In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) discuss United's progression to the FA Cup Semi Final after a crazy win over Fulham at Old Trafford. They also talk about the latest on the sale of the club and whether they would prefer to be owned by Jim Ratcliffe or Sheikh Jassim. But before all that they are joined by special guest Natalie to discuss Man Utd Women - who are currently riding high at the top of the WSL. Can they actually win the league?
Agreed. He's played it as perfect as possible.
No anger, no bitterness, no sniping back at him. Respectful but forward thinking.
ETH really is the right man for us.
Very much agreed
Koeman is already named as Van gaals replacement
Yeah, Mou would be incredibly snippy - maybe even aim some backhanded comment about Ronaldo's workout regime (aesthetics rather than mobility), describe him as some kind of horse, aim a dig at his education/provinciality (as he's done before): 'Manager Ole' would be incredibly lachrymose. with notes of hollow cheerfulness. ETH, for all the pre-commencement comments from the media/posters about his own awkwardness - doubly so with now having to conduct interviews largely in his second language - is pitching things almost perfectly...
Which manager currently at a big club would leave his position to manage his country? You think there's any? I doubt it.
Ralf would have roasted him no doubt, shouldering no blame and giving no fecks...
What ten Hag is saying below is exactly why we've squandered so much money post Fergie. And my posts over the years have alluded to the same, where I've mentioned (numerous times) that the decision makers at the top of the chain weren't on the same page when it came to making football/recruitment decisions.
The managers post Fergie, would sign players without the input of the heads of scouting, which has been reported on by Journalists like Daniel Taylor.
That's why it's important to have a DoF, who selects the head coach of his choosing, and puts in place his own team of head scouts/data science head, which will align the whole process where everyone is on the same page. It's a simple process that was complicated by Woodward and the managers he hired post LVG.
The DoF role is a simple role, and hence why you see the biggest and most successful clubs hire from within, due to the process being simple.

this quote is interesting isn't it? definitely makes it seem as though he was looking for a club but couldn't find a taker
He will be grilled further regarding Ronaldo. I hope he is smart and just don't answer any questions regarding him.
Oh God, I hadn't thought of that!
(from https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/gossip today:
"Atletico Madrid admire former Spain manager Luis Enrique as a potential successor to Diego Simeone - but could face competition from Manchester United for his services.")
What's that all about?
They announced Koeman as manager months ago
Oh - I didn't know that.
Clickbait?
Do you really think we're considering sacking Ten Hag and going for Enrique now? Use your head dude.
I'd get worried if Bayern Munich wanted him and to some extent Barcelona.
National team management is basically semi retirement and few managers at the top of their game pursue it.
Yeah, it’s been confirmed a while ago. Or I assumed it had and all talk has been Koeman taking over. Probably followed by Frank de Boer then back to Van Gaal
Either that or someone wanting a part time job between their serious jobs.
Absolute made up link. Pathetic actually.
It is from the 'gossip' page of the BBC.
Explains it then. Poster shouldn't have posted it up
does it mean Van Persie is taking up a coaching role at last?
Our new strikerdoes it mean Van Persie is taking up a coaching role at last?
Ten Hag pulling a Fergie and getting Van Persie out of retirement.
United spoke to Enrique after sacking Ole, that's what that's about.
Cristiano's replacement
Jobs for the boys FC is back babydoes it mean Van Persie is taking up a coaching role at last?
Hope crushed then, nothing to see here
He's taking his internship here.
Not that I'm complaining but why do they always come to us when they are working for coaching badges?
Phelan has vanished off the face of the Earth, so we are always on the look out for bright young things who can operate cones.
Because we're a soft touch and people can just come here, have a bit of banter with the lads and then leave with a coaching badge.
20 years ago, Roy Keane would have tortured you in the Carrington dungeon before he let you have a badge
We are Pewter City levels these days, feckin rolling over for any one letting them pet our bellies and walk away with a badge.
Probably sticking him up front rather than as a coach
would love to RvP come to United as a coach and work with the reserve players while completing his badge....which is a mere formality for him to get his UEFA Pro License
