Zizou will be stΓ»pid to accept United's job. Who are the players he is gonna use to win something?! Are we ready to be patient and allow him to build a team for 3yrs?! LOL!
no sensible manager with a good record will jeopardise his profile by accepting to manage this team. However, I pray he accepts it so that I will see how patient our in-house HR managers for him to get it right

I know you will disagree if I said our home Stadium is Old Trafford because you are wired to always take a different turn from mine for whatever reason that I care less about...

At Manchester United, we do not have the luxury of waiting for decades any longer because we have the finances to get us the best managers and players. I am not against Ten Hag because I hate him but because when I do a comparative analysis of what we spend vis-a-vis our rivals and try to project where we should be, we are far off (It does not even look like we have made a step further). ETH came in and I, like many others were excited based on what he achieved when he was at Ajax not just in the Eredivisie but in the UCL...Has he lived up to expectations? No...We still play like ours is a football club packed with strangers but I should stick with ETH even when I'm certain I'm not God thus can be wrong sometimes...I am happy to disappoint you, I am not that person...

ETH has failed thus far because we can't see imprints of his ideas and style and worst of we are not showing any signs of progress...Show him the door!
Oga, manutd is in for a long hiatus. It may not take decades but I doubt if any magic will occur that will see us winning the epl in the next five years. If we like make we dey change managers every month, the situation will only get worse.

You know the manager has to earn that stability yeah? There is no club in the world where that is the default behavior. If half of the team is not playing as you want them to or something close, you have already failed as a manager. This does not apply to football alone
unfortunately yes. It's not easy to inherit a dysfunctional team.

Everyone that needs to be blamed. I'm sure you have seen, heard and read about fans criticizing players, the manager and this structure. But you draw the line at fans criticizing the manager
if the club should sack the manager today, I will not bat an eyelid. That is because I am not not at h tree helms. However, if I was at the helms, I would let them know that sacking managers is not the solution. The manager position should be more stable than the players. This is my opinion, not holy writ.

Poor manager. Very helpless and timid. The club didn't give him any player and the players have refused to play as a team. But he won the carling cup last season, so the vision is clear. But if its not, blame the structure and those at the helm
the manager will blame the players for his problems.
The club hierarchy will blame the manager for their problems.
The fans should blame........ Who?

You refer to Arteta and Klopp but you must forget that with those, the project was clear from day one. Arteta won an FA cup in his first season playing exactly the way he plays now. It was not perfect but you could see the vision.
The absolute lack of direction is my problem with ten hag. And no amount of "building" should mean that we have almost zero good games in an entire season and be dragging stats with Luton and Sheffield
If the project is not clear in the case of manutd, then blame those at the helms, not the manager. The manager does not dictate the project,.

Mind you, ETH also won a trophy in his first season, but you chose not to see any vision

Mr man every coach deals with these things. You are not talking to kids here. It's the job of the coach to mold the team to his image and how he wants them to play. Klopp will make 5 changes and bring in kids yet they will still dominate and play their usual football. cohesion ko collision ni. Just see the silly excuse you are coming up with.
and how did Klopp fare in his early seasons?

Shey nor be the coach job to make the team play as a unit πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
what happens when a player like Greenwood decides to always overlook Ronald's side. Or you were not aware of this issue?

And if these two people are so important to the team, the manager may eventually take the blame for their acts, when it is not actually his fault. Team. Dynamics go beyond thinking the manager caneffecrively manage the personnel at his disposal.

On another note, you guys will only keep asking questions just to find a flaw in the comments to hold on to.

Who is responsible and accountable for the implementation of these things you described?
the manager will only try. It is up to the players to really get an understanding of themsleves.
Have you tried managing a group of people who share no cohesion amongst themsleves?

Sorry ignore good football. Let's use your own which is consistency with a particular football philosophy. Going into next season, what's the particular football philosophy at Old Trafford?
This questions can only be answered by those at the helms bro. How do you expect me to provide answer to this.

However, consistency is only possible when players have a perfect understanding of what the manager wants to achieve and they strive towards this objective. But while doing this, they may or may not get the desired results. The consequence of this is 'pressure on the manager'.



In my own opinion, manager is not the club's major problem. Team cohesion is more important and this can only be achieved when players have better understanding of themsleves on the pitch.

No matter how good Mainoo is, if there is no proper understanding between him, Casemiro and Fernandes, we will continue to see disjointed movements. The same goes for Garnacho, Hojlund and whoever makes the attack line.

This also goes for the defence set up.

