    The fear factor is not about anyone or any team. It is mostly about current home form. Then it is about the venue and the home crowd. All these combined made OT a formidable prospect for the opposition last season. Same as SB.

    According to Corriere dello Sport, Tottenham have already signed Allegri.

    The papers are saying he's the favourite to take over.

    He's the overwhelming favourite to take the job, i want him to be our new manager, he's a winner, has won trophies and the players would respect him as well.

    Only thing is with Van Gaal is that things go sour very quickly. But you are only after a short-term appointment so it should not be a problem

    Only7 if the owners like to get involved.

    barcelona = owners tried to get involved

    bayern - president gets involved.

    van Gaal like all elite managers doesnt give a **** who the owner is or how powerful/respected they are. hes in charge and that is that.

    The Glazers are about as laid back as owners can be, I see few issues on that front.

    I think they might hate each other but have massive respect for each other. the sort who would batter each other close to death but then go for a pint and laugh about it..... then have a bar fight over nothing....

    Epic.

    The irony is that Van Gaal was the last person United would have gone for last summer yet he is probably the short term answer to our ****ing mess.

    This would be the second time we've gone for him though so maybe he wasnt as unlikely last summer as you think.

    Fell out with Cruyff at Ajax twice: over letting the youth academy slide.

    At Barca, the second time, he was fired because Barca were near the relegation zone.

    At Bayern he took them away from a CL place and Bundesliga challenge.

    Still he has done a lot of good things at these clubs too. And is better than Moyes obviously.

    Why is no one interested in Conte?

    It would seem you like Conte a lot. Is it a man crush ? Does he give you a little chubby ? Would you like him to stroke your face and tell you everything is ok ?

    You do you just think he's a good manager ?
