Because if they do a good job they could easily secure the job.
Interim manager discussion: Who replaces the interim interim manger (Carrick)?

we have become the masters of the word "interim"
Won three league titles and a few cups with PSG. Won the league with Bordeaux too
And so the cycle ( I avoided the use of the "wheel" in the metaphor, for obvious reasons ) of managerial life continues.
Then why not offer them the job ? What do you tell your summer end of season target?
I've read the article. Can confirm that those names were mentioned.
To make it less traumatic. They do a good job and get to manage Portugal, Inter, AC, Atletico etc.
Let’s get Wazza.
As interim options? Either journo has got it wrong or we're deluded.
And now in Qatar, i don’t want an ex player as interim as I don’t trust our board to not give them the perm job if they do slightly above expectation.
Yeah, until I actually see a sexual Tyrannosaurus sitting in our dugout as manager I expect us to just keep lurching from one dud manager to the next.
Define easily. Will they trigger an automatic 3 year contract when they reach top 6 or such? Then ok, but then they're not hired as pure interim managers. Without some sort of guarantee or perspective, no way people in a good job would give it up, you see already managers that are unemployed being wary of the interim role.
Agree with this.
considering this season is almost a write off, I'd get someone who's worked extensively under Klopp or Pep. What happened to that Buvac guy who claimed he was the brains behind Klopps success?.Klopp has gone on to win the lot after he left so he might have been exaggerating his role but I don't see why we can't take the risk with someone like that who should be technically sound but lacks some other aspects of being a manager if we are looking simply for an interim.
Congrats on finding the one manager eho did even worse than ole.

Arteta?
Assistants of great managers are always a sure fire option, see Kiddo, McLaren, Carlos Q, Mickey Shorts.
If he had a plan, seems like Ole (who had no plan) would have been interested.
Yeah but I'd take them over Fletcher any day. Plus I think coaching has gotten a lot more technical since then so, good assistants might have something to offer especially compared to ex players with zero experience.Arteta?

I'd agree on Carrick etc, it doesn't inspire confidence but hopefully that's just for a game or two and the players can pull something out of the bag.
But the interim might not be bad. It's always going to be an uphill struggle with an interim manager because clearly you're not getting the best but we are getting a new face with a new take and that might be enough to at least get into the top 4. I think that has to be the realistic aim now, as unexciting as that is, in order to give the next manager a platform.
Like their wives ?
Crazy , crazy thoughts should stay thoughts.
Last I checked he was DoF at some Moscow club, I think? Funnily, so is Rangnick. Seems to be the place people go who are embittered about not getting big enough managerial jobs for themselves.
How about Paul McShane? Isn't he coaching the under 23s?
That's a come-and-get-me plea if ever I've heard one.
100% agree - that experiment giving apprenticeships to past players should be done with

The calmer heads that wanted to stick with Ole as opposed to the reckless fans that wanted him sacked for Conte or even Tuchel last season?
Just because the club is unable to sack at the right time (say, the international break) and find a better interim than Carrick doesn't mean it's not possible.
Exactly right. Oil money, as far as the neutral fan is concerned, creates a more competitive league - after all, the guys at the top (us, Liverpool) have, what, 50 years of growth behind us. It catapults what would have been trivial and pathetic challengers into supposed titans - admittedly without any of the gravitas or actual sense of tradition or fans actually showing up to games. Bayern are an example (in my opinion) of what Manchester United WOULD be if the likes of City, Newcastle and Chelsea hadn't been 'chosen' to become the playthings of sheikh's and KGB agents laundering their ill gotten Russian oil money. 50+1 would have kept us at the top, but at the possible cost of the Premier League itself being the insane superleague it's becoming now.
Rooney has less coaching experience than Carrick.
WTF are some people thinking?

Well he actually had the guts to get his experience the right way.
“The right way” ok
Would it be possible to get the manager of a national team as an interim ?
I remember when Chelsea got Hiddink while he was the Russia manager.

That until I'm told otherwise it is incredible
It has to be a senior manager at the end of his career who can get instant buy in and respect from the squad. If you hire a younger up and comer, you end up in the same conundrum as Ole if he does well. I can see Wenger taking it, he’s been itching to coach for a while and go out on his own terms. The relationship with the club has gotten much nicer over the years, once Arsenal ceased being a threat.
Who is the USA manager? Maybe the Glazers could sort something like Abramovich did for Chelsea.
What about "smelly fingers" aka Joachim Low?
I’d be absolutely chuffed to bits with Wenger. To be honest I’d rather him over half of the permanent managers we’ve been linked with.
I've honestly no idea why we sacked ole if the there was no plan for hiring someone else. Give it Gary til t'end of season?
No way Wenger will be involved. His legacy is with arsenal.
Rooney with Carrick as No.2 could work. I’ld be happy with that.
This is my thinking. Someone who's either retired or who's near the end. They have to have won trophies so the players instantly respect them. So it reduces the chances of it becoming permanent and everyone knows the score.
