So Barca fired Koeman then. That complicated things.
Or simplified things. They could make an offer we can't refuse for Ole.So Barca fired Koeman then. That complicated things.
Yuck.Koeman to United then? As stop gap at least
Zidane said no
Ten Hag Barca bound after this season most likely, not gonna leave mid season
Enrique tied to Spain hoping he can win the world cup
Ralf, I’ve no idea who he is even so Idk about whether he would take it or not.
Nowadays his brain is scrambled from coke use but even he is on point and he can see that easily.Tells you a lot when the board is more clueless than a coked up fighter.Tweet

Think they're going for Xavi?Ten Hag Barca bound after this season most likely, not gonna leave mid season
Don't think Zidane is interested in Utd.It was repeated a million times. Ten Hag won't come mid season.
Hence, we are left with Zidane being the most realistic and suitable candidate.
We can't waste this season with a caretaker manager.
We have Ole in charge and why we doubt Zidane credentials? It's madness.
Fair enough. Then next best possible candidate is Conte. Both are world class manager.Don't think Zidane is interested in Utd.
The only way I can see that happening is if PSG want Zidane.The original source of that is the daily star.
United finally making the right managerial choice if it is true. Psg is a circus and even though, he is one of the few top manager that can control that circus, he will have more control here at United. At least he will implement a good system of play similiar to what he did at Spurs and slowly building toward that with psg.I don’t understand, Poch would leave now Psg to join United in November?

You mean on our club’s part? Heck knows, only thing I can think of was that he was sort of recommended by SAF years ago. I don’t know if SAF still wields outsized influence on our manager choices but if he does then that might partially explain it. And having worked under Levy, he’s probably seen as more amenable to work under our hierarchy as well.What's the obsession with Pochettino? I actually do rate him, but some of the noises make it sound like Poch or keep Ole for us. He brings different things to the table than someone like Conte but he's not clearly "better".
What are your views on Pochettino? He sticks out a bit to me on that shortlist because while he emphasises a possession based high press game, I don’t think he was really that attacking during his time at Spurs. I could be wrong though.I think the short list will be ten Hag, Potter, Pochettino, Rodgers
And contrary to what some may say, I do like Potter and the ideas he has regarding implementing a style of play which is possession based and aligns with the modern game. I'd be happy with either Potter or ten Hag.
You're right mate, he wasn't overly attacking but what he did demonstrate was that he could create a team which had the ability and know how, on how to apply pressure in a low block, mid-block or high-line in a compact cohesive way. I'm still not sold on him but would prefer him over someone like Conte which i'll explain below.What are your views on Pochettino?

Eh, as a caretaker maybe. I mean if he hits the ground running and makes that barca team incredible yeah he would stay. But how likely is that? Chances are he would get experience and then Ten Hag takes over come the summer.Think they're going for Xavi?

Even though, his record is impressive at psg so far, he is the one manager that can take them to the level that they taught was out of reach. So, I am not sure if psg board will let him go so easily, after recently rewarding him with a new contract
Good. I think these managers you listed will follow through with the recruitment plan and structure that began under Ole and has led us to have a squad people think can challenge for the league. I doubt Conte can do the same and be able to work under our recruitment structure and plan that proved decent under OleI think the short list will be ten Hag, Potter, Pochettino, Rodgers

It has been reported that the shortlist pre-Ole was supposedly Pochettino, Tuchel and Nagelsman. The plan was for Poch to take over after Ole's caretaker stint in the summer, but then Ole won a lot and was hired permanently.What's the obsession with Pochettino?

Paper talk, mate. Conte is who we'll get, I reckon.My word we're going to get Poch and PSG will get Conte.
The thing is, if we beat spurs then he stays in the job until we get smashed of city. If we lose to spurs then he may be sacked and a caretaker probably carrick/fletcher will most likely take charge for Atalanta and then most likely conte will be brought in to park the bus against city and get a point.I think it's going to be Conte and it's just a matter of getting the next fixture, or the next three fixtures out of the way. I hope Ole can go out on a high beating Spurs and then Conte comes in for Atalanta.
He comes off as the guy still riding the early Spurs teams he had, and he hasn't impressed me at PSG either.Pochettino is an upgrade on Ole but not an elite manager. We won't be winning anything major with him.
If we were having this managerial crisis in April then I'd be all for hiring ten Hag in the summer.I don't get the obsession with Erik Ten Haag.
People keep talking about him as 'Young and upcoming manager' yet he is only 1 year younger than Conte with much weaker resume and only 2 leagues and 2 cups in his enitre managerial career, won with (by far) the most dominant team in the league.
He is totally unproven. I don't think playing well occasionally in the CL is enough to convince Glazers he is the right man for the job. They see him as a huge risk.
United and this toxic environment would be a huge step for him imo.