Invariably, a team becomes better when the individual players play as a unit, not as individuals. Our players are yet to really play as a unit, probably because there is a lack of understanding amongst them

So looking at how Arsenal, City, LFC and co started under this their current coaches, how long do you think is okay to endure rubbish? I hope you won't reference 30 years ago again o.

I'm not talking about actually competing for major trophies, just to see consistent good football
Good football.... What is good football? grin

Is it possession football?
Is it counter attacking football?
Is it gengen pressing?
Is it tikitaka?
Is it transition football?


Football on the field depends on either the club's footballing philosophy or the manager's football philosophy.


Inter Milan has been more consistent over the years in the Italian league. I don't know if they play good football or not. But at least, they have been consistent.

The early days of Jose in Chelsea, with the likes of Essien, Makelele, Obi, Lampard. They played a kind of football, I don't know if it can be called good football but I bet Chelsea fans enjoy watching the team week-in week-out.

Good football, just like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder.


I don't know what you refer to as good football but I know that Consistency with a particular football philosophy is what brings glory and success.

@lekkie073 how long do you think is enough to wait and see us play a good game considering we're not stuck in 1990 and can't be making reference to that era? Every other team is moving and moving fast, so how long? Remember we're not even talking about winning trophies or contesting for trophies, like just have a good game consistently.
arsenal seems to be playing good football and getting results now. How long did they wait to get to where they are.

For close to 30 years, a once dominant force (Liverpool) was in the abyss of mediocrity. Even as at now, they are yet to beat their chest to say they have arrived.

If mancity should continue with their spending and Guardiola continues getting his like-for-like replacements, then it's gonna being ride for manutd because we are not even ready to compete. For now, only Liverpool and arsenal seems to have the stability needed to compete with mancity

Even if I pick a manager and he doesn't deliver, I will still call for his sack...If you have a problem then, that's your headache.
this shows that you don't have a functional thought process. You will support whoever is coming, then go on to disprove of such if things go south.

Its so easy to sit on a chair and brandish solutions to problems that you are not adept at solving. The last time we discussed this was when OLe left. Ragnick came and you were all over place with optimism until the reality of the situation dawned and you embarked on a crying session.

TEN HAGG came and your optimism level rose, all for it to go south again when the reality of the situation dawned again.

For how long are you going to toe this line of increased-optimism-turned-crying?

Let me tell you what you should just know. Eras come to an end. And it takes a while for a once glorious club to reach its peak again, especially when competition becomes intensified.

The glory years of Liverpool came and gone. The club is trying to bring it back, not successful yet.

The glory years of arsenal as a contending force (under Arsene) came and gone, the club is still trying to replicate such, and it might come soon.

The glory years of Chelsea came with Abrahamovich/Jose. Right now, the club is a shadow of what it used to be.

The glory years of Manchester United came with fergie and ended with him. We are trying all possibilities to get it back, which would not be easy too.

We are in the glory years of Manchester city/Guardiola. It will not last forever, but it will take its rightful course.


No matter how hard we try, there is a high possibility that arsenal will win the epl before manutd in the event of Mancity's eventual decline.


But you may not accept all these because you have been used to seeing winning trophies as an exclusive right of Manchester United. It is not.


Any world class manager with a sense of pride will run away from managerial role in Manchester United because they know it is a hot seat that can put a blemish on their rich managerial profile. To assemble an unbeatable team ( right manager and right players simultaneously) is not a matter of one or two seasons.

If you are blessed with a manager with a proven record and such is not performing in two seasons, calling for his head will only amount to starting all over again. Reflect back on the early seasons of Jurgen klopp finishing in mid table. There are many more indices that can be used to understand the present predicament of the club, not just focusing on the managerial roles alone.

you will always complain about any manager that comes. Maybe the board should ask you to personally pick a manager. Then, you will stop being a perennial complainant. How long was Fergie here before he could solidify his stay to guarantee success?

Bro, read exactly what I said and don't form your own wrongful interpretation. I'll make a quote.

"How can I hail the manager as superb and wonderful and say he's the next best thing on planet earth and then switch in few months to say he's a clown that deserves to be killed?"

Up there is what I said. πŸ‘†πŸ‘†πŸ‘†. Do you get it now?

It's one thing to say you don't support the manager and can't see what he's doing. But how can you go from hyping up a manager to that level of toxicity in few months. That's flip-flopping whether you like it or not.

Saying a manager is clueless is different from saying he's a clown that deserves to be killed. Except you're the type that throws words around carelessly.
flip-flopping is a hobby to some people.

If these ones were available during Ferguson's early years, dem go don call for his head.
