Well I for one can't abide the potato faced ****er. I don't want to see him sacked now but I fail to see the point in letting him have another season of this dire pointless football. He has stopped the rot, he has improved the squad but I really don't see the point in him having another season. Especially when there are potentially some better options potentially available.. I for one would like pep, though I'd happily have ancellotti. Though I see pep as the better long term option. Thoughts??
Who would you want then? Truth be told I wanted klopp couple of years ago. That's off the cards, I can't see ancellotti hanging around long enough and I'd like our next manager be there for a decent amount of time. Would Koeman be a shout? Or not high profile enough? That said I'd be amazed if he doesn't get offered the Holland job.
Giggs. Could turn out to be a disaster but it gives us a chance to get a United identity back. The way United have gone about their business both on and off the pitch since Fergie retired and specifically since LVG was appointed is totally alien to Manchester United. He'd need rock solid assistants, maybe get Carlos back.
I just don't think giggs is capable. I genuinely believe managers / coaches especially ex players what ever should learn their trade properly rather than get catapulted into a top job. They need experience.
Beware changing the manager when we don't have too! He'll be gone in 18 months. Why go through a period of upheaval when we don't have to? What if we get someone worse? What if the players do not fit the new managers system? Do we go through the whole thing again
I agree with Chief on this one, what will managing a smaller club do to help prepare Giggs for the United job? Moyes had 10 years at Everton and was still swallowed up by United.
I think if we were able to bring someone better in then do it. Why let him leave the end of the following season when all these decent managers may be in jobs. If pep doesn't sign a new contract i'd go for him.
What right does he have to manage the biggest club in the world. Not suggesting he goes and manages Scunthorpe or something, but most decent managers started somewhere and got an average team doing well or winning something.
According to you! LVG has his own ideas and he will use the players as he sees fit. You may think this player should be in this or that position or that that player should start. But he sees them all in the training ground and if he thinks they are good and fit in, he'll select them.
In that case, what 'right' does anybody? Giggs has been at the club for thirty odd years, I reckon that qualifies him to know it and how it works. The fact he'll have spent three season on the bench as assistant would hold him in good stead. That said, going away from the obvious merry go round names, Simeone looks like a top manager.
I get all that, but there has been a lot of retired players going straight into top jobs and then blowing it. Did the fact shearer was at Newcastle for so long make him more capable? They need to actually manage a club and do something moderately impressive. Koeman is someone who is impressing me. Poccetino is another doing good things. Not suggesting I want either but both started somewhere and earnt the right to take the next step up. I think giggs would be a disaster. I think we either get a household name such as pep who is looking like being available, or someone who has won stuff with a smaller club and ready to step up. Moyes I thought would do well though Who knows how it would have turned out had he of been given more time. Though he also didn't win anything. That said nor has Koeman yet. Simeone is a decent shout. The main point being is lvgs so called brand of football is ****. I'd rather mourinho and his weird brand of football and tantrums
I think LVG is a c*nt... in case anyone didn't know He's a spoofer (mutton dressed as lamb) However, despite the fact we won't achieve anywhere near this squad's true potential under him, I also don't think we'll finish outside the top 4 this season or next. I'm willing to accept that he will keep us treading water for the next 18-20 months, and despite the fact he's a c*nt, a spoofer, I'm loathed to call for a manager's head. It's the position rather than the man I'm defending here. In terms of good managers or potentially good manager out there that I think would suit United... Hecking Favre Koeman Joachim Low Emery De Boer (and therefore I'll also add Giggs) Not many big names there for some to fawn over...
Shearer isn't the same at all. Thrown in with no experience at all and no qualifications having been at the club about a third of the time Giggs has been at United. He was like a deluded fan having a crack at it. Giggs has done it once, albeit briefly, has his badges and will have sat as assistant for three years, assuming van Gaal sees out his contract. Which I expect he will.
