I do not want Niko Kranjcar at United.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I do not want Niko Kranjcar at United.
No idea who United should go for but I think the club need to go back to basics. Whoever it is needs to have a vision of playing attacking football.
I think Blanc would do well. Unfortunately we won’t need an interm manager. Everyone at the club can see the writing on the wall but we won’t act until top 4 is unattainable.
The next manager has to be someone who will have a attacking philosophy. We've been down the experienced route and that hasn't worked.
I would seriously consider Eddie Howe for the job with Rene Mulensteen as his assistant. Howe is someone that sets up to play football and has done a fantastic job at Bournemouth.

I never considered Eddie Howe a serious contender for the job due to his lack of experience at the highest level and no silverware. I also thought he might crumble under the pressure.
I've changed my mind, give him a chance - we've literally got nothing to lose now.
I’ll take almost anyone until the end of the season. Something has to give here.
I was of the same opinion as you too, regards going for experience, but not anymore. We need to bring someone in who will start to recreate an attacking identity at the club and I would be happy to see Howe given that task.
Agree nothing to lose now. We're already in the midtable and if howe came we're not getting relegated either because he's kept a Bournemouth team with lesser players competitive for a long time already. The only way is forward
There are literally no top options available to us, and disturbingly enough we have Bayern and Real Madrid chasing the same guys. You think it’s only about sacking Mourinho and it’s all good? Trust me, it could be worse. Our bord have one hell of a task at hand
Should include in the contract ( attacking football )
Can we get Eddie Howe on the potential next managers list? @Raoul
Can it get any worse? Only Southampton have created less chances than us this season. We can only go up from our current predicament and a negative goal difference. Worst start in 28 years..
Don't feel like Woodward will get it right anyway. He's just as big an issue as Jose is for me. We need to be sold so the Glazers, Ed n Jose are all gone. I just hope it's not to the Saudis if and when we are sold. Shambles of a club right now. Rudderless.
Surely this can't be right!?
Howe would be Moyes mrk II
Incredibly naive to think managering little Bournemouth is any kind of qualification to becoming manager of Manchester United
Things are bad right now and we all want change but Mourinho has delivered two trophies and a 2nd place finish with an FA Cup Final appearance, things can get a lot worse so let's not let things get any worse by hiring someone like Howe

Howe is nothing like Moyes, their footballing philosophies are a world apart.
He's a better manager than Mourinho. But I agree, we shouldn't give him the full time job. I wouldn't mind him till the end of the season though, just to sort out this Mourinho mess.
Jose will remain until we are mathematically won't finish in the top 4.
1- how is that relevant?
2- the job Moyes did with Everton was much more impressive than what Howe has done with Bournemouth - don't forget where Everton were when Moyes took over, don't forget how long he was their manager for never in any relegation danger, consistently sniffing around the top 4/6
Moyes was never in a million years the right appointment and neither is Howe
Pochettino has been the man from the day LVG was sacked.
Who cares who we get? It won't make any difference. As long as the club is being run as a money making machine for the Glazers we will never be where we want to be. A new manager may give us a bit of short term hope but it would be papering over the cracks.
The whole culture at the club is wrong. The tone is set from the top which is the owners. Woodward is doing exactly what he has been asked to do. Develop the club as a business and make money. We will never win the PL again with the Glazers as owners. We only
won it under them previously because we started at such a high level and had SAF. The erosion has been happening for years.

Ftfy
Moyes was never a Man Utd manager due to how he set his team up and how they played football. Just another Sam Allardyce as far as I'm concerned. He was fortunate he was good pals with SAF which led him to getting the job.
Eddie Howe is a forward thinking manager who plays attractive football the way a top club like ours should be playing. He's doesn't send out his teams to play the shit on a stick football we saw under Moyes or are currently seeing under Mourinho.
All in for Poch.
Roberto Martinez is also a forward thinking manager, as is Brendon Rodgers and both of those have more qualifications to be Manchester United over Eddie Howe and I sure as hell don't want either of them either
Surely Madrid bound and if he isn't why would he want to swap Spurs for us? Ok we're on another stratosphere in terms of club size but he'd be swapping Vertonghen for Smalling, Eriksen for Mata, Kane for Lukaku
The club should just throw £100m at Guardiola and steal him from City.
Roberto Martinez and Brendan Rodgers have had their chance. Rodgers to be fair should've won the league if Slippy G didn't take a tumble. But like I said, they've both had their chance and I wouldn't want them either.
I personally would give the opportunity to someone like Eddie Howe who I feel will go onto manage a big club in Europe. The article below sheds light on Howe's attack minded philosophy.

