WalthamOwl Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Zidane set to take over. Good appointment? I’m not so sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Well out stayed his welcome Funny how you end up feeling sorry for people in football who get an opportunity they didn't really deserve, make a hash of it, paid money we could only dream of along the way and no doubt a huge payoff for good measure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Fletcher in as interim manager. It’s ridiculous how badly that club is run. If that was Chelsea they would already have had a top manager lined up ready to go. Instead Fletcher will win his first 3 games and get a 4 year contract. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, biggest club in the world and they don’t act like it. Why appoint an interim manager till end of the season? Get the man you want now and let him build for next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 And Carrick in there too. It’s like an old boys club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 They don't have a clue. Sack him and put Carrick in charge until they think of someone to appoint... It isnt like Carrick was Ole's assistant or anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, at times they looked very good indeed under his stewardship, and you wondered whether they were on the verge of resuming their status as serious contenders, but the momentum always faltered. A couple of wins might have postponed his departure, but the nature of some of the recent defeats as much as the results themselves showed a manager out of his depth. After yesterdays debacle, the players just looked broken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wonder if Giggs is regretting his extra-curricular problems. He always coveted the job, and apparently was hugely miffed that he wasn't offered it previously. The reality is that they've never really recovered from the departure of Fergie. The rot sort of developed from allowing him to anoint his own replacement, and since then it's been one ill advised appointment after another. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth be told, I think the rot was setting in whilst Fergie was still in charge. His greatness, along with David Gill, papered over the cracks and shortcomings of the Glazer stewardship. If you actually look at the last few Fergie title winning teams they weren't all that. There was a notable downturn in quality once Ronaldo was sold in 2009. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - SAF is such a deity at OT that moving on from him was always gonna be difficult he still casts a long shadow but Utd have gotta rise above that - the game is different now and the life expectancy of a manager at virtually any club is ridiculously short Utd have tried to buck that trend but they have no strategy at all - it's like the football version of "pin the tail on the donkey" At the worlds biggest club... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dronfield Blue Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I can't see Carrick getting the job, that's another Ole gamble. If I were on the Man U board, I'd be pushing for Pochettino. He's well capable of building the next dynasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Fergie knew what he was doing leaving when he did. Quite enjoy seeing them having tough times to be honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh absolutely. RVP was one final indulgence to make sure he won the title in his final season. He knew that team wasn't all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
