Jesus l hope the media chatter about Southgate being serious managerial option is rubbish, l really don't rate him at all.

Apparently he is the overwhelming first choice of everybody at the club. If that’s true, we are all doomed.

Again, if true, this new football department they are putting together are no better than what came before.

I read they want an English manager, there’s far better choices out there than Southgate if that’s what they want.

Maybe they are leaking this story so when they appoint who they really want, i imagine Potter, there’s not as much of a backlash as at least it’s not Southgate.

I can’t figure out what Southgate has done to even be close to being considered. He’s not won anything. Struggles to beat any of the top teams. Doesn’t really coach players as he only sees them for a week or two. Hardly an in game taxtical genious, goes 1-0 up and then tries to hold on to it, to eventually lose.

Southgate’s first signing would probably be Jordan Henderson!

Rant over.

Recent quote from SJR that he admires the patience arsenal showed with arteta.

I think they would be mad to get rid of EtH, they need to stick with him for a year and see how we do. Plenty done to deserve another season in my eyes.

Southgate would be a disaster.
Had a feeling it would be him for a while, thought he'd get the job before Ten Hag.
Seems the sort of stupid decision utd make.

Fek me Sam Allerdyce, Redknapp, et al are all better options than Southgate. Jeez Tumbleweed is a better option and none of us need worry about celebrating win. ?.

I’m not a huge fan of ETH. But I’ll happily give him a 10 year contract if it means we can avoid Southgate!

People know my opinion of Ole Gunnar Southgate, he must not be anywhere near this club. Our rivals have just stopped laughing at Moyes, at Ole, if Ratcliffe brings in Southgate, then maybe some of you will come around to a full sale only.

Laughing stock if we appoint Southgate, that simple.

Who do they mean by "everyone at the club"?

Would that be the CEO who is on gardening leave from his previous post and cannot work for the club currently?

Or would that be the new DoF who is also currently unable to work for the club?

Or do they mean Doris the tea lady and Dave the groundsman?

Who is it at the club who likes him? What are they basing that on? Have they even met him or had a football discussion with him? And finally what sort of impact would these people even have in hiring the next manager (whenever that might be)?

Because to me, it seems that the two most important people in terms of hiring a new manager (the CEO and the DoF) are currently not in their roles at the club.

I'd chalk this down to typical media BS written during the footballing lull which is an international break.

Speaking of SJR, Another tidbit from the interview if you take it at face value is he does not think its smart to splash crazy money on players who are already there and wants to find the next big thing before they are big.

Obviously every club wants that and easier said than done but players like two Benfica boys Neves and Silva would be out of the question if that's the direction they want to go given their price tags. Shame really like both of them.

Well debunked Shappy.

There’s a lot of red top rubbish being posted, can we bring back the posts celebrating Sunday's win? ?.

A disaster if this is even remotely true…. Just when we hoped that things post Glazers would improve.

I will eat my hat if we appoint Southgate, it won't happen. Just a slow news week because it's internationals.

I'm sure Berrada hasn't so much as taken a call from SJR in the last two months. He's probably sat at home playing Roadblox right now, rather than planning United's summer :D
In all seriousness though the man himself Sir Jim has called out how several great managers have already failed over the past decade, therefore it must be the system around them. If Utd fail to qualify for even the Europa I guess there's a chance he goes but otherwise I'd be surprised if he isn't given the chance to go again under this new regime.

Zidane, Inzaghi, De Zerbi, Potter, Lopetegui, Amorim now Southgate. All have been stated as the favourite of the people at the club over the past month or so. Give it time and and the list will grow infinitum.
I guess the written press need to keep producing reports and as it is international week it was just Southgates turn. Connect the dots that he has a relationship with Dan Ashworth and it all makes sense!

Exactly Brad, no doubt the media will link us with Klopp before the end of the summer!

I would agree with you but the press have had a field day with our manager getting sacked or replaced for weeks now.
Ineos have been quite vocal about many things but not a single statement of support on this topic.

The sad thing is Klop finished 5th last year dealing with plenty of injuries and an aging midfield that leaked goals. They went out and bought 4 mids in the summer and dealt with it.

Eth is getting crucified for the same thing this year with us. People will say klop had a lot of credit in the bank and in my view this managers first season was also credit in the bank as he achieved more than I expected or Klop in his first season.

Ineos have gone through 4 managers in 5 years at nice and admit to having made mistakes but have learnt from it. let's hope if we make a change its not a melon coming in and more importantly he does not stunt the development of the younger players in the squad.
