Today's Football 2018-19 Season

Doesn't yesterdays triumph for Wolves perhaps make United's board's decision to not knee jerk and obey the public clamour from their fans after PSG to make Solskjaer's position permanent, but instead wait and see what develops, look very wise now? -

After three very poor appointments they know they can't make it four in a row and have to get it right.

Pogba was right back to being the frustrated and ineffective player he was at his worst times, Lingard and Martial looked rushed back and not ready, and their whole display was by far the poorest in Olé's reign, they looked second best, even third best (if that was possible
:D
).

I admit I would be seriously looking at the Pochettino situation if I was their board, he's virtually been shouting 'get me out of here, we're going nowhere' - so many problems, its hard to see how Spurs can progress with the financial straightjacket of new stadium debt, no transfers and a strict wage structure with potentially star players leaving.

He's hinted they can't really compete on a level playing field for another five to ten years well past some of the current squad's sell by date. He's proven himself at Southampton and now by putting Spurs amongst the very elite group of premier league clubs when they have no real right to be anywhere near.

The cautionary note :-

Di Matteo won the Champions League at Chelsea with a string of quite extraordinary results as temporary manager, beating Barca in the semis and Bayern at their home ground in the final - they were almost obliged to make it permanent, they couldn't not give it to him.

The next installment of his tenure wasn't such a happy one though. He was sacked the following season after disappointment with signings and very poor early season form. It had all gone pear shaped, he had been belatedly found out, he had been found wanting in important aspects of his job.

United have to get it right after failing with three appointments, they can't be too careful.

Waiting still looks by a long long way the best policy.

Yep, I don't think they have any intention to go with him and nor should they.

I don’t think they will either.

But OJS has done enough to put himself in the frame for another big paying job in the EPL.

And I could see a certain Persian billionaire thinking he is just the man to replace his most recent failed flavour of the month appointment :(

I dunno, as an owner I'd be wary of caretaker's doing well. I mean he looked clueless at Cardiff. But after Shakespeare at Leicester and the difference between him as caretaker and him as manager it's a tough one up gauge.

I didn't understand the whole beating PSG was a fantastic result thing and they have to hire him now. They were obliterated by PSG and it was only dumb luck that they won the tie.

If Poch wants the job, you go get him. Because not only you are getting what looks to be a very good manager, you are taking a very good manager from a top 4 club.
 
Still think it'll go pear shaped next season for wolves.
Can't stop thinking about our great season under martinez.
And then. ...

They can play well w/ possession (just need to buy a quality striker) and are more solid defensively. They'll take a step back if they get in and take the UEFA cup seriously. They'll be decent, but maybe might get fatigued. I don't think they've really had any injuries this year either.
