Would be buzzing to see this sort of thing from Stone IF Ten Hag wasn't potentially on the table for the summer

Didn't we sort of get one of those from Ten Hag too in that post match interviewCome get me plea from Poch. If he's keen and our number one target no need to feck around with an interim
Well then no point in having Poch or EVT as manager?Yeah, there is zero point trying to implement a pressing game at the club while Ronaldo is here, it won't work. The job, while Ronaldo is at the club, is to play a system and style that best suits him, People can hate on that idea all they want but that is the situation because you can't drop Ronaldo because of the absolute S*** storm that would follow which would completely engulf the club.
So that is the job of the manager is to put out a team that best complements Ronaldo at this point of his career, which means trying to create a pressing team is pointless.
Most of the posters in here were watching attacking football under Ole for the last 3 yearsPoch being available now and having the rest of this season to really get to grips with the team and the job is very tempting. I don't understand why people are shitting all over him to be honest. He was brilliant at Spurs
But we didn't, did we? Right now we are managerless precisely because Pochettino and Ten Hag aren't available just as they weren't four weeks ago so do you think we are now better off that we didn't take the 'short term option' when failure this season will also impact what we can do long term?Klopp isn't a long term manager? He was at Mainz at 7 years and BVB 7 years before joining Liverpool. He wasn't part of the managerial merry go round like Conte is.
Ofcourse it'll be decided by results who'll stay or go but with Conte you know he'll be gone in 3 years. Because that is what happens everywhere he goes. When you have a viable alternative like Poch or Ten Haag available it doesn't make sense to put yourself through that.
Yeah we can do all that but why? Why not get a manager who aligns with our playing style and one which we have a squad for. It would make sense to gut our squad and start afresh if Conte were to stick around for a long time but not for 3 years. Our aim should be continued and sustainable success not gutting the squad every time a manager is sacked.
Gonna keep banging interim until the summer then Ten Hag drum, however think the club are ignoring that option. Would be absolutely gutted if he ends up replacing Pep at City as I fearIf we can get Pochettino now we should 100%.
This interim manager stuff for 6 months was only acceptable because a target wasn’t available. It’s far from ideal.
Making the semi-finals with Ajax while dominating Real Madrid and Juventus and being 1 kick away from the CL final isn't a decent run.I don't see an outstanding candidate. Rodgers and Poch have achieved nothing of note between them, but would no doubt be 100x better than Ole. We have to be careful "better than Ole" isn't the standard. I really don't follow Dutch football closely enough to be certain of Ten Hag, but to me he's a massive risk. Success in the Netherlands hardly translates well to the Premier League. O know Ajax have had some decent runs in Europe but that's cup competition. The challenges of the Premier League are totally different.
Unfortunately, and I feel so pessimistic saying this, but I don't see any really attractive candidate at the moment. And I don't trust the club to do what is required. Carrick, Phelan, McKenna, Fletcher etc. all need to go too. What top manager would want to work with Darren Fletcher as Technical Director?! What are his credentials to fill that role at a top club.
Yeah same here but the club see determined to make him the no 1 targetI'd rather get Ten Hag in the summer than Poch now.
I just worry about Poch. He likely peaked and I don't find his PSG side entertaining to watch.
It wouldn't surprise me if we ignore him, then he goes to City and continues Pep's work.Gonna keep banging interim until the summer then Ten Hag drum, however think the club are ignoring that option. Would be absolutely gutted if he ends up replacing Pep at City as I fear
Prefacing this with: I'd want Ten Hag over poch.I'd rather get Ten Hag in the summer than Poch now.

Exactly. And the thought of just writing the season off should not be entertained with the squad we have. We can still challenge for the CL and the FA Cup, and while we're 12 points behind Chelsea, we are still in November. No reason why we can't at least be competitive in the league.If we can get Pochettino now we should 100%.

Because don't want City nabbing Ten HagPochettino knocked out Pep's City from the champions league with Tottenham of all clubs. Yes they had Kane but they also started Sissoko, Wanyama and Winks in midfield. I don't remotely understand the idea of turning our noses at him.
That worked well with SanchezBecause don't want City nabbing Ten Hag
Fully agree, got sacked with Spurs in 14th and didn't win a trophy in his time there for all the plaudits.I'd rather get Ten Hag in the summer than Poch now.

This is what Im wondering.Pochettino knocked out Pep's City from the champions league with Tottenham of all clubs. Yes they had Kane but they also started Sissoko, Wanyama and Winks in midfield. I don't remotely understand the idea of turning our noses at him.
Managers are totally different kettle of fish and we need to land this oneThat worked well with Sanchez
Other teams have knocked out Pep's City from the Champions League too.Pochettino knocked out Pep's City from the champions league with Tottenham of all clubs.

Poch now. IMO Ten Hag hasn't proven anything to suggest he's a much better choice than Poch. And in getting Poch now we might salvage the rest of the season. And I think that weighs heavily.Prefacing this with: I'd want Ten Hag over poch.
Hypothetical:
Ten Hag at the end of the season but maybe means we keep Carrick as interim for the rest of the season.
Or
Poch now
Carrick as interim the remainder of the season would be a very tough pill to swallow, but I'd still opt for Ten Hag.Prefacing this with: I'd want Ten Hag over poch.

So did Rudi Garcia at Lyon and he won the league with Lille - Would people turn their noses up at him? Abso-bloody-lutely. Poch is a nearly man and really not in great "form", I guess you'd call it. ETH is probably is in tremendous "form", but also has a lot more potential. I'd much rather wait for ETH.Pochettino knocked out Pep's City from the champions league with Tottenham of all clubs.

Tuchel had some big issues with what goes on there as well, it will be the same for Poch and he might want to jump ship into a club he really wants to manage in the PL. For Poch he'll sacrifice the short term circus for a possible long term he's much happier at.Why would Pochs want to leave PSG? They are like 11 points ahead to win the French league and will qualify in the CL next round.
There really is no other option for Ten Hag in the summer. Unless you think Arsenal(if they sack Arteta) are a more enticing option.Beginning to like the idea of Pochettino.
Even if Ten Hag did come to Utd (he’ll have other options) there’s no guarantees he’ll be a success.
Anyone but Rodgers.
Think it could be Poch then. If he can get away from PSG before January.Seems a straight shoot out now between Poch and ETH.
Zidane clearly not interested and has his eye something else.
Rodgers is Rodgers and would leave Leicester in a heartbeat for United if we showed solid interest which it seems thankfully we havent.
