him continue.
