Oh how I’d like to believe our board were capable of such foresight. Alas, such a feat is impossible.

Carrick? He's English
Also has a portrait of himself in his house
I could be wrong but Conte doesn't strike me as the type to accept being a stop gap.
Yup, agree with this.
The city result was actually a close game, and it was only our naivety at the end, chasing a goal, that led to the fluke scoreline.
The Liverpool game at the weekend was embarrassing.
Plus, City are a nothing club. Just a sheikh's plaything. Liverpool are our biggest rivals, our only real rivals, and to lose like that to them at Old Trafford is an utter disgrace and a sackable offence to any manager, especially one who has zero credit to his name.
True. Some of them have genuinely massive followings on the line but I guess most are probably just kids that'll follow regardless of how often they're talking out of their arse.
Don't fell sorry for them, they have limited if not zero experience on how to setup a team tactically.
Carrick and Mckenna might be okay coaches, but I think we can all see they are not elite or even advanced in any of coaching elements when it comes to team shape, playing patterns, movements and positioning. Maybe the are good at running seasons, but the tactical elements are shocking and have have been for a long time.
The only constant in this is Carrick and Mckenna because they've been here for a long time, longer than Ole - We'll need a full team not just a manager.
Basically the 'preparing a bid' stage
The club have been silent?
Hey, jokes aside. I like him. He focuses on possession based with quick transition, high pressing and high energetic game . I would have preferred him last year but not now with big personalities in the squad.
Refrain post from rumour mills please
Obvious hedging his bets - it's not exactly groundbreaking
It's quite sad how at this point I can't face another game with him in charge, just can't face it. Yesterday has 100% finished him off as manager as far as I'm concerned, I was done before then, but knew he wasn't going anywhere. Now he must go.
Yeah fair points. It's just not an appointment I'd be excited by at all.
This is just absolute nonsense.
I think Klopp was just saving their legs for the bigger games against better opposition to come.
Of course.
Cowardly, clueless owners with no desire to get Utd back at the top.
They’ll just be hoping this ‘blows over’ and they get to keep reaping the profits of Utd without having to do anything.
He doesn't. Surely?
It’s taking too long. It should have been swift and decisive. There needs to be some sort of minimum standard.
The message this sort of thing sends to the players is that “yeah, it’s bad, but it’s one of those things”
Manager gone, and 4-5 of those players from yesterday dropped by next manager.
I think we need Conte in all honesty. Someone who will not let standards drop and force those players to work.

Imo. He's gone , when I don't know, maybe in the next international break, Roger's I don't want , but I didn't want Jose either, but it happened. We will have all the ex scousers having there 2 pence worth, he was this at Anfield that at bloody Melwood etc etc . They will every chance to remind us he was there Manager . So no . I'd take Tenhag guy from Ajax . First
Agreed.
This is exactly why I don't fancy those hipster managers many here do. We'd need someone with a big reputation and know how to handle the huge egos now.
Think most are aware our squad isn't perfect and that there's poisonous fumes in the boardroom. Not changing manager because of that is still lunacy though.
Naaglesman didn't have that much more before he went to Bayern. Would you have taken him?
Sums up how I feel.
I'm using your summation from now on, it encapsulates my dislike for Rodgers in colorful terms (thank you). That 4am thing and his three envelopes both, total David Brent. I think Rodgers would be a disaster of a different stripe for us, but still a disaster.
Big Sam anyone?
Bruce?
Another reason for Conte? He won't hold back.
What's your definition of a "hipster manager" then?
Rodgers is a very good coach. And he won plenty of titles in Scotland. Easy, you might say, but they couldn't do it last season.
no feckin way.
Didn't think of that side of things tbh
You know he copied the envelopes thing from Fergie, right?
Neither would Zidane
Those haven't win anything big yet but hotly tipped to be the next big thing. Of course with some fancy, eye catching on-trend philosophy or modern approach.
I'm not against those btw. Just bad timing imo.
I will support Tottenham on Saturday if he is still in the job.
His comments after yesterdays match ("I have come so far......") showed that he only cares about himself and i can not support this shit anymore!!!
And i can't support the players too if they don't have the balls to go to the board and bring him down!!!

I think the discussion is now on the 'severance package' rather than anything else.
Romano must love it when United are involved in a story.
