GWT: 2023-24 English Domestic Cups (FA/Carabao)

[Spring in Fialta]

There might be a rush if there’s mutual interest with Zidane. Need to make that happen before he joins Bayern in that case

I don't think Zidane has any desire to coach Bayern or Domestic Violence United. It's the French team or nothing for him.

Unless something new came out?

VAR haters are such dinosaurs

Can you honestly say that you're completely happy with the use of VAR, across the European leagues and competitions?

I very much doubt it.

I don't hate the concept of VAR. I hate it's current implementation.

What quality manager is a) available and b) willing to takeover a team that has one healthy CB?

Just leave an interim in place until the summer. It’s well past time for ETH to go. He’s not even better than Ole or even Carrick’s interim run. Rangnick was right about the changes that needed to happen but the Glazers are the Glazers so here we are. I choose to just laugh at the whole thing instead of being pissed at what has happened to the club post Fergie

I noticed that at the time and it made me so happy. Best fan cutaway in a long time

Two days ago the rumours were out that he was close to signing with Bayern but preferred United. Came out of seemingly nowhere

I really think the only reason he hans't been sacked is that as the ITV commentary mentioned, he's been able to field his best 11 ONCE in the last 18 months. No United manager in the 32ish years that I've been a United fan, has had such a long run of bad injuries. I think Sir Jim/Berrada will want to see how he does with a healthy squad before replacing him and I've seen comments in medias hinting at it too.

England really is the one where most issues have been in. In European competitions and international games that I've watched, it has been used well.

just. make. the. line. fat. so. it. favours. the. attackers.

No question that in particular losing Shaw, Licha and Lindelof hurts. Can’t expect Varane to stay healthy though as much as I love him can argue Shaw can’t either. Just don’t buy that this is mostly injuries. He might already be gone if Rashford doesn’t go on the heater of all heaters to make Southgate look even more stupid last year

I suspect he very well might stay through the summer and think it’s a mistake but we’ll see. Other than establishing what types of players he needs where to make his vision work, Ratcliffe and co better limit his involvement in transfer decisions. No more Antony type acquisitions

I forget which one of the already hired or incoming people will be in charge of transfers. The manager's input will of course be asked but won't be the final say if I've understood the structure correctly.

Happy with it everywhere but where PGMOL is in control

 

[Jussi]

Seems Antony was gloating or something toward the Coventry players afterwards and I hope someone gives him the same treatment Gary Neville got back in the day. United were leading 6-0 at home and at the end of the game he absolutely rattled an opposing player with a hard tackle and gave away a free kick. After the game Sir Bobby Charlton asked if he could have a word with him in the locker room. Message was clear: "We don't do that in this club. We show class."

 

[bluesfan94]

Well that was clear offside so yes, it was useful.

Tell your manager that about the arsenal match. He still bangs on about that.

I don't have his email nor phone number so can't help with that.

You're just upset that it favored united.

It was offside. Correct call. That's all that matters.

No need to get yer kilt in a twist.

Again, the CBs will be healthy by next season.

Manchester United have given up on any semblance of class a while back.

 

[Jussi]

I don't take that for granted, based on United's injury record in the last few years. Plus it's a question also of which ones will still be here after the summer. And I was specifically speaking about a manager taking over right now.

That’s even dumber. You can have a caretaker for a few matches. Not to mention that any new manager would have a transfer window to buy a CB or two. Like you’re giving the stupidest excuse to keep ETH.

A caretaker isn't magically going to make the squad healthy. And I question who would even become a caretaker. If ETH were sacked now, I expect the whole coaching staff to leave with him.

Antony especially.

Just hire a dude off the street. Can't be worse than what's happening now.

Then bring Carrick back. Or Ole. Who cares, it’s for 6 matches. Or I guess cling to ETH for another month and then fire him if that’s what you prefer.

Carrick is at Boro and Ole doesn't seem like he wants to manage anytime soon, based on his appearance on The Overlap. He's not in a good place.

 

[Rob]

If Man U can pull off the upset in the FA Cup final then I think Ten Hag will keep his job.

 

[Jussi]

Sure because that exactly what a professional gootball club would do and definitely INEOS MO.

Obviously I'm being facetious but "We can't find a good interim manager so we'll keep the trainwreck we have now" isn't any more professional of an approach.
