Correct. Can't argue with logic.Galtier wins either way. If Real Madrid loses, Florentino Perez should try everything to have him and if PSG wins Pochettino is still a worse manager.

I personally can't quite understand why Poch would interest in the Man Utd job unless he is sacked by PSG. May be he likes the challenge?As someone who really doesn't want us to appoint Poch, I'm not sure which result would be more favourable tonight.
PSG winning might mean that they'd be reluctant to get rid of Poch without demanding hefty compensation, and it might prompt Madrid to sack Ancelotti and poach Poch. But on the flipside it might convince our board that Poch is the guy.
On the other hand PSG losing might see our board cool their interest in him, but its possible he gets sacked and then becomes a cheap hire for our board, which will no doubt excite the cheap cnuts.

Can't see anything other than PSG progressing tonight. They were so much better in the first leg and Real didn't have an answer, the turnaround from them will need to be huge and PSG will need to play a level or two lower.
On the contrary I think PSG winning will delay Pochettino`s sacking closer to the season`s end thus making ETH more likely as he`s more attainable if the plan is to indeed have someone in place before the end of the season. Despite the doubts around Poch PSG won`t sack him without a replacement in place and outside Zidane who rejected them in December there isn`t an obvious upgrade on Poch.As someone who really doesn't want us to appoint Poch, I'm not sure which result would be more favourable tonight.

Exactly. We need an idealist not a pragmatist. We need someone to come in with a successful style/approach/philosophy and demand the team play to that end. If they do not or cannot, get rid and replace. Trying to "make the best" of a bad bunch will just continue our failure. Basically we have to commit fully.Poch has really good man management according to Shaw, but so did Solskjær, we don’t want a soft touch of a manager again. Ten Haag would obviously be first choice, but poch wouldn’t be too bad either. It could certainly be worse than him such as Rodgers. I like how ten Haag and poch have both been talking in recent interviews about attacking football. Especially ten Haag who isn’t happy at 2-0, he wants the 5-0s and constantly wants his team attacking. He said something like if it’s 2-0 at half time, then he expects it to finish at least 5-0. He said that after giving away a 2-0 lead in his last game which they eventually won 3-2 but they had like 39 attempts. We need that kind of manager.
They’ll wait till the end of the season as there’s nothing else to play for in the hope that we’d be stupid enough to try buy out his contract from them.Will he be sacked this week if they go out?
Is this a joke ?I’d still take him. I just hope PSG haven’t broken him. Looks a dejected man out there.
Carlo done him with his subs. Camavinga changed the game with his range of passing and ability to cover ground
They wont sack him because they know about a special club stupid enough to pay big bucks for himIt'd be kind of funny if he got sacked before they win the league. 'Guaranteed trophies at PSG' and he conspires to find a way to avoid winning anything. I'd laugh my ass off right up to the point we hire him.
You lot are going to tear him a new one after this. But PSG keep on capitulating in the CL when there's a bit of pressure.
PSG were cracking before that. That 5 minute spell of nothing possession should have kicked him into action. It was clear they were scared to do anything with the ball.His goalkeeper kicked the ball into his own net and the players capitulated thereafter.
Of course. I'm just saying, it seems ingrained in that club at the moment. PSG have dominated 140 minutes of this 180. They've missed some incredible chances. That's not on Poch. But not being able to do anything to turn it when it went against them, that's mostly on him.Is his job as the manager not to be to attempt to change that? Otherwise what’s his purpose?
Why? I doubt Hag's contract at Ajax is massive. It should be chump change for United.Well feck. If Poch is free we won't pay for Ten Haag.
