He won the league in both seasons he was there and took them to a CL final. They were stupid to get rid because he was outspoken, but he managed them just fine.

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.
Tuchel made a champions league final and won the league every year didn't he?
Didn’t he win the league every year & make a CL final? Wish we had that kind of amateur.
Are you trolling? He went to a CL final with them
For the talent upfront, their midfield is bang average without Veratti.
Side passes and back passes with no creativity.
Poch decided to play a CB as LB and they never posed much threat. That Mendes kid who came on changed things, not sure why he didn't start.

A one man team, Verratti that is.
He only made that CL final after being made to look an amateur by Ole’s red army in the round of 16 the previous year.Are you trolling? He went to a CL final with them
But yes, it was harsh and an overgeneralization on my part which made it a bit of a stupid post. Thank you all for pointing that out.
So pattern of play, good coaching wins football matches.
Well, didn't happen yesterday.
PSG coaches had no clue.

They will have serious problems facing teams that can press and counterattack effectively, because their big-name star players hardly press or track back. They may blitz some teams but on days when things are not going well for them upfront, they may be in trouble. It would be interesting to see how they would fare against a team like Bayern Munich.
He won't, and he probably doesn't feel he should since he's been their best player this season thus far.
I'm just not convinced MNM are a great fit at this point in time. MSN were a way better fit and had a younger Messi.
Messi worked harder off the ball then than he does now, and Suarez worked harder than Mbappe ever did. Neymar is a better overall player now, but he was more direct back then and made more runs from the left channels. Now he comes short for the ball a lot(mimicking Messi), so Mbappe is their only runner into the channels. He's extremely lazy without the ball(as is Messi) and Neymar doesn't work as hard as he used to either. They have to essentially hide 2 defensive passengers in the modern game.
Early days, but I don't think it's optimal.
They're behind the likes of Bayern and City. Great players upfront but great teams need balance.
I thought darling Poch will destroy teams left, right and centre but Brugge looked better for most of the game yesterday.
Oh well at least he won a French super cup.
To quote a cafe poster: "Any manager from division 3 to PL would set the PSG team the same."

I said this last season and I am still of the same opinion. PSG are essentially an 'all fur coat and no knickers' type of team. Fantastic attacking play when things are going well, but easily exposed when things aren't.
To be honest, I do not think Poch is the issue and it is more of a cultural thing within the squad of players they have there. Maybe someone like Ramos can change that, however I am not sure.
Either way, they'll get out of their group and I suspect to the Semi final or something. However, they won't go any further as once they come up against a very good side with the right attitude they crumble.
It’s nice to sign a player who will spend all the time at club like on holiday

This can easily happen when you sign old players who won everything only because you offered more money than any other team. Plus they know their season in France doesn't really start before February / March. Of course this can still work out well for PSG but Premier League teams can't afford it.
Indeed
PSG is obsessed with signing top players past their peak... I'm pretty sure they will go for the likes of Benzema,De Bruyne,Kroos, Lewandowski,etc once their current teams don't need them anymore, and let them leave.
But i get why they are doing it, no way the likes of Messi,Ramos,Buffon, Benzema,Kroos, etc would be down to play in Ligue 1 at their peak...so they have no other option , but to wait for top players to get a bit old in order to get more chances of convincing them to join PSG.
In order words he is not an elite manger.
Who took a pay cut to join United....
Stop wumming. This is the PSG thread
No, he didn’t, highest paid player in epl history
Just having fun
He did and he is still the highest paid player in PL history.No, he didn’t, highest paid player in epl history
No, he made more money with United than he ever did with Juventus. Juventus was not paying him 500,000 a week but that’s a topic for a different thread
He was paid 30 million net at Juventus.
Stop feeding the troll
Yes, we can start a thread about facts folks conveniently want to ignore and take this there
You were telling me he joined Juve for the money? If 500k is a step up from Juve then what was he earning at Madrid? Youre all over the place
He was on 26 million per year at Juve and is on 20 million at United. Matters not what he's paid here in Italy he was on more. Hope you find that amusing as well!No, he didn’t, highest paid player in epl history

Are you being serious? Ronaldo left Madrid because of money. Flo Perez did not want to pay Ronaldo what he wanted so he went to Juve.
https://salarysport.com/football/player/cristiano-ronaldo/
but that’s enough, I was simply having fun about Ronaldo, carry on as this is the psg topic, didn’t think this would get derailed the way it did.
So if 500k is a step up from Juve so that means Juve were paying him less and if he moved from Madrid to Juve for the money that means he was paid less than that again while at Real.
It’s absolute nonsense mate. Drivel.

1-0 down against Lyon.
Currently losing at home to Lyon.
U must be lyin'!
If I was a betting man I'd bet on PSG getting a red card now. I'm not even watching the game, but I know that they will throw a tantrum soon.
Gutted, I love a good uber rich oil money club doing well story. Would be such a shame if they lost.
Di Maria on a yellow too.
Imagine that your offensive lineup is - Di Maria - Messi - Neymar and Mbappé and you struggle to score goals in the French league.
I honestly don't get it

Neymar earns a penalty by dragging his defender on top of him.
Or against Club Brugge.
Yeah, shite decision that was. VAR shocking as well.
