Interesting.
Oh yes they did.
That's the point, if they chose Poch they are going for the option that makes as little disruption as possible, when actually the club needs a right old shake up from top to bottom. I would love to see what ETH could do with the kids we have coming through. It's not the first time we have had talented kids, but for some reason the manager in charge had this knack of ignoring the real talent and promoting some run of the mill footballer. We need someone who is given time, who has a real eye for talent and is not scared to integrate them.
Yeah hard to disagree with that.
Who are the other 4 clubs then?
Your question is a pretty important one; how do you define success? I think that for the moment, the definition of success has to be lowered from title challenge/ CL win (the classic Utd definition of the last 30 years) which I think you are a long distance away from, to establishing an effective and organised style of football, moving with the times. If I was the next Utd manager I’d be cutting my losses on a whole bunch of players- your central midfield for a start, centre backs who aren’t comfortable on the ball, and full backs who can’t consistently attack and add width. I think it’s a tough one, and the short term effects of say, getting rid of Maguire, AWB, McTominay, Fred, Bailly all at financial losses will mean tough times in the short term. But I don’t see another way. Of course you have to believe, I mean literally what other option is there. I just think it’s an awful lot to ask of a relatively young manager without much experience outside of Holland, where Ajax are by far the biggest and richest team.
If the board goes for Poch, City will get ETH.
Thanks we were waiting for you to confirm
You're welcome
Ten Hag has performed "miracles" in every club he's been to.
3-1 odds skybet. Make some money off it.
You jest, but you are absolutely right. Looks like they haven't even contacted Ten Hag, just like I thought.
I'm willing to bet no other managers were ever considered. It was always Poch. The rest were red herrings to make us think they are doing something. This club is beyond belief...I’m a match going fan. Everyone I speak to don’t want Poch. Potter perhaps. But not Poch.
I mean there are so many reports saying Ten Hag has been sounded out, where are the reports saying we have spoken to Poch?You jest, but you are absolutely right. Looks like they haven't even contacted Ten Hag, just like I thought.
Same, dunno why people keep rolling out the "spoken to matchday going fans" line as if it holds more substance to the claim. It doesn't matter who any of us want, its who the board wants which will matter in these circumstances.
They say "conversations with prospects", but then "Ten Hag is willing to speak to United". This leads me to believe they haven't talked to him. Besides, this board has had a hard-on for Poch for the longest time. They've probably had his agent or Poch himself on quick dial for the past 6 months, waiting for this opportunity. If I didn't have to spend so much cash on gas these days I'd probably put a fifty on Skybet.
If it is true though, it makes you sick to your stomach
Man Utd delighted by the prospect of more failure? Now there’s a surprise…NOT! Just carrying on from the last 9 years.
I guess people have come to expect the worst when it comes to this club.
That and it's been widely reported for years now how much Sir Alex and the board have a love in for Poch. Hopefully this love in doesn't extend so much to Ralf, Arnold, Murtogh and Fletcher
Man Utd name was/is an attractive proposition but at this moment in time top players are choosing better run clubs and I struggle to see why managers should be different, why would Tuchel risk his reputation when so many others have had theirs tarnished or ruined by joining our current shambolic clusterflip.

Late! I am the late police
Yeah I figured.....but I refuse to delete it!
More leaders and less flaky players but lets be honest not really worlds part, Ancelotti finished mid table with a poor Everton side whom will be lucky to stay up this season, He's getting the best out of that Madrid side that aren't close to former star studded sides. Over came PSG but my money would be on Chelsea,Liverpool,City if they draw Madrid next simply because all three have better managers than PSG and won't collapse when put under pressure.
Guardiola ain’t leaving at the end of this season… he could want a new challenge though if he finally wins the champions league with city but if they fail then I don’t think he’ll leave until they do. He’s gonna want all the glory and to be the one to say I lifted the champions league with city.
