Pasquale for King Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 ONLY £18m apparently to get rid of that horrible little man. It will cost much more to replace the duds he inherited and signed. It took him less than an hour to pack his belongings from the hotel he stayed in since he got the job, worked his ticket since the summer. Since he left Porto he’s always been a chequebook manager and his relationships with players slowly deteriorate over his 2 years at a club.

letsalldothebeattie Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Solskjær an interesting appointment he knows the club and knows what the fans want and gets the United way but my concern is his stint at Cardiff in the Prem was a massive failure.

Cade Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Was Jose actually trying a leg at Man U?

I think all of us liked watching United under Fergie even though, personally anyway I thought Fergie was a bit of a ***** but nobody else could have won league titles with the basic players he had at times. O’Shea, Butt, Darren Fletcher etc there’s quite a few who really shouldn’t have been anywhere near their first team yet he kept winning titles. What gets me about them though is their plastic fans from up here and London and all that nonsense so for that reason I’d like to see them toil for maybe 20 years or so.

Bull's-eye Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Man Yoo are goosed for a 3 or 4 years now. They stood still while the other elite teams looked ahead and put proper infrastructure in place. They're goosed for even longer if they don't fix their problems now as well. Sadly they are such a global brand they will eventually stumble on a solution. Moaninho was not the problem imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are looking at Paul Mitchell to take on the new role of Director of Football. Mitchell, currently at Leipzig was with Pochettino at Southampton and Tottenham. Which is also a heavy hint to their next manager. Moving on from the total control and legacy of old fashioned structures Alex Ferguson had has taken them a long time.

Cruyff Turn Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Thing about these clubs is they have not only great expectations but a style of play. Ive never supported an English team but I always enjoyed watching Ferguson’s Utd in their pomp, 4-4-2, rarely ever changed, they were fast and direct and outscored the opposition. Mourinho’s brand of ultra negative boring defensive football was never going to be a hit. I actually think Solskjaer will be a hit at Man Utd. He understands the club, the way Ferguson played, how important it is to entertain and win. It doesn’t have to be a ‘big name’ appointment.

Debut 4 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Pochettino would seem the logical choice to persue. Moved onto bigger things at Spurs after Southampton, and while not winning anything as yet, it’s clear how much he’s hugely improved Spurs. He has alot of experience in the EPL and he’s now managed them to some impressive results in the Champions League in the last couple of years. He’s also started to get Spurs winning more games against close rivals they used to toil against. No brainer for Man Utd.
