In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

What’s been that impressive about Spurs? They scraped past a team we battered, and we’re useless!
I think you've read too much into some of the comments. No one is suggesting winning the French cup is a massive achievement. PSG should obviously win everything in France every single year. He became manager in January was PSG manager for less than 6 months of the season and won a cup. In his first full season he's 11 points clear. That's not arguments as to why he's a sensational winner, it's just facts.
His most impressive achievements are by far how he built Southampton into a very entertaining side, and had Spurs punching well above their weight with significant budget constraints. That's why most Pochettino supporters believe he'd do well - not his two half-seasons at PSG.
I agree fully that there are questions about his ability to win trophies - I personally believe he can with the right club, but there's plenty of arguments as to why not. Obviously that is a fair discussion and a fair point to make. My issue is with the characterisation of his mentality as a "quitter" just because he'd want to join us instead of winning the French league and another cup with PSG.
You obviously didn't watch Spurs on Sunday.
Sacked by spurs for not making the next step, and what has happened to spurs since then?
The spurs squad was in desperate need of a refresh for his last few years and levy refused to invest, when he did before poch's final season he bought players he didn't want. As a result poch got increasingly frustrated, most spurs fans I know were incredibly frustrated with levy for not backing him
It would be funny if Poch joined and denied Levy and Spuds top 4.
I think maybe you quoted the wrong post, but I certainly agree with you. Spurs not taking the step up was not Pochettino's fault.
If you call Ten Hag flavor of the month, you are just saying you are clueless. Already back in 2018/2019 he was super high rated because of the brilliant achievement with that Ajax team, at times playing Real, Bayern, Juve off the park. The team was very good, but the coaching was absolutely brilliant and of the highest level.
It actually has been throughout, he had to rebuild and Ajax did get very unlucky a few times since then. That Chelsea match at Stamford Bridge is one of the biggest jokes I've ever seen in the CL where they were literally killing Chelsea until the ref changed the game.
No he isnt perfect, no his side isn't perfect, but the funny thing is that some of Ole's most fervent supporters will be asking these things just to discredit him. Which makes 0 sense.

He is the popular name on caf but I can guarantee most haven't watched Ajax outside of a few CL games.
Like I have said previously, Frank De Boer won 3 back to back dutch titles, look at his reign in the PL.
You just agree it’s one hell of a leap of faith though, to expect him to transfer what he’s done at Ajax across to Utd. There are so many differences between the set ups of the two teams. I get that any manager is, to an extent, a leap of faith though.
Ajax was in a bad spot when Ten Hag joined and he transformed them.
Comments like flavor of the month or anyone can win with Ajax just prove how clueless some people are. Funny enough the same people who claim anyone wanting TH never watched them outside CHL.
I would say each of Poch, Ten Hag, Rodgers and Zidane has positives and negatives. Each of us probably has his own ranking when it comes to those and there are a lot saying they don't want one particular out of this group.
To be honest I am quite fine with each of them (preferring Poch or Ten Hag myself) but really hope we can get him in now. Why waste so much time and bring him in the summer? Whoever it will be needs to get a picture of the squad and start transforming and use the next summer wisely.

Julien Laurens has just said on Talksport that he is confident Utd will get Poch now, with Zidane going to PSG.
Simon Stone is saying that the 3 candidates are ten Hag, Rodgers and Poch. But he also says that he doesn't know if United want Poch. The short video is in the below link.

Comparing De Boer and Ten Hag is ridiculous. Ten Hag was already outstanding at FC Utrecht with quite remarkable change in playing style. Before that he was well regarded as an innovative coach at Bayern Munich where he trained the second team. Personally, having a soft spot for Feyenoord, I hate to admit it, but this is the best coach that Ajax had the last 25 years.
Rodgers needs to be kicked to the curb already. You don't come to United having completely failed in your previous job.
Le Parisien are reporting that Zidane is concerned for his relatives in Marseille if he takes the PSG job, so has doubts about taking the job.

A bad spot? finishing 2nd in the league?
I am not against Ten Hag taking over, the love for him is just a bit over the top. Are you trying to say you watch every Ajax game?
Well it's refreshing to discuss the merits of good progressive managers for once. Honestly, whomever we end up with out of Ten Hag or Pochettino - we'll be getting a massive upgrade
While that it is great news that we don't need to wait 6 months for a decent manager to come in - if this turns out to be true. You have to start questioning how incompetent the board is for basically announcing that Carrick would be an interim until they would get an interim until the summer at which point they would start looking for a new manager.
I mean... didn't they even talk to Poch or Ten Hag's people beforehand?
Is that Bouhafsi guy still around or is he doing politics now? He was the most reliable for French football news. Anyways, the fact that the rumors started so fast and continue to fester with no denials from Pochettino or PSG makes me think the negotiations are happening and this will be done soon.

Pochettino is the right choice for us, lets grab him now,
Zidane is gloating around for his psg job, his fear is that the utd job will taint his soft Beautiful CV.
Get Poch now,
He is modern and tactically astute,
He will do wonders with this squad.

Zidane seems like an absolute melt. Doesn’t want this, doesn’t want that etc.

I watch alot of them yes as well as german football. The danish super liga is so slow and boring that I watch international football instead. Its how I came to love United when I was very young.
I do however agree that Ten Hag is not the second coming of Ferguson, but I do believe the posts reducing him to flavor of the month are plain silly.
2nd place for several seasons mind, which for ajax is a bad spot.
If it’s remotely possible then we have to do everything to get it done now.
Having an extra 6 months of games to evaluate the squad and implement his philosophy will be huge. This cannot turn into a wasted season with yet another hard reset at the end of it.
I’d be split between Poch and Ten Hag but if it’s a choice between Poch now or Ten Hag in the summer it isn’t even close. Get Poch.

As much as rate Zidane's ability to make demands and feck off Real Madrid twice, the guy's coming across as a prima Donna at this point
.As for PSG wanting £10m, compare and contrast to United who are not state-owned and still waste huge amounts of money and make gestures all the time.
Fair enough, like I said, I am not against him as a manager.
What I am is vary of how quickly / successfully he can implement his system at United and with this squad.
It took Pep one season to implement his system with a big budget, a team that won the league. Will the fans give him the time?
I think this is on you know.
The problem he has is that he didn't sign those players. Leonardo did. Mbappe doesn't want to be there, Messi doesn't really want to be there. Neymar is a pain in the arse. Icardi and wife are a pain in the arse. Leonardo is an even bigger pain in the arse. I don't blame him for wanting away from there. Will be great watching the match up between Leonardo and Zidane, who if the French job becomes available will jump ship as well.
Looks like it’ll be Poch
Probably my (distant) second choice after Ten Hag, although I doubt the Board really know much about the latter so I assumed it wouldn’t be him
Think Hag will end up at City

Baed on what? Him and Poch are reportedly our main targets.
Soon enough manager moves will require transfer fees
They pretty much already do if they are under contract.Soon enough manager moves will require transfer fees
