Carrick is a first team coach atm, as is McKenna who was a former spurs prospect/coach, coached the academy to success playing attractive football. There is also nicky butt coaching the youth or reserves/ academy director it's escapes me right now I've had too much Keo celebrating the Ryder cup

Of course, but so was giggs and the club gave it to him on an interim basis. Carrick imop is infinitely more carismatic. Managing a united, barca, real, bayern sized club is a unique challenge and he knows the club inside out and will the club first not his own agenda. Not saying on a permanent...

It's a very valid point, I've been a Jose supporter but my confidence is shaken. I'm not at the point of wanting him sacked but I am thinking the devils advocate of what if. I think he would get more out of the current squad and be tougher (behind the scenes) on those who don't. I could see...

Best manager in the world IMOP. Perfect for us to take over seamlessly from mourinho's style, he's like a more modern and adapted version of Jose. Good at taking an underfunded club with hard working players and abit of stardust far. Makes too much sense for united to go for him lol so won't...

Mostly it's because we've ended up with a man like Woodward in charge of footballing decisions, and the glazers are happy to "do an arsenal" with top 4 being enough, rather than a clear plan, direction and improvement strategy Now it's clearly of great benefit the margins tht our marketing...

In terms of keeping Jose or giving carrick the role on interim? If the former then moyes & van Gaal went due to finishing outside the top 4. The glazers whole financial model is built around top 4 & group stage qualification being enough. If it's the latter and about carrick then zidane is...

Whilst I agree Jose is on borrowed time, I think it would be dangerous to sack him now after the players pretty much downed tools. We could end up in a Chelsea situation where all the players and agents have the power. I don't think the club would sack him until the top four is mathematically...

Perhaps these "immortals" if achieved would actually end up going slowly insane? Would certainly be creepy and interesting seeing the psychological side effects. What about the benefits to the military too of mechanised human soldiers? Alas AI would probably get us first anyway

narcos/sicario?

the only thing LVG had over Jose was a clear game plan and direction for the club. I liked LVG as a personality and I did wish he'd have worked out, but his decision to switch to two DM's was a strange one considering we hit our best football under him towards the end of the season with the...

"gettable" players if we are looking to improve across the pitch. I'm not saying we need them all btw CB - Maguire, alderwiereld, de ligt LB - Tierney, sandro, sessegnon RB - Munier (not sure if PSG would sell) CM - savic, AM - fekir RW - pullisic, zaha (more central these days I guess) Back...

It seems that the biggest success's at the monster clubs lately have been a promotion from within, someone who lives for the club, albeit they tend to burn out from the pressure after afew years; Zidane & pep. So why not try carrick or McKenna in a caretaker role. The catch of course is that...

spot on post. LVG was positive until we shipped a load of goals against leicester also agree pep gets away with replacing yet another 50mil defender with a shiny new toy yet our fans bash mourinho saying he's not allowed another cb after buying bailly and lindelof. its pretty clear he wants to...
