Next Man U manager?

Eddie Howe a cert IMO

McKenna

Howe is most fancied by Jason Wilcox, director of football.

Nuts to take the job - the place is toxic and the players aren't that good.

Love the theory, that the introduction of VAR sent them on a never-ending downward spiral.

Wilcox is the man that advised extending Ten Haag's contract, then brought in Amorim and then Carrick, why does he get a another chance to pick another new manager

Potter

Because he can and it's his job basically - plus others wanted Howe before too.

Harry Potter ?

ok I'll put it another way so you understand what I'm saying, why is he not being sacked for incredibly incompetent, there's no way someone with that record should be in his position of powers, but all accounts his resume/track record was no where near good enough to be getting his job in the first place.

extend Ten Haag contract off of the back of emotion, winning a cup
bring in Amorim who's system rarely works in the Premier League
bring in a manager who couldn't get Boro promoted from the 2nd tier.

So now Ratcliff is giving him another go to find another manager

lol

It's fairly moot whether we agree, but he has the job and the main force in the pick.

I don't think he does anymore, Ratcliff cannot be that daft, he's a billionaire businessman, he must know when someone isn't doing their job, he'll probably be gone with Carrick, be surprised if he wasn't.

Eddie Howe is a bang average manager, They might as well shut-up OT if he is appointed.

He's consistently progressed teams beyond what they started as when he arrived, so not sure how we say he's bang average.

He's never managed a club as big as Utd, but done very well with weaker starting points and clubs.

United need a heart transplant, a kidney transplant, a liver transplant and new lungs.

The next manager will have his work cut out avoiding relegation.

He left Newcastle in very bad shape having to sell. He also saw off numerous DOFs at Newcastle so can't seem him being happy accepting the tripe Wilcox is buying.

I've taken the 50's on Hurzel

He already stated he doesn't want it HN.

In other news, article on the club website


'Maguire: We need to improve'

Maybe he's going for the player manager job with such insight

Fits the profile of likely to be placid and that's the only quality required.

He's the guy that used to play on the left wing for Blackburn Rovers in the 90s. How the hell did he end up in this position?

My thoughts too, Sofa.

Sure Wilcox left rippley right
SAS up top
Great four for Blackburn

Breaking news....

A source close to Ineos has revealed that Sir Dave Brailsford is set to be announced as the new Manchester United Manager following Carrick's departure with Chris Froome taking up the position of Assistant Manager/Fitness Coach.

I heard a rumour it’s Lorraine Kelly…..

I've just checked and Ron Atkinson is still alive.

That's what they need, a reducer in midfield (a Big Ronism).

Sammi Alladichi still available

That Michael Carrick has survived the morning indicates United's prefered replacement isn't readily available.

Or that no one wants the job

Any chance of securing Lance Armstrong as team Doctor?

Carrick to remain - poor guy, the fall-guy for Chel (a), Villa and Liverpool coming up

Blimey, his fingernails must have been worn away with all that 'clinging' to this job he's managed to do!

Be funny if both Manchester clubs got relegated

Or United finished 3rd from bottom but got saved by a huge points deduction for City
