Ronaldo and Varane being there makes it even more attractive for him I bet Also a good option.  5 minutes ago, Raja said: I don't think Conte works long term though, though I guess that doesn't matter much? He comes with baggage no doubt but he's also a world class manager.  Quote I think he'd do better than OGS That's not a particularly high bar. Rodgers might be better than Solskjaer but he's not a top class manager. It'd be rather stupid to pay Leicester a ridiculous compensation (which they would no doubt demand) for a manager who is not top class especially when Conte and Zidane are free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Not only is Rogers not that level of top class but to be his best he needs a style of midfield that, even taking coaching into account, we just don't have at the moment. Like sure, we can buy and he'd probably bring Tielemans with him, yay, but you need a manager who can work with what we've got to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment wasn't particularly serious and I was thinking more long term than someone like Conte, or even Zidane but United need to be winning trophies so I see the point in going for someone who has been there and done that.

I'd love a long term top class manager too. That kind of stability can be comforting. But I also think United need to move away from relying on a manager to stay long term. Many clubs these days are set up to cope with managers being replaced every 2-3 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AncalagonTheBlack Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 and Southampton have imploded. oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Not really imploded, they had no business still being in that game in the second half. Chelsea was completely in control of that match (and had two goals scratched off), then the saints suddenly ended up with a penalty and thus got an equalizer out of thin air. Chelsea continued to pushed, and after Southamptonb were down to 10 men they upped the pressure. That Tuchel brought on Barkley, that was borderline trolling, and it actually worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 If you have the opportunity to watch highlights from Germany's second tier football somewhere. I can't recommend yesterday's Aue-H$V match enough for comedy value. Final score was 1-1, really pity how Aue has let them off the hook, but both goals were real comedy gold. You can thank me later.

Conte pretty much nailed on will rock the boat at some point when he doesn’t get something he wants. I don’t think there’s much chance the Glazers want any part of that.

I think there was a penalty, but it was so minor and happened well before the actual goal and the player was able to recover before anything happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Things going from bad to worse for Barca. 2-0 down against Atleti and it could have been more. Barca's defending is wank. Even with two holding midfielders they are wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spotted a foul in the play leading up to the goal. Tough luck for Werner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, just wait for a few more weeks and you can have Koeman, without paying Barca any compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
