Benitez is actually a really interesting shout I hadn't considered lol, I'd be a bit worried he's too dated now as was part of the Mourinho generation of managers but when you look at his results with PL clubs in retrospect he actually did pretty well and most clubs were worse off after sacking him.
If dated means "doesn't just tippy tappy it about the back like Pep" then maybe we need dated. Do something different to everyone else.

Like fashion, everything is circular. It'll be the next "new" thing
 
Ange In is not a serious position

United's reputation makes it a more dangerous job for an ambitious manager to take because they clearly have not had the recruitment structure in place to properly support a manager for over a decade, they have woefully dated facilities in dire need of serious short-term resolution (particularly Old Trafford which is seriously falling apart) which will no doubt have an impact on their ability to spend on players in the short term, not to mention the INEOS minor stake purchase has come with a ton of negative publicity due to Sir Jim's 25-point cost-cutting plan, and even with all that in mind the fans still expect to be competing for the title and back in the CL within 2 years.

Compare that to Spurs fans expectations; if Iraola came in, secured top 10 this season, top 6 next season with a decent cup run then had us challenging for top 4 within year 4 of the project, with some of our current youth players starting to mature into nailed on first XI players, would our fans be calling for his blood? No, we would be glad to see positive progress back to our financial "mean" position in the table, and to not be the fucking laughing stock of the league again. Put that development plan to a United fan and they'll tell you that's nowhere near fucking good enough for a club their size and they'd expect a new manager to be competing for the league by year 3. Even considering that I would say on paper our first XI is better than theirs in probably 8/11 positions.
Even without being as good as they once were, they sacked their manager who won cups in consecutive seasons, we'd have built him a fecking statue.

Ange is completely out of his depth. He is not a young coach who can learn and be flexible on the job. He is 59 years old , set in his ways and has had no experience of coaching in a top league. His results here have been shocking and they are getting worse. I really don’t get why he gets so much făn support.
I honestly can’t remember us having a worse manager and the stats bear that out. He couldnt even motivate his players for the NLD.

Ideally for me Areola or Silva . I also wouldn’t be averse to Carrick who has a Tottenham background and is doing well at Middlesbrough with no budget. I would also trust him much more to develop our younger players than Ange.
 
I think part of the problem regarding hiring a successor is Levy has a pre-occupation with wanting the optics of getting in the fresh new thing, and up and comer, or a superstar name.

Something that suits the brand that he wants to project, rather than just a safe pair of hands.

It took serious relegation fears to have him bite the bullet and go for Redknapp, and then what happened there? Sacked for the flashy AVB (who would also be a major improvement on Ange btw).
 
This is just the dumbest fucking shit his fanbase keeps coming up with

There's litterally hundreds of coaches around the UK and Europe who would do a better job than losing every fucking game you pillock,

....And yet "anyone but 'x' " is the sentiment of a "pillock".

The fact is you (and most others) would turn your nose up at "hundreds" of those same managers...... Many of them rightly so too.

lol why do people still believe that Levy sacked Jose for criticising the Super League 😆

Also Nuno got sacked because he was merely a placeholder, he would have gone regardless of the crowd reaction to Levy.

Let's not forget he sacked Poch and Redknapp who didn't speak out of turn to him for differing reasons.

And Ramos (despite a trophy).
And AVB
And Santini

The claim that Ange & Munn are "best mates" (just cos they're Australian) is bollocks too.

Redknapp was sacked cos he showed he was uncommited and distracted.
 
I'm now drawing the possible conclusion that Levy sacks managers for reasons other than results and league position. So much revenue now, that results barely matter.

- Mourinho for criticising the Super League
- Nuno because the crowd turned against Levy
- Conte because of his outbursts and refusal to extend his contract.

Ange toes the line and is best mates with Munn. There's every chance he gets the season isn't there? It's a scary thought.

Mate this is nonsense.
