What’s this collusive nonsense?
This can't be true right? Why would he leave the good job he is doing at West Ham?
Tbf Tunchel was viewed by a few in the same way as Poch before he won the CL with Chelsea
I'd prefer Valverde over the Ragnick chap he doesn't have any experience with huge teams. Valverde's Barcelona almost went unbeaten in LaLiga he's a very good choice for an interim.
God I really hope we find someone and announce it soon, be it interim or perm. I'm just sick of these incessant tweets from journo's who clearly haven't got a scooby.
To make that bank $$$$$$$$$$$. Also I read that he is excited at the prospect of lending his sage advice to CR7.
This is the stance I expected from PSG, they don’t like being pushed about, it’s all ego with them.
If it pushes our attention toward Ten Hag then I’m happy.
He's wumming
Oh no, we've actually offered it to him? And he's turned us down to stay at West Ham and manage Lingard? FFS this club is a shambles. Murtough OUT.
I am not. Please do not besmirch my good name.
Id be surprised if we got anyone night and day better.
Feels like out of the 5 names mentioned he would be the one that would fit the role best. I think he has the capability to go on and motivate the team and at least set them up tactically well enough to see out the season.
Valverde is already a better choice among the list they're mentioning. He won titles with Barca at least.
Feck me never really realised how lowly some viewed Tunchel until I looked at the first 2 pages of the Tunchel New Chelsea Manager thread. Reminds you of the “A phone with no physical keyboard, how I’m I supposed to type my emails, no thanks apple I’ll stick to my blackberry” comments
To be fair, he signed Lukaku for £80million and got very lucky he got injured.
Edit : JFC he cost £100mill and the team is better without him

Maybe for once a step in the right direction at the club.... one can hope
Id prefer him, but he's a steady eddie and not a lot more.
He's not coming during the season either, so it changes nothing.
Do you think that he's quite content in his current role in Russia?
He has turned down quite a few roles that do not meet his requirements or offer the control he wants.
I doubt United would offer him the level of control he wants. Especially not as an interim, and we are not going to hire him as a DOF after since we already appointed our technical and sporting directors internally. Can’t see this one happening.
More likely to go for Rodgers than Ten Hag if Poch is a no go. And even then if he’s not available right now, the board would still choose Poch over Ten Hag come the summer.
You're part of the board?
Can anyone explain who Tunchel is? 
Just realistic.
Ten hag is a pipe dream. Fantastic potential manager that’s been chosen as the saviour by the cafe. All the noise has been around Poch, Rodgers or an interim untill the summer.
Manager of ChelnseaCan anyone explain who Tunchel is?
I think I need to cancel myself for saying that. fecking hell
He’s another tactically elite manager that a United missed out on last season during one of ole’s bad runs.Can anyone explain who Tunchel is?
Is he related to Thomas Tuchel?
Hahaha… or help United and become Liverpool or Chelsea’s next director of footballI think I need to cancel myself for saying that. fecking hell
According to his LinkedIn page, Eduardo Tunchel is Senior Legal Manager at Genesis. He has 10+ years international corporate / commercial, Legal 500-ranked experience. He's also passionate about wine and spirits, holding the title of French Wine Scholar and a WSET 3 Advanced Certificate by the Wine and Spirits Education Trust.Can anyone explain who Tunchel is?
Not really interested in Rodgers, he would be an.upgrade on Ole but not good enough, for me it is between Poch and Simeone, someone who has won leagues and cups and would certainly sort out our defensive issues.
should get on well with Woodward.
I don't really know a lot about Locomotiv Moscow tbh with you, so it's difficult to say. But one could be forgiven for assuming that Rangnick would love to get that extra bit of exposure in the EPL.
Locomotiv Moscow are gonna be taking a 10 week break very soon from what I've heard reported. So it could very well be a possibility, but the telegraph did report in the last few days about it being very difficult to get him out of his current job midseason.

I'm not to impressed with Pochettinos win% as a manager.
Espanyol (09-12): 32.95% ......... United-linked Valverde, who managed Espanyol from 06-08 had 37.37%
Southampton (13-14): 38.33%........Manager before Poch, Adkins (10-13): 54.03%. Manager succeeding Poch, Koeman (14-16): 48.45%.
Tottenham (14-19): 54.27%. Pretty good, better than Sheerwoods 50.00% who managed them for 28 matches before Poch, But slightly behind Villas-Boas 55.00%, who was the last long term Tottenham manager before Poch. Mourinho stopped at 51.16%, but we all agree he's a dinosaur.
PSG (21-): 69% might look impressive, but the three precending PSG-managers had Blanc at 72%, Emery at 76% and Touchel at 74%. And not winning the League is major failure with PSG.
Combined win% whole manager career 47.91%.
Never really understood why Poch has this world class manager-reputation, and looking closer at his history, I still don't get it.
(Hoping for Ten Hag (63.14% total win%, 73% for Ajax))

This wouldn't have anything to do with Adkins playing two-thirds of his games in League One and the Championship, would it.
Admittingly, that was not something I considered. Good point. Still, Koeman raised the win% from 38% to 48%- in the PL. Thats a major difference.
