Bruce : Hughes joint team, would be the dream ticket for them!!

Although Redknapp is available after his jungle exploits!
 
What amount of money has Mourhino had from being dismissed from various clubs.? He seems to be a 2 season manager then he's bored or players turn against him.
It seems this bust up with Pogba saw the club take the players side not the bosses.

Never in a million years, they took their chances with an up and coming manager who'd done a good job at a smaller club with Moyes, they're only going to go for big name world famous managers now.

Solskjaer currently favourite for caretaker manager, he's no longer baby faced and looks rather like Mourinho now.

Yes but Moyes was a dinosaur in footballing terms. They can't use that as an excuse for not picking Howe. They won't of course because the large clubs in this country have zero interest in helping develop young English managers.

Whereas you look abroad at the likes of Barcelona (Pep, Enrique, Vilanova), Borussia Dortmund (Klopp, Tuchel), Juventus/Milan (Conte, Allegri) they are quite happy to take a chance on homegrown talent who have produced at junior sides or lower down the league sides.

When was the last time Liverpool, Man C (post Dubai), Man U, Chelsea (Post Roman), or Arsenal had an english manager for any significant amount of time? Roy Evans? Spurs are the only ones who have chanced it with Harry Redknapp and Tim Sherwood but to be honest Sherwood was a weird pick. Howe has done the hard yards and proven himself.

Surely Deschamp is worth talking too, would suit Utd to the ground with his style of football and would certainly get the best out of Pogba.....problem might be prizing him away from the French role!
 
I suspect a lot of the contenders will be holding off to see whether Rafa extends as they obviously would prefer the challenge of working under Ashley to the cushy ride at Man Utd.

Obviously “Saved Newcastle from almost certain relegation on a shoestring budget” says more about a manager than “Achieved a top 4 finish with a squad worth more than the GDP of a small country”.
