United Thread - 2021/22

He made Spurs quite decent though, if he can manage to do that he must have something.

He made them crap again too. I just don't see anything on his CV to see him as an attractive option for a team that wants to win things (in a competitive league).

I see the paperboy is now all teary eyed, shouting from the rooftops that it’s not all about winning trophies

Could this be a disaster? Great manager for them.

Pochettino open to Man Utd approach

Paris St-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino is not fully happy at the club and is open to any approach from Manchester United.

Not a single quote though - just an opinion piece/call to arms.
Pathetic imho.

So the criteria for the rags job is :
Have you won anything? - nope.
Are you a nice guy? - um I think so.

here’s a 5 year contract.

Could do without Pochettino going there, he’s competent. I’d assumed he’d be our next manager after Pep in a few years. Hopefully the guarantee of trophies at PSG will put him off leaving them for some time.

I don’t think Pochettino would be in our thinking when we come to replace Pep.

Part of his brief when he came to us (alongside winning a shitload of trophies) was to create a style and identity for the way we play which would become part of our personality and would set the direction for our Club, and which runs through all our teams at every level.

The idea being the manager is a custodian of that style, rather than ripping it up and starting again with every new appointment. See the example of the Rags for how well that works!

Pep will leave us soon, and his replacement will be someone who can continue this style - which isn’t Pochettino.

Luis Enrique and Erik Ten Hag look the most likely candidates in terms of style at the moment - but we have another 18 months for others to come forward.

One things for sure - we’ll be planning for it in the background already. None of this intern for an interim crap the Rags are trying to pull at the moment!

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I might as well have someone walking in front of me at work with a bell shouting "unclean". Certain individuals are avoiding me big time today.

You could return the compliment with a short Monty Pythonesque..." Bring out your dead.."

The media all banging on about who the next permanent manager should be but ignoring who will be the interim one. That is a huge appointment and if they fuck it up (oh perlease) they could be in even deeper shit.
Plus no manager currently in work is going to agree to magev this shower of shit for just 6 months so that leaves who?
Bruce, ? Can anyone name anyone else - without taking the piss

That's fine then because he never won one and was never likely to win one.

The unending fawning in the football media of this f***ing self-entitled and self-righteous club, the THE UNITED WAY, is sickening.

There was talk of Ralph Rangnick - and I can see that happening, with them moving him up to a DoF type role at the end of the season. Would be part of the pitch to get him in - rather than ‘Do you fancy managing this shower of shit for a few months then fucking off again next May?’
