He's ex Ajax, the club think they invented football.

I got a message from my Rag mate, you’ll never guess who he wants in…
No you will genuinely never guess.
It’s Michael Carrick… yes the head coach of a mid table club in the Championship… yes that Michael Carrick.
I am wholeheartedly behind the #SOPP cause but honestly if that’s the alternative I may have to reconsider.
They really never learn, do they?

They really don’t. Has there been a ex-United player who played under the GPC that’s been a real success as a manager? I can’t think of one (and I’m not counting Hughes or Bruce!). Could it be that the GPC was not a good role model as a manager perhaps, with his bullying, manipulation, narcissism, and autocratic ways?

How long will Ten Hag last at United?
Not long enough to have a decent schmoke and a pancake.

To be fair to him, losing 3-0 to us is a decent result for them these days.

I think if I’m being very generous, GPC’s teams were successful in greater part due to their winning mentality and the way he man-managed them rather than for any particularly sophisticated tactical innovations.
I’m not saying he wasn’t good tactically, but he’s not the kind of manager that teaches systems and processes to his players. He just told them to do a job and they did it. This has bred a set of managers that have a lot of experience of winning things but they have no greater technical insight than any other player-turned-manager
The likes of Cruyff and Pep have created so many brilliant coaches because they expect their players to know the whole plan every bit as much as they do. They demand their players understand every position on the pitch and how it all fits together. The reason we can play exactly the same way even when Pep is in hospital is because he puts 11 managers on the pitch every week.
