I've been told that his fresh start will probably end up being in the U.A.E where he has contacts. It was because of his contacts there that the rags went on training breaks there.
Haha yes, more likely Qatar though I reckon.

Twente apparently offered him a manager job but with one year contract only and he refused it.
Some Rags think that he was hoping that he could get United main job as he was very close to Ferguson.

Let's not celebrate too quickly about Muelensteen going. Looks like Phil Neville could be taking over as first team coach. If that's true, we'll never see the title again.MSP said:Twente apparently offered him a manager job but with one year contract only and he refused it.

So it`s a case of.."from mue to him"
A, I the only one who thinks that Pellegrini may well benefit from having alongside him a decent, experienced coach who knows the PL and that Meulensteen, when he leaves United, could fit that bill? Or is he a no go for reasons of personality, football philosophy or the digs he's had at us in the past?

No you're not the only one. He did a good job with the rags youth setup. Could be a very good technical director.petrusha said:A, I the only one who thinks that Pellegrini may well benefit from having alongside him a decent, experienced coach who knows the PL and that Meulensteen, when he leaves United, could fit that bill?

Contacts in our owner's part of the world and learning his trade as a coach in Holland (which in terms of philosophy isn't miles away from what we're trying to do) made me think it might be a decent fit. Especially if he has family in the Manchester area and is fairly settled there, though I have no idea about that. Anyway, just a thought - but glad I'm not the only one. :)

He made some pretty disparaging remarks about City and our squad either last season or the season before - I don't remember which it was. Think that might rule him out. Plus he's always looked just a little too smug. As though he was born into the rags way of life.
Clearly a very highly rated coach though.

You could say exactly the same about David Platt.BillyShears said:petrusha said:Prestwich_Blue said:No you're not the only one. He did a good job with the rags youth setup. Could be a very good technical director.

I see that there's a gap in the current set-up. TB is Director of Football and Pellegrini will be first-team coach. Vieira is head of the EDS but there's no one in the middle to translate the "holistic" approach into an actual technical strategy.
