I'm not sure whether the Bruce suggestions are serious or not.White text
The man has been the most outdated coach in the league for years.

It’s not just about what a club wants. It’s also whether or not a manager prefers to join mid-season when the ship is wobbling, or wait till the summer, by which time the boat has probably steadied and they’ve had time to prepare properly.All reports about Poch and Ten Hag suggest they are both gettable, but more expensive now than they will be in the summer. Surely we aren't waiting just to save a few million quid?
Are we? Please say we aren't writing off the season in November because we aren't willing to pay what is necessary to get a preferred target right away.
I sure hope not because I feel the squad has a lot of untapped potential and could make the champions league semis if the bracket breaks right.All reports about Poch and Ten Hag suggest they are both gettable, but more expensive now than they will be in the summer.

At Villa his training sessions was a kickabout.. Lets hope it was a big jokeI'm not sure whether the Bruce suggestions are serious or not.

It's because it's quite feasible Carrick could be around for longer given the idiocy of ed etcNot sure why people are worried about Carrick, he's there for the next game or 2 max because we don't have an interim manager ready. We had plenty of time during the international break, but it seems woody and co really thought Ole could turn it around and still have zero plans.
I think going for someone who's managing a national team is a good shout. Opens the door for several decent options.
He's a sucker for punishment.Steve Bruce has put his name into the hat now
Thank GodSteve Bruce has put his name into the hat now
He should see it as his audition for the premier league rather than a temp job with United. If nothing else, the focus of the world is going to be on him and his work for the rest of the season, so even if he doesn't have a future here, a club like Leicester City or Arsenal would be in for him if it goes south with Brendan or Arteta as is the trend right now.I think we will persuade Rangnick to take over until the summer.
I could definitely see Steve Bruce getting the job.Steve Bruce has put his name into the hat now
Even this board isn't dumb enough to not foresee the shit storm that would come with hiring the manager sacked at the bottom club in the premier league.I could definitely see Steve Bruce getting the job.
I mean, they are not going to change the coaching set up, and were so reluctant to release Solskjaer, they probably see the "United DNA" project being able to continue under Bruce.
Quite agree.The coaching staff should have been sacked with Ole. Typically, our board make a mess of it. It's so depressing.
Wow, I wish I shared your optimism. Literally nothing points towards us making such a clever deal.I think we will persuade Rangnick to take over until the summer.

What and for the next week or so before we find an interim the players just coach themselves?Quite agree.
Before you can even attempt to resolve a problem, you first have to clearly identify the cause.
And most United fans are of the opinion that the coaching staff are, at least, part of that problem.
So unless there is a fundamental review of the coaching system, they have, yet again not done the most basic of things.
Well Rangnick only makes sense if we give him charge of all things related football, so Murtoughs job really, which means it won't happen.Rangnick now and ETH in the summer. I hope Murtough reads the Caf.
Nothing really points to Anyone at this particular time. The media is having a ball, but with most of the names not interested in the job.Wow, I wish I shared your optimism. Literally nothing points towards us making such a clever deal.

I would totally believe that IF his name was in the frame from the likes of Mitten, Whitwell, Stone or DuckerI think we will persuade Rangnick to take over until the summer.
I hope your fingers were crossed when you made that statement..?Even this board isn't dumb enough to not foresee the shit storm that would come with hiring the manager sacked at the bottom club in the premier league.

Yeah FFS go and offer Rangnick what he wants and tell Murtough they would have to work togetherFFS.
If we actually went with Steve Bruce until the end of the season. Can you imagine?
It's as if those bumbling dolts don't realise that top four isn't a shoe-in for us! If we take Bruce until end of season and we don't make CL qual. we'll probably end up not getting our actual manager of choice.
They better wise the feck up.
That is a very interesting point about the playing and potential interim manager role.And so, the Michael Carrick story continues at OT!
In playing terms it could be said that Carrick's former role is the root of many of our problems. From Fergie and down through the list of managers since, until present day no one ever really replaced the job Carrick did in the midfield as DM (and a converted one at that when he had been brought in as AM, from Spurs). Matic made some impact, until his legs started to go, but even he did not always read the game like Carrick did.
How much difference might we see if Carrick has the final say? Will he, as a 'stand in' (not been given even interim manager status), be able to solve the DM conundrum, maybe not, but at least he will be/should be one manager with a unique view of what is required.
Lets hope so, although as things stand he will be in no doubt there is much he has accomplish in this respect... hope springs eternal though!
Yeah that is a very good pointThat is a very interesting point about the playing and potential interim manager role.
But it surely did not need to wait for Ole to be sacked for him to take the required action.
My biggest concern with Carrick relates to his mental toughness. We know that he struggled to impose himself as an England international because he was not forceful in the dressing room. And preferred to stand back or say that he was not fit.
Maybe he will find it easier at OT. But we do have a number of strong egos that he is going to have to 'win over'. And their first instinct is going to be. - so what has changed.
