I‘d seriously take Benitez over Southgate
Who replaces Ten Hag?
- Thread starter Plant0x84
- Start date
I just don't have my hopes very high with regards to anything that is happening with our management. Decade of gross mismanagement has got me used to disappointment. I think we are getting overly excited about appointments like Berrada, Ashworth just like we did with Mourinho, Ten Hag and Van Gaal. Maybe they will be great, maybe they will be bad. Let's see.
feck that. I’d rather keep ten Hag than bring in that overhyped and overrated prick, Southgate.
One can only hope. People who I'd prefer to have managing Manchester United next season instead of Gareth Southgate:
Erik ten Hag
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
David Moyes
Kenny Dalglish
Tenpoless from RedCafe
English players love him.
United players would love him.
United players would love him.
So you would be in favor of United hiring Southgate?
They'd love to drop him in it as he's hounded out the door. What a soft target for the players to throw under the bus compared to the likes of Mourinho and Ole.
The most important part of your comment is the “and etc.” because we all know Alonso isn’t coming and Inzaghi isn’t known to speak English. So then the real question is - who is clearly an improvement, the right fit, and available?
Lot of names around, not many that check all our boxes.
Might as we reappoint Moyes as go with Southgate. Be a disastrous choice.
I think EtH should be given some time with the new Ineos structure.
This season has been trying, but we are a game off a cup final and in with a shout for the CL. This with a mammoth injury crisis.
He's not blameless, but when we consider the alternatives there is nothing particularly better emerging.
'Anyone is better than this' is but hyperbole.

Southgate never in a million years, he's the Mason Mount of managers do not want.
Awful for England awful for United.

Should give him the start of next season under the new structure and see how he gets on.
Id take Benny Hill!
I saw the Telegraph piece that United want the manager role to transition more into a head coach role. With recruitment of players falling to Ashworth/Berrada
In that case what responsibilities will the “head coach” have and how will it differ to previous years?

None of the top 4 names on that list would be any improvement on Erik IMO
Luckily a shite source
Muppetiers were saying back in November that they wanted a 'younger coach' and McKenna was one of the names mentioned. They just want someone that focuses solely on the coaching side. Less emphasis on other things like transfers etc.
do remember it's international break, so there is a void to fill
Nobody could have forseen the horrendous run of injuries weve suffered, many of them long term, so ETHs plans went out the window very early on; but that said hes been let down by other players who though fit have often failed to turn up.
God awful
Bad
Risky
Bad
Bad
Bad
Wouldn't come
Risky

This is why an audacious approach for Ange or Emery would be very justified.
One for nightmare fuel. Southgate's at the wheel chant
Southgate’s at the wheel
Tell me this can’t be real
We’ve signed Hendo, Sterling and Dier
Wish we’d found ourselves a different buyer
Lala La La La La
Biggest joke in English football
Oh what a fall…..
well I won the Master League on PES so it should count for something.I’ll even prefer Rooney over Southgate. If we want a mediocre English manager, rather go with a club legend.
Not that it's relevant but I'd take moyes over Southgate any day.
Makes sense.Yes!
*I am not United fan
i dont know how to start….
As if we are in for him
As if he would turn us down if offered the job
this media pile on is viale. Imagine what would be happening now if we had lost to Liverpool
same here
I’ll be more than happy for United to take the L and miss out on Southgate.

There’s no way the Southgate rumours are true.
Not a chance.
Potter I can see, but not Southgate.

Both English names too. Wouldn't be surprised if a few more came out like Eddie Howe or the like. To be honest there's not many decent English managers so it's slim pickings
I don’t think Ratcliffe’s going to be fecking around gambling on whether Southgate is good enough. He wants to see some success with the money he’s plowing into United. He’s not a young man.
Personally I think it’s Southgate’s agent doing all this. They‘ve seen that we’ve got new owners/operators and one of the new key men is Ashworth who used to work in the England set up, decided to capitalise on that and that should be the story. Southgate‘s pretty much out of contract after the Euros so it’s a negotiating tactic with England possibly.
If you asked fans of the other 19 PL teams if they’d take him as manager to replace their current manager, I’m fairly sure at least 15 of them will say no.

I get the impression that unless things go horribly wrong till end of ETH is safe.
While it will help his case, I don’t think getting CL or fa cup win will define the decision.
If we have a strong finish in our final 10 league games , it will actually of been a solid half a season since INEOs took over (and more players back from injury).

15 is an optimistic take
If there's any truth to this then as been said it looks bad on Ratcliffe and does cast doubt for the future with him. I don't think Southgate will be our manager but I do think this is more than paper rubbish unfortunately. The sooner he can get all the other appointments in place the better and build a proper long term plan.
Simple answer to the question is Nobody!
Southgate is overrated, I think he is lucky that England has one of the best squad in the world. If he comes to United, I suspect he would setup defensively and play on counterattack. Ole 2.0 where team will rely on individual brilliance to win a game. He would be sack in the 2nd or 3rd season.
The Southgate links are just press BS at its imaginative worst. No one can seriously believe the likes of Berrarda and Ashworth believe International footballmanagement is directly translatable to club football. The British press have lost their collective minds ...
