@Bestietom you'd hope so but the scouts can only do so much. If the manager doesn't want them they won't come.
I really hope this is true...I'm not saying I want Jardin for sure, but I want to hear that we are actively sounding out replacement options.Too good to be true, the idea that it could be us. Ed doesn't do that sort of thinking.
One reason I believe Jardim is a better fit than Poch and Zidane is that he's proven in terms of adaptability. He was primarily defensive in his approach until that breakthrough Monaco season when he figured he had all the players to encourage an attacking style of play.I really hope this is true...I'm not saying I want Jardin for sure, but I want to hear that we are actively sounding out replacement options.
I also want us to be looking at Managers based on style, approach and mentality with young players.
The wage structure won't change, due to the arrival of a new manager.Whoever we bring in, the board will have to back him to rebuild. We need a huge investment in this club to put things right, and get us back up there to the top. He will also have to get rid of the deadwood, which won't be easy unless their contracts run out. Some players are on far too much money here for what they give back to the club. This whole wage structure will have to change as it causes too much arguments in the club.
That's exactly what I am thinking.I'm not really keen on anyone, that's half the issue. There's no manager out there who I'd be confident in coming here and turning it around. The clubs in too much of a mess, from top to bottom.
So you disliked the idea of Jose in charge of MUFC, from day 1?I'd rather be midtable under another manager than Mourinho, at least they might at least seem like they want to be in the job. He's a dark cloud, has been from day one.
Arsenal started restructuring in Wenger's last season even before he left. Mislintat and Sanllehi took over on the long term building of the team and Wenger said in multiple interviews that he was being overruled and also made fun of the director of football position.That's exactly what I am thinking.
Personally, I think we need a DoF (or even 2 x DoFs), to reorganise the club, before a new manager steps in.
I hear that when Wenger left, there a completely re-modelling of the way AFC is run, their decision making and who does what. This has helped the new manager to come in and hit the ground running.
Sadly, I just don't see MUFC as a club capable of doing something similar.
As long as that someone plays a attacking brand of football it will be worth it.Whoever comes in has a huge task ahead of them. Alot of shite in that squad to work with and get rid of
Watching Emery coach circles around him didn't endear him to me either.There's just something about Poch I can't warm up to.
I have nothing to base this on, but I just don't think he's a winner.
But maybe he'll help us stabilize and get us playing good/attacking football.
Generally a new manager coming in sees an improvement in the team, regardless of who he picks, as they are all trying to impress. Players that actually look poor in one system can seem like world beaters in another. The way we are playing at the moment makes me think that José doesn't seem to have a system, and really does put players in positions that they are not comfortable with, Pereira on left wing for example. I would hope that a new manager (Jardim for me) would evaluate every player in the squad, and the vast potential coming through from the academy. It could be surprising who he would keep and who would be surplus.Whoever comes in has a huge task ahead of them. Alot of shite in that squad to work with and get rid of
That’s the problem though. We’ve fecked up a few times now, I’m really worried about the next manager.Just anyone who isnt named José Mourinho
If I was to choose it would beThat’s the problem though. We’ve fecked up a few times now, I’m really worried about the next manager.
I have no idea who we should get.
Yes please. Would be my preferrred choice at the moment. Get him at all costs. Woody make this happen.Jardim
Money. Loads of it.Why would Poch come? Why would any coach at a top club in Europe come to United? This is something we should look at realistically.
More hilarious when you consider we hired Mourinho when he got sacked by Chelsea after leading them to a shocking league position.The idea of not hiring a manager because he got sacked for bad results is hilarious. Most managers leave under those circumstances, not many leave on a high.
We made José best paid in the world, that might help?Why would Poch come? Why would any coach at a top club in Europe come to United? This is something we should look at realistically.
Although we are in a bit of a mess. We might still appeal to some managers as we pay top wages and would give them a decent amount of funds, although I think sadly we wouldn't give then enough funds to get us fighting right at the top.Why would Poch come? Why would any coach at a top club in Europe come to United? This is something we should look at realistically.
Whoever comes will get money to spend and a very nice paycheck. It's hardly the worst job.Why would Poch come? Why would any coach at a top club in Europe come to United? This is something we should look at realistically.
I've read quite abit about Rose and I think he'd be someone we should seriously consider along with Howe, Hutter and Jardim.People really should be checking out the work Rose has been doing at Salzburg. Played and learned under Klopp & Tuchel. Won UEFA Youth league. Got to semi’s of the EL ladt year and won all their games this year. This guy is the real deal.
I'm confident that it won't be enough to make him jump ship for United. He is very happy at Spurs and it seems to me, from everything he says, that he really wants to keep faith with our unfolding project.Money. Loads of it.
The problem is Howe is a manager I could fall in love with. And I'm not sure the club or myself are still ready for that. A few more heartbreaks to get out the way before the stars align there I think.Yesterday I did watch the Bobby Robson documentary on Netflix and football fans should watch that. Why am I talking about a manager that passed away? Because there is a young english manager called Eddie Howe that has in my estimates some of the same traits as the late Mr Robson.
Howe is 41 years old and has been a manager for 10 years and knows english football, he commands respect by creating a good working enviroment with clear goals to his players, has clear values, he plays football on the ground and is the first one in every morning and last one out like a Mr Ferguson did. I´ve read a lot about this guy and what his players and staff say about him and I firmly belive he should be the next Man Utd manager. I belive a young manager like him with Carrick+McKenna and a strong DOF is the way for us. It is as clear as day that Mourinho like Van Gaal and Moyes before him has failed in setting up a working enviroment for the players to thrive + we have made some really bad signings also.
I belive Howe has the ability to improve players like clearly seen with many of his purcases for Bournemouth. We have gone for Van Gaal and Mourinho with them being managers with a big CV behind them but could the solution be closer to home so to speak? Was it not one of the mainstays of the Ferguson era to create a calm,postivie atmopsphere where everybody knew their role.
I was actually answering about the second part of the post rather than specifically about Poch.I'm confident that it won't be enough to make him jump ship for United. He is very happy at Spurs and it seems to me, from everything he says, that he really wants to keep faith with our unfolding project.
I think it would be a bad mistake for United to hold out for Pochettino when Mourinho is sacked, because it won't happen and meanwhile other possible managers will slip through your fingers.
