TDR V2 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The fact Ratcliffe wants this clown (if rumours are true) kind of proves that he knows nothing about football... I think he needs to leave that to Brailsford, he transformed British cycling and knows what sporting success is... On the other hand, I sincerely hope they employ Southgate, I can think of no better match 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I hope they don't get him as he'd be so crap they'd sack him pretty quickly. Better to have an ineffectual manager who gets them nowhere but occasionally beats city or Liverpool to buy himself another 12 games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His tactics consist of letting Hendo & Phillips keep things calm and boring people to death. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkiller1981 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 More talk of him being targeted by ratcliffe to take over from Utd. I am manifesting intensely for this to happen I think he would be great for Utd 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panto_Villan Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I'd love to see their transfers if he took over. Henderson back in the PL, Kalvin Phillips getting another chance at a "big" club, etc. Although to be fair, if they're looking to do a proper rebuild from the ground up then he might be a good guy to take over for a year or two to get the culture at the club back in order. I think his successor would probably have a decent platform to work with afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be very weird timing to say you want to replace the current manager after he's just knocked Liverpool out of the FA Cup and their fans love him. Seems more likely this noise is coming from Southgate's camp, to raise his profile as he'll likely be gone after Euro's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he gets a Premier League job. Not even teams like Bournemouth, Palace or Fulham would want him. Maybe a promoted team that sacks the manager early doors gives him a chance but I honestly can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 2 hours ago, Dodgyknees said: Insane that Mainoo gets a call up after 15 caos, yet Ramsey was on fire last season and didn’t get a look in. Grealish had to prove himself. Konsa consistently overlooked. Mental. I imagine if attacking midfield, cutting-in-from-the-left were a position that England were lacking in then Ramsey probably would have got a call-up. But last season the likes Rashford, Grealish and Foden were doing just fine. Likewise, if we had a young player who was excelling in a position where England's current choices are Jordan Henderson and Kalvin Phillips he might have been called up just like Mainoo has been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Mainoo's inclusion is insurance for the Man United job, no other logic to it. He wouldn't last a season at Old Trafford playing the football that England play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is good at being boring and organised but hope for that moment of magic, the latter part is which what manure is best at. He may do well changing the culture as well in the dressing room.

The longer the better, tbf. Hopefully, we will then have a England manager capable of maximising the talent at his disposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
