Are we chasing Chelsea’s tail if he was always our first choice? If anything they’ll just find out he’s not available.
And bizarrely/stubbornly sticking to his tactical plan despite knowing that he doesn’t have the players to do so
His coaching has been horrendous.
Crazy that we have a United supporter asking this question after finishing 8th, finishing last in the CL group, shit football, crap defensively and in attack, -1 goal difference etc...yet here we are.
Is it?
I agree. But it’s one of them. A job like that doesn’t come around to often and it’s very very hard to turn down.
I always thought that Palmer started kicking on for Chelsea when Pochettino changed his attacking formation this season? They couldn't break down low blocks and used to rely on wide crosses, but then they switched to a system where they had two holding midfielders and Palmer was plopped into this roaming AM position where he could get behind defenses? They also inverted their wingers and started using more overlaps with the wingbacks. I'm probably wrong but it's what I remember folk saying.
How else do you expect to have success if you don't have a god-like figure come in and forge a dynasty? You guys could learn a thing or two about how we do things the United way.
Chelsea by all advanced metrics were a top 4 side this season and since January, their results match the metrics. He would be an excellent manager and a strong fit character wise to the club.
A serial loser who believes that lemons give him magic powers?
In an ideal world they would have all gone to Brighton first, proved themselves there for two years and then gotten the big jobs. That's the way to do things.
To be fair, Leverkusen spent years implementing their playing style. Peter Bosz was there.
True, but it wasn't working that well and they needed a bunch of great transfer ahead of this season to fix that.
I dont think Poch is a viable option for us as he would want full controll of transfers and INEOS are highly unlikely to agree to give him that.
It has been an awful season yes. No dressing that up. Last season was much better - most fans then thought Ten Hag was pretty great. Fans will always question the manager. Even SAF was under a lot of pressure in the early years. I really don't know about Ten Hag. He probably should go just based on accountability for this season and on clear and expensive recruitment mistakes, but I could easily seem him doing well elsewhere. The other side of my post is really about the other candidates. We really are going to need to find our next great manager to follow Busby and SAF. That has to be the way to look at it. I don't see much in the likes of Pochettino, Southgate etc. that suggest they have it. If we did that make that kind of change, it would just be another expensive false start I think. Have to find the right man.
If that is true, then hard pass on Poch.
Are there any parallels with the role Alli had at spurs?
Yeah I've always wondered that as well. We'd probably need Bruno to become a beast again due to the amount of goals we'd concede!
Yeah, loser who hasn’t had a premier league season with negative goal difference even at Southampton, unlike serial winner Erik Ten Blag.
The problem is, if the reports about the circumstances of his leaving Chelsea are true, then I don't think he necessarily fits into the structure we're trying to create? Seems more like we want a head coach rather than a manager sort that has fingers in all the pies.
