    New stadium and they need to win something! Guaranteed with Jose despite the type of football he plays!

    Winning titles? Exactly what spurs need

    i just can't see a world in which United do anything about it - I don't think United have the courage or inclination to call time on the Ole experiment.

    Ole will limp along to the end of the season at least, and Poch will have a new job before then.

    THough I could see Poch taking time off til the summer, and seeing what happens at Madrid - Bayern could nab him before then maybe. Not sure what other clubs would be going for him.

    The club may split the difference - not move now but get Poch in after one or two losses. But really, this is a golden opportunity. I like your idea of Ole and Phelan taking upstairs roles too.

    Ole for DOF?

    Poch is gone. Apparently it’s official, got text from a spurs friend. See it’s also on sky.

    Just heard it on the Wales match as well

    Utd should be all over this and get Poch in right away but unfortunately this board wont make the right decision....

    It's a no brainier for me, id have Poch at utd in a heart beat at this stage and it's infinite better to what we have at the moment unfortunately

    Did not think he’d be a fan of working under Levy.

    Would be surprised if spurs pay Jose what he wants and commit to giving him the budget he will want. The players seem to have had enough of this playing for cheaper than the market rate stuff I really don’t see how poch will improve United.

    Ole stays for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,220 ✭✭✭Jurgen The German


    Interesting timing of Poch. There is clearly something rotten behind the scenes. No more than the end of Jose with us, player power has cost him the job.

    Would be happy to see him get the United job but unfortunately, I can see us sticking with Ole til the bitter end and this time next year lamenting that we should have gotten Poch when we had the chance.

    It will be another end of season with no CL and languishing in the top 6, we sack Ole but Poch has already gotten a new job since and utd find it hard to get that top tier manager

    ****ing bite the bullet sack Ole and get Poch in. We have a top manager available now, just cut your losses with Ole

    Allegri is still around and I'd say he's in with a shout at Spurs too
    We all know how incompetent the Utd board is so I don' expect anything to happen on our side


  • Posts: 2,732 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Allegri to tottenham, pochetino to milano

    Poch could take a break until the summer and wait to see what happens at United, if he is interested in that job! Can’t see United sacking Ole as a result of this news!

    I’ve repeatedly said I don’t see the point in sacking Ole as there isn’t a great manager out there available to realistically bring in. Well that just changed, as my number 1 choice for the last 3 years has now become available.

    I’m sorry Ole but you have to go now if Poch is up for taking over straight away. Maybe he wants time off to consider his options but we have to bring Poch in next.

    Realistically Ole should be sacked as a result of the teams league position. Also if I were Poch I wouldn’t wait until Summer as we’ll be a confirmed mid table side by then.

    Some cross by Bale for Ramsey’s goal for Wales. Hope they hang on, some achievement for Giggsy if they do!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,479 ✭✭✭Quandary


    Getting Poch in should be a no brainer, but making decent footballing decisions is quite simply not something Ed Woodward and the leaches are interested in making.

    Ole is their man. He will quietly go about his job no matter how badly they let him down in the transfer market, and that suits them perfectly.

    I can see Poch having a go at Madrid.

    I want to see them hang on so we cant get them in the qualifiers tbh.

    Unless you mean them helping to clean out the attic I see no more reason for them to be a DOF then they had to be the manager.

    As noted, it is the results and performances that should be seeing him sacked, not this news. A couple of wins against the likes of Brighton has changed absolutely nothing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,134 ✭✭✭✭Rayne Wooney


    If you want to predict what the club will do, just think of something that makes complete sense, and then do the exact opposite.

    We’ve been doing it for years, 10 year contract for Ole in the morning and then sack him for Poch next Monday when we roll over for Sheffield United

    José would assuming Levy doesn't promise him the Disneyland of football when he'll actually be managing Thorp Park.

    Even as a man with reservations over Poch I would be hard pressed to turn him down if he would be open to it.

    Either way, pressure will now begin to increase on Ole. From the fans for the first time properly I think, with someone like Poch to whet the appetite for change.

    Ole isn't the only manager who can save United, hell he hasn't shown anything at all to suggest he is one of the managers capable anyway and though I think he has a good idea of where united should be or how they get there I don't think he has the ability to get us there and I don't see how it works moving him upstairs either.

    Could be big changes in the near future now whereas before I'd have said no way ole is gone until bear seasons end. The potential to get in a high calibre manager who is proven in the league for no fee may be too much to turn down

    Go Giggsy, Wales getting closer!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,611 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor


    while I don't think United would be planning on sacking Ole any time soon, as long as Poch is available...Ole and United are in for a rough ride. any poor result, or especially a couple of bad results in a row will have the vultures circling quick.

    Away to Sheff United at the weekend - they've been better than us this season and if United don't come away from there with a win, that pressure will start to ramp immediately.

    Ole will be hoping Poch is in a new (not United) job very soon.

    I don’t see how or why any result over the next few weeks should matter. Either Poch is the right man (and interested) or he isn’t, it’s been a muck season by any stretch. I don’t see how united would take a wait and see approach to see if Their Hail Mary Ole gamble will work just because there has been a few decent results of late.


  • Posts: 19,923 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Really don't think Poch is anything special. He improved certain players but given the talent at his disposal he should have done better, CL final aside but that was a crazy tournament last year and there was more than a bit of luck on their side.

    I mean he's just another manager who's not taken that next step. Talented man management at times but his tactics have often looked off and wayward. In must win games where they have the better team he rarely came up with the goods which I know sounds silly considering their CL run last year but I believe that was a freak tournament with Ajax knocking out Juve,who knocked out Atletico in bizarre circumstances too.

    Ole was hired to get rid of all the bad vibes and personalities in the dressing room. 2 of which were being called babies by an ex Everton fella in the paper this week.

    Results were rough the season was always going to be a write off sacking him now that he has done a large portion of that and he is about to go into a transfer window because some fella got sacked for having a team with Kane, son and deli Ali playing relegation form for the past 10 or so months and maybe we should hire him is farcical.

    He didn’t have money to spend? What will we do give him loads of money to spend. Who will he buy? Kane, son and deli Ali. Win the league at a canter if we had poch, Kane son and deli Ali. That’s for damn sure.

    Most definitely wouldn't win the league with those 3 never mind at a canter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,461 ✭✭✭Daroxtar


    So what exactly has Potch won? Manager of the month on 4 occasions......

    Ye but if he had money to spend on them he might. His problem at spurs was he couldn’t buy anybody.

    Ole out,Poch out and the manager after him out too.....maybe i'll be willing to actually let a manager try and build something after that!
    Shouldnt be too hard by then with a squad bought by 7 different managers with different visions!
