One game, united away.
Southampton away as well. Saints scored first then we put 5 past them.
If he wins every game for us, he's better than alot of names that have been linked to us
If we win every game, including Man City & Leicester he deserves a crack, alot better than some of the names that have been thrown about
I am sorry but it was a start to get over the effect of the poisonous one. Mason had two days to train to instill some attacking intent then there is the fact that Mourinho did not believe in separate fitness training so our squads conditioning is awful.
I can see it'll be easy for Levy to go along with that thinking (mainly because Ryan will be cheap as chips, but also as he'd have won a pot and quite possibly qualified for the champion's league!), but really I'd say it's a huge risk and a huge amount of responsibility to put on someone who isn't even 30 yet. I really think it's making it too difficult for him to succeed long term to let him loose with so little experience.
Would that be the 'United trap' that's got them to 2nd in the league and through to a semi final in Europe, or some other 'United trap'?

They don’t exist??
Will this be you on Sunday when we go with a back three?
Nagelsmann was managing in the Bundesliga at 28
Yeah I knew that'd be the comeback and I do see it, but do we really think he's been awesome? Or is anyone just better than the dinoshit we've just taken 18 months to scrape off our shoe? To me it's more a reflection of how far he fell.
They're a long way 2nd best of a really bad bunch bar city so it isn't that impressive to me with all their resources. We've just suffered our worst managerial appointment in a couple of decades, with everyone on suicide watch about how bad it's been and we're not even that far behind them. He's hardly the second coming of Fergie is he?
Brilliant, well done etc.
We won't and even if we do the job is far too fucking big for him.
For a top team or getting his experience?
Hoffenheim were having a bad season when he took over (he was their U23 coach that got promoted when the old manager was sacked). But they are a money club and traditionally fighting for Europe. Bit of Leipzig before Leipzig.
It's the younger manager is the better isn't it?
Just like AVB.
Just like AVB.
Maybe but he's still not ready. He'll get a reaction out of the players for the remainder of this season, largely due to the 'freedom from Jose' factor and his closeness to the players, but players will come and go, and that won't last permanently.
Ultimately to succeed as a manager, he will need to get some experience lower down the league(s). If that works out for him, I'd then have him back in a heartbeat
Yeah, they'd been a mid table/bottom half team for a bit hadn't they after their initial meteoric money'd rise?
Anyway, I was being a little facetious knowing full well it was nothing like the ask it would be of Ryan.
I'd give him all the support if Levy went for it of course, I just feel it'd be a massive risk, and it would be very difficult for him to succeed. Maybe he'd be magic, but I feel hoffenheim is a much lower profile job with lower expectations in terms of success criteria and signings, which I think would work against Ryan too.
Anyway, what do I know, I didn't want to sign Poch or Mourinho even though I though JM would be better than he was, so I don't even have a great deal of faith in my own judgement here!!
I believe that was the first time we have done so this season, I've not fact-checked that but seen it quoted numerous times.
