That Alan Partridge gets everywhere
That Alan Partridge gets everywhere
I can only think of Sheffield and Forest fans who will say yes.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.
Its just too dumb a plan and too plain to see. I dont do blind support for anything and everything tangentially related to United.I dont understand these people who are claiming they will stop supporting the club if INEOS bring in Southgate, none of us really want him as manager but if he does get the job then we should all still get behind him.
Exactly! Imagine if they said they were bringing back Moyes (a more accomplished manager than Southgate) - would we all just blindly get behind him?Its just too dumb a plan and too plain to see. I dont do blind support for anything and everything tangentially related to United.
If I don't think ETH is the right man then why would I change my mind? I don't want Southgate, couldn't think of many potential managers who are as uninspiring as him. But I know it'd inevitably not work out, the fans would turn on him quickly, and they'd be forced to make a more legitimate appointment. That's my take.
I think the league is more important than the FA Cup.Anyone think he still gets sacked if we win the FA cup? I mean I know Van Gaal did but this is different. ETH has got us into 3 finals potentially in 2 seasons.
Some of the names flying around though don’t make me confident that things will be better after he’s gone. Southgate, potter, Thomas Frank, just to name a few.I think the league is more important than the FA Cup.
Not saying he needs CL qualification because it is ultimately out of our hands, but if we can finish the season strongly then it might be enough to save his job.
I still think he's gone in the summer though.
It's just a news cycle thing I think.Some of the names flying around though don’t make me confident that things will be better after he’s gone. Southgate, potter, Thomas Frank, just to name a few.
I'm not really paying much attention to them (although I can see Potter being on the shortlist). It's an international break so they need something to "report".Some of the names flying around though don’t make me confident that things will be better after he’s gone.

If this is the direction we are going very soon all the Glazers out will also change their stance and support the Glazers instead.Can’t believe INEOS would invest £1.3 billion and be stupid enough to sign Southgate.
Don’t think INEOS are that stupid. It’s probably so they can focus on real targets without competition. There’s a few top European teams who need new managers this summer. Glazers have never appointed football people where as INEOS are doing. If we are replacing ETH then we’re probably talking to managers now under the radar.If this is the direction we are going very soon all the Glazers out will also change their stance and support the Glazers instead.
At the very least, Glazers is trying a modern manager known for attacking football in ETH and generally moving towards that direction.
Appointing Southgate will make us go back to the obsolete defensive counter attacking style of play while all the PL club plays modern attacking football.
I dont think FA cup alone is enough to guarantee his job.Anyone think he still gets sacked if we win the FA cup? I mean I know Van Gaal did but this is different. ETH has got us into 3 finals potentially in 2 seasons.
I don't want him but Moyes was a worse appointment and that didn't stop me supporting the club. As you say we'll just hope for the best in the unlikely event it does happen.I dont understand these people who are claiming they will stop supporting the club if INEOS bring in Southgate, none of us really want him as manager but if he does get the job then we should all still get behind him.
I doubt he will and I also hope he's not stupid enough to carry on with ETH.Can’t believe INEOS would invest £1.3 billion and be stupid enough to sign Southgate.
Shame he cant articulate the actual reason United fans backlash against the idea of Southgate. It's nothing to do with the Liverpool game or any sentiment about Ten Hag.Andy Mitten WARNS Sir Jim Ratcliffe About APPOINTING Gareth Southgate
Has to be Nagelsmann
I’m hoping we stick with ETH for another season but if we do decide it’s time for a change then Nagelsmann has to be in the top 2 for the job. Young, attacking and will want to stay for years to build a club. His Germany team dominated France tonight despite being underdogs.
Yep. It's the most obvious one (followed by De Zerbi and throw in others like Potter, Conte, Tuchel etc. after that) and at the very least we should start talking to them. None of this business about waiting to see where we finish - that'll be way too late. Surely Berrada knows a thing or two about who was on City's list as Pep's replacement.Surely Naagelsman is the natural next step forward readily available. He’s worked in a hierarchy before where transfers weren’t necessarily in his control and his style would build on what ETH has at least been trying to achieve. Southgate would be a complete 180 in terms of style, the exact mistake we have made in the past years.
How can you go from those three to EmeryNagelsmann, Amorim, De Zerbi would be my top 3, in that order.
Assuming there wasnt the option of going for Emery or luring Inzhagi over .
of course we will continue supporting the club, we have through the Glazers, but if Ineos bring in Southgate basically eradicates any hope at all that they maybe know what they are doing!I dont understand these people who are claiming they will stop supporting the club if INEOS bring in Southgate, none of us really want him as manager but if he does get the job then we should all still get behind him.
He's nothing like Jose. Highest line in the league vs park the bus low block.How can you go from those three to Emery
He is basically Jose v2. Europa league coach at best.
Come on man, you can't be blinded by Villa. Emery is sufferball.He's nothing like Jose. Highest line in the league vs park the bus low block.
Yep. Mine is Nagelsmann, RDZ, Amorim. Would be happy with any.Nagelsmann, Amorim, De Zerbi would be my top 3, in that order.

Emery has failed at 2 high clubs in arsenal and PSG. And we are a bigger club with huge issues.Nagelsmann, Amorim, De Zerbi would be my top 3, in that order.
