Because if they do a good job they could easily secure the job.Why would any of them take pure interim roles when they have permanent jobs at decent clubs? It's nonsense.

Won three league titles and a few cups with PSG. Won the league with Bordeaux tooNo I won’t off back then! What’s he’s done as a manager?
And so the cycle ( I avoided the use of the "wheel" in the metaphor, for obvious reasons ) of managerial life continues.Because they'll have the self confidence to believe they can turn interim into permanent and know with our board top 4 will be enough to make it happen.
Then why not offer them the job ? What do you tell your summer end of season target?Hope Fletcher sore

I've read the article. Can confirm that those names were mentioned.Not read the report but utdreport have been guilty of misreporting information before, as like many have said, they don't make sense as interim.
To make it less traumatic. They do a good job and get to manage Portugal, Inter, AC, Atletico etc.And so the cycle ( I avoided the use of the "wheel" in the metaphor, for obvious reasons ) of managerial life continues.
As interim options? Either journo has got it wrong or we're deluded.I've read the article. Can confirm that those names were mentioned.
And now in Qatar, i don’t want an ex player as interim as I don’t trust our board to not give them the perm job if they do slightly above expectation.Won three league titles and a few cups with PSG. Won the league with Bordeaux too
Yeah, until I actually see a sexual Tyrannosaurus sitting in our dugout as manager I expect us to just keep lurching from one dud manager to the next.And so the cycle ( I avoided the use of the "wheel" in the metaphor, for obvious reasons ) of managerial life continues.
Define easily. Will they trigger an automatic 3 year contract when they reach top 6 or such? Then ok, but then they're not hired as pure interim managers. Without some sort of guarantee or perspective, no way people in a good job would give it up, you see already managers that are unemployed being wary of the interim role.Because if they do a good job they could easily secure the job.
Agree with this.It won't achieve anything. It's simply that Ole's position had become untenable.
The board's hand was forced by the circumstances. Hence why we now have mulitple mega-threads debating potential replacements, since there are no obvious candidates. People wanted 'Ole Out' before they'd even stopped to consider 'Somebody Else In'. That's why most calmer heads were urging the club to wait for as long as possible.
Any fix will come, hopefully, with the interim manager. And then after that, even more hopefully, with the permanent manager.
I've said elsewhere that we're currently undergoing a one step backwards, two steps forwards process. Carrick is the one step backwards.
Congrats on finding the one manager eho did even worse than ole.If the option is Blanc, why not? But hopefully none of these guys are considered.
Arteta?considering this season is almost a write off, I'd get someone who's worked extensively under Klopp or Pep. What happened to that Buvac guy who claimed he was the brains behind Klopps success?.Klopp has gone on to win the lot after he left so he might have been exaggerating his role but I don't see why we can't take the risk with someone like that who should be technically sound but lacks some other aspects of being a manager if we are looking simply for an interim.
If he had a plan, seems like Ole (who had no plan) would have been interested.No one knows if he was implementing Ole’s tactics or if he was the one with the tactics - we’ll soon see
Yeah but I'd take them over Fletcher any day. Plus I think coaching has gotten a lot more technical since then so, good assistants might have something to offer especially compared to ex players with zero experience.Arteta?
Assistants of great managers are always a sure fire option, see Kiddo, McLaren, Carlos Q, Mickey Shorts.
I'd agree on Carrick etc, it doesn't inspire confidence but hopefully that's just for a game or two and the players can pull something out of the bag.We have a lame duck interim-interim to be followed by an interim. So it is down tools time for the players until at least the end of the season. This all could get a lot worse.
Like their wives ?considering this season is almost a write off, I'd get someone who's worked extensively under Klopp or Pep.
Last I checked he was DoF at some Moscow club, I think? Funnily, so is Rangnick. Seems to be the place people go who are embittered about not getting big enough managerial jobs for themselves.considering this season is almost a write off, I'd get someone who's worked extensively under Klopp or Pep.

100% agree - that experiment giving apprenticeships to past players should be done withAnd now in Qatar, i don’t want an ex player as interim as I don’t trust our board to not give them the perm job if they do slightly above expectation.
The calmer heads that wanted to stick with Ole as opposed to the reckless fans that wanted him sacked for Conte or even Tuchel last season?It won't achieve anything. It's simply that Ole's position had become untenable.

Exactly right. Oil money, as far as the neutral fan is concerned, creates a more competitive league - after all, the guys at the top (us, Liverpool) have, what, 50 years of growth behind us. It catapults what would have been trivial and pathetic challengers into supposed titans - admittedly without any of the gravitas or actual sense of tradition or fans actually showing up to games. Bayern are an example (in my opinion) of what Manchester United WOULD be if the likes of City, Newcastle and Chelsea hadn't been 'chosen' to become the playthings of sheikh's and KGB agents laundering their ill gotten Russian oil money. 50+1 would have kept us at the top, but at the possible cost of the Premier League itself being the insane superleague it's becoming now.Indeed.
If EPL was less competitive like it was in 90s, plus far form being best league in the world, Man Utd would have snatched a couple of PL trophies despite not looking great.
I'm sure most Man Utd fans would rather have a way less competitive league and win 7 PL trophies in 10 years than have the best and richest league in the world but snatching like 0 or 1 PL in ten years.
Bayern Munich is the most marketable team outside of Germany, the 50+1 benefits them massively, since it blocks shady oil money from creating new challengers for them.
Well he actually had the guts to get his experience the right way.Rooney has less coaching experience than Carrick.
WTF are some people thinking?
“The right way” okWell he actually had the guts to get his experience the right way.
That until I'm told otherwise it is incredibleThat's a come-and-get-me plea if ever I've heard one.
Who is the USA manager? Maybe the Glazers could sort something like Abramovich did for Chelsea.Would it be possible to get the manager of a national team as an interim ?
I remember when Chelsea got Hiddink while he was the Russia manager.
I’d be absolutely chuffed to bits with Wenger. To be honest I’d rather him over half of the permanent managers we’ve been linked with.It has to be a senior manager at the end of his career who can get instant buy in and respect from the squad. If you hire a younger up and comer, you end up in the same conundrum as Ole if he does well. I can see Wenger taking it, he’s been itching to coach for a while and go out on his own terms. The relationship with the club has gotten much nicer over the years, once Arsenal ceased being a threat.
This is my thinking. Someone who's either retired or who's near the end. They have to have won trophies so the players instantly respect them. So it reduces the chances of it becoming permanent and everyone knows the score.It has to be a senior manager at the end of his career who can get instant buy in and respect from the squad.
