Potter had a glow up but crumbled at Chelsea. The scrutiny would be even greater at United
Who replaces Ten Hag?
- Thread starter Plant0x84
- Start date
Give it Rodgers.
I suppose in some ways Conte would be a clear change of tack. The club arguably keeps trying to find long-term, Fergie-style managers who can completely transform the club from top to bottom. With Conte you're essentially throwing the long-term plan out the window in the hope of some short-term success. Maybe not the worst idea. Didn't end well at Chelsea...but still delivered a title.
Please no Conte, I'm all for giving De Zerbi the opportunity to show what he can do.
He's exciting and fresh and proven now in this league. I also think he's proven himself with lesser players.
Just get ETH out of the door now!

Man manages to sort out the dressing room by simply overwhelming them with a deluge of his bullshit stories.
Doesn't matter anymore. Get Guardiola or Klopp and see them fail at the club. The core is rotten and plastering the cracks just won't do it.
I'd even take a punt on Potter at this point
Feck it. Simeone, Conte, Potter, De Zerbie, Flick, Zidane.... any of them. Whoever wants it. I expect most wont.

Marcelo Bielsa as a caretaker please 
What manager would even take the job at this toxic, incompetently run club? The only thing in it for them is a big payoff when they get sacked for inevitably failing like every other manager for a decade.
Give Carrick a two year deal and resstructre the entire football department with a Director that knows what he's doing. And then let him choose the manager when the right one is available
I think Carrick has more about him than Solskjaer for that to happen, but if it does we go again. I feel like his ability as a player gives him a qualification not many other managers have, how to control a game in midfield. The right DOF is just as important at this point, Carrick will do as long as we replace Murtough properly.
Exactly this. People dont understand that any manager would fail at this club because its rotten from top to bottom
Exactly. This club is a mess and anyone who has a sense of pride in themselves should stay far away from it until the structure changes.
Simeone
Conte
de Zerbi
Frank
Potter
McKenna
I would take any of those right now.
There's no excuse for Ten Hag producing crap football from this team week in week out

What a mess.
Hate this excuse as it's just the same rubbish people come out with trying to support Ten Hag.
Give him time, it's the boards fault. It's nonsense. Every other club can bring in managers who somehow manage to get their players on board and playing.
He nearly died
It doesn't actually matter as long as the rest of the club has no direction. There's no plan in place and any manager coming here will end up in the same spot a year or two from now.
I honestly couldn't care less tbh. This season is a right off regardless.
Nonsense what you mean is why bad manager will end up in this position.
This is just BS, players are replaced, some of them have high potential, but players can't perform without a manager who don't shit his pants and has a clear vision how to play.
Sure appointing manager is not always easy. But it's the manager which brings the game and good times back again. Look at Ange, jsut a good manager selection and they are flying. WOn't win the title but lost their best player and still can do stuff with average replacements.
Zidane. Anyone else I don't give a shit about and won't be supportive.
Gallardo. Out of contact. We can delude ourselves that he is the one.
So Gallardo would be available and ready to come in straight away by the looks of it.
Doesn't matter. Get anyone in. It'll be exactly the same, but at least EtH can get his career back on track.
Ange is in his first season at the club when players actually put in the most effort. Evidenced by ETH finishing 3rd, getting to the FA Cup Final and also and winning the League Cup.
Now look at the shit show.
I’d like De Zerbi but i fear we’d ruin him too
Zidane is the only logical appointment. He has won trophies, he knows some of the players and has an aura.
Bring in an interim, don’t give a shit who. Appoint new CEO and DOF, which will surely happen if SJR bid goes through.
Start offloading players in January and let new CEO and DOF start putting plan into action and sort out the new manager.

It's probably who would want it if asked? Would a Manager want to come here? Whoever comes has to put up with the Egos at Utd .. ETH had clear plan on how to play last season a striker was missing that's it.. he's changed to much at once and he's going to pay the price..
Only real candidates should be Michael Carrick or Xabi Alonso. Both those guys are showing that they are destined for greatness as managers.
Arsenal and Spurs took a chance on two unproven managers and are reaping the rewards. We won't go wrong with either of those 2

All of the other clubs performing well have an actual structure to the footballing side of the club. They recruit players in a coherent manner to ensure that the squad can play a defined style of football. Allowing Ten Hag to dictate most of the recruitment, as an alternative to Woodward dictating it, has just led to a random assortment of players with no sense of identity or style. City, Ajax, Barcelona, Bayern, Brighton etc. all have a footballing structure focused around playing a certain type of football and recruit players to fit the system. No rational club would've spent £100m on Antony or even £55m on Mason Mount for a role he can't play.
Because of the incompetence (selection, overspending, inability to get any value when selling) in the transfer market (Antony, Sancho, Maguire, Mount, Donny, etc), United can't effectively restructure without violating FFP.
He wasn't actually that bad at Sunderland but yes, not exactly shown he's a top class manager. Would just be good to see someone who doesn't take any crap in the mangers job.
We need charisma, presence and strength. Pay whatever you need to pay in order to get Ancelotti. He will work with a DOF, keep players happy and stabilise us during a rebuild.
Maybe De Zerbi has what it takes, but I think it's too early and too big for him.

No I just don't see how anyone can really succeed without us having a proper structure in place where stuff like recruitment is concerned.
Why would Simeone come here ?
Wouldn't be surprised if Ole comes in as interim once again. Or Blanc who was a candidate for that job back when Mourinho was sacked 5 years ago.
I thought Zidane has said he doesn’t want to come to England?
If ETH is sacked, it will have to be a caretaker for six months whilst using that time to find a long term replacement,. Nobody of note will walk into this clusterf**k in November.
Carrick
