Would Ten Hag not want to assemble his own backroom staff, as what tends to happens when a new manager arrives, rather than have the board give him one?
I think they are based off the interview rounds, ie they know what ETH preferences are for a 2.Would Ten Hag not want to assemble his own backroom staff, as what tends to happens when a new manager arrives, rather than have the board give him one?
Think that is how it works with him. He brings one of his own men and the club find the rest.Would Ten Hag not want to assemble his own backroom staff, as what tends to happens when a new manager arrives, rather than have the board give him one?
It’s already been speculated Mitchell Van de Gaag will come with, as well as Schoenmaker the fitness coach. I would assume this was just something discussed between them during interviews, getting in a coach that knows United and the league but also someone who he can communicate effectively with, so they’ve probably both sounded out these candidates for that role, i wouldn’t worry he will bring the staff he wants, i can’t imagine he will sign if he has all his staff forced on himWould Ten Hag not want to assemble his own backroom staff, as what tends to happens when a new manager arrives, rather than have the board give him one?
RVP not being confident of securing a work permit just shows how ridiculous our immigration laws are
Really interesting. Thanks for posting.
This is the same person who wrote Ten Hag FC Utrecht review
Imagine if you were bad at your job and couldn't be bothered but your boss couldn't sack you. Imagine if he tells you to buck your ideas up and you just say "no" and explain to him that you have a contract with 3 more years on it and you are happy to sit out the rest of that contract on full pay in the reserves.Players are suppose to be professional. The coach shouldn't need to "baby" them. If I am bad at my job, my boss will give me notice to buck up and get out. We treat these players like normal employee, we expect a certain standard and effort. If you don't meet standards, the club should inform the agent to look for the next club. The problem with footballers, they are classify as asset. I think football needs to be revamp, players are paid on performance and appearance. If you don't perform, then you are paid a minimum wage. Clubs shouldn't be held ransom with such players.
Doesn’t he play as a CB regularly for Scotland? He’s pretty solid IIRC.The bit about retraining players into different positions is interesting. Wonder how someone like McTominay would actually fare as a CB.
Thanks, Brexit!Tweet

Tbf it’s probably a good thing, what on earth has he done to warrant bringing him in?Thanks, Brexit!
Asking for way to much there… just getting a tune out of all the underperformers will be a success in itself. Don’t think we’ll come top 2… the realistic aim should be top 4, decent runs in the cups, possibly winning 1 but obviously we all know in the final anything can happen just like when Solskjær got us to one. A recognisable style of play and consistency and then we should build from there.If ETH can get a tune out of Maguire, Pogba and Rashford and adds a couple of good additions like Rice and Winks, as well as get squad fitness levels up, he could have United back to being competitive and even challenging. McClaren was on our coaching staff for the Treble season.
I think success next season under Ten Hag would be 2nd or 1st in the league, FA or League cup, and europa final/win. Possible especially if Varane stays fit.
Thinks are looking up.
Why does it always have to be someone with a United link? Why can't it just be the best coach available? We need a reset with fresh ideas, not more of the same.
My thoughts exactly. Doesn’t bode well if this is imposed by the club.I just want us to stop this bollocks about hiring people who “know the club”. It’s a roundabout way of saying “worked with Fergie”. Fergie isn’t the manager anymore and the game has moved on in the last decade.
We need a modern approach with new people bringing new ideas.
I may have missed it, is there a source for this?Mark Ogden knows nothing. Van Persie already turned us down. Ogden is just using the usual journalist tweets that anybody can write. "thinking about", "potentially", "lining up". Tired of these so called journalists with their "sources".
Correct , which is why talks of Rene and Steve McClaren returning bothers me.I just want us to stop this bollocks about hiring people who “know the club”. It’s a roundabout way of saying “worked with Fergie”. Fergie isn’t the manager anymore and the game has moved on in the last decade.

McClaren is actually a good assistant and knows Ten Hag tooCorrect , which is why talks of Rene and Steve McClaren returning bothers me.
Can we try Jaap Stam? He said he is interested in coming backThe guy was one of the most iconic PL footballers ffs, feckin Brexit
Yeah. I’m not sure it’s a great idea either. Why is Rene not coaching at one of the top teams if he’s still a top coach? How come McLaren is back at Derby County, for the fourth time, with less responsibility than ever? They used to be good and am not saying they’d definitely be bad now, but I’m pretty sure there must be good modern coaches who move around the top-end Champions League clubs now and then who probably offer more. I’ve stopped following things like that over the years, but there must be a few around each summer.Correct , which is why talks of Rene and Steve McClaren returning bothers me.
Wake up toxic Paul is a goner and couldn't care less about losing the other two either who have been shown to care very littleIf ETH can get a tune out of Maguire, Pogba and Rashford and adds a couple of good additions like Rice and Winks, as well as get squad fitness levels up, he could have United back to being competitive and even challenging.

A very, very long time ago. He would have been in his late 30’s then. He’s now in his 60’s and at the end of a series of flops. He might be useful to Ten Hag, but it’s fair to have some doubts. When was the last time he managed or assisted on a Champions League game?McClaren is actually a good assistant and knows Ten Hag too
They are 2 nobody’s currently, they were relevant 15-20 years ago. We need to move on from Fergie to modern day football. It’s changedMcClaren is actually a good assistant and knows Ten Hag too
