Yes, but I think in years to come, the difference will look less and less.

I certainly have more sympathy for moyes (one notch above zero) than ever before, but the upshot is that all three failed and all three will be sacked.

Not every manager is a Ferguson that can be great for 20 years. Most managers, like players, have a peak in their career and then find it difficult to recapture that peak.

What we need is to hire a manager at their peak or heading that way rather than one who is on his way down. LVG was closer to retirement than anything else, people pontificating that he was on the cusp of something great are kidding themselves.

Mourinho had a solid enough couple of years but never once has he looked like recapturing the sort of aura we saw at Chelsea or Inter, the man has looked utterly jaded since he came here and has for the most part cut a forlorn figure. I'm not quite sure what's going on with him at the moment but i would say he needs a break from football for a few years. His experiences at Madrid, chelsea and now United seem to have left him a shadow of the man he was in 2005.

I fear the same if we hire someone like Zidane. That again, we'll be getting a man who had 4 year peak and is now coming off the back of it. I'd rather we were a little more creative about who we got in. The talk of Conte is just depressing tbh.

Some very good points there but who is this person approaching their peak?

Genuine question btw, I don't follow European football so I have no idea who's out there

Is that it? I mean, he might be alright I suppose but surely there's some others out there?

Takes a young ajax side to munich and schools the home side.....

Julian Nagelsmann. Top job at Hoffenheim, gave City a good go last night. Young manager, young team.

Same here mate. I have no idea who's the manager at top european clubs any more simply because my interest in football in general is waning given how £#%&!ing shit we are.

I occasionally 'rock' the plaid shirt/grey sweatshirt combo myself so my vote is for him at the moment. Not sure about the gilet though

Saffers' guy looks a bit too much like Guardiola for my liking but if he's Dutch that would mean the shexy akshent back at OT and that can't be a bad thing

Was the coach of bayern reserves 2013-2015 so worked with the druggie unfortunately.



As for Nagelsmann, he really would shake things up touchline wise

Only if he brings De Ligt with him

yes please but only if we have someone up to who actually has a clue

that's the annoying thing about us, we're always linked to the obvious choice wether its players or managers, can we PLEASE for once do a bit of homework and spec out what we wanna see in a manager for the next few seasons?

that would make the choice so much easier imo

And Blind

are we looking to manage a football team or develop a £#%&!ing app?

He'd have a hybrid 4-2-3-1 / 4-3-3 with high pressing, quick passing and a kaleidoscope of movement.

All while fixing the Old Trafford wifi. What's not to like...

We have the app now and apparently it's quite good. Well, if you value form over content.

What i don't get is why they're willing to risk almost certainly missing out on the 90 odd million you get for being in the champions league rather than give Mourinho 10 million or whatever to £#%&! off mid season.

i thought the people running the club liked money?
