Because they want a job? If they don’t want to take it that’s fine. But “considering” and “monitoring” and “weighing up” will lead us to another Nuno situation. Make them the offer and move on if they decline.
If they don’t want to take the job when top 4 is still achievable they sure as fuck won’t want to take it when this PE teacher takes us to 8th place and Harry Kane joins United.
Don’t get me wrong, it will be very difficult to persuade any good manager to work with Levy. But we can surely try harder than we are currently doing. By this point last season United had already locked in Ten Hag for next season. It doesn’t seem like we are actually in discussions with anyone. No doubt due to the Paratici situation which again, Levy must have known was coming and completely failed to prepare for.
I think the top guys would want a fresh start and their players more than any position in the league. No one wants to tarnish their name with this mess right now. I don't think settling for the guy who would come late in the season in lieu of the RIGHT hire is a good idea. I think we just have to accept the pain that this late season is going to be and hope that our guys have enough character to respond.
