Knowing the Glazers it will be whoever is cheapest and out of contract.
I'm not saying that he's ready, but I don't think we have a "big" dressing room of established stars anymore. Most of them, except Casemiro who I don't expect to be here next year, have won nothing in the game. Who are the "big figures" in the dressing room that could cause problems? Rashford? Bruno? I just don't see it.Too early for McKenna. Managing United requires a big personality that can handle a big dressing room and the massive pressure from outside.
Tuchel for this reason.McKenna but you have to back him and remain patient. Allow him to create his team.
That will never happen. Few bad results and hIs back will be against the wall.McKenna but you have to back him and remain patient. Allow him to create his team.
Pretty sure Erik’s objectives weren’t success right here right now.McKenna. I'm done with managers that are supposed to bring success right here right now. ETH broke me tbh.
Bring in a manager that is flexible enough to work with what DoF gives him. We need to change modus operandi. ETH with his stubbornness is not the guy, Tuchel is too big ego.
I would risk De Zerbi as well.
As does every manager that is failing.Pretty sure Erik’s objectives weren’t success right here right now.

Kind of what I'd hope to see too. And if he's majorly successful, no reason why he can't stay longer. Feel like it's too early for McKenna. Many of the players there he's probably quite friendly with. Difficult to come in and then be their boss too.I feel INEOS would probably want Tuchel to come in and steady the ship while they sort this shit out.
We’re in a process with Erik, that’s for sure. Now if the process is building or destruction, that’s highly debatable.Pretty sure Erik’s objectives weren’t success right here right now.

I think there is very little downside with McKenna. As we are led to believe, the recruitment is going to be a community effort with the Dof, head of recruitment etc. and the manager is going to be only a small part of it. In that kind of structure the manager becomes easily disposable and is not allowed to cause long term damage like they have been with us for the last eleven years. If Mckenna doesn't work out, we can easily let him go without needing much churn when the next manager comes in. If he succeeds, then nothing like it.Tuchel for me, not an exciting choice and doubt he would win us the PL or CL but I'd have confidence in him making us a solid team.
I think the upside with McKenna is greater but the downside is bigger too. As it stands I think there a greater chance that McKenna fails than him being a huge success.
I would monitor his progress and possibly appoint him if he continues to show promise in the PL (at Ipswich or somewhere else). McKenna should be attainable in the future - it just feels like a big gamble when you've got a relatively safe pair of hands available in Tuchel for a couple of years.
You could have said this about Pep, Zidane, Arteta, and Xabi too.Yeah let’s give one of the biggest jobs in world football to a championship manager.
He’ll be eaten alive at United.You could have said this about Pep, Zidane, Arteta, and Xabi too.
Big Sam?Neither - We need someone with a proven record of turning around a bad situation, being able to handle big ego's and creating a new culture with a strong personality that won't back down, ETH seemed like that at first but now seems to bow to pressure regularly.
Not sure he's ever been proven to do it with big ego's or anything more than short term boosts to survive relegationsBig Sam?
Exactly, there is difference between a "Championship manager" and someone who was managing in the championship last seasonYou could have said this about Pep, Zidane, Arteta, and Xabi too.
Since you started touching yourselfSince when did a dice have 0.
