The Manchester United Thread

[Scouseinthehouse]

Makes no difference who manages them. It's going to fail.

I don't rate Poch anyway. Never did, never will.

Carrick has to go. But I’d honestly have kept him over Poch.

David Moyes aside, this will be the single worst managerial appointment Utd have made in my lifetime if they hire that serial bottler who is coming off the National team retirement job in America.

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

But yeah, you’re right that it’s immaterial who they hire under this **** show.

Here we go again...
"Poch favours youth and will help young players flourish"!!!

How many managers after Fergie have they said that about?

Then they come to United and it's the same old useless cnuts taking to the field, week after week.

The manger choice. Ornstein said on a pod cast that Wilcox wanted how and pushed for it to Berrarda. But when they put forward there choice. They were overruled by Joel Glazer. Sounds like Wilcox especially is on thin ice.

[Theatre of Dreams83]

NEW: The Glazers' connection to US billionaire hedge fund owner Ken Griffin appears to be a major factor here. Griffin funded Pochettino's US Soccer salary in 2024 and his contract extension in August, and he also helped finance the Glazers' 2005 takeover of Manchester United.

Because of this backing, the club's chain of command is now completely disrupted. Unlike previous managers Erik ten Hag, Ruben Amorim, and Michael Carrick, Pochettino will not answer to executives Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox. Instead, he bypasses Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s football leadership structure entirely to become the most powerful person at Old Trafford.

If Berrada and Wilcox remain at the club, their futures will now depend on Pochettino's success, making this their final chance.

[kitchin75]

how many final chances is that now like 100 or so

No not this season my only hope is he saves us from relegation. I actually do like him as a manager tbh though. But we all know it will be the s h I t around him that decides if he’s successful or not mate
