@mariner4life Chelsea or Liverpool for the title. Both look well coached and are playing some very good stuff.
Man City should have bought Kane instead of Grealish in the summer.
-
@mariner4life Yeah, I think Tuchel is working out very well.
Now that I say that though, of course its' going to be a rough trot ahead. Liverpool still looking very strong.
Great to see the Arteta / Klopp scrap yesterday. Good to see some passionate coaches.

@majorrage I am no fan of clown Foster, but OGS much, much worse.

I'm just glad he held on long enough for us to ship out Nuno and ship in Conte before Yanited asked him!

Yeah, I think Utd shot themselves in the foot by beating Spurs a few weeks back, ended up taking the only decent candidate off the market

I've seen some silly shit around "who would actually want the job?"
Seriously?
Huge club. Roster stacked with talent. January window just around the corner. Heaps of money.
Someone good will want it.

The manager isn't really Utd's biggest problem though, the people running the club have no idea what they're doing. They'll find another manager who might do better, but they're not going to match City or Chelsea until they sort out the mess behind the scenes.
They need to bring in someone like Ralf Rangnick as director of football, maybe get him in as interim manager short term until they can find the right manager longer term. Zero chance of that happening though, CR7 wouldn't stand for it

Is anyone good available at the moment? They'd be better letting Carrick and Fletcher see out the rest of the season and then swoop on someone decent in the summer.

@junior Pochetino seems the obvious candidate if they wait until the summer. As long as they don't accidentally give Carrick the job long term because he has a good run of results....
Or because he is a "Club Legend"

It was a massive error for Man Utd not to sign Jurgen Kloop when he was keep to come in 2013. He would have been the ideal replacement for Sire Alex Ferguson. Both Moyes and Van Gaal should have been given more time. Mourinho was a terrible hire for Man Utd. Clash of cultures and styles. OGS was an even worse hire. Not the CV for it. Out of his depth. He has looked an ill man in recent weeks.
My guess is Zinedine Zidane will be their first choice. But apparently his wife is not keen on a move to England.

Yes to all this (except maybe the ZZ bit, not sure if he's their target). And it highlights the fact that the club is a mess, the way they appoint random managers with completely opposing styles shows a lack of planning and understanding of how to run a club

@bovidae His coaching resume looks great, but can he coach? I suspect he'd struggle at United.
Agree - his value to Real Madrid was keeping a bunch of prima donnas happy when they already knew their structure. United needs to have a structure applied.

Nuno? Another huge settlement payoff in February would be very nice for him!

OGS fired. Worst coach of a big team I've ever seen in any sport. Absolutely clueless.
It was always crazy to give him the job permanently once he had cheered everyone up when he was the caretaker. He got away with it with no crowds and a freakish away record where almost every game they would have a woeful 1st half and sheer talent would rescue them in the 2nd. In fact that was his coaching talent - putting out sides which always looked like strangers in the 1st half - that Watford calamity was an epic way for him to leave.
A bit sad to see him go as the soap opera has been fun and there is always the worry that someone might make United a good side and nobody wants that.
