Well could say the same about Tuchel who also got to a Champions League final

Same here
Difference is, at PSG he’s not allowed to change things.
Has ten Hag proven to manage big egos at Ajax?

And now we miss out on ten Hag? Who will end up going to city to replace pep in a year
cheeky bid for pep?
Agreed with most of what you said but just for arguments sake we actually did the opposite of the “wait and see” approach by hiring LVG and Jose when they were available and look at how their turned out. Although to be fair, both of those two got us trophies l.
I don't agree with it but accepted the fact this board has to see whether Pochettino can succeed here even though it means missing out on a potentially elite manager in Ten Hag
A fair point. Would PSG fans rate Tuchel more than Poch though? I havent seen much of Tuchel's PSG to comment here, and I wont pretend to otherwise.
Might as well give them Pogba now too
Poch for me. Knows the Prem, really good rep for giving youth a chance, and generally seems to be a very good man manager. Could be an excellent long term solution. All in all a proper manager
I've just listened to Carrick's presser. I hope I dont have to listen to too many of those. He "Erm's" before nearly every sentence which will give me a tick if I have to listen to too many of those

They were very good to be honest, I believe he took them to the UCL final too. That last season though there was just too much unrest between Tuchel and the club
Yeah like I said earlier this is my fear as well but he also won't have the structure in place here as our yankee jokers aren't willing to give him that platform so that's why I see us going for Pochettino
Nooooo
Woodward will not be keen on ETH for the same reason ETH would not be keen on us for the same reason Klopp was not keen. He will not have an infrastructure around him targetting football criteria, but rather commercial criteria. Poch is a better fit with that.
Oc we all wish the Glazers didn't exist but realistically they do so ETH seems unlikely if Poch is also an option instead. The danger is that they will then feed Poch the wrong players like they did Ole and we will be back at square one.
Hmmm strong PSG source this and suggests he isn't leading the race over Ten Hag quite as much as bookies believe

Thank you so much for also highlighting this fact to our fans who think we are just passing on him for no reason
I’ll cry if we appoint Poch. I don’t want him, ETH please.
He's basically covered all bases there. The fact that Poch 'feels like he doesn't need to respond to the rumours' for me shows he wants to leave.
It's possible that we're being gas lit by Woodward and the plan is actually Bodger. There is a certain logic to that.
I have voted for Brendan Rodgers. A consistent overachiever who advocates playing decent football.
I read the piece. Does say they’ve opened talks. But also says they’re still looking at other options and even that Carrick could yet have it until the Summer
The tweet is based on the article and is pretty accurate.
I'd be happy with Pochettino but i'd rather we take a risk with Ten Hag..

You're working under the assumption that:
1. Ten Hag will be a success here or at City
2. Ten Hag is guaranteed to come here
And are you willing to waste an entire season and missing on everything in the hopes that Ten Hag will not only come here, but be the next Pep? That's quite the risk.
Well, not exactly. We waited for both LVG and Mourinho. LVG was contacted before the World Cup and he agreed to join us after. Same with Mourinho when he was sacked from Chelsea. At any rate, regardless of whether Mourinho or LVG failed here, they were smart appointments at the time. Obviously, didn't exactly work out, but the club had the right idea. Sticking with Ole is what got us into this mess. And of course appointing Moyes in the first place. These two grave appointments (Ole and Moyes) basically made us slog through a quicksand and all we've been doing since then is attempting to get out.
I agree.
We are gagging for a guy Spurs fired? Plus Fergie likes him. That is enough for me to dislike him.
ten Hag is the guy we should go for especially if as reported he wants to come here.
There's also the fact that virtually all the journo's have said today he wants it, potentially now, there's virtually no reason to leak that from United's side, that has to have come from Pochettino's

My guess is we'll start hearing reports of Zidane being approached by PSG after the City-PSG game. Then Zidane will go there and Poch joins United.
This can be de-risked substantially by getting ETH to sign a pre-contract to take over at the end of the season. Then we go get Blanc or (heaven help me) Bruce or whoever until he starts
Pep Guardiola is my idol Castles going in strong here once again.
First off, at the moment there is no real indication that Hag even wants to come here. I wouldn't put my faith in rumors and what not. Second, your scenario basically means we throw this entire season away, potentially miss out on top 4 which would be an unmitigated disaster given our wage bill and players, waste a year out of these players careers (almost all of them are in their prime, not young kids) and then have faith that Hag would turn successful. What if he is not though? What if he fails? What exactly do we do then? Waste another season?
The facts are ideally neither would take it until the summer then could get Ten Hag
I know this may be a WUM but you should wash your hands, mouth and brain for typing this out. I'll also go wash my eyes after reading it.
I can’t imagine what motivation he would have to sign a pre-contract.
They’re 11 points clear in Ligue 1 and have already beaten Guardiola’s Man City this season in the Champions league
I take that he’s not got a defined style instilled at PSG but it’s not like he’s doing a terrible job.
I get what your saying and Ten Hag is my top choice too but IF he won't take it now what else are we supposed to do
Him not fixing Dele Ali and him dropping Moura for the Champions League final go against him for me but we could do worse for sure.
Conte, Guardiola, Jose and Klopp I would say are the best managers of the last 10 years.
To compete against them we need the best of the rest and there's an argument for Pochettino. His Premier League experience puts him ahead of Ten Hag and even Zidane for me.
It's a shame we missed out on the top top managers by picking Moyes, LVG, and Ole.
I would actually want Jose in charge again with this squad. This is the type of squad he wanted in his 3rd season.
We'll never know if he would've been able to build on his 2nd position if he had been backed with the players and money that Ole was (Maguire, AWB, Bruno, Sancho, Cavani and Ronaldo).
There's no doubt he would've done better than Ole did with the squad this season though.
