Ten hag is not here at United for a quick fix. There is no quick fix. United will have up and down results and sacking him early on will not be the right thing.

Conte to PSG and Poch back to Spurs. Inevitable
Don't forget the stroopwafels.Come on man, don't hate on one of the two nice things Dutch cuisine gave us (Vla being the other one)
Sorry, just not a fan of them

What's next, Heineken?
Reports that he's getting sacked this week. I have no idea where he'll end up. Maybe a Spurs comeback if Conte fails to get top 4? Or perhaps if Arsenal fail to get top 4 they'll be interested?
If he does get fired, he can afford to sit out for a year and see who gets the bullet. I sincerely hope it's not ten Hag...
The club did wanted to get him in 2018 after Zidane left but he rejected the offer. Nowadays I don't think there's any interest in him anymore, back then it seemed like gamble worth taking but after his spell at PSG I don't think anyone is convinced by him managing a club like Real Madrid...
Agree. Unless Italy NT comes calling and Ancelotti is considering his final legacy in football before retiring, doesn't make sense.
Wonder if he would go to Barcelona if Xavi isn't up to it.
It's a very opposite type of football to Barcelona play though but they might think it's time for that like the way they have been buying players like Aubameyang recently.
Otherwise I'd like to see him try manage an Italian team and see if he can try get them to a final like he did with spurs. That would really raise how he is viewed.
Other than that, the only other club I can see him going to is Chelsea or Madrid just due to how often they do change their managers & may need one.

Get sacked, bag €15 million, take a sabbatical until we get rid of ETH
Same as with us then. He seemed like the golden boy following his time at Spurs, and you could argue he would have been a candidate for every top club then. After his stint at PSG you would not say the same.
If he's sacked before season end, can he still claim the league title win on his CV? . I jest.
. I jest.He's an Espanyol man though no? Not saying it would be impossible, but he seems pretty loyal to them and not sure if I'm wrong, but I recall him saying he wouldn't go to Barca. The Barca fans won't warm to him either.
Conte Pochetino job swap seems likely to me.
Bit of a side note, but what an arrogant twat Leonardo is.
What has Leonardo actually achieved that entitles him to be so arrogant? He manages Qatar’s sports washing operations, falls out with any decent coach and has a blank cheque book with which he acquires random football players.
Why does he think that he is so great?
Conte vs Leonardo would be epic.
Sad post. ETH has no chance with fans like you
I wouldn't be surprised if RM hire him at some point. Perez does not seem to care much about managers these days, just picks a big name.
Is Poch really a "big name" these days? It feels more like a talent that didn't break through to the top and now wasted his last chance at an absolute top club. It's not like a Ligue 1 title makes him a big name.
Well I'm glad for Poch and his first league title as a manager. Not sure if he's going to stay at PSG but there are plenty clubs he could manage from summer.
Six new players? Yeah he's not getting that, even with Kane being sold. I think its clear he wants out and is just forcing these unrealistic demands to Levy to force his exit.
I thought that. When he got appointed i said itll turn sour because he will demand more than Levy will be prepared to give. Probably why he has also been really coy about whether he will stay after this season
He did it with us aswell, even though i loved him here. Wanting new players all the time
Maybe he can come to United as Ten Hag's assistant.
Without looking at the bottom part, you can imagine when Poch took over. Part of this was before PSG's crazy summer recruiting.
Do you want to replace him as a fan or would you like him to stay?

Also whats the general consensus among psg fans?
No, I definitely don't want him to stay, but PSG is a hot mess to manage for most people anyways. At least, with a guy like Conte, it will be explosive fireworks because he wouldn't settle for being neutered by guys like Leonardo or NAK. Poch has been a miserable figure for the past two years, two years....I think I can count the good performances on one hand (Bayern return leg, Barcelona away, Clermont, Lorient, and Real Madrid at home). That's the only good performances that stick out in my head where Poch was at the helm and the team looked good for more or less the duration of the game. It's simply not good enough, and this chart really highlights just how badly the team performed pretty much as soon as he came in, like falling off a cliff.
He's in the extreme minority (read nutters)
I actually spat out my coffee when I saw that Conte was whoring himself for the qataris
spurs. What a small fecking club

You've got some nerve saying that, don't you know you're playing the best football in Europe right now.
Why would PSG hire Conte with his pretty underwhelming European record? Face it, they’re after a Champions League rather than a Ligue 1.
Don't worry, our favourite troll seems to be hiding at the moment.
If they dont get zidane then they will go for conte IMO.
Can't wait to see the drama.
I mean i get that sentiment, but conte doesn't really serve your purpose though? You lot already dominate the league your ambitions are firmly set on europe and he usually suits the bed there.
There really isn't a suitable replacement available so might as well give him another year.
I think Zidane will choose France before PSG. Had he wanted the PSG position he would have done so after his last season with Madrid.
I feel sad for Pochettino because I don't think he's a bad manager, but definitely his profile is not suited for PSG, similar to Emery's time when he was there. Actually, I think PSG's ambition for the CL depends more on luck than in any managerial/squad problem... If you see Tuchel's road to the 2020 Final, his road was extremely easy... Not saying he doesn't have merit, but had he faced stronger opposition honestly I think he would have failed as much as Poch did this year.
As for the reeplacement, I don't see Conte leaving the Premier. I think they should go after Deschamps after the WC.

Yeah but I think the idea of a coach not being good in the CL is weird as if it's a given he can't do well in the CL. It's not as if he suddenly forgets how to coach in the CL, so I don't know how much stock I put on his record in Europe being an actual factor in regards to PSG's chances. Obviously I would prefer Zidane, but I don't think his 3 CLs in a row are any more of an indication of potential success than Conte's failures an indication of the opposite. Unfortunately I can't see how Zidane would come in.
What I do know is that this team could use a task-master like him, someone who won't hesitate to bench a big name if they're not doing what he asks, assuming NAK learns from his mistake and doesn't screw up Conte's authority by letting players go over their manager's head if they have an issue.
The only thing that bothers me, and it what's bothered me about Pochettino as well, is this ease of just saying, while employed at another club, that you'd rather work somewhere else. If I'm a Spurs player, I'm going to struggle taking Conte very seriously if he's already thinking of another team to manage.
I feel your best for the future is creating a strong set up like City did over here, Qataris might be even richer than Emirates but the way you 2 have spent your money is night and day.
Paris is a hub of football and fashion you already are trying to make a fashionable brand , making a footballing brand won't hurt either.
In the longb run guys like Leonardo with thei star signings will do you more harm than good so actually implementing a proper footballing system would be the first and best step to achieving success in my opinion.
But if you want to go for the expedient option, Zidane is probably the best as even though conte is a great manager he just seems to malfunction when he gets to Europe and it's not a freak accident anymore, its happened every single time. Just look at inter, probably worse off than their previous season but still did much better in Europe ( actually could have beaten off liverpool).
