I Feast On Dogshit posted:I'm sure David Moyes will be utterly inconsolable today, with that cheque in the post with his huge pay off in the post. Ten months into a six year contract. From what we know about Moyes's character, I'm sure no amount of money could make up for how badly he hosed up his big career chance. That's why I feel a little bad for him.

Modus Trollens posted:LvG will get the job I've read a bit speculation on this and while most try to conclude that he would be a good fit they say its unlikely because he wouldn't accept Alex Ferguson being anywhere near the club at all and would upset a lot of the old boys at the club with his leadership style. He might also be a bit too controversial for their liking, even though he would be great for promoting and developing younger players and has the experience of being at massive clubs with all sort of chaos surrounding them and still producing results. There's also the fear that he would last for two or three year and leave the club in total turmoil because he's a mentalist. edit: Klopp has already ruled himself out quote:Jürgen Klopp has ruled himself out of the Manchester United job. The 46-year-old told the Guardian: "Man Utd is a great club and I feel very familiar with their wonderful fans. But my commitment to Borussia Dortmund and the people is not breakable." http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/apr/22/jurgen-klopp-job-manchester-united-moyes-borussia-dortmund?CMP=twt_gu

Welp, bye Moyes. No other way around it with those results. I honestly don't know who would be good to bring in now. I'm curious, who would non-United fans consider a good pick? Assuming Klopp is unavailable and other managers at big clubs (Ancelotti) aren't interested. I have to admit I don't know enough about van Gaals style as a manager to have an opinion of him one way or the other. Maybe Laurent Blanc? But I don't know if he'd want to leave PSG. He's always had a good relationship with United and Ferguson and he seems like a very capable manager from what I've seen.

What they need is for somebody to come in and completely tear this squad apart rather than try to continue with it like Moyes was doing but with a few additions.

Thank christ he's gone. Klopp is obviously the ideal replacement. If he truly can't be bought by dump trucks of money then idk. Pochettino maybe.

Simeone has done wonders at Atletico but his career before that was a real mixed bag. Also he's one of those mentalists like Domenech who makes decisions on players based on their star signs.

There's over a month from the end of the World Cup to the start of the new season though, and post World Cup silly seasons are by far the worst
