Anyone available.
If we can play even the most basic football, that would be an improvement.

Who replaces Ten Hag?

To me it was Ole that played the best football and gave us that feeling of 10 years ago. That feel good about the team and the hope he gave us. I want that back and I'd take Ole back as interim now until the end of this season.
I hated our time under Ole and think he set us back years.
He will do well for like 10 games and the board will give him the permanent job after watching Rio and other ex-utd players wanking over him.
I also think Ancelotti would be better if he were to manage a team like Liverpool or Manchester City that doesn't require a full rebuild although he should still be better than your current manager.
Mid table.
Moyes. He’s ready now
Maybe, but we'd probably have won 2-3 trophies, had a few top 4 finishes, have spent alot less, and have a functioning squad right now.
I'm not saying I wanted it, I hated having Moyes as our manager, but it's unlikely to have been worse overall if we'd stuck with him.
This is one reason I'm not too fussed about Ten Hag going, we've trashed too many managers and players in the last 10 years for me to be fooled into thinking that sacking Ten Hag will solve anything.
Think it's a fallacy of a section of the fan base. They always want change when it gets tough.
Theres a section that pointed to conte when he was smashing it, to Rogers when he was smashing it, and now to Ange. It's just how they are. It won't change.
True, if we are truly about to get a real footballing people at the club then why not just stick with Ten Hag and give him some proper help and support, if things are still crap then get rid of him then, at least we'll have given him a proper chance, and if it doesn't work out will have had time to do some homework on who we get next.
As you say it seems anyone will do right now, just as long as it isn't Ten Hag, and we know where that will get us.
In one sentence exactly what wrong with the fan base at this club. You will want De Gea and Ronnie back too for a right ole time.
I'm just not buying that at all. We've scored 2 more goals than bloody Luton at this stage. Half as many as other teams above us. Our defence is suddenly trash, we spent masses of money on a striker and he can't score... and that's just the tip of the iceberg of issues. There's been zero progress in our actual game, I could forgive goals of we actually looked like we had a plan.
We're only anywhere near the top 4 because the form of others has been way below their average. It's actually just pure luck to be anywhere near after what we've served up. Throw the CL debacle into the mix and is about as bad as it can get with such an expensive squad they actually does contain quality (no matter what anyone says).
Absolutely nobody was talking about shipping out half the team in the summer. Expectations for this season were for something much better than this and to say differently is just plain wrong.
This season I'd have took the season arsenal had last season, which nobody gave them a prayer of doing. I'd have took the season Villa are having, even Spurs and Newcastle who actually look like they have a good gameplan which is mostly affected by injuries. Yes we've had injuries but you can't say we were better when we had those players. Probably worse, in fact. Everyone said we'd be better when Shaw was back and we've just put in two horrible performers performances in the last week alone and he's made little difference at all really, as many predicted.
This.
I'd take Ole as interim until Sir Jim comes, gimme those vibes. Ole's at the wheel gives me so much joy.
If Ole has any sense he’d tell the club bollocks. Once bitten and all that…

I’d take Jose over Ole
Anyone who will play with more than 1 midfielder please
This 4-1-5 formation needs to go

If it is true Ratcliffe is coming in soon and if it is true he will have a form of control, and those are pretty big ifs mind you, then I sincerely hope he has already lined up a replacement.
Jose wouldn't leave Roma to be interim here
I swear to God we have been horrible with our timing of managers. Missed out on so many good managers because of the timing of the sackings. No obvious candidate available again.
But if we do sack ten hag then the candidates available are
Zidane
Hansi flick
Antonio conte
Anyone big enough to handle this chaos?

You forgot Frank Lampard and Graham Potter
Alonso or McKenna for me.
Lets try Zidane. We tried (allegedly) technically competent and that didnt work any better than Solskjaer's pashun. Lets try the insiring figurehead route. When that fails we can go the narco-syndicalist route and all have a go for a week.
No! You can’t just say this because he’s doing a decent job in league 1 and because he was associated with the club previously. He and Carrick were getting pelters before they left and they both along with Ole should come nowhere near the club, at least until the sporting structure is sorted out.
Alonso is an ex-Liverpool knob head and can do one.
McKenna has Ipswich second in the Championship, to be fair.
Still agree that neither him or Carrick are the right option.
The bloke from Nice seems to be doing a decent job, surely he couldn't be worse?
He's actually doing a pretty miraculous job in the Championship.
That's on the idiots. Not me. McKenna was always a terrific coach.
He's doing a terrific job, but if you want to turn your nose up to him that's on you. I'd much rather he did a terrific job for us.
It would likely be McClaren As a temp.
But he wouldn’t because our sporting structure is terrible and incompetent. The limiting factor here is the lack of know how and expertise in a sporting sense supporting the manager. I genuinely don’t think even peak SAF could lift us out of our malaise right now. We need putting in a bag and shaking up!
Yup, I think so too.
Got to be Hansi Flick if we sack ETH, his football at Bayern was unbelievable
The Sporting structure excuse is genuine and I'd like to see ten Hag under a proper sporting structure. However, there are signs that he just isn't the right man even from a coaching perspective. Look at the rubbish he picks on a weekly basis and how he struggles to produce a coherent playstyle or a team who cannot control a game. We shall see how he does when he is purely a "coach", but options will be considered.
I would like us to recruit a high quality Spanish manager, they always seem to be able to coach sides to be technically gifted and we have seen for as long as I can remember united being outplayed by the la liga sides.
McKenna? FFS, this fanbase is hopeless.
I'd take an inanimate carbon rod, at this stage.
Xabi Alonso looks like the one to get right now but he obviously wouldn't come here while competing for the Bundesliga and that ignores his history with Liverpool and the likelihood he will get the Madrid job in the summer.
It's not a great time to be looking for a manager, none seem that appealing, but I think if he wanted it then De Zerbi would be a very likely option for INEOS to choose given his protege (Francesco Farioli) is the one currently excelling with Nice.
It’s going to be Potter, no way around it imo.
