Weirdly this squad is arguably more suited to Jose than the one he was left with in his final season
If ten Hag was sacked tonight, who would you have as an interim?
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
If Keane or Solskjaer took over and we won the final, it would be one of the happiest moments in the history of the club. It's unlikely but one can dream. With them 2 I feel we'd have more of a chance than Ten Hag. I completely understand how irrational I'm being here.
There’s no manager who we know will be available who is stand out. Like when Guardiola or Klopp were available of course. Or when Everton managed to get Ancelotti which still blows my mind.
But of the managers available, if I took the effort to think about it, I think I could name at least 20 who I’d choose ahead of De Zerbi, Southgate or Potter
Any weakness Tuchel has pales in comparison to the weaknesses De Zerbi would bring
For me an interim is pointless at this stage. Im just saying it shouldn't be Ole.
Good job coaching is not punditry then.
Give it Fergie till the end of the season.
Fair enough mate. I don’t even know why we’re discussing interims anyway. Like you said it is pointless and the owners have had plenty of chances to sack him but still haven’t so anything that gets done will be done at the end of the season i’d imagine.
Would love to see Big Sam have a crack at it.
There are some posts suggesting to get Ole back for the last handful of games. I just didn't get it. Under his watch the discipline nosedived, tactics fell away all the same and we choked every cup we were in.
Imagine. Him and pep in an FA cup final showdown. If anyone can work miracles with this squad it’s Fergie. I remember him beating Milan in the CL with like 7 defenders playing.
At this stage, it could be tea lady for all I care. I’ve always stuck by Utd managers. But he has long lost me and needs to go.
He wouldn't even have to draw up tactics for the final, would just pick the team and stand on the touchline and we'd play out of our skin somehow.
Ye I was purely thinking for his h2h against Guardiola and his counter attacking ability always got the result against him. And his ability to make players happy with his loving nature and man management… I never remembered Oles teams getting dominated and conceding 20+ shots every match. I remember us actually having lots of possession under him but they were the games where we didn’t really win or couldn’t break down low blocks.
Ye and that will show everyone how spineless our players are. They can win and play for a manager that retired like 11 years ago but not for anyone els.
no Fellaini no party.
Because ten hag has never come close to beating pep without an offside goal.
I mean I think it's strictly off the back of him frustrating pep sides considering we are talking about only a handful of games.
I see what you did there.
He had a far healthier squad. And even in the games he best Pep we relied on some luck (as we always do). He wasn't anything special, just like Ten Hag isn't special vs Liverpool despite having 2 wins and 1 draw vs them at OT.
We should hire Kire Net Gah. I hear he’s the next big thing in football management.

Can you imagine Fergie in charge of this current bunch, he threw a boot a Becks, just imagine what he'll be throwing at this lot when losing 7-0 against Liverpool or throwing away a 3-0 lead against a team a league lower than you in the FA Cup SF.
Funny that you think Fergie would even be in that situation to begin with
Please
Interesting phrase to mock someone who became immortalized by the phrase "And Ole has won it" in 1999.
Ole+Keane
Bad cop, crap cop.
Walton Goggins has experience with Ghouls, same thing, get him in.
Nah, not seeing it.
Coward?
He tactically set us up to win multiple games at the Etihad. Compare that to any other manager post-Fergie who would go to the Etihad looking for a draw and would be happy with a 1-0 loss.I hated Van Gaal against bottom sides, but he'd set us up pretty well in big games.Coward?
That 4-2 vs City and the Juanfield result were two games where we dominated tough sides, can't recall many times we've had that.
Probably Ole. But ten Hag is staying until the end of this season anyway.
We dominated the 1st 30 minutes at 'juanfield' but I distinctly remember the 2nd half being more even, and Liverpool were down to 10 men early on at that point .
It was a good result, sure, though the performance has been a little overhyped in recent times.

I'd take Jose in a heartbeat, but only until the end of the season and if I had a time machine to go back a month when Ten Hag should've been sacked.
But, since we're nearing the end, let Ten Hag trundle on until June and then get sacked. And then let the new regime plan accordingly.

True, although both of those games were during that random 1 month spell under Van Gaal where we actually played exciting football for once.
I think Ole's wins over Pep were far more impressive than Van Gaal's wins over Pelligrini, considering his City side weren't close to winning the league during his second and third season.
In the event that we are changing manager then I think it's entirely plausible that the higher ups still hold the players to account and don't let them down tools. Or if they do, I expect that it will be noted and raised as an issue between themselves or the next manager. I do think there's every chance that they tell the next manager not to rely on 'x player' as they will be sold, if their performance and attitude is clearly as bad as you are claiming it would be. I just can't see it being tolerated at all anymore.
The manager is not our main problem guys. I doubt any manager can make us play like City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Villa or Spurs. We are where we are with the squad we have. That’s the reality.
feck no. That fat freak should come nowhere near this club. He's an idiot.
