I hope your right mate. We desperately need to improve our play.
Thanks for answering the question about my Post, Pascell. You’re correct, I asked the question about Mckenna being introduced to the coaching staff, on the back off the posts that I’ve read that McKenna will have no influence in the first team.
Again I ask the question, why would Jose have him in his team if he wasn’t going to add anything to his team? Why would United pay his increase in wages (speculative from my behalf), if he wasn’t going to add anything to the team?

I’ve watched the under 18’s a lot this season and I highly rate McKenna.
I hope your right and he is given the opportunity to bring his ideas to the table.
The way you wrote it sounds like an statement than opinion. Especially at this time for the public, we don't even know whether McKenna even worked one day with our first team yet.
Thing is likely to change as assistant manager is important. Here Rui Faria gets huge role in first team training and has been with Mourinho for ages. Mourinho is not stupid enough to treat different players the same, let alone different coach. For good or for bad, time will tell.
Who has said he won’t do anything? Coaches are there to ensure that the managers vision is coached throughout the team. Mckenna is a top coach, so promoting him is a no brainer
We need more than that though. We need fresh ideas to be brought to the table on how to set the team up to attack.
I have major doubts that Mourinho will deviate from his style and I don’t think he will take other opinions on board as it would constitute a complete tactical change on his part.
Just an opinion mate. Like they say, opinions are like arseholes, we all have one
I don't agree, but there is something really wrong when expressing your opinion and not one but other people also see as a statement. Please consider the inputJust an opinion mate. Like they say, opinions are like arseholes, we all have one
Thats a ridiculous thing to say. I know you lot are down on Jose but he isnt a fecking idiot.
Why do people have so much an issue with Jose’s tactics? Rather than his tactics, I personally think the personal are missing to apply those tactics. Of course, we can improve tactically from last year but those tactics got us 2nd, in an FA cup final last year & trophies the season before.
Jose is one of 5 different managers to have won the PL since SAF retired, so why is it Jose’s tactics outdated?
Klopp gets applauded and he’s won sweet FA!

Like the looks of our potential new manager in few years time. If he fails he can always take a role of young Daniel Day-Lewis.
Mourinho would be wise to allow him and Carrick have influence on how we play.
Well McKenna will be running and organising training so I'm guessing it will influence how we play.
I don't expect Jose to suddenly play in a completely different way and go completely gung-ho, but hopefully the cohesion among our team improves, and we can hopefully play with more intensity and a higher tempo.
News like this makes me wonder are we finally starting to get our shit together.
It remains to be seen if it works yet, but either Jose or the club has recognised something needs to change and we need to modernise and get some young blood and fresh ideas in the hierarchy.

I'm cautiously optimistic about next season, if Jose really does let McKenna and Carrick have a tactical influence on our play.
Not sure he will be involved with tactics as such, but I think we now have someone involved who will make sure they work on attacking drills in training, because I am convinced that we haven't been doing that. I will make a big difference. I am just hoping that Jose does listen to Michael and Kieran.
It may even be a board decision, putting pressure on Mourinho to improve our overall play. If it works and McKenna (along with Carrick) can get us playing to a good tempo and style along with a winning mentality, we could have a very good season.
This is potentially huge news. Mourinho taking a more SAF like approach.
Will this get people off Jose's back a bit now?
Doubtful. People will complain about anything. If we improve it's purely McKenna if we don't it's Mourinho's fault for only letting McKenna pick up cones. There will always be a way to spin it for the moaners.
What does Kieran McKenna actually do?
Of course it will to a extent if our style of play improves. But we have to wait and see if it does first.
Doesn't matter who We appoint or which players We sign, I just can't get that excited anymore.
Can't wait for the season to start.

Good. Our attacking coaching, or lack there-of, was dreadful last season.
He selects the brand of cones we will be using. GPS-enhanced. Then makes sure the cones are placed in the right locations for training.
He better wears shorts!
This can only be positive. Some fresh ideas certainly won't go a miss.
Mourinho to be their assistant 
He can hold 3 footballs at once.
So are you excited or not?
'You're'....not 'your'.
If people find it confusing, use the fully worded version - 'you are'. Nothing wrong with this.
If you are feeling fancy, then, you can replace the 'a', with an apostrophe, like this:
you are >> you 're >> you're
I hope someone finds this useful.

Definitely not. I work with a couple guys from England, they never get it right.
Might have to do with autocorrect too.
Thread has gone sideways.
