Alert: It's only a matter of time...then who?

I am hoping that board was supposed to be a joke.

 

Reports coming out all over Italy that Lolenham Lolspurs are seriously in for Allegri.

Like someone else said this maybe a case of Spurs fed up waiting for an answer from Van Gaal, waiting for an answer from us, waiting for an answer from Klopp? lol.

Although I have the irkiest feeling that Fergie is absolutely oblivious to the Manchester United fans wishes of Klopp replacing Moyes, and if he had it his way he'd either keep going with Moyes, or if the pressure was too much, he'll replace him with another of his British buddy friends. If he had it his way... hopefully the Glaziers take away that privilege and choose a proven manager this time around.

 

Would they know who to pick? Have they delayed firing Moyes because Bill Cowher already has a lucrative deal with TWC?

 

More seriously, how do you see this reflecting on the Glazers if he goes? Are they to be credited for not being twitchy and giving the man ample time to prove himself, or do they simply look clueless for failing to make a change when there was still something serious to play for?

 

After November there was nothing to play for they played it right waiting until he couldn't qualify for CL anymore. Now it just depends who they hire to replace Moyes.

 

So in terms of short term fixes if we go down that route -

Would you take Hiddink or Vaan Gaal ? Anyone else ?


In terms of more long term appointments..

Klopp seems unavailable.

Blanc would be unlikely to prize away from PSG as well.

Simeone suits the underdog role and doesn't have the experience or command of the English language. Maybe a candidate a few years down the line.

Interesting interview there. In the end he says he spoke with Woodward in September and they talked about Klopp, with Woodward saying that Klopp's a "Genius".

If this is true, I just hope Woody finally stands up for what he believes in and convinces the Glazers to help him do whatever they could to get him.

Otherwise, van Gaal or Simeone would do, although like the rest, I have reservations about the latter's English speaking skills, and his somewhat not-so-attacking footballing style. Still, I want someone with authority and someone that will have the player's respect, if not fear. And all three fit that category.

 

Can't blame the Glazers at all. They gave Moyes more time than any other big club would have given but if they pull the plug now, they only let him cause temporary damage.

 

Sorry. Moyes was never a good signing, or even an ok signing. But Fergie and Charlton pushed for him and there was no way Glazers could have sacked him without a full blown revolt from the average fans.

 

This. I never thought they had it in them.

 

Fascinating to see the G&G crowd trying to spin this as the Glazers acting badly, when they have in fact, been the only ones to do their job properly.

Seriously this again ? The hindsight was written word to word 12 months ago

 

It was largely disappointment and underwhelming feelings with the appointment of Moyes. Don't give us that hindsight BS.

It was almost unanimous in these parts that dude was all wrong and things would get bad.

Wow.

 

He had achieved nothing and was one of the worst possible choices.

Almost anyone with a couple of brain cells saw that from Drae, DS and Bro just on the first page. I think the only poster whose opinions I do appreciate who thought he was a good pick was Stud.

Man Utd will not be pursuing Jurgen Klopp. Been made aware he is committed to Borussia Dortmund. Story to follow...

 

Jürgen Klopp has ruled himself out of the Manchester United job. The 46-year-old told the Guardian: "Man Utd is a great club and I feel very familiar with their wonderful fans. But my commitment to Borussia Dortmund and the people is not breakable."

Usually reliable Di Marzio says United have sent out feelers to Mourinho and he is considering. Well, that would be Odd.

 

It will take someone with a big head and even bigger balls to rectify this mess.

 

Mourinho can't possibly be considering it. That's ludicrous. It would be funny as hell tho.

I think we need to make a proper run at Klopp. Like money, transfer fees available in his contract etc etc. I think he is committed to BVB but I also think he is human and it will be tempting to go to a club that doesn't HAVE to sell players to its major domestic rivals.


EDIT:

If we cannot have Klopp, then I think serious thought should be given to Martinez.

I think we have to consider that we have wasted a year of our veterans' twilight and a year of development of our kids and without CL football next year or possibly even Europa, bringing in stars will be difficult.

Unless we can land a manager who can bring in stars, we need someone who can bring in and use young talent because the recovery wont be simple.

Recovering will mean getting back into CL immediately which is doable, but a long term injury to Carrick in an already ailing CM would be seriously detrimental. We cannot screw this appointment up, it could have serious ramifications if we did.

 

If he didn't make the move for barca, I don't see him doing it for you guys. At this point they are in need of less "fixing" and they have better stars.

Dude must really love him some Dortmund.

 

The problem with Barcelona is the club has an ingrained belief in a certain style of play, increasingly to their detriminet, and it would be very difficult for the club, players and fans to accept the necesary changes. The possible transfer ban also leaves any new manager stuck in limbo. Someone like Klopp would be simply too disruptive.
