Mark Bosnich just threw Gareth Southgate's name into the ring, on Radio 5.![]()
I think you're vastly overrating their ability to plan for anythingMust have someone pencilled in for the summer if they just looking at a caretaker until then?

I don't think they've got enough strikers for his 1-1-8 formationBig Ange still has a lot of admirers on here. Surprised they havent been banging his drum for the man u job.

This has got Xavi written all over it. Man Utd are outperforming us in terms of league position and they make the decision to try fix it. We will hang on and hang on and will eventually make the decision to change and we’ll end up with a a mid table manager and continue down this path of mediocrity.
I was never a fan of Amorim, even at Sporting, but this does seem an odd time to sack him, their underlying metrics had improved massively:

I agree. Very bizarre. Especially as Fernandes and Mbuemo were missing. He said yesterday that he'd leave in 18 months. I suspect that contributed to things.
A shit manager though all things considered.

Leaves our path to getting Gary Southgate wide open
We won the Europa and United lost, and we still made the move to “fix it” first. Amorim had 14 months and Frank just 7, so there’s the difference.This has got Xavi written all over it.

You'd have thought.... But whoever it is, I guarantee we'll be linked with as well...Must have someone pencilled in for the summer if they just looking at a caretaker until then?
Let's hope we don't have delusions of grandeur and go for him as well then... Cos it'll only end one way!This has got Xavi written all over it.

The only TWO WAY FIGHT we have a chance of winning with them IMHO.
