The Manchester United Thread XIX

I feel like Liverpool as a club simply aren't as big as the likes of United/City/Chelsea nowadays. Yeah you've struggled over the last few years but you're still Manchester United and you'll have top players all over the world dreaming of playing for you.
You have excessive amounts of money to spend and your prestige means you can attain almost any target you pursue.

Liverpool on the other hand don't have these things. I mean I love Klopp as our manager and the thought of us winning the league showing immense teamwork and chemistry rather than buying the trophy is all I've ever wanted. That's why it was so gutting when we missed out
We managed to make players like Henderson, Sterling and Coutinho perform like superstars and we even kept Sturridge fit for most of the season.

I'm sensing a sly dig here...

Lol Liverpool just spunk money that's why you can't buy the trophy. Look at Chelsea's net spend in 14/15. We won it despite being massive underdogs thanks to the work of José Mourinho getting the players to play above their normal level.

Your senses are off

I was genuinely asking your opinion.

@SA-1


What is your opinion?

Porto he left a fantastic squad, just that him and Barcelona were responsible for ripping that team apart.

Yeah, seemingly some of the board members didn't think he was appropriate for the job. They seemed to be looking for another Sir Alex, but that is not realistic.

This is a difficult situation. It's bad timing and there is nobody available (right now) that is the obvious choice. There is risk attached to whatever the club does. I really envy Liverpool being able to get Klopp.

We can stick it out and let LVG have until the end of the season. If he fails, Mourinho maybe in work at that point, and Ancelotti and Pep may have already signed with another team, starting in July.

We can sack LVG now and bring in Mourinho, but there are obviously negatives there, too. He has been going through his worst spell ever as a manager and his personality is questionable.

The other option would be to sack LVG and appoint Giggs, but I see that as a terrible idea. Giggs chose yesterday to finally get out of his seat and stand on the touchline. I wonder why.


Edit: Sky Sports says Ancelotti is going to Bayern, so he is out of the equation.

Well we saw the toxic side of Mourinho this season. The flip side is that we saw the winner side of him last season. I don't think we'll see many managers survive past 5 years in the modern game.

Mourinho obviously trying to put pressure on the Man Utd board by saying he'll join another club now and not take time out.

I guess you could give LVG a couple more months with Giggs there to step in as interim if it doesn't get better? Problem is that once you give someone the reigns, they rarely want to go back to being number 2.

Yea was a massive coup for us to get Klopp. Was reading an article about how certain managers fit certain clubs and how Klopp seems a perfect fit for Liverpool but probably wouldn't have for Chelsea. I think Simeone would be a perfect fit for Chelsea or Man Utd whereas Guardiola would be perfect for Man City.

Perhaps the Man Utd board will try to stick with LVG till the summer with the option of Giggs in the hope that they can lure Guardiola in the summer?

Would be epic to see:
Liverpool - Klopp
Man City - Guardiola
Man Utd - Mourinho
Arsenal - Wenger
Chelsea - Simeone

The best managerial talent in the world all in England.

Anyways, starting to feel sorry for van Gaal. Saw the video where he was booed off pretty badly and i couldnt help but feel sorry for him. He's tried his best and although he has been an arrogant **** with regards to tactics and everything else, he has done a few positive things like getting us back into the CL at the first attempt and clearing out the deadwood bar Hernandez (Di Maria is deadwood to me not in the sense of quality but rather the fact he did not want to be at United in the first place). However, hes done some terrible things like trimming the squad so much, selling off something like 5 attackers and only bringing 2 in which means we have to rely on a 19 year old up front. He just expected Rooney to fire but sadly hes done.

Skysports just confirmed a press conference was given by chief exec of Bayern and that Ancelloti will be the next manager at Bayern. Pep will go out at the end of the season! Soo.....

Are we going for Pep or?

P.s. rumours that Mourinho will be favourite to take the Roma job! I guess getting Pep at Old Trafford is seeming like a possibility atm

So looks like mourinho,bielsa and giggs are in the running....would you guys take koeman?

Guardiola at City would just kill the league imo. He'll have a blank cheque to bring more world class players to the club and City already have the strongest squad in the league. Pellegrini just cant get them to consistently play to the level that they are capable of. So, if Guardiola moves to City then City will have the strongest squad in the league along with the strongest manager in the league and arguably the world.
