Steve Bruce and Mark Hughes are available, both real football men who understand the club from top to bottom.

hiyoooo
zidane til summer intrigues me
― gabbnebulous (darraghmac), Tuesday, 18 December 2018 11:21 (five years ago) link
it'll probably be Blanc
― Number None, Tuesday, 18 December 2018 11:25 (five years ago) link
someone's definitely put a tenner on Blanc, he just went odds on in one refresh.
― calzino, Tuesday, 18 December 2018 11:28 (five years ago) link
zidane would be good for the announcement video retweets and merchandise and prob a total disaster in the job. which seems in keeping with the decisions being made there.
the bookies have him as absolutely red hot favourite.
― FernandoHierro, Tuesday, 18 December 2018 11:33 (five years ago) link
Do United have even a single defender who's at the level they require? I haven't seen enough of Luke Shaw this season to really comment but there isn't a single other option in either CB or fullback options that inspires confidence. Bailly looked good for a while but I guess he's thoroughly broken now.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 18 December 2018 11:37 (five years ago) link
every one of them could be coached into a system im pretty sure pretty much every professional manager still attempting to prove themselves in football now admits they should at least pretend to try this
― gabbnebulous (darraghmac), Tuesday, 18 December 2018 11:38 (five years ago) link
Zidane is totally drifting out in the market now (on a swan gondola enigmatically smoking a fag) - 6/1.
― calzino, Tuesday, 18 December 2018 11:39 (five years ago) link
Dalot looks promising. Shaw is...fine
the best CB at the club is probably playing for Villa
― Number None, Tuesday, 18 December 2018 11:42 (five years ago) link
That caretaker role will last until the end of the season but this will not be Carrick, Nicky Butt or anyone from within the club. Instead, following a thorough and extensive process will have Mourinho’s permanent successor in place for next season.
says the guardian.
already seems in the realms of strange and stupid. appointing an external caretaker, presumably a biggish name, then finding a replacement immediately. why create such confusion?
not least when the likes of nicky butt is ready and waiting to prove he is not the leftover stain of the class of 92.
― FernandoHierro, Tuesday, 18 December 2018 11:42 (five years ago) link
I feel like there has been such a depression all around the club that it’s hard to say how good most of the players really are. Ken Early the other day suggesting that the United squad is no worse than Liverpool’s - it’s just that Liverpool have had 3 years of very focussed development toward a particular style, from a coach who clearly engenders a good feeling amongst his players, and United... haven’t. xxp yeah what darragh said
― Blandford Forum, Tuesday, 18 December 2018 11:44 (five years ago) link
The Liverpool squad have mostly all been signed by the same people with Klopp's football in mind. United's squad is the residue of like four different managerial regimes and there's no coherence in how those attacking players might fit together.
It's like you look at the Arsenal team and it feels like none of them were even there a year and a half ago but they're clearly clicking. United have cycled through more starting players than anyone else this season without once finding an XI that looked like a particularly coherent team.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 18 December 2018 11:49 (five years ago) link
it's having a system as well - a clear identity and a clear system makes every player look better, not least when someone has to come in and replace an injured player or whatever. if it's a case of 'this is how we play' and that's working you're so far ahead. i agree fully man u's squad is as good as liverpool, give or take. or at the very least you could come in and form an attacking identity built around it. second captains used the example of luke shaw v andy robertson to good effect.
