Could he not buy a win at spurs for the 5 season he was there, or am I missing something?
Let's get Wenger in then, he's won leagues and everything.
Perfect time to take the job. Season is pretty much a write off already and he can start by getting players in January.
Indeed.
I'm not insulting him. I'm saying that some appear to think that he proves that new managers deserve years of blank cheques and unquestioned support and that expecting anything more is not the "United way".
In the short term, Poch will only be a minor improvement but he has shown the ability to improve teams in the long term that OGS hasn't. If a flawed squad freed managers from any expectations, we'd still have Moyes.
I never thought you was. I was referring to the set you described. I'm on the same page as you. I agree, it's utter madness. People have their head in the clouds.
Ah fair enough. Sorry about that. Rereading what I initially said, I do think I was unclear.
How has Ole proven he is a good manager and has proven it? Can you seriously say that you are satisfied with our football this season. If so, standards has really fallen around here. And it's funny how you mention about not bottling, especially after the Sheffield result.
Makes sense to me.
If he signs for any club I’m pretty sure he will sacrifice his payout. i can’t see him joining anyone till the summer, he looked completely exhausted at the end for us. In the Summer he could have Real, PSG AND Munich possibly looking for a new manager.
I'm pretty sure that his payout isn't larger than the potential wage that he would receive, outside of paying the entirety of his contract over the next 7 months.
It’s £12.5 million, why would he sacrifice that when he clearly needs a break, just chill for 5 months. I don’t see any reason why he would be in a rush back. He was talking about taking a break if he had won the CL final.
It wouldn't be a sacrifice, it would be replaced by his new wage and potential signing bonus. The break argument makes total sense but the financial sacrifice doesn't, he wouldn't manage for free and he could easily get those 12.5m from United or an other big club.
I don’t think the finances are an issue, it’s more that it would be good for Pochettino with a break and I think he would realise that himself as well. He was in a Spurs tracksuit just a week ago.
I agree with that, I questioned the argument that Poch would sacrifice his payout if he signed for someone. It's not a sacrifice when it will most likely be entirely replaced by his new wage within 12 months.
Woodward should make contact now and strike a deal for the summer. I suspect that is how it was done with Mourinho.
Yeah, agreed.
Hasn't he been playing a Diamond? Also didn't he use Winks when available and before that Dembele (who was one of the best in the league under him)
This was mentioned last week as part of his severance. If he signs within a certain time, he loses a huge chunk of that package.
Woodward could just ask him before aquiring any new players in January, he does not need to be apointed at that given time. If we are being completely honest we are adding 0-1 player in January so I don´t think it would be a problem for him.
He really should take a break and recharge his batteries, come back firing on all cylinders.
Yea, the job he did was incredible and almost unparalleled in world football. Even Mourinho claimed recently it was amazing how he managed to take that Spurs side to the champions league final and the job he has done the past few years at the club.
That would be the sensible thing to do, but when did we ever do that?
Correct sir. No matter who comes in we need reinforcements in the middle and up front.
I'd be pretty sure that he covets managing a team that at least plays in the Champion's League, which it doesn't look likely that United will be.
1 win and he is back.
Regardless of whether he ends up at United, Bayern or Madrid, Itl be interesting to see him at big club won’t it.
