Support NeoGAF

[Broder Salsa]

So Honigstein and BundesligaGAF are dismissing and laughing at any suggestion that Klopp might be interested in United.

This isn't a loaded question at all but can I ask why?

He will be waiting for the Barca job in the summer.

 

[Yurt]

Moyes is a pragmatist. At bigger clubs you need to be able to be more expansive, more original, more tactically flexible. Moyes has none of these qualities.

Fergie did this.

 

[Freewheelin']

We won't hire someone as bad as Moyes.

Maybe yeah, I am fully prepared for a terrible season though.

Look on the bright side, we won't have as far a distance to drop

Anyway, I doubt it.

For one, Scottish citizenship won't be one of the requirements we would look for in Wenger's successor.

True :lol

It'll be French instead.

 

[Salvadora]

On a human level it's hard not to feel bad for Moyes. Left a steady job where he was respected by his players, fans and board of management for a much bigger one where it soon became obvious that he was totally out of his depth. Now the reputation he built up over the last 10 years is in tatters.

But on the other hand, he's getting £12m compensation and undoubtedly will land in a job more of his level in the future.

 

[Arnie]

Klopp himself said several times he will fullfill every contract.

Gotcha. See that's what we need to hear.

I do see him as a bit of a romantic and a man of principle, so that makes sense.

Onto LVG & Simeone, then. That was quick.

 

[Phantast2k]

Nothing is impossible in football, but why would Klopp go to Utd? His wage is probably on par with Moyes' if not higher considering he's got a good billion of ad contracts here in Germany (from electric shavers & glue to cars and insurance). His image / personality is that of a loyal, down-to-earth guy next door you'd like to hang out and drink a beer with. He'd lose all that. Leaving out of the blue after having just extended his contract would completely ruin his reputation in the German public eye.

Also his near-mental-breakdowns would not sit well with the British public & FA and the shit press would tear him apart & Hitler-ify him.

Here he can completely shape the club the way he wants, he can make Dortmund his legacy just like Fergie made Utd. his. Why would he want to always be compared to Fergie and deal with fat, old balding stars?
Currently he's basically guaranteed to come in 1st-3rd in Germany - thus to compete in CL and has a legitimate shot at winning titles. He'd have nothing for granted at Utd. Even the big pile of money he might be given pales in comparison to the oil clubs and there are even more legit contenders in Liverpool & Arsenal and then some.

Apart from that he could walk in and out of jobs at almost any given club, why choose Utd. at this given time? When he decides to leave in 2016 or 2018 Utd. will probably still be in disarray & chaos. A second Fergie is hard to come by.

He´s gonna rebuild it pretty soon. Maybe not for a Top 4 club job, but something like Everton when he was there. If Mark Hughes could get a PL job after the horrible QPR fiasco, then Moyes shouldn't have to worry.

 

[noal]

He has to go; it's too much for him although I do feel sorry for him. This was his big chance and I don't think he will get another for a long time.

It's also sad that a big team has gone for a promising British manager and it's gone tits up. Maybe this will put clubs off and they will go to foreign managers even more than they do now.

With an exception for Liverpool.

 

[Scum]

It's going to be Van Gaal. Unless Utd fanny around.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Phil Neville.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Phil Neville.

Roy Keane. Manager experience and all.

Neil Lennon. Used to winning stuff.

So many opportunities.

 

[Jarnet87]

I can understand how happy the United fans must be. Like I was at Klinsmann's exit.

But I do feel for Moyes. Whoever followed Sir Alex had like a 90% chance of failure and 100% of being a let-down in comparison. At least Moyes had the balls to take the job.

Mourinho was the only manager in the world who could have embraced the challenge of replacing Fergie. he says he picked Chelsea, but we all know Ferguson screwed him out of the job and chose Moyes.

You've convinced me.

Which is good. Seeing Klopp at United would've been devastating.

I hope they go for LVG because he's a nutter and I think he'll just tear the rift open further.

 

[Salvadora]

It's going to be Van Gaal. Unless Utd fanny around.

That would raise more issues though.

For one, he'd have to wait until after the World Cup to settle into the job.

 

[justjohn]

Yesss united, Save us from this anfield nightmare.

Btw only two managers can really move them forward: klopp and simeone. Do everything you can to get them.

 

[LegoArmo]

How much can United get for Fellaini? £12m?

 

[King_Moc]

Urgh, Northampton have the chance to move out of the relegation zone for the first time since September and it looks like they could fail to win twice in a row. I suppose that's what happens when you don't bother having any strikers.

I would LOVE to see Rooney with Felix Magath.

RVP would tear his ACL in a week.

The tea lady could be the next manager of Utd.

David O'Leary

 

[Blablurn]

or ottmar hitzfeld :O

 

[Mr Cola]

Can't change the fact we have some useless shite in our team, good news is a new manager might not care about Rodney's rep

 

[danwarb]

They should go in for Roy after the world cup.

 

[LegoArmo]

I seriously am of the belief that Big Sam would have got top 4 this season.

 

[Scum]

That would raise more issues though.

For one, he'd have to wait until after the World Cup to settle into the job.

Oh shit! Yeah. There's that. Utd will want someone straight away.

I honestly don't think neither he or Simeone will leave their respective clubs for the forseeable future. We all saw what happened to AVB after a successful tenure at Porto. I do believe however that Man U need to find their own Brendan Rodgers, Jurgen Klopp, Diego Simeone, Pep Guardiola or what have you. Someone who understands Mancheser United, who can see what the team needs and who can completely change the team and make an instant impact. The question is who that person is going to be.

Big Sam with Fellani on his team is a deadly combination.

He'll still be maybe £12million richer, right?

Giggs is favourite on Paddy Power. I had completely forgot about Carlos Queiroz, wasn't he being groomed as the replacement for awhile.

Howard Kendall.

 

[bonesmccoy]

This is going exactly as Fergie planned.

1) Create a team only he could manage
2) Hire a bulgy-eyed Scot as his replacement
3) ??? (BES leads team into disaster)
4) Fergie gets re-appointed

 

[raven777]

Is Van Gaal the most likely candidate at the moment?

 

[Vivalaraza]

Apparently he was going to be dismissed tmrw, but might now happen today.

Just fuckin do it.
