Managerial Thread Part V - Tottenham in Tatters

[Jussi]

They won’t get Ten Haag.

Next summer is the earliest if it were him long term.

 

[Jussi]

I guess Carrick would be the interim according to The Guardian.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

To get Sancho going he needs a good fullback behind him. The problem is AWB is garbage and Sancho/Shaw hasn’t worked because Sancho isn’t nearly as good on the left (yet). Also, where are the minutes?

This doesn’t mean Sancho is a full on bust, but I don’t think it’ll be as simple as flipping a switch.

A good fullback helps, but last season he was effective with Meunier/Morey.

What's so frustrating is they've had the whole 2 weeks of the international break to form a short-list of candidates to replace the manager whose job was hanging by a thread.......now he's gone and it appears they have no clue who to replace him with.

Doubly frustrating that we missed out on Conte because the Glazers didn't want to hire a manager who isn't a yes man.

 

[Evilo]

I bet United will name Fletcher instead of Blanc.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Found this interesting:

Michael Carrick will now take charge of the team for forthcoming games, while the club looks to appoint an interim manager to the end of the season.

Sounds like they aren't happy with the options available.

I’m totally fine with an interim until the end of season as long as they don’t overreact to a fluke CL win and end up giving someone a full time gig that isn’t ready.

Because no one sane will go there.

 

[Evilo]

I'd have trouble believing Blanc would reject them.
Except if they told him it was for 6 months.

 

[Islay1989]

That job requires someone who will come in and not be afraid to chop heads. Install a system you want to play and let them sink or swim, detect weak spots, filter out those who do not fit and start from there. There's no magic solution that will turn them around quickly.

If the board was smart they'd go after the entire Ajax footballing operation, but they'll never do that because they want to pull the strings.

 

[Eye of Ra]

good news for van de beek

Let's not kid ourselves, a lot of good coaches would take up the chance to manage United. There just aren't many available.

Yup, they have financial freedom and the clout for any manager. The real issue is who's left without a job that's a viable option? An interim makes sense see how the winter and summer windows shake out. The usual suspects might be open to a move then.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Should have happened after the Liverpool massacre.

Just punt the season and see what you have in some of the bench options to either build their transfer value or see if they're worth keeping, I guess?

 

[Chimaera]

Ole for caretaker manager!

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Former Man U defender and legend Steve Bruce is available.

pretty much every manager in the world will go there. even when ur a nothing manager who fails u get a 7.5m payoff on top of what was already earned.

The issue is that for top managers, their reputation is worth more than a 7.5M payoff. Who wants to be exposed like Mourinho and get stuck working for clubs like Tottenham & Rome when previously you've worked at the Chelsea's & Real's of the world?

Reported for trolling.

 

[maclean]

I'll be mad if Utd get Blanc, I'm still holding out hope we replace Arteta with him, even though it feels like a long-shot at this point

 

[The Abusement Park]

Blanc as the interim would be fantastic. He has shown the ability to be capable of managing at this level and even if he doesn’t end up being the long term guy I think going hard after Ten Hag is the move. Or Poch if he leaves after the season is over.

 

[Evilo]

Why would he accept 6 months though?

If you don't care about potentially ruining your career sure. Talk about being shortsighted.

Almost every top manager gets sacked these days. Mourinhos been sacked at every club, klopp and tuchel, all the top Italian managers basically rotated amongst the big clubs.

Mou had his career washed down the toilet because of United to a degree. You're going to bring up Klopp to support your narrative? How is Tuchel's previous employer similar to United? Conte now manages Tottenham because he's tough to get along with etc.
