United would be mental not to throw everything into getting Poch. They'll never have a more opportune time. A win for us on Wednesday might just be enough to trigger it imo.
 
I’d take a break until Summer if I were Poch. No doubt there will be a few more high profile sackings before the end of the year and he could have a few big teams knocking.

Man United is a poisoned chalice. He’d be daft to take that job.
 
The two statements contradict each other.

In my opinion he needs a break until the summer. Mourinho also had a break and it seems to have done him a lot of good.

Well, one's a statement and one's a media re-interpretation, but yeh....
 

Exclusive: Clubs' attempts to hire Mauricio Pochettino this season would require negotiations with Daniel Levy

Woolwich and Manchester United face the daunting prospect of having to negotiate with Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy if they want to appoint Mauricio Pochettino this season.

Pochettino has been replaced by Jose Mourinho at Spurs, but Telegraph Sport can reveal that, under the terms of his exit, the club would still be entitled to compensation from any club, at home or abroad, that attempts to appoint the Argentine before the summer.

Although Pochettino has left Tottenham, he is not a free agent and any club wishing to appoint him would have to agree a compensation package with Levy. As well as Premier League clubs, that also applies to overseas clubs such as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

Contrary to a report over the weekend, Pochettino would not have to pay back £12.5million in compensation, if he took another Premier League job before the end of the season.

Instead, it is understood Pochettino would have to give up the money he was still due if he accepted a job at another club and that club would have to pay compensation to Tottenham if they managed to strike an agreement with Levy.

Whether or not Levy would even be prepared to negotiate with Woolwich or United during the season is not certain and Tottenham refuse to discuss the contracts of any of their past or present employees.

It is unclear how long past the end of the season Spurs could still be entitled to compensation, but it was striking that in the statement confirming Pochettino’s departure, the club said he and his coaching staff had been ‘relieved of their duties’.

It is absolutely correct that OS said " Poch and his coaching staff were relieved of their duties"

Which means that they are on gardening leave until the end of the notice period in their employment contracts - which might easily be one year or even up to two years, unlikely to be longer but could be.

And like any employee, even during their notice period they are not entitled to start s new job at a new club without taking to Spurs to get Spurs consent. Which as the article suggests may well include (a). Compensation paid to Spurs by the new club (b) possibly Poch needing to give up some of his compensation as to take up the new job he needs to re sign from Spurs.

But given Poch towards the end of his tenure, I would think he would like between 6 and 12 months out to relax and recharge his batteries for the next job.
 
Woodward: Hello Maurico, this is Ed Woodward calling, I'd like to offer you a job as Manager for Utd
Poch: Hello Ed, I'll happily take the job, just one minor obstacle, you'll have to negotiate with Daniel Levy first.
Woodward: .........*click* dooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Poch: Hello? Hello? Are you still there?

How about these beautiful quotes from that buffoon, Woodward?

Woodward explained United's squad retention strategy in an interview with fanzine United We Stand.

He explained that, due to the difficulty of signing the quality of players United need, the club were having to tie down others onto long deals.

"It's a multi-year squad evolution analysis," he said.
:mourlmao:

"It's hard enough to get three players done in a transfer window. To get six or seven done is extremely difficult if you are getting proper talent.

"If you choose to churn every player because they are not good enough and you're not extending contracts, you are putting yourself at risk of execution. Sometimes you have to take a broader view."
