Who replaces Ten Hag?

I’m only interested in Tuchel, Iraola and McKenna.
I heard somebody quite convincing saying that we're looking at Iraola. Took it with a large pinch of salt at the time but I'm hearing more and more people say it.
I've also heard people saying that he's somebody that City should take a look at after Pep, based on his performance at Bournemouth, so he could be an interesting option. I've not seen enough other than against us, but was impressed.
It's worrying how this is refusing to die, it will be such a waste of time and more money.
Every time I start to think ETH has to go the Southgate rumors start popping up, hopefully this is just INEOS way of making me happy to stick with ETH.
His Ajax team had less talent than we do. There is no excuse.
It makes sense.
If Sir Jim asked you to come up with a shortlist of realistic, available candidates for next season, who would be on it?
Iraola would definitely.
He's somewhat PL proven.
ETH wasn't and I don't think he can get to grips with it.
I'd rather we pushed the defence high and accept we'll occasionally concede to a ball in behind. The point of Onana is that he should be able to sweep high. Even the best high-line teams concede this way occasionally.
Obviously, with the injury crisis we have we should be sitting deep though.
Surprised he isn't the one Bayern want given his uncle was on the Bayern board.
I think that's what most mean by 'building the team'. It's not about signings. It's about creating a style of play which the players all buy into.
They do have a cup final and his supposed wage demands seem excessive even for us.

It better not be Southgate ffs
Liverpool not making any sort of a move speaks volumes

Oh lord please no. This is a nightmare, somebody wake me up 
The ABU's will have an absolute field day if it's Southgate
It wont be souf gate- ineos too smart for that
Hope you’re right mate. The fans will turn their backs on them if they appoint him. I mean they do all this hard work in getting Wilcox, Ashworth and then appointing someone like him undoes this.
So will every United fan.
Would expect him to be hounded out the club within weeks.
Ratcliffe will just turn into another joke if he appoints Southgate. ‘He wants the best in class in every department’ if he thinks he’s the best then he’s got issues
At least you can sort of tell it's bollocks right now because Santi Nobody says he's Ratcliffe's top pick. Obviously Ratcliffe wont be having any say in it.
The manager could just be a pragmatic yes man for the next few years anyway with the amount of underlying work needs done away from the position.
Getting the right guy in would be a huge bonus, but isn’t crucial right now (assuming there’s good work going on in the background)

Southgate makes no sense. Unless INEOS reads Caf and somehow read mine and @Skills insane posts about hiring and sacking a few managers within a few weeks just to break the **** of the manager. It is an insane idea though, shouldn't be tried at home, but that is the only way hiring Southgate makes sense. Right?
Can’t believe people believe these Twitter accounts. Southgate is coming nowhere near the club. Sir Jim will lose the fans instantly if he appoints him.
He’s confirmed he’s staying
I'd rather have Theresa May as the manager at this rate.
That's fair, but my point was that results still have to be a primary focus. Otherwise we'll have people still saying "he needs time" when a cohesive style of play is still not clicking by the end of the first season. Building the squad behind the scenes, while ruthlessly enforcing standards with managers who aren't achieving Champions League qualification or regressing from season to season should be the way to go.
They’ll give him another year. There is nobody really who is the right candidate to come in at the moment. Make another rash managerial decision and it’s 5 steps backwards potentially. ineos will let the backroom staff settle, then let them lead it all. That’s why they have made these appointments. It’ll give them a season to sound out a replacement if they need to. This is on the basis next season isn’t as bad as this one!
Isn't the whole point of Ineos's backroom changes to make sure a bad manager can't be a single point of failure? If an underperforming manager is removed quickly and isn't in control of transfer policy then I don't see why it would be 5 steps backwards.
Nah his position is untenable. They’ll just put someone like Potter in.
The fact that there is so much consensus against Southgate here makes he think he could be a big success here ,anytime we have near unanimous agreement on a player or manger it is almost certainly a disaster signing for the club.
Shame how Mount didn't work out then. Cause there was as much consensus that we should not sign him.
A positive outcome? Positive? Positively can stick up their bottoms if that's their idea of progress.
Careful what you wish for. It's the kind of nightmare where you think you have woken up, the birds are singing, your lovers arms are around you... Then you roll over and it turns out you've been playing little spoon to Moyes all these years.Oh lord please no. This is a nightmare, somebody wake me up
I wonder is Luis Enrique gettable.
He just extented his contract and made very clear that he intends to stay and play CL with Stuttgart. Very similar to Alonso actually (only that Alonso didn't extend his contract). There have been rumours about him, so you can add him to the list of managers who made clear they aren't available before Bayern could formally approach them.
I think Barca are waiting on him.
Terzic anyone?
Dortmund only lost title on last day last season, and in this seasons CL final.

The cardboard cutout of Sly Stallone as the Terminator from Last Action Hero.
Disappointing if true but nothing surprises me with this club.
If it's Southgate, it confirms INEOS are as clueless as the parasites. I will be checking out of the sport at the time this is announced.
Just... no.
