The Manchester United Thread

I think united needs someone a la Hiddink at Chelsea.
Experienced people manager to just take the interim job and happy to leave after the season has ended.
 
Oh god the media will have have their clicks full of stuff with united and soon with transfer window.

Also these Poch articles are too much. "Considering, thinking, not told down from offer..." (I think it has been just long time from transfer window as these frustrate now)
Cmon no manager with brain(lets not mention M.Silva..) will say out right yes or no to any offer. Ofc it is under consideration, but still seems so highly unlikely. Huge sums to pay for Jose out and buying Poch contract, he has 4.5 year left, additionally offering new contract to him. It is MoneyUnited, but shareholders or who ever coughs up that money is not looking it in a good way.

Also this push from United can make Levy offer good transfer moneys to him. I just dont think it is so cut and dry that you are the big United and now just join.

Sry for rant (A)
 
Lots of reports saying it likely will be announced tonight.

Love listening to Poch talk about how important Fergie has been in his career and his admiration for him. :)

Mark Ogden just tweeted Ole named as caretaker manager. Then was deleted moments later.

Woodward will be happy again now: United’s value has jumped by over £100m since Jose Mourinho’s dismissal. #mufc [Times]
 
If nothing else these next 6 months will give us an indication of whether players like Pogba truly were singled out needlessly and start performing. Or whether they need to be gone in the summer as well.
 
Seems pretty obvious to me that Poch is the main man. If we wanted Zidane or Jardim we wouldn’t need an interim appointment till the end of the season.

Yeah unless Zidane is already tied up somewhere and Jardim isn't even on the shortlist, which may be the case. To be honest I just want Pochettino anyway, I can't think of a better fit for United than him in world football.

I just want to see Ole bring back the passion, entertainment and get these players putting the effort in now every week. There is literally no excuses for anyone now, I don't really care about results as the season is a write off. I just want to see the players trying to play the right way.
 
Bundesliga's virtually morphing into an Eredivisie these days, and I actually personally think he'd be mad to take the Madrid job. Ramos, Marcelo, Modric, Bale, Benzema etc. all 30+ next season, I'm getting United 2012 ish vibes with them. Key players aging, the peak winning years left with Zidane & Ronaldo, but I could be wrong.

If it happens than you've just wasted another 6 months to the Pointless Years era after Fergie's retirement.

I wish people would stop assuming that there is some great option available now to come in midseason. There is literally nothing to suggest Zidane is available now and Jardim recently rejected job offer also.

Most clubs in this situation would do the same, Mourinho was untenable, get someone in like Ole to sail the boat and make a proper appointment in the summer. Real Madrid got Solari and everyone knows he isn't their long-term choice either.

I don't see how anyone is criticising the board over this...... there is a lot fo be critical of them about....... but not sacking Jose and hiring an interim until May in a dead season. They are hiring a DoF before the real manager comes in as well, the single thing we have needed for years.

*facepalm*

How is it a ‘dead’ season?

Mourinho has killed this season like he does at every club in 3rd season, it will take a miracle to regain top 4 now with our goal difference it's effectively 12 points to overcome against 5 teams competing for top 4. Lets not even talk about CL, our chances of winning that are as much as me winning the lottery.

It's not just that though, nearly all of our players are not performing, there is a lot that is needed to turn this around, let alone thinking about competing immediately for major trophies right now.

It's not a dead season. But Jose was getting worse. And our key target isn't available till the summer. Nor will any of the best managers be anyway. Get a caretaker in, vitally, get the technical director in, and start forward planning. The squad needs lifting, and some decent coaching. Ole phelan and Co can start to provide that

It’s not ‘dead’ though z. A ‘dead’ season you’d have nottin to play for. That’s far from the case with the FA Cup, European Cup and European places the league to play for not even half a season in.

Regardless of what you think Utd’s chances are, you still have to play the games with the aim of winning them or else what’s the point? You may have well carried on as was.

Thats dramatically silly talk mate.
