The Caf's Roy Keane.
Penis Lawyer as wellHardly a surprise, the biggest name prior to ETH were LVG and Hiddink? And the latter was an interim manager. The rest were your usual Martin Jols, Schteve McClarens, Koemans etc

Of course he does. He's a tap-in merchant and glorified aggregator who's conned the footballing world into thinking he's a tier 1 oracle. He's probably already got his "here we go" tweet ready to fire the second The Athletic confirm it.Romano has an athletic sub.
I think this feels like a much different appointment as it is. He’s very highly sought after and plays modern progressive football.With United it's become a case of waiting to see how it goes. I thought Van Gaal and Mourinho would get United firing again and it ended in tears.
A lot of work needs to be done on that squad. If he's given two or three years to develop things then he'll be a good appointment. United fans shouldn't expect miracles straight away though. I'd expect at least two summer windows are needed to get things where he wants them to be.

To shut Goldbridge up for a week?Why would we build the team around VDB?
Agreed. Year one is about developing the foundation and identity. Next summer hopefully adding two players on top to take us up a level. Unfortunately yourselves and City are managed by top managers and have top squads so ETH could be very good and we could make 6 great signings and still not win anything until those two sod off. Chelsea have spent fortunes, are managed by a very good manager and are still miles off.With United it's become a case of waiting to see how it goes.

Put it this way, if we fail with him then its safe to say we'll probably never return to the footballing elite until our ownership changes. This is the Glazer's last chance saloon I think.With United it's become a case of waiting to see how it goes. I thought Van Gaal and Mourinho would get United firing again and it ended in tears.

VDB must be shoe horned inTweet

The team is not being built around him.Why would we build the team around VDB?
Yeah but we've been here before with United. There was positivity surrounding Van Gaal and Mourinho, then a tonne of positivity before this season started as well.I think this feels like a much different appointment as it is. He’s very highly sought after and plays modern progressive football.
I also think it represents a huge change in the club direction in general. The background set up is fresh and being modernised which is something ten Hag was seeking assurances over before hand by all accounts.
He’ll have some big earners off the books in summer, two transfer window budgets to play with, his own coaching staff and Rangnick in his advisory role.
looks quite positive to me
Despite all of the "he lacks charisma" reports, this man knows how to handle the media. Not only doesn't he bite on their bullshit, but he also bans them.Tweet

Thus spoke Klopper.Yeah but we've been here before with United. There was positivity surrounding Van Gaal and Mourinho, then a tonne of positivity before this season started as well.
If he's given the tools and the time then he seems like he'll be a success. He's more modern with his approach than Van Gaal and Mourinho, and tactically far more astute than Ole ever was. There is a lot of work to be done with your squad though. Seems like you need at least one striker, a midfielder or two, new full backs and CB's. If anything what he needs most is the time to work and build. If he gets that then maybe he will get United competing again.
Wonder how he feels about a tour out to the Far East and Australia.Will be an interesting summer...loads of players coming and going.
How patient are you willing to be? Could take 3 or 4 years for us to be competing at the top.Let's this be our Klopp, please God.
Have we been here before though? This style of modern, fresh, highly rated coach? I don’t think so. Moyes, Mourinho, LvG and Ole didn’t fall into that bracket.Yeah but we've been here before with United.

I'm hoping that our transfer activity starts really early this summer - for me that'll be the signal that we're starting to do things properly. I'd rather have a lot of new faces who play in a disjointed manner for the first season than the alledged "cohesive" team you'd expect from our players that have been together for a few years.I’m intrigued to see what he does with the squad.
I'd go crazy for the street food but that's just me. He's meticulous, it won't affect him.Wonder how he feels about a tour out to the Far East and Australia.
It happens at every top club. Such a bollocks excuse from Louis.Wonder how he feels about a tour out to the Far East and Australia.
Minimum. Regardless of who is manager.How patient are you willing to be? Could take 3 or 4 years for us to be competing at the top.
As long as there's progress I don't care. We've been miserable for years, the only time I thought we made progress was with that second place under Mourinho.How patient are you willing to be? Could take 3 or 4 years for us to be competing at the top.
Tier 1
If he says so, its definitely happening.
Good to know, thanks.He's as reliable as it gets.
Pretty much agree with your post. I feel that next season will be a transitional one, so our expectations shouldn't be too high with regards to winning the Prem, but hopefully we can be there or thereabouts as to top four, but realistically it could be four seasons before we're able to compete for the top prizes I feel.With United it's become a case of waiting to see how it goes.

Add that to the change in structure and Woodward moving on I can’t say it’s the same tbh

Is it? Just a scapegoat. We have so much other dross.Great that it looks fully done now save some signings and paperwork. Time to focus on getting rid of a lot of players. The big hurdle is that big bloke in center of defense. Maggy.
Don't expect any early transfer activity as he will want to assess the squad himself. Need to give him time and let him make changes over the next 3 transfer windows.I'm hoping that our transfer activity starts really early this summer - for me that'll be the signal that we're starting to do things properly.

You're probably right but I guess I'm just eager to find out if things have really changed behind the scenes.Don't expect any early transfer activity as he will want to assess the squad himself. Need to give him time and let him make changes over the next 3 transfer windows.
But that was based on the money spent and a superficial outlook of the squad. Most of the people here who weren't part of a certain **** never believed that we have the manager to challenge for a title.I mean with the positivity around a new manager for whatever the reason is at the time.

I do like ETH though and his Ajax side play some lovely football. I think for a lot of you if you were off the pace a bit next season but playing some good football and enjoying watching the side then that'd be enough for now. Seems like you're all fed up with the lack of entertainment and direction on the pitch more than anything.
I think they’ll always be excitement and intrigue with a new coach. But this appointment is very different than the past set and does seem very future focused.I mean with the positivity around a new manager for whatever the reason is at the time.
