Let him concentrate on coaching the players and let the new DoF deal with the board on his behalf. Hopefully we get someone in who has connections and can spot talent before they make it big, similar to A.Madrid or Leipzig etc.
That way we’re getting young and hungry players instead of ageing mercenaries while the board should be happy that we’re not spendind shit loads on that type of player anymore.

"I've said to Daniel that Eric dier and Harry winks are nothing players and we need to get better players in". He's waiting for the Madrid job anyway, im convinced thats his endgame.

I like Poch and yeah, he's getting a rough ride on here because we've got ole seemingly out of nowhere. If we still had jose, pretty sure people would be more forgiving
Until he (poch) moves to a club with a bigger budget, you can't really know how he'll work in that environment. United is a completely different type of pressure, probably equalled only by Real and Barca in terms of the expectation that comes with it. Which is why, if things are going well with ole, there's no way we should take the risk. Yeah poch could be amazing. He could also choke.

From what I've heard and read about Ole, he's a tough bastard, very determined and intelligent, I have no doubts he'll be absolutely fine in the necessary battles with his bosses.

Not saying it was a clever move, but it's what most fans already know and have been asking a manager to do for ages, basically ever since the glazers arrived. Blindingly obvious why he's got an ND clause in his contract - because he could probably tear the board (if not the owners) to shreds. Not gonna risk £15m for that though

Saw his arse big time. Absolutely baffling really, because I think he'd bought some good will from the fans after the first couple of seasons to build on. Instead of using that to his advantage, he decided to react like fuzzy to ginners and lose his shit. Be shocked if another big club touches him now, unless they're really desperate. Mental @#%&!.
