Manchester United

We say our manager’s job is a poisoned chalice but United’s is the definition of poisonous. Ten Haag the latest to fail to live up to the indelible standards set by Sir Alex
In the 80’s my Utd supporting mate used to say that they wouldn’t win the league until Busby karks it, such was the shadow he cast over every manager . He was only a year or so out tbf
 

It's great to see this long may it continue.
Although 2 trophies...we'd sell grandparents for that

Of course. But their fanbase expect them regardless of who's in charge. Ole got them 3rd and 2nd but lost a Europa League final. So after 2 and half years the fanbase and owners felt he could never bring success even though he's the only manager post SAF to get them back to back top 4. But isn't looked favourably over LVG, Jose, and even ETH cos they all brought trophies home at the expense of the league (bar Jose's 2nd place finish).

They expect a manager to compete for the title AND domestic trophies.

We all should mate.
 

….i like managers who ‘live’ the game and from what I’ve heard he even watches marches in his spare time. Sounds like old school fanatic but modern outlook, I think he’ll have a chance after a procession of failures.
I seen the opposite saying he likes to switch off and is a proper family man 😂
