Next manager discussion (poll reset 21/05/2016)

[scottym]

The Independent are suggesting that Mourinho is being announced as United manager today...

They're reporting that AS in Spain are saying that. Although it still may be true.

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

I'm not concerned by the time being taken. It means we're being careful in finding the right person. It's not as if somebody could come in tomorrow and analyse the squad immediately; all the players will be on their holidays now anyway. I hope none of the out-of-contract players are offered extensions, and I also hope any new manager realises, quickly, that we need to get rid of Niasse, McGeady and Kone as soon as possible. Then, with a lot of money freed up in wages, our biggest ever transfer budget and a massive TV deal contributing even more money, he can take stock of what's required and start filling the holes in the squad. It doesn't matter who it is, he'll have players he has had his eye on for his previous team, and will no doubt try and bring some of his best players with him too if possible. It'll all be fine.

I like the cut of your jib sir, common sense, calm heads, and positivity are the order of the day following last seasons disaster. getting the appointment spot on is vital. As long as it's done by the time the euros are up and running we'll be fine.

Biesla would be an exciting move but you can disaster all over this one.

He can’t speak English, how to communicate well with the players?

Rather see Rooney lift his last trophy for United before he comes home in the summer..

And Pardew is a utter weapon.

Link? Can't see anything on the more reliable websites. Agree with you about pardew. Would rather see united win than have pardew's smug dial all over the place

Is that FDB on Sportscene (BBC One Scotland)? Wearing a blue jacket?

Edit: It's Ron. They do look rather alike!

In this day and age I wouldn't rule anything out until it is done and dusted and officially announced.

Exactly, pretty sure everyone remembers sky and bbc reporting byram was about to sign

Can't make my mind up if it would be a great sign of intent, or abit like when that Thai bloke took Robinho to city.... But I'm beginning to think I may be abit of a cynic

This delay makes me think we could be waiting on Steve Bruce and the result of the championship playoff final.

Thats my Saturday ruined

Mark Hughes is rumoured to be resigning from Stoke.

Why must you be so mean?

I think we are after Koeman, I know the press have dismissed him as a potential Everton manager as he wants to stay at Southampton until the Arsenal job becomes available. De Boer may well be second choice.