Then so be it. Moyes MK 2 is no different to Jose Season 3. What needs to happen is quick appointments of managers and then sacking of managers so we get to go through a shed load with minimal secondary effects for failures whilst hopefully identiying the one that fits the clubs ethos and helps us grow in to a world wide force that stays in the cloud high for a long lasting time.
If we get rid of Jose now, we could arguably give the job to Butt, Howe and carrick all in a space of 360 days. Ie give the job to butt until the end of the season, if it doesnt work give it to Howe and if that doesnt work give it to carrick. 3 positions out with minimal damage & 3 less managers we have to contemplate whether they are any good for us.
Where would that end? City are a bottomless pit
Stephen Kenny is available after not getting the Ireland job
Thank Christ you're just a fan on the internet
Forget talks of winter war chests, skip signing any player with this clown in charge and go all out to buy Poch out of his contract whatever it takes.
We want someone who’ll stay beyond the customary 2-3 years, check.
Develops young players, check.
Attacking, pressing football, check.
And well experienced in the league. An absolute no brainier, any other coach will cost the club a hell a lot more should it go wrong after the 100% fail rate post-Fergie.

Likewise you. You are just the opposite of me, your backing of Jose has made you blind to taking a risk on an up and coming manager. You are ultimately a fan that prioritises success first over anything else and that resembles with Jose's heart, head, tactics, mind and wife.
On the other hand - I support United for a reason that is attributable to an ethos that cannot be simply replicated at other clubs and is far deeper than just winning. From the young players, from the homegrown managers being given a chance even if they done win a damn title ( boo hoo
), the attacking tactical football that makes teams come to United and be scared or reactive against us rather than the other way around where our own team are scared at OT.Anyway - you my friend can simply be described as this; you are at your core a supporter of the likes of Real Madrid, Inter Milan , Chelsea, Porto whilst I am at my core a supporter of Barcelona, AC Milan, Manchester United and Benfica. Hint hint - one type of club has a history of what they do that they revolve around in generations whilst the others pray and beg for success over anything else and will sell their soul to do it. One type of supporter needs Jose and the others are simply banishing of someone who was never in our club identity.
anyway This was lovely!
Howe next
and if he comes and fails then so be it!This is a ridiculous post. There are literally 100 managers in the world that could have us in 8th place or better given 400 million and 5 windows like Jose. This is an absolute red herring often thrown out there by Jose defenders "oh, it might get worse if we replace him". IT CAN'T GET ANY WORSE. We are in 8th place for Christ's sake. We are drawing at home to Crystal Palace!!! We have absolutely nothing to lose by replacing Jose. What? Would we finish in 10th instead of 8th? Give me a break.
What an arrogant post. So many people seem to want an experienced, proven winner, but there really aren't many around, and they've tried and failed here.
We have to have a vision and find a manager that has the potential to become a winner when given the resources that we can offer. Could Howe make that step up? Could Nuno Espirito Santo? We will never know without giving these guys a chance. We just need a progressive, attack minded manager and it would completely transform the attitudes of the supporters and the players. Hell, some people want serial losers in Poch or Klopp simply because of the football they play, who's to say the lesser names couldn't match what they are doing right now?
We're now at the stage where we need to give a up and coming manager the chance to succeed.
What we need right now is someone with a vision that befits Manchester United. Someone who will take the game to our rivals and not play the cowardly football we've seen in the last 6 years.
But it seems some people are still having trouble getting past the idea of giving a potentially great manager a chance due to them being unproven. We're midtable with with a negative goal difference and have had our worst start to a season for 28 years with a manager who is as proven and experienced as they come, having had almost £400m to spend and we still play shit football.

How about we sell and buy someone in the January window whose quality is unquestionable and to try to do as good as we can this season and leave the new manager better options than Darmian, Jones, Rojo, Young and Valencia?
I'm also not sure how other managers would cost us more. Poch would cost a huge amount and wouldn't be a guaranteed success either. And if we he would decide to quit Spurs despite his new contract and their NFL project and whatnot, I can't see him wanting to join another EPL club, especially with Real also lurking around.
Amazing how opinions change. Started a thread last season on the prospects of Eddie Howe becoming our manager. Thread got binned caf members calling it a brain fart etc. Looks like he'd be welcomed now by quite a large number of posters. Thought locking the thread was unjustified. Looks like I was right.
Roy Keane as an interim until the end of the season?
