Managerial Thread 2018 / 2019

[Bill Benn]

The fact he has lived in a hotel all the time he was there it always seemed he was just passing through.

 

[Invipai]

Makes complete sense, and what's the point in waiting until the summer? From the sounds of it most players who are running out their contracts have no intention of renewing them under the current managership. For their sake hopefully they can start to get the players playing again, having fun and performing well. They've been shackled heavily for years and a breath of fresh air could go a long way.

Hard to see what Michael Carrick will do, possibly a bit young for a 6 month gig like this, but their season is likely over from their standpoint anyway. Man U can't get any worse though really...

 

[Judio1999]

Sacked Dec 17th by Chelsea

At least he can spend Christmas at home

They’ve stated that caretaker will be appointed with new manager in summer. They could go for someone like Bruce with Carrick. Let’s not forget Di Matteo won champions league as a caretaker.

Jose loves to get sacked. More money in his back pocket. Had been doing his best to get sacked as quickly as possible.

Thought that since the start of the season after the ridiculous decision to give him a new contract.He will leave with 20 mill + nice work

Indeed.
Nice work if you can get it.
Or as the case will be now......no work for a stack of cash!
If even greedier.....take another job whilst still effectively being paid for the last one you were sacked from!

 

[JBN]

Can't stand the bloke and can't believe he walks away with 20m for the failure that he served up, although its nice work if you can get it I suppose.

Won't have his his whiny excuses to listen too.

Hopefully thats him done in English football.

 

[Judio1999]

Didnt they pay 20 mill to an agent to buy Pogba

Money doesnt mean much to them

 

[TW3Bee]

Jose gone

Just in time to replace TF.

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

Someone just asks me at work, who do I think will replace Jose at Man Ure .... Come on mate, your a football fan, he says
I said, I really don't care and I don't give a fack ! .... I love Brentford and seriously don't give a sh*t about Man Ure and who replaces the chosen one !!

Who's the bloke at Rochdale again? It's just down the road so he won't have to move house and it's about time he had the chance at a big club......

 

[HertfordBee]

Thought Man Utd would’ve waited for the Summer?!!

Who’s next? Zidane?!

Laurent Blanc

How the hell did Man U. get themselves talked into that contract that pay £20 mil, serves them right.

Bet there are other clubs around the World who will employ him and on silly money

 

[Stanley]

He only gave them the Europa Cup, League cup, second place and an FA cup final. Not good enough though it seems for Manu, or are they being a tad arrogant as well?

I wouldn't say it's unreasonable to expect silverware having spent 400m on 10 players? For a club of man Uniteds size and spending? All while playing sh*tty un entertaining football

 

[kevalutonbee]

Apparently he wanted to make a sharp get away.

Sadly someone had parked the bus in front of the training ground gates

 

[halibutbee64]

merry go round for failures. I wonder where his next job will be.

 

[Judio1999]

International Team

Jeez I wish we could get someone with so much failure. He’s a knob but a failure as a manager I’m not so sure just not the Man Itd type but still won a couple of trophies and 2nd in premier league.

 

[Stanley]

True but then for comparison Klopp has spent more and won zero trophies so far. Granted the football is better and he has got them to three finals but even so...anyway no love for Manu and hope they mess it up for the next appointment.

Sky's coverage was embarrassing.
Blanket coverage dominating entire channels just about this single thing.
It was like the fkin Queen had just been assassinated.

Inter Milan?

Spalletti is on very thin ice, with the supporters at least.

Couldn't agree more, I actually liked him when he first turned up at Chelsea but over the years he has turned into a miserable it's always someone else's fault full on bully who has taken narcissism to a totally new level , go home Jose and don't come back

BBC Sport website was as bad. First nine (!) items were about Man U.

Sounds similar to a club we all know.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Looks as though Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be Man U manager to the end of the season.

Strange choice, but who cares. On that note, I see The Times claimed that when Jose Mourinho took the Man United job, he refused to keep Ryan Giggs on as part of the back-room staff because he couldn't trust a man who had an 8-year affair with his brother's wife.

Hard to argue with that to be fair! But then again, eight years though,at least he stuck at it.

He's effectively an Alex Ferguson stooge. Mike Phelan joins with him.

Hah that’s quAlity!! Do you have a link ? I want to mug my United and welsh mate off

Ferguson’s aura still weighs heavy on Old Trafford. It’s astonishing that the Club don’t ask him to stay away or even more that he doesn’t give subsequent managers the space to do their jobs. Doubt he would have been too enamoured by a similar situation.

He’s worshipped up there, they named a stand after him, why would they ask him to stay away?

ON 5Live, they were saying that the deal is Alex Ferguson doesn't want to take over as caretaker manager so they have brought in Soksjaer / Phelan and Fergsuon will be an adviser. Solskjaer's Norwegian season doesn't start until March anyway so he is free and Molde have agreed he can stay until the end of the English season after which he'll return to his proper job. Possibly the first ever "loan" manager!

 

[Jezybee]

It doesn’t let the new manager get on with their job. The suspicion was that he retained great (too much?) influence. Think abee made the comment on here that whenever he left a senior role it would be a complete clean break from the company to let the new person do the job without the shadow of the previous incumbent looming ever large and so they could blame the last bloke (ok, not possible here)

As Les mentions it’s a have your cake and eat it situation. Retaining control but not wanting to do the work isn’t acceptable. Either take the job or stay out of it.

At first I thought I'd agree with you. But then I think Jose is a big enough and experienced enough manager to cope. Let's face it, he's got a pretty big ego.

Jose has signed the players, chosen the tactics and set out the overall framework. It has failed to deliver.

Is Sir Alex there in the background unsettling some of the longer-standing players? Maybe... But I'd expect Mourinho to be able to deal with that. Especially as he'd always made little secret of the fact he wanted the job after Ferguson.

Fergie chose to go, he could have stayed for as long as he wanted. He’s been ill and away from the ground for months and only just returned so can’t see how he’s managed to unsettle anyone.

They had similar problems when Matt Busby was still in the directors box. It took 20 years before Fergie eventually cracked it.

I couldn't link The Times report as I don't subscribe to them.

However The Mirror has also reported a very similar story to the Times.

[Isleworth_Bee]

The reason Fergie goes to games is because he probably adores the place....................... Imagine winning bundles of trophies for Utd then only to be told "you cant come anymore because the poor wee fella in the dugout cant cope with the pressure"

Influences the players? I somehow doubt that as well................. The players at Utd need to take a lot of responsibility for where they are atm (similar to ourselves). Jose was a big problem but that club has wider issues then having a club legend sitting in the main stand at home games.

He is just in the stand watching games and actually had been away from Old Trafford for a long period following that health scare, so I really can't see that Fergie's presence was/is a major issue.
