We really aren't that far off challenging.

A decent cm, decent rb, cf and winger and with an identity we should be competing

So Robb, with your prophecy in tatters, will you back ETH fully?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I’ll back him fully but my opinion that he’s not as good as my first choices remains. I understand there’s not much between Poch and Ten Hag and I really won’t argue Poch is a much better choice. It’s a bit of a toss up. But I really think we needed a Conte more and he’s probably the only one who could get us up there with Klopp and Pep.

But I genuinely hope Ten Hag makes me eat my words as it’s getting boring now seeing managers come and fail. Surely someone has to get it right.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No, we all want ETH to succeed, playing the same brand of football that has become his trademark at Ajax.

It's going to take him time to stamp his authority over the current squad, it has too many rotten eggs in there. Hopefully, Ralf has identified those individuals and they'll be moved on before next season.

One thing that concerns me is the structure. Murtough is the DoF, would have preferred Ralf but ultimately Joel and Arnold have the last say on the squad, they could veto Murtough and the manager. It could be very much BAU but without Ed there! I just hope and pray Arnold is not another Ed.

The funniest rumour I saw this week was Ange at Celtic being the next City manager

----------------------------------------------------------------------

On paper we're on par with any squad until you see the lack of effort!

Work rate is a big part of footy. Watch the top sides with elite players working their socks off and then watch Utd and you'll see we're nowhere near ready to challenge anyone. The table and cup exits do not lie!

Optimistic.

If you challenge in less than 3 years the man is a top class manager

Think Naglesman will wait for Pep to leave and go to City, and seamlessly take over keeping them playing brilliant football.

No, only the deluded do. Otherwise the rest of us are quite realistic.

I think Viera is an outside choice for the City role

The fat bastirt has something about him.

Transformed them from schit show to champions in waiting quicker than anyone imagined. Will be a stepping stone between Celtic and a top job though. Plus he needs to prove it next season, he got lucky with Gerrard taking off while 4 pts clear and our new boss thinking it’s the eredivisie

Too early in his managerial career. He needs another stepping stone before taking the big job, maybe an Arsenal type of club next for him.

Plumpy. I doubt even Glazers want to go back to the bad old Ed days. They have appointed Murtough and Fletcher with Ralf as a consultant and seem quite confident in their abilities to look after the football side of things. TenHag must have bought into this structure

What is success at United these days?

It’s all relative. If he can get you playing good football with obvious improvement then the position next season shouldn’t matter as much.

I think with the amount of work he needs to do. Top 6, some successful signings and an identity would be enough. With 2 seasons expect CL, 3 a challenge. 5 a title.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How did the Glasgow derby go, Fash? I heard you got bummed again.

What's deluded about bringing in 4 decent players in positions we are lacking and a manager who has an identity in the way his teams play unlike the last 2 we have had?

A rb who can get forward and put in a decent ball... a cf who can find the back of the net and a cm who doesn't go missing every game would make a massive difference

Only 4?

More like GK, RB, LB, 2 CBs, RW, CM, CF

That's the size of the task for ETH to get us playing to his standards

Not sure if it's been mentioned on here, but bbc are reporting that he is out preferred choice. Looks like there is now a good chance it'll happen.

Yup Howard Nurse, Stoney and a few others saying basically it's all but done. Think it's out of respect for Ajax who have a cup final on the 17th and still in a title battle.

At least we’ll have announced him (when we do) with a decent part of the season to go so we can get a move on getting our targets sorted out asap
