two possible outsiders for the Man United manager

after moyes calamity they need a big name with a track record of winning titles and doing well in champs league

another dud now could rock them for a good few years

son of moyes

They could do worse than lure Juup Heynckes out of retirement. He is 68, however. Or the Switzerland manager Ottmar Hitzfeld, who is 65. Interestingly, the latter has announced he is retiring from his job after the World Cup in July so will be free then. Both are double Champions League winners (along with Mourinho and the late Happel, the only ones to win to it twice). I think United need an experienced chap for a couple of years to rebuild. Both will relish the prospect of winning the Champions League with three different clubs, the Holy Grail for managers.

wont be klopp,he's just tweeted that he stays where he is.

They asked Ferguson for another recommendation and he said Darren Ferguson on a 10 year contract.

'Arry Redknapp assisted by Roy Keane

media dream team.

dont know why fat sam isnt in the betting,route one straight to fellaini up front,perfect combo.

John Sitton - he'll sort 'em all out.

Arsene wenger needs a new challenge

Rudi Garcia could be a clever choice. (Although there's no chance he actually will be the choice!)  He's considerably strengthened every team he's gone to, and has a good eye for business. Plays strong attacking football, but builds from strong defensive foundations. Ambitious, and could do very well at a big club. Taking that Roma side to a very impressive second place is no mean achievement.

Paulo Di Canio!

is wilf mcguiness still knocking about?

Bring back Big Ron

with the player power at utd we could end up going down the chelski route here,for terry read rio and co

bruce forsyth looking for a new job

plenty of experience of tv too

Ancelotti has won it twice with Milan hasn't he? Old Trafford versus Juve and the revenge job on Liverpool.

But Man Utd aren't in the Champions League?

Can't believe Rafa's a three figure price tbh CCM

sparky and bruce ex players, experienced managers won f1ck all but good at keeping teams in the division and would make a great double act

That's my biggest worry RF! I think they'd do brilliantly to get him, and of the realistic candidates he must be near the best.

Can't decide whether he would go for it. Obviously he would immediately sever his relationship with Liverpool fans, but I think that would bother him less than my mates do. Think he would put his career first and it's clearly a massive job.

Can't see Utd going for it at all, mind you.

I think, even with their admittedly limited knowledge of football, the Glazers realise that employing Rafa would end in a lynching.

woy will be looking for a job in july

Neil Lennon

Used to goldfish bowl working conditions (allbeit on a lower level)
Done as much as he can in existing job
Inexpensive in comparison with others
Wouldn't take any sh1t
Lesser ego than many in the frame - a necessity since the overhaul of Man Utd will take a couple of years and will dent many bigger egos, especially those used to / demanding CL football
66/1

lennon has done nothing special up there.

couldn't win the SPL until rangers imploded and is now picking up titles in a non competitive bankrupt league.
he went out of the champions league in bottom place in the group stages and had an early exit from both domestic cup competitions up there.

wouldn't think any team in the EPL far less man utd would be even slightly interested in him.

Neil Lennon it is. Won many titles with Celtic aswell as beating Barcelona

Van Gaal, Ancelotti - hiddink or Martinez as ousiders. Those are only 4 I can see going unless Klopp does a U turn

More importantly Lennon is Scottish - nailed on cert imo!

Wenger out of contract. Reminds me of when he took over from Bruce Rioch.

Benitez far more likely than some of the regular names, like O'Neill, Bruce, Keane, Neville. You could make a case he's more likely than Giggs, and Benitez is 10x the price.

Laurent Blanc got to have a chance for me, though again it would require a U-turn.

Telegraph/Guardian can't remember which one said Blanc been ruled out, whatever that's worth.

Surely the professor will submit his impeccable cv.  Too bad it looks like these owners are trying to recruit a manager like an 8 year old child.

Yeah. Blanc ruled himself out yesterday and is due to or has just signed a new contract at PSG. Though I never 100% believe the "I'm ruling myself out" line.

Paper was suggesting he's been ruled out by United.

Directors  must be  accountable  to share-holders at clubs  ...where player power ..(TRY ) to run clubs , and demands are expected to be met ..by fans  ...are we saying that players are not trying 100% in games . ..did d.m. get them ---OFF - SIDE BY ROONEY'S DEMANDS BEING MET ...
REMEMBER it was quoted that he was in bad books ?   ... players must be allowed to  make a statement to clear the air  of  what is really levelled at them. as a group of  how many ? ...this was from early  on in  the season ..?  very messy  for new blood coming in to face  the clear out that is maybe ? needed ..All a bit fishy  ? and not totally understood ...Always said the wage structure at the club is wrong .
we are in a TEAM GAME  BUSINESS .AND SOMETHINGS DON'T ADD UP   .     yes I am good at sums  ...more so if  unpalatable demands  are on the agenda ..................

as long as he doesn't end up at Norwich

has anyone mentioned Del Bosque? Surely will have had enough of Spain after the World Cup.

No mention of Capello?

Ally McCoist spotted buying a one one ticket this afternoon in Buchanan Bus Station

notice Del Bosque is the same odds as Pulis

utd as a multi national buisness are in the mire,

out of ch lg and announce to the worlds slippiest agents they,ve 200 million to spend,already announced rooneys on north of 250,000, think there,ll be felini tyopes  queuing around the block for a slice of the pie

were the fans short -changed until the banner went up ,  and brought the whole lot to a head ?
not in favour of fan power either .
had me shaking my head , as the team floundered, and allowed opposition to swamp us .
I think it happened a lot ....... and weak directors have had it too ....cosy for 26 years ...
between the lot ...... we are now a laughing stock , trying to cover it all up  .
and easy way out sack the manager  ...   rather than ask some  A. B. C.  QUESTIONS  WHERE IS IT GOING WRONG ...
ON EASY STREET WITH DECISIONS MADE FOR THEM  ....
ALLOWED THE CHOSEN ONE TO FRAZZLE ON HIS OWN DESPITE FERGUSON ASKING FOR TIME AND A LONG CONTRACT TO SORT IT out .
p.t.b  supported the ( one ) as far as was possible .
HE  KNEW IT WAS ALL F**KED   UP .. NEVER MISSES GAMES AT HELM 24/7  .
S.A.F. SHOULD HAVE LOOKED TO DIRECTORS  WITH THE    ( SPEECH  ABOUT SUPPORT ).HE KNEW IT WAS HARD TO CONTROL   HENCE A SHOT ACROSS THE BOUGH  ...?
