In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Pochettino or Allegri.
Experienced manager, serial winner, Champions League, domestic titles, twice UEFA manager of the year, relatively low spender, knows the Premier League, out of contract in the summer. It's going to be Benitez.
No reason for him to leave Wales job now.
Don't want to state obvious but Leonardo Jardim fits all the criteria above.
If pochh would be available we might not be the only club for him.
Ryan Giggs as an interim and if he is good, make him permanent. This is the perfect chance to test out someone new for a season that's gone anyway.
Else, Zidane.

I want Eddie Howe. I think he is ready to step up. He is young british and someone who could work well under a DOF. We tried the old dinosaurs. Poch would be my second choise however I can't see why he would want to join a project like ours when real Madrid is most likely after him as well if he is looking for a new challenge.
Honestly don't hope it will be Zidane.

Is the thread about who we want as manager or who we think we're getting? Half the managers in there are not even up for consideration by the club
moyes still has a year left on his contract!
Pochh doesn't have any to leave Tottenham as well. Also Madrid will be active as well if he were to leave spurs.
Ideally out of that list I'd say Simeone, but that's also the most unlikely IMO. So Poch for me.
From today until the end of the season United have to move heaven and earth and do everything possible to get Mauricio Pochettino.
If/when that becomes a dead end, then we start looking at the other (and much lesser) options

That's why I said Jardim is easier to get.

He might have a better squad with Spurs at the moment but I think he's got a better chance of winning the league with us over the next couple of years.
I fully expect him to get it completely wrong.
Don'y know if Giggs has got it in him to do the Wales job and take over for us until the end of the season.
Haha can you imagine it on RAWK? The patron saint of LFC managing their most hated rivals, would actually be worth it just for that
Thing with Pochettino for me as well as my previous reasons is he’ll have a ton of pressure on him immediately for the compensation we’d undoubtedly pay if we even got close to getting him from Levy, and people have noted that he hasnt won anything yet and at Utd, trophy haul is somewhat important. The likes of Europa League, FA Cups and League Cups can placate us for a short time but we’re in it for Premier Leagues and Champions League.
His biggest chance to win the league was in the Leicester season, but even they couldn’t capitalise on the other teams of their stature fecking up and ended up finishing 3rd on the last day, completely imploding.
Jardim will probably come in with lower expectations and not as much pressure, so if he played the amazing football people saw at Monaco, everyone gets behind him and people don’t react like “Well for the £30m compensation we paid for him, that’s bare minimum” for Pochettino.

Poch. Will be incredibly difficult. Other progressive options focused around good football, youth will do. No idea how we are going to get this right, but kind of have to.
Don't think it will be Pochettino, so it's either Zinedine Zidane or Eddie Howe for me.
And yes, I realise that is a weird fecking sentence.

We also had Moyes who didn't, and look at how that turned out.
For me, Howe is the manager I’d seriously consider once our DoF system is working at its most optimum level. He shouldn’t be considered when we’re presumably laying the foundations for the said system.
July is too far. I want someone now!
We don't seem to have the players for the style he prefers to play in Tottenham. Specially the forward players and midfielders.
He wants the forwards to identify spaces and attack it, martial, lukaku, are not the best at that, they have different strengths, were lacking the midfield controllers as well who'd be up for a fight in the middle with the duels.
Fergie anyone?
What about Roy Keane?
That's why we get him so he gets the right players.
Never seen his tactical set up. May be I need to have some research so I voted for zidane.
In a way a poll like this is inherently flawed because as we ve seen with Mou the backroom staff they do or do not have with him is probably almost as important. Having said that, and assuming the names bring some of their current or former staff with them my list in order of priority is this:
1. Allegri - will be my no. 1 wish for the foreseeable future. unfortunately however he ll probably stay at Juve until CR decides to leave. If you doubt why he would be good to the club...watch the Juve doc on Netflix and you might be persuaded too.
2. Zidane. Probably the only coach that would make Pep question his existence.
3. Pochettino. (but he ll need to bring Erikson and Kane with him)

And what about what we have already?
Pretty close to unanimous this one
The Paul Mitchell rumours gives me hope that we have a chance at Poch. Just seems to fit and I think Poch will like the challenge here
Sink or Swim.
I quite like Simeone, but I can't imagine why any United fan would want him when we've just ousted Mourinho for playing dour, defensive football. There's a bit more to Simeone than that of course, and he's certainly not perma-miserable like Jose, but if we want to be entertained again, and not play to nick wins and frustrate the opposition, then Simeone isn't the man to do that.
Thomas Tuchel.
Absolutely loved his football.

We have to get Pochettinho, just think of how badly it would wind up all the Spurs fans on here realistically, as much as I want him it's a huge task to convince him to come here. I wouldn't be against Jardim, Howe or Silva either. I do think Pochettinho ticks every box and then some. I'd just like to make sure we get someone who's more trusting with younger players, we're going to have some great young players breaking through in the next few seasons, just need the right manager to give them their chance.

Simeone is more of a character , full of animated passion and a proven winner !
Also good luck dealing with Levy over his manager...

Poch wont be available i think. Jardim isnt that attacking, still could be too pragmatic.
I would like some exciting outsider, full attacking. Gallardo, Rose or Favre (who probably wont be available). Gallardo or Rose would leave me excited. Of course massive risk coming from River or Salzburg, but could pay off massively after initial learning curve.
