Manager Mauricio Pochettino

If he was going anywhere, there was a vacancy at Madrid. And united would have dropped Mourinho like a hot potato for Poch this summer.
Seems that we cannot get over this “Poch will be off the first opportunity because Levy is a skinflint” mentality.
He’s going nowhere.
He’s magic, you know.
I'm not, I'm just saying that the job is attractive.
I happen to believe that HE believes in us as a club, i find that hard to say about a lot of our so called fans.
I’m not sure it is.
Van Gaal won the Fa cup and got the boot within 24 hours
Mourinho won them 2 trophies in his first season & got them to a final last year & he’s under the cosh. What’s attractive about a club that demands immediate & sustained success? There’s no way united would give anyone several seasons to build a dynasty. The Fergie days are long gone.
That won’t ever happen again for clubs the size of united.
How dare you?!! Poch is literally a saint and would have worked for free. Personal wealth means nothing to him. He seriously doesnt give a shit about himself or his family. Hes all about the team!!
Really though considering we spent not a single penny in the transfer window, its very afforadable to raise the manager's wages. Smart play from levy in terms of keeping the manager happy in the cheapest way possible.
He's an ambitious man, he wants to win the top trophies, he wants to do that with us but if he can't he will be off.
Whats attractive about throwing 4 years of your work away to start at ground zero and put yourself back another 4 years, just to get to where you are now?
Yes it is, but i'm of a mind that managing Spurs is an attractive job.
So it's about spending money then?
Why are you trying to re write history again John?
You claimed there would be showdown talks AFTER Poch signed an extension. You said the showdown talks would be because he was tricked into signing, on the basis he would get signings, and we now risked him walking.
Why are you now trying to make out you claimed these imaginary talks were predicted by you, and they were about his personal pay rise.
Liar.
Some so called supporters don’t delude themselves into believing that we are on a par with elite clubs and try fashion narratives where the normal hierarchy of the game somehow doesn’t apply to us.
Pressure is part of the job, even Fergie nearly got sacked. I think Poch would embrace the pressure.Winning the FA cup is good enough for us, with Man utd it's not good enough.
They would have dropped Jose for one who finished below them last season and for one who hasn’t won anything in his career? Really? Do people actually read what they write?
United are a mile away from competing with City & in the CL. FFs, we turned them over a couple of weeks ago. If the FA cup & Europa Cup aren’t good enough for united, Poch wouldn’t last there because it’s a club that demands immediate success. They don’t build anymore. They just go out and spend more than anyone else on players like Zlatan & Sanchez, hoping that they strike gold.
Yes they would. 100%.
It's a new challenge and it's all experience. It's not too realistic to think he's going to stay with us for his whole career. He's talked about managing England one day.
So they give him a new contract in January but then sack him June for the manager he finished above? Pure fantasy land.
United are the richest club in the game - if they wanted our manager then they would make a move whenever they wanted. And I would be stunned if he turned them down, if people can understand how we took him away from Southampton then they should be able to understand how United can do this to us.
He may find the prospect of having a transfer budget to work with quite attractive. Especially if he goes another year or two without a major trophy on his CV while being forced to work on a shoestring with us.
It is certainly, but we have our spurs hat on here. The man united is a bigger job, it pays more, that's not me advocating he should go to man u, I'm just stating facts.
