Starting to feel for him. It's just not working for him. The sooner the better.
 
Don't understand why so many vote for Pochettino. Hasn't won a thing and his Spurs side is decent but nothing extraordinary. Of course it would be Klopp or Guardiola if we had that unrealistic chance.
 
Like to see him go. But it's not going to happen anytime soon. Some seriously bad players in this squad need to go with him too
 
That's it. He's crossed the Rubicon.

I've supported him staying till now, but now I want him replaced.

For whatever reason, he can't get the most out of this squad. He can have another go at a different club. We can't afford to keep regressing like this.
 
I honestly don't even know what the fecking answer is. Outside of an open check book for the next manager, will it even really matter?
 
We're not winning the league anytime soon, not in the next 5-10 years or even more.

The only solution now is get a manager who will play good football and secure top 4 some seasons and others not. Try to entertain games because we're not winning any big trophies any big soon. That's our current version of Liverpool drought.
 
We’re lightyears behind at the moment. I don’t think a change of managers is going to change much. There’s no direction
 
It's totally irrelevant who it is. We'll be a top 4 side at best unless the new manager is Jesus Christ.

A quick Wikipedia search suggests he's signed up with RB Leipzig from next season.

Could be true. He's young, tactically brilliant and very good at man-managing and socialising with his players and knowing their strengths and weaknesses. Very easy to see why Leipzig would be after him.
 
once again woodward has screwed up, he obviously has lost a little faith in mourinho by undermining his transfer targets this summer and the club could once again be in a panic short term reactive position instead of a well thought out pro-active position in relation to our managerial situation
 
I know this a bit knee-jerk, but I've been very impressed with Santo from Wolves. He could be exactly the kind of project that a Manchester United manager should be.
 
The next manager will be an (almost) one season caretaker role. Villas-Boas, Hiddink, Di Matteo and the like are the ones to be looking at.

Watched his interview after the City game. Very impressed as well. Communicates very well in English, calm and surprisingly tall man.
 
Feel for him - we turned up first half and then just dropped off. I actually think we setup in the right way but if we can't score and kill a game you're toast in the PL.

At this point in time it doesn't matter - LVG and Mourhino have both won trophys but where has it really got us?

It's time to take a risk with the next manager I'm not fussed if they've won anything or not. As long as they invest in the youth, play good attacking football and have a clear system and can coach and improve the players then I don't mind who we get.
 
Andy Gray has just suggested we hire Roberto Martinez and I didn't immediately scoff. That's how disillusioned I am at life with Mourinho.

Depending on what our future plans are, I'd take the likes of Laurent Blanc as a caretaker for a half season. Zidane is tempting but seems more like the obvious choice than the right choice, if that makes sense, which is the mistake we made with Mourinho.
 
I would choose Neville because I think he's intelligent or I'd choose Zidane because I think he could draw talent to the club.
 
Sadly we will be in a similar position this summer to when LVG was fired. The best manager for the club had already gone to another a year earlier and that was Klopp who we should have got in after Ferguson. The perfect manager for the club come this summer will be taking over Leipzig, already agreed.
I look at the list for the poll and see some big managers that in a different way are another Mourinho like appointment, the right manager for now but not longer term. Of the rest most are either not good enough and/or not attainable due to being at rivals anyway.
For those reasons if Mourinho was to go I see Zidane as the only option other than the huge gamble of appointing an ex-great like Giggs, Butt, Neville or the like. The thing with Zidane is he already had a great squad, he didnt need to make signings and those he did were very young bar Morata who I have always thought was over rated and certainly looks it at Chelsea.
NOt only are we in a right mess now, but I really dont see who would be the man to take over I would have huge confidence in from those possibly available. Add that to would the board back selling of players the manager wanted rid of being hypothetical like say Lukaku> WOuld they back wholesale change again and several new signings in the summer?
 
Curious to hear what the Bundesliga fans think, as Tedesco seems like he has the strongest resume of the younger coaches (beat Nagelsmann for #1 in his academy, immediately saved a relegation team at low level then immediately fixed Schalke while losing productive players) and this year he's lost Kehrer, Goretzka and Meyer and replaced them with lower rated players so if he has another strong year I feel like he's the safest choice.

But he plays 3 at the back and at the moment it's hard to fathom us having 3 competent CBs, though I suppose it's possible Smalling could be the aerial presence Naldo is (not half the footballer though), one of Bailly or Lindelof could thrive under him and a 3rd starting CB could be signed. We'd also need a RWB but would need one anyways.

It would probably suit Sanchez, Lukaku and Martial to fight for 2 spots upfront though, and Pogba-Herrera-Fred seems like a mobile enough group of midfielders to do a job going forward with higher pressing.
 
Jardim for me. I still back Jose till the end. He is a true winner. But its obvious the board want to go to the route of developing young players to save money and suck more cash out the club. Jardim is the man. He proved he can set up defensively on the counter one year. Remember them tearing up Arsenal. And the next when he had more resources he proved he can play possession football too. Poch is a good manager but we outplayed spurs today who have a better team in almost all areas they are superior and if it wasnt for Jones being a donkey for two goals and Lukaku being Lukaku then we would've won. I think Jose proved to everyone today that its the players that are lacking and not him. Its sad that you know he will be thrown under the bus.

I used to think the same in honesty. The reason I voted for him though is I like his style of play and youth is a huge part of his game. He bonds well with his guys, has a good few years experience in the league and champions league and give him 200m of money, he could be much much better. The only issue is if big stars want to play for him. ZZ is probably the favourite and will get the job but if not Poch I would risk it and go for Giggs until the end of the year.
