I too want bloodshed. You think they could convince Arsene Wenger to take the job?

Whats Sven-Goran Eriksson up to these days?

Steve Bruce in as a club legend morale boost six month contract, and then inexplicably sign him to a long term deal at the end of the season?

"That was hit with violence!", God I love British announcers.

Some people have a lot of time on their hands, but this is hilarious!

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has left his position as Manchester United manager, the club confirmed.

A club statement read on Sunday: "Manchester United announces that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has left his role as manager.

The club confirmed that former player Michael Carrick, who was part of Solskjaer's coaching staff, will take charge as caretaker. The club also confirmed their intention to appoint an interim manager until the end of the season.

Tottenham havent scored a league goal in almost 6 hours?

Their last shot in anger is measured in geological terms.

Locke · 11-21-2021, 10:09 AM

Lol...the commentators really giving it to Spurs.

"Spurs' goals as a team this season are 2 fewer than Mo Salah alone."

Yeah, it’s a little deceiving though. They had a couple good chances against Everton, hit the post and that kind of thing. Technically, not a shot on target, but to me that’s kind of a grey area.

Regardless though, they’re just too timid going forward. It must take some time to break from the Mourinho and Nuno setup/mindset I guess.

Well Andy Townsend is an idiot. I have no idea why we always get stuck with him. Earlier he was after Kane for not taking a shot first time…which was virtually impossible. He’s just lost.

Slava · 11-21-2021, 10:15 AM

That was a nice goal though.

Senator Clay Davis · 11-21-2021, 10:21 AM

This might be Conte's toughest job yet, Spurs aren't close to a top four contender, let alone an actual title contender.

d_phaneuf · 11-21-2021, 10:59 AM

Conte took kane of free kicks

Build the statue

Slava · 11-21-2021, 11:26 AM

Much better second half and hopefully that was a turning point. Not perfect, of course, but a little more bold and enjoyable to watch. Nice to see Sessegnon involved as well and hopefully he can progress.

Matty81 · 11-21-2021, 09:16 PM

Sounds like Zidane is out of the running at united. I think Graham Potter is the best choice for them but it seems like they are not even considering him. That club is full of super talented mercenaries and what it needs is a youngish manager with an understanding of rhe English game who they give a lot of rope to really create a culture and some team spirit, not another hired gun from the continent who is new to the league or has limited experience to try and play whack a mole

devo22 · 11-22-2021, 07:22 AM

I think there's only three realistic options and those are Ten Hag, Pochettino and Rodgers. Zidane doesn't want to come and Enrique will surely stay with the Spanish NT.

Ten Hag would be my top choice. He had the chance to dismiss the rumours yesterday and chose not to, so I think there's some interest. It'd be in the summer though, and although he's done an excellent job at Ajax, there would be question marks. He'd leave his comfort zone (which includes a great structure with van der Sar and Overmars), and it'd be a big step up. But I do believe he has all the makings of a top manager. I could easily seem him succeed Guardiola at City, for example.

Pochettino is apparently not happy at PSG and the likes of BBC report there's a chance that United could get him now. I think he'd be a really good appointment, I've always rated him and I think he'd be a pretty good fit.

And then there's Rodgers, who is the only one of three that I'd be unhappy with. Granted, I can't stand the guy and that might taint my judgement.

So for me, it's Ten Hag > Pochettino >>> Rodgers. A solid interim like Rangnick (who is a candidate, per The Athletic) and then Ten Hag in the summer would be great, but I'd be very happy with Pochettino too. Especially if he agrees to come now instead of next summer.

Slava · 11-22-2021, 07:29 AM

Rangnick was who I was hoping Spurs would bring in last summer when they ended up with Nuno. I thought that he’d be more in a DoF capacity though, obviously before we got Paratici as well. Maybe he’d come in now, and then hire someone underneath him in the summer?

I had read yesterday that Darren Fletcher was going to be a caretaker until the next offseason though. Maybe that’s off now.

Cappy · 11-22-2021, 02:51 PM

Has Senator Clay Davis given us his opinion on what ManU should do, yet?
