Don't quite understand. His Leceister has twice collapsed in the later part of the season, when the race for top 4 got heated. His Liverpool let a lead slip at the last hurdle to let City win the title. He talked about getting Celtic to 3rd place in the group stage of CL and into Europa, like it was some huge achievement. His current team isn't doing all that well either, still 2 points behind us despite our crisis.

Not convinced he is an upgrade to Solskjaer.

Would love Hansi Flick or Luis Enrique, but both coaching their national teams and highly unlikely in the short term. So maybe Ralf Rangnick as interim. I will prefer Erik Ten Hag over Rodgers as well, though he has only a short CV. Heck, I will even prefer Kasper Hjulmand over Rodgers.

Brendan is definitely an upgrade to Ollie, heck lots of proper managers are an upgrade to Solskjaer bro.

But you are right to have concerns as to whether Brendan can actually put United back on top of the perch by winning the PLs and CLs.

Personally Iike Brendan and think he is a good coach but as a manager for a top club think he is a bottler when it comes to the crunch time as you correctly pointed out below, same goes for his inexperience in the CL.

Think you are also right to select Ten Hag, think he has proven he is a top manager by taking Ajax to the top level in Europe not once but twice and without the big bucks. Another one would be Nagelsman. On the home front I think Graham Potter looks interesting although he lacks experience at the very top level.

Ironically I think Fergie has been holding you guys back on the managerial front not intentionally mind you but still by his actions behind the scenes. First happened when you'll thought you would getting Pep only to find out that he was heading to Bayern instead. Later you'll missed out on Poch by sticking with Ollie.

T.Q. bro escobar for joining us in the discussion abt the selection of the next manager for Man Utd n giving us yr frank, honest n interesting opinion of all the possible candidates :)...Except for bro AC, the rest of us hv left out Nagelsman who is another good coach the Red Devils can use on the road back to glory...if we lose Poch i don't think it is a great loss....Poch i think is too passive, n a nice-guy manager like OGS, seems like he is currently having problems controlling great players like Messi etc, etc n wants out of PSG himself...like i said, if they want him, might as well take BR

That's the last of the international breaks, till March 2022. Poor Ronny and Bruno have to do the playoffs, as do McTominay and Lindelof.

Watford 0 : 2 Man Utd

p.s. Sorry, yellow is just impossible to see on a white background...

BR football is mostly 4-3-2-1 which means a lone striker supported by midfielders. His style is not to concede goal and try to score 1 or 2. So in MU who can fit his play and definitely again no way he can coach CR.

CR won everything and BR won nothing.

Zz will be good if convinced but don't think he keen because he wants to spend big money and MU cannot assure him of the splash the cash.

ZZ was a past winner for all major trophies as coach and player. Nobody including CR can think ZZ as small coach.

Always a pleasure bro.

Actually come to think of it, you might have a point on Poch. Then again Tuchel had his problems at PSG and look at what he is doing at Chelsea now.

I continue to look from afar with interest.
