This is the most likely outcome
What if Pep stays for another year or two? Would Ten Hag be willing to wait that long? His reputation is about as good as it can get for being an Ajax manager(unless he actually wins the CL). He'll be 52 in February and he has never managed a top team before, so surely he must be feeling a sense of urgency?
My feelings exactly.
More Pep than Jose. Finding faults in his players to improve upon even when they’re winning. It’s that neurotic rain man coach style
Yeah, can't see him not going there. Pep will leave in the summer or after another season. Barca won't sack Xavi anytime soon, maybe Madrid but doubt he'd be happy there. Bayern are set. Dortmund maybe but feel he could do a step better
Maybe it's time to move on from the outdated manager role.
It absolutely is, that doesn't mean United will do it, though.
Agreed, I keep saying this. Utd are rooted in the past and obsession with the Fergie era. They miss why he succeeded rather than the role he had. We need a DOF, a CEO who runs the club on footbal grounds and a robust recruitment and youth system that are properly funded and run on the same basis. Its a disgrace that we havent won the FA youth cup in over a decade.
Probably, but also makes my point. Regardless of the source of their dubious funding, City have built an excellent football structure that will survive changes in management and have a clear plan. No doubt already there is a short list of 3-4 managers (which I dount includes Rodgers). Contrast with United, absolute clueless sh*t show with no long term plan, no football structure, and clowns in charge.
We are a decade late to the party, but our current structure wont change.
Looks a bit too much like a super villain. Bad PR for the club.
He's 'Stone Cold Steve Austin's' twin brother.
He'd play Bruno on the wing. The same happened to Ziyech, which isn't a bad thing. Ziyech was put there because he took too much risk with his passes and lost possession a lot. But on the wing it's not as dangerous as in the center of the pitch. Ziyech thrived because he was able to roam and still create a lot of chances and make "risky" passes, while also not worry too much about losing the ball.
The next 3 years are far more important than this one where we're already out of the title race. We just need someone who can help us 4th right now.
Right now we need a proper coach much than a manager imo.
If we go for Ten Hag, him without Overmars would be quite risky. I don't know how well Ten Hag would deal with our management structure. By all accounts Overmars is the brains behind the Ajax operation.
He became the management structure at Utrecht and did very well there.
Thats why we need to get him in with his mates.
Yeah there is no doubt he needs a certain management structure in place to succeed much more than Pochettino
Yeah unfortunately our old fashioned board aren't willing to accommodate that
Why? He was succesful at Utrecht where he became head manager and technical director. Definitely different levels yes, but his career doesnt show inflexibility at all.
What I mean by that is Utd aren’t willing to give him the level of control he wants, unlike City with the Barca backroom lot
He doesnt have that much control at Ajax where Van de Sar and Overmars do most work behind the scenes and identify the players, long term squad, contracts etc, and had all control at Utrecht.
Hence why I would love to get them but we will keep faith with Murtough & appoint Woody's pal
