Just for the global red fume I’d love it if Gurning Klopp went to Old Trafford on a five year deal. I know it can’t happen but OMG what a hysterical palaver there would be. Sky would dedicate a complete new 24 hour channel to it.
What would you think of that @EverTheOptimist ? Who would the RS get? You might have to start supporting Everton!
 

Ha. Managing Neymar, Mbappe, and Messi in a farmer's league isn't all it's up to be I guess.

Most sortafter manager who's only won the French league cup

Think on paper and in FIFA its a wonderful idea, however managers there are just glorified position holders. Its not a team, too many big personalities and famous names. Owner wanting hollywood, Leonardo is meant to be a nightmare and nobody will last long there. Its actually a poisoned chalice. At least at Utd he will be given time, money and he can manage a team

Please don’t put Klopp on the same tier as Guardiola. Pep is better in whatever metric you want to look at. Trophies won, style of play, player development, sustaining performance. He does all of it much better.

Pochettino would be a good fit at United and would have enough quality on the pitch to implement his style. He’d take them back into the top 4 easily and have them competitive in the CL. United would take that right now as opposed to where they were. I know that’s not very palatable for you but the days of Spurs United Arsenal Chelsea all having poor managers whilst you waited for City’s off year to win anything are gradually coming to an end. Tuchel is starting to get under your collective skin and once Conte and Poch start revving up as well it will be good to see how the kopites react to another top 4 battle.

Amazing how easy it's to win trophies when you have THAT Barca team, then take over the richest German team coming off a treble who then add Gotze, Hummels and Lewandowski the summer Pep arrives from your nearest rivals Dortmund, then take over a state owned petro dollar team and spend £900 million, i think the chances of winning "lots" of trophies significantly rises don't you think Mate.

What i find shocking is how Pep never won a CL with that Bayern team in Three seasons, but at least Pep won 3 domestic doubles in that farmer's league to pad his stats, such a achievement winning Bundesliga's and domestic cups with Bayern right with all that fierce competition and winning the bundesliga in Febuary, i'm still baffled how City have flopped in the CL after he's spent over £900 million in 4 years.

Poch won't do anything at United, won't win a PL and or CL, the whole club is a laughable absolute mess from top to bottom, Glazer's more concerned with the share price, Fergie's still calling the shots and choosing the next manager's, recruitment is laughable and Woodward is staying, nothing has changed to even contemplate they will get back to past glories asap with that setup.

Spurs have an awful squad, only decent players in it are Kane and Son and one will be off soon, they have no money and Conte will be gone in 18 months time about the same time frame of Mourinho's stint.

The top 3 have nothing to worry about for the next 4-5 years from Spurs Arsenal or United.

Dont know how many times you have posted this about Pep, but jealousy is an ugly trait. As for repeating myself, why dont you do one ya kopite tit? Your posts are boring now.

He hasn't won a thing yet, and if he stays and ends up winning a French title with Messi, Neymar Ramos Mbappe, Donnaruma and Verrati in a Farmer's league that won't change my mind, he's not a tier one manager like Pep, Klopp and Tuchel and hasn't shown he belongs with those names, he's on that rung with the Rodgers and Arteta's of the World and those two won more than him.

Their squad is a mess with players from four manager's they sacked, Poch likes to play a highline, so that Means DDG who's absolute awful with his feet and stays rooted his spot, Maguire has shown the World he cannot play a high line and when he does it has laughable consequences, and Shaw and AWB get nose bleeds crossing the halfway line, then we get to the midfield of McFred in CM who cannot press their shirts, then we have the soon to be 37 year old connundrum called Ronaldo who supposed to press from the front who had the least pressures in Europe's top 5 leagues last season with 5 per game and he's still averaging 5 a game this season, and Greenwood and Rashford were not far behind with 6 per game last season, contrast that with Jota who led the Leagues with 19 per game.

So that is 7 players to bring in to play the Poch way, and good luck trying to get rid of those players i listed on stupid wages, they still have the likes of Jones, Mata and Matic on their books, United post Fergie don't do long term, intergrating 7 players takes time, and drilling a pressing style, that's what 2 seasons there, then the 3rd season comes the expectation to win the big ones and when they are behind their 2 biggest rivals the Glazer's feel the heat from the fans and pull the trigger.

Poch is awful in Europe, he spawned getting to a CL with late winners in games they should have lost, rest of his CL record is awful, one last 16 and 2 times couldn't get out of the groups, and i'm not including the 8-1 spanking at home by Bayern before he got sacked, at least he gets a nice pay off in 3 years time though.

I hope they get Poch.
