I'd guess so. At least he'll have a big say in footballing matters. Well I hope.What is this 2 year "consultancy" deal meaning? If it means he'll work in some sort of dof role I'm very pleased with that.

Donny for sure will be loved. High energy, can press and can pass. Fred would be ideal also but he cant pass.Who’s he making the biggest impact on in terms of play style in our squad then?
Sweepstake?
The other option is the manager adapts to having one of the best strikers in the world, and sets up a system with him that works. I'm sure it's possible.I believe Ronaldo must sacrifice the amount of minutes he plays, or he will have to adapt his style. There isn't really an alternative, what do you think would be the solution apart from dropping him all together?
I rememeber when Van Gaal came to manage us. There was so much controversy about him, and so many were advising its gonna turn bad.I was excited when we hired Van Gaal which only shows how little I know.
Definitely! Having him there to move things in the right direction and start laying the groundwork, approaching things in a holistic manner with an eye on the future will be really beneficial, as opposed to having someone come in to see out the season who could be fundamentally different in their approach and disconnected to the permanent manager who follows them, and would probably be focusing on their 6 months rather than having a vision past that.Yeah, also looks like he will play a role in which coach we will hire next. One more positive is (yeah i'm looking for positives) we won't be doing any short term deals just to get through this season. He will be part of the club for next 2.5 years so he might play good enough role in shaping the squad.
Will be interesting to see how the work rate changes for few of our attackers, especially Rashford, Greenwood and Sancho.
That's very interesting. Not what's the norm right now right? With pressing and high line with a sweeper keeper. And the GK is required to be good with the feet and an integral part of build up and beating the counter press. Interesting.De Gea will like that...

Yup - People should probably temper expectations for this season. This is all about giving the club some direction. I can't see how his influence wont be a good thing. He's instantly the most qualified football person at the club. Yes even more than SAF.I know him from his Bundesliga days quite well. More a squad builder DoF than a fantastic head coach, so I wouldn't expect any immediate fireworks. His sides are usually very disciplined defensively, I could even imagine him playing a 442 counter attacking style, he is not very possession orientated.
Apparently, we gave him a 2-year contract after this season as an advisor. Half measures, but I hope he can teach Fletch and Murtough a thing or two about how to pick the right coaches and players.
Shhhhhh don’t curse us.Good.
The consultancy part is very interesting - and all in all this package is much more promising to me than hiring a permanent manager straight away.
Could it be that Murtough actually knows what he's doing?
The decision making from the club has been getting and better for a few years now.Jesus Christ I dont believe it.
They actually have made the right decision?
This is exciting.
Maybe transition into DOF? I'm very excited about this. Hope he lays the foundation for Ten Hag and then moves upwards to do for us what he did for RB Liepzig.Really? Wow. Read that he’s a control freak.
what does a 2 yr consultant mean? We won’t listen and keep you on retainer but out of our sights if need be?

Was trying to make sense of that too!well done for not reading it.
He has developed the most fascinating, captivating, efficient brand of football that you have seen in recent years. Thats what hes done.Hey look,
I like the appointment, but looking at his history - what has the guy actually won? Great playing attractive high pressure football but if he's not won anything then do his tactics actually work?
DDG - heck, our entire central midfield is fecked - Fred, McT and MaticDDG's fecked.
yes this corporate speak, companies do this all the time when executives struggle. Murtough is never going to let his title go or shows signs that he's needs help, hiring a consultant sounds much better than hiring a tutor. And we get to keep in house as an interim manager, in case the next one pulls a Moyes.What is this 2 year "consultancy" deal meaning? If it means he'll work in some sort of dof role I'm very pleased with that.
He's the proto-Klopp.Can someone detail what type of manager he is? What kinds of players and systems he likes?
Love this. Not sure if we have the right personnel for gegenpressing type football but should be excitingBrilliant news, followed him for a long time and no doubt his influence and style of play can be seen in the modern game.
Hopefully the coaches are shown the door.
Of course, both his Southampton and Spurs teams both pressed relentlessly, it was his trademark.Does Poch though? I haven't seen that high press in this PSG team at all. Might be down to those lazy fecks up front but still. Think Ten Hag would fit very well.
He will love how active Fred is tbfDDG - heck, our entire central midfield is fecked - Fred, McT and Matic
