Well what's the point of getting Another director of Football possibly at great cost if manager would still be calling the shots and no Rashford won't be getting new contract even if stays here he just got new one last year .
My point was that I feel Potter would be a pushover with the players. But with an actual proper support system, guess it would be difficult for it to get that far.
Would make for an interesting last couple of months but definitely not ready for it permanently
No offense but enough with that shit.
It depends on his man management, I feel both will be swallowed by the cowboys we have who can't be disciplined enough to be part of a system. Unless if they strike first and get rid of Rashford, Bruno, McTominay and Maguire the moment they walk through the door. Add Casemiro and Lindelof, for quality purposes, to the list of departures and start from scratch.
I’m not sure… He’s slowly faded away at Middlesbrough. Had 1 decent season. He needs to show he can challenge teams, get Middlesbrough promoted and have a season or 2 in the prem to try and keep them in it… do you really think Carrick can compete with Pep though?
might as well keep Ten Hag until someone good becomes available.I don't necessarily disagree with you. He has shown he is not top class. If you add the awful transfers then there is no other choice.
I’m not interested in discussing X vs Y. I’m saying if you’re confident of the view Ten Hag is such a problem that he needs replacing you should have in mind the qualities of the person you want to replace him with. Qualities you feel are lacking in Ten Hag and easily distinguishable in this other candidate. So you should be able to (if you are such a strong advocate of change) be able to confidently suggest that person.
I did a very similar post about a week ago about Amorim who I’ve liked the look of for a while now (link - https://www.redcafe.net/threads/who-replaces-ten-hag.479509/post-31679896). He has the personality and tactical nous I think to make it as a top manager, and there’s no wonder he’s seemingly Liverpool’s second choice after Xabi Alonso.
Hyperbole aside, can you recommend a serious replacement which will return United to the top?
The Chelsea failure is what concerns me, because CFC are a club which, rightly or wrongly, is expected to succeed in Europe, title races and cup competitions.
EtH also inherited a poisoned chalice...
Why would Conte want an interim contract with these players? He'd want access to significant funds and would build a team accordingly.
Just give up already, please God!
I genuinely wonder if some of you think players get a brain transplant or something, whenever they look bad in a certain environment, but then either they transfer to another team, or their manager gets sacked at their current club, and they start improving in a new environment that masks their weaknesses and let's them play to their strengths, rather than how it basically used to be the other way around.
This is my sentiment. Though I'd agree with the sack if we had a good market to dip into, the fact is there's no manager that's a sure thing, or even more convincing than Ten Hag was before he came here.
What’s wrong with Luis EnriqueSome of these options.
Stock fallen quite low but I haven't watched closely so happy to be corrected on that. I also found his style a bit boring with slower buildups.
The addition 3 or 4 quality players in each of the next 2 or 3 seasons whilst gradually shipping out deadwood as well as fixing the wage bill? Sure.
Unfortunately I think we've passed the point of no return with Erik. The performances have been absolutely abject for 12 months now so this can no longer be chalked down to a blip or bad luck.
So rather than addressing my questions or points you just want to moan.
To be fair, these comparisons (as well as comparisons with Alex Ferguson) are cherry-picked; there's a far greater abundance of managers who failed to live up to expectations, despite getting the time to bed in (and many of them left these clubs in ever deeper holes so there's reason to be apprehensive).
Managers don't decide who gets new contracts and he just signed a new 5 year deal last year.
While those are definitely issues Ten Hag has had to deal with, most of us are judging him on how this team performs and plays. And most can see the basics just aren't there, we have no structure or discernible style of play after nearly 2 years and £500m+ spent. I could make a case for keeping him if results were bad but it's clear to see it was because he's been implementing a progressive possession based style of play or at least some sort of style of play. But we look completely uncoached and devoid of any sort of defensive structure and often lacking ideas in attack, his ingame management is awful, his eye for a player is clearly questionable and during his tenure we've had multiple disciplinary issues and fallings out with players. That last one isn't all his fault of course but there's been too many issues for anyone to confidently say he hasn't made mistakes with his man management and contributed to it.
Very good point. I thought the same thing about ETH mind and was very pro his system at Ajax, then he comes in and crumbles to the same United Way stuff they all do.
You would think people would at least glance at the Championship table and call for McKenna instead.
They don't have enough reasons to crib about United need to manufacture some .
The jury is out on Hojlund as the sample size suggest he is more likely to be a miss than a hit. Had a purple patch over 8 games is not good enough sample size.
It honestly does look that way.
We don’t disagree mate.
We can all list the qualities we’d like to see, I’m saying the pretence that people should band around names or not question EtH’s position isn’t ground I have interest going over. My interest, does a manager that loses the games he has in this period deserve to manage this club? The answer for me is no.
Not only are there zero 'credible' links to Potter, there are zero 'credible' links to dismissing the rumour.
3 at the back can be a very good system when done right.
