In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
A league title with Juve these days is about as impressive as a league title with Celtic. Whoever manages Juve is meant to be challenging in the CL. He didn’t do it and they reckoned he probably wouldn’t be able to do it next season either so he got sacked. That’s my take on it anyway.
If he had led Juve to at least a semi-final in the champions league, would he have kept his job? The criteria for the next manager seems to be; 'winning the league is expected and not even a minimum requirement. You must make good progress in the champions league or else you're gone'
Although I don't agree with sacking league winning managers you have to be fair and say that the Juve have every right to want that champions league above anything else: for such a massive club to only have won two and lost so many finals is pretty bad.

Ah yes the Premier league where this seasons champions won its first league title for 30 years with 7 games to spare.
We'll see the view from all people next year if Inter under Conte pip Juve to the league title and they don't challenge in the CL again. Cup competition exits happen just ask this seasons champions of Spain and England.
I'll respond to one of you guys. Ny post was to retort the idea that the Kepa situation affected his ability to govern a team. It hasn't and everyone has seemed to move on. That's why I brought up the league win which wasn't easy this year.
I have an idea, it is bit mean, bit who cares..
All of you With twitter account should start pretedning you are itk's or journalists(not that hard obviously) and write something like #juventus wants #lfc manager klopp for their next boss. So when the "big boys of the press" pick it up, it might unsettel * and their manager, and he leaves, maybe it will work, you never know...

Roma would be a good job for him I think although Fonseca did alright last season. Probably will end up at Inter before too long.
Should never have left napoli
I like this idea, unfortunately I don't have twitter though.
Probably not Poch then.Tweet

Sarri seems to be the hardest wooouurrrdddd
Pirlo!
Pirlo to be the new Juventus manager. What was all that noise about Pochettino earlier?
David Moyes to be the manager "it's great to be back in this part of the world."

Such an odd move...why do these clubs insist on bringing ex players back as managers?
Get the best person qualified for the job

Perhaps it's because this method works and the method you're suggesting only works for technical jobs like being an engineer or working construction? Companies all over the world do exactly this every day. Culture and management go hand in hand, it's got nothing to do with a CV.
Porto's Conceicao and Roma's Fonseca are being touted as a potential replacements, mostly to appease Ronaldo, even though Pirlo seems to be the frontrunner. He was spotted attending an emergency meeting at the Continassa headquarters earlier today.
Can't believe they are not asking Pirlo to prove in lower leagues before getting bigger job.
Yeah exactly. What exactly does Pirlo know about managing a big club and winning things? He wouldn't have got the job if he didn't play for them
Give it to Giggsy til the end of the season.
It's all nepotism.
What the hell is this Fabrizio guy? Why is he so reliable and in the know compared to anyone else? It’s mental.
At this rate we're one step closer to Stevie G Liverpool takeover.
It's a bit mental, isn't it?
I assume they think he'll have the same impact Guardiola did when he took over Barcelona. Who knows, really.
Death to mega threads?
Same here, Ish. I can't profess to being a staunch Napoli fan prior to his Chelsea stint but the reports on here were generally glowing.
Didn't quite transpire like that. Hope you're keeping well btw pal
To be fair it’s not gone that bad in a lot of instances has it? Obviously Zidane and Pep are the unequivocal success stories that every club will be hoping for, but even below them, Ole and Lampard have done okay, and Arsenal seem to be happy with the direction that they’re going in. It’s not a bad move really, and it’s not difficult to go your separate ways if it doesn’t work out.
Sometimes giving a shot to the unknown quantity is worth it rather than immediately going with the known quantity.
A couple of our chefs are big Juve fans and they seem to think Pirlo is going to have Lippi in with him as a sort of mentor.
Pirlo new Juve manager, official.
Yeah nead a new one for this news.
Please no
Now with Pirlo and hoping Agnelli cuts off this Portugal / Mendes bond for good. Go full Raiola, instead.
Boh, Raiola isn't an angel either.
I think people speculating about any foreign coaches didn't realise that Juve just had ONE foreign coach (Deschamps for a single season) since 1974. ALL other coaches were italians so it was always likely that someone like Pirlo will get the job.
I bet they’d make an exception for a Guardiola or Klopp.
He is onboard since the Nedved saga, though... he moved Kean and got them De Ligt, he also controls Donnarumma and Haaland. Mendes is more of a high-level, too-well-connected, international football mobster.
Guardiola has at least a connection to Juve so yeah he'd be one of the few foreign candidates that are at least feasible from Juve's side but not like that is relevant atm (Guardiola is going nowhere).
I would have doubts regarding Klopp, there still has never been a german coach in Italy (well technically Völler for 4 games but yeah...) and Klopp himself said he would never coach in a country where he doesn't speak the language because communication is such an important part of his work.
Poch fanboys will be happy. Good luck to Pirlo such a rookie in management will need it.
Apparently Juve had their minds set before the second leg against Lyon.
If so, no wonder the team looked as stale as it did.
