Wonder if Emery might leave Villa?

Would love Iraola or Glasner but don't see why either would leave

Glasner threatened to quit if Palace sold Guehi allegedly. He’s very unhappy about the lack of investment at Palace. Either him or Iraola would say yes to us. Emery seems like he’s burning out at Villa too, I’d be lesser keen on him.

This.

And they manage Crystal Palace and Bournemouth so hardly big name clubs or clubs that are going places. Palace only won their first major honour as a club a few months and Bournemouth's biggest trophy won was the championship.

So while things are going well for them atm they're managing clubs who are basically stepping stones for people to get bigger moves. Wait too long to make that move and it might never come around if you hit a rough patch form wise.

Sunk cost fallacy in full effect.

Glasner is not the answer, he’s this years Graham Potter when he was at Brighton.

I been a defender of Amorim for ages, its sunk in now that he needs to go.

Cut ties and be dine with it. Ive been too sentimental about it.

Get Ole in for the rest of the season and then have a look or start putting feelers out now for while available in the summer.

Amorim has gotten everything hes asked for, more training time on the pitch, its only 1 game a week and there's zero improvement.

Nice guys finish last and his talk won't cut it anymore. The match going fans have given him more leeway than anyone else. These are the same fans signing his name in away defeats etc.

INEOS need to pull the finger out and take action.

I'm so fed up of this club being a shambles.

Same. I will be annoyed if they don’t act tomorrow. I wouldn’t risk letting him have the Sunderland game - the chances are that letting some form of caretaker come in for that game ends in a better result. Take the international break to agree with an interim to take over until the end of the season. I’m fine with Ole (suggested it when EtH was sacked, didn’t want them to rush into someone) - but there’s also the chance he may not want it. Hard to know. RvN doesn’t fill me with confidence even as an interim option. Beat a very poor Leicester side twice, PAOK first half was awful and the Chelsea game was meh. Carrick? I don’t know. It’s a long season if he ends up not being able to handle it.

The main thing is, we have 32 league games left. The season isn’t over. Act now, don’t delay the inevitable and there is still a chance of a respectable league finish. Newcastle, Villa & Forest finished in the places we are aiming for this year and they have all started poorly. So it’s like a second chance in a way - but you can’t have Amorim around for it. It won’t work, why wait for it to get worse.

The players do need to be better as well. There are definitely individual errors contributing to poor results. I suppose you could say that for every team this season though. I don’t know if it’s more of an issue with us or not.

Ragnick gets an oddly hard time he came into a mess and while we didn't play good football under him he organized us well and winning games, but when we got knocked out of the champions league the players gave up, I remember the Bruno interview saying we had nothing left to play for even though we were well in the battle for top 4, then Fred also got injured the only lad who would run at the time and results fell off a cliff and we missed top 4

Maguire is far from a waster or clown. He's been very solid for us in his latter stages at the club. He shouldn't be talked in the same as the others imo.

Ridiculous comment. Glasner is clearly an excellent coach. Made significant improvements at every club he has coached.

And a trophy winner too, won the Europa league with Eintracht. And an FA Cup win against the odds vs Man City.

The problem for Utd is he's very much a 3-4-2-1 man.

Oh no wasn't a slight on you man was just in a rant and went with it 😅

Midfield has been a issue for years and Ole wanted Rice for example but wasn't backed by Woodword. He told the club about Halland years ago before he made his big move to Dortmund and Sesko was a signing he wanted when younger but the club wouldn't pay the 1.5mil at the time.

I'd say he'd take the job again and sure if he gets in contention for CL its a win win. Would put him in contention full time.

Getting way ahead of myself of whataboutry but this is what my mental state if the club has come to 😅

It would be absolute insanity to bring back ole, this time he wouldn't have McKenna and Carrick to hold his hand and would have to bring in staff with him. The man has failed everywhere he has been bar Norway and even the lad who replaced him at molde won as much as him twice as quick
