It's Southgate!!!!!

[aftershavedave]

Rumours circulating that the vultures are circling for Ten Hag, two poor results in the next 5 days will see him leave the club and United's number one choice for replacement is GSouth and they are willing to make him the highest paid manager in the PL to get their man.

Such a foolish foolish appointment, let's hope it happens

Oh yes, please!

I genuinely don’t get what they would see in Southgate, at no point have even some of the biggest advocates of his time in England said “Southgate…absolute tactical genius”.

Him against Guardiola would be the footballing equivalent of lions vs Christians, but less of a close contest.

Will never understand why the Brentford manager is never mentioned for top jobs

 

[Binney on acid]

He’s virtually the last person that I’d ask to manage a football team. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, Paliss included. However, I'd probably make an exception for Citeh.

This would be superb they will be crying for Ten bags back before Christmas

I feel a little uncomfortable mocking another club with our manager and his suicidal tactics at present though.

Because no top club wants to play the football they do. Its all a bit like when they signed Moyes. I agree he is very underrated though.

As for Southgate... well. Dan Ashworth usually go for British coaches so that direction seems likely.

Michael Carrick seems a much more sensible pick to me.

 

[WhingForPresident]

I really, really hope they get Southgate.

I can't see it being anyone other than Van Nistelrooy though, pretty sure he has been moved in with the intention of appointing him.

Southgate is massively popular within the Man U hierarchy. Ashworth has worked with him and talked of how highlty he rates him as a coach and tactician and he has worked closely with Dave Brailsford. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is understood to be a huge admirer too in his quest to put Man U 'back where they belong' at the top of the Premiership. He won't come cheap, suggestions are they are willing to make him the highest paid manager in the EPL currently.

 

[Withdean South Stand]

To counter that banter, Southgate would get eaten alive in the Man Utd job. What they need is someone who is going to get the team playing on the front foot and scoring goals. The goalkeeper is a clown who seems incapable of moving along his line, but the defence is dodgy. Just shift the focus on being good going forward, get them playing well on the counter-attack and life will be easier there. Southgate would absolutely highlight the problems they have by wanting to defend deep but getting caught out again and again and again, whilst not being able to score goals. If they appoint Southgate, they'll fire him at the end of the season.

Ten Hag will get sacked before Christmas and be replaced by Van Nisterlrooy until the summer. If they qualify for Europe, they'll stick with him. If they don't, he'll be gone too.

I agree that Southgate would be successful in the Premiership.

Kieran McKenna?

 

[Motogull]

The waistcoatwanker is Beaky's back up plan I reckon, so he'd hate to see Southgate off the dole. The waistoatwanker must be the thing of Palace fans' nightmares. For that reason, I hope the waistcoatwanker remain unemployed.

 

[Zeberdi]

I think Tuchel wouldn’t be a bad choice and he’s available.

Man U fans might like having someone back in the reigns who has a little fire under his belly - he has the obvious experience of managing a big PL club, and bringing home the silver.

I corrected it for you

Pep’s ability to ‘big up’ every opposing manager knows no bounds, it feels like the only time he doesn’t do it is when he’s just been beaten by them

 

[jcdenton08]

Oh PLEASE let this happen.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Might be making myself look silly here in a few weeks, but I don't think there is any way on this earth that Southgate gets the United job. Never ever ever in a million years.
