⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Altryist]

As per Romano's latest confirmation, Carrick is already sacked by Manchester United following MU's verbal agreement with Pochettino. So we can expect Pochettino to come to Old Trafford in the coming days.

What do you guys think over this signing? I'm not really feeling optimistic with United's decision to choose Pochettino to continue Carrick's legacy. Poch is not something who can't bad legacy by Carrick. So i think he's also gonna be doomed from the start.

Any opinions?

Of course I would like to see someone like Nagelsmann at Manchester United, someone whose managerial level would be significantly higher than that of his recent predecessors. As for Pochettino, I think he is also capable of turning things around at the club, but only if the Manchester United board gives him the freedom to make his own decisions and provides the necessary funding to strengthen the squad with new signings. In any case I see this as a positive move, because Manchester United have already reached a dead end under Carrick.

We see a new manager at Manchester United every year. Manchester United has never been able to achieve stability. Now that Carrick has left the team, the focus is on who will replace him. Nagelsmann, with his young and modern approach to football, could be a good option, in my opinion. Perhaps Manchester United should now embark on a new phase of development.

We never can tell what will come out of this appointment. I will wait to see his work ethics before I will criticize him. If we are being realistic Pochettino is not that very bad. My only concern is if Manchester United will be able to buy him players that he will request. If they can give him the right players, I’m confident that his performance will be far better than Carrick. Pochettino is not a newbie manager, I know he fully aware of the workload waiting for him.

According to an official statement from Manchester United, Carrick has stepped down from his role as Manchester United’s head coach. This is a diplomatic statement out of respect for Carrick, who was once a part of Manchester United’s history, as the word “sacked” implies something far from respectful.

There are rumors of interest in Pochettino for the job at Old Trafford. In my opinion, Pochettino is a good coach, and I liked his strategies and tactics during his time managing Tottenham. But no matter how good a coach is, if management continues to meddle too deeply in lineup decisions, it won’t bring about much change—and that, I suspect, is the problem Manchester United faced with Carrick and his predecessors.

Ye has already been sacked according to BBC [1] with Thomas Frank now leading the line. Seriously this crystal palace situation is not different from Manchester United because it’s a recruitment issue. The past manager Oliver Glasner actually left because he didn’t feel he was backed enough by the club which had sold players like Micheal Oliseh and Eberechi Eze plus having won multiple titles including European trophies failed to actually signed betters players instead feed the new Pierre Sage with average signings and then throw him under the bus.

Yes Thomas Frank was definitely a great manager at Brentford but failed at Tottenham because even at spurs he was failed to be backed and if same thing happen again at Crystal Palace like with Sage they will most likely be the same story in few months time

This news did not come as a surprise, it was way long expected for him to get sacked after Manchester United continue to struggle in winning most of their premier League games. And for the incoming new manager, Pochettino, We all saw Pochettino's performance while at Chelsea, I don't think he will make a big difference either, but couple the fact that the current coaches in England right now are all average managers, so no manager to really compete that much with.

Manchester united with signing Pochettino does not change anything for the club. You could look back at Pochettino's coaching career and see that he has not won a major European trophy, aside the domestic trophies he won at PSG. Nagelsmann on the other hand is not top-level manger, what are the chances that they would make impact in a broken club?

At this point, Manchester United would keep struggling with managers until they change their management, that's their major problem right now.

So sad to see Carrick leave, I felt like they should have given him more time, I saw his vision but the results wasn't comforting for the board bit is bringing in Pochettino any better ? I feel like Pochettino is a glorified Amorim and even though you give this certain managers players, they will always say you didn't give them enough mean while managers in Bournemouth and Brighton are making it work, players should not the problem

Having managed Tottenham and Chelsea before, Mauricio Pochettino already understands how the English Premier League works. Manchester United at the moment is a shadow of themselves, it'll take a little while for a good manager to improve them to the level that they'll become very competitive again.

Pochettino might as well succeed to turn things around immediately but if he doesn't, the best they club management can do is to be patient with him and give him the necessary support he'll need to improve the team's performance.

[yourmamam]

in my opinin, even if Manchester United were to go through another ten managers, the team would still struggle. I believe the core problem lies with the players, not the coach. Discussions Fans surrounding Manchester United almost always attribute the team failures solely to the coach, leading to calls for their dismissal yet no one looks at the players themselves. The current Manchester United squad possesses a very weak mentality, unlike the era of Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs who were true role models, today player lack the competitive spirit expected of stars. I would point specifically to their captain, Bruno Fernandes his arrival in 2020, the team has faced a string of poor form, even as various high profile managers have come and gone.

If the rumored appointment of a new manager such as Mauricio Pochettino come, who is currently the subject of much talk were to happen, I predict the outcome would be exactly the same the club management would simply end up searching for yet another replacement by next season.

I believe that in fact we need to talk to the individual, they cannot go and change the coach, an important job must also be done with the young players present in the team, we must not underestimate this situation, they have no mentality and what you describe is perfectly what is happening.

firing carrick was the right decision although they waited too long. it’s not easy to bring in a replacement in the middle of the season. top class managers don’t want to join a team mid season. it’s hard to succeed with a team you didn’t build yourself. it’s difficult to implement a new playing philosophy while the leagues are still going on.

pochettino has managed 3 different teams in the premier league before. he has experience and knows the league well, but his level of success is debatable. i think he’ll be more successful than carrick, no matter what. manchester united doesn’t have much left to play for this season, they’ll try to climb as high up the standings as possible. but when it comes to aiming for the championship from the start of the season, i don’t think pochettino can achieve that.

It is what it is at the end of the day, let's see how Pochettino will transform the team when he arrives since Manchester United board thinks that coach is the problem of the club. Most United fans are saying that Pochettino is the right man for the job. They will still be the same people that will condemn Pochettino when things starts going the other way. It's sad that Carrick has cut ties with Manchester United, i expected the club to give him more time but it was as if Manchester fans was about to slaughter his throat. Club's management are really ungrateful, that is why I like coaches who prioritise the paycheck so that if they are sacked they will leave with a big bag. I can't believe that after Carrick's performance for Manchester United last season, the club is not able to consider his struggles and wait a bit longer before taking final decision.

Manchester United have now had 13 managers in 13 years, this is including interim managers, since Alex Fagie left the club.
Is it that Manchester United is expecting more from today's coaches or the coaches are below standard; or management is the real fault.

Names of the managers after Alex Fagie...

David Moyes
Ryan Giggs (interim)
Louis van Gaal
José Mourinho - He tried and doesn't deserve a sack, but the effect of Sir Fagie was intoxicating UTD
Ole Gunnar Solskjær - Also doesn't deserve a sack, he was better than Arteta then, but see Arteta now
Michael Carrick (interim) - Was excellent in the few matches he played
Ralf Rangnick (interim)
Erik ten Hag
Ruud van Nistelrooy (interim)
Ruben Amorim
Darren Fletcher (interim)
Michael Carrick
Mauricio Pochettino - will he succeed?

Is Pochettino the man to bring back the lost glory?

BREAKING: Crystal Palace are progressing in talks with Thomas Frank to take over as manager if, as expected, they sack Pierre Sage]

It seems not only Manchester United want a change for their head coach. Crystal Palace are suffering a lot. The club has decided to get a new coach.
Thomas Frank returns to England. Terms are not yet agreed but talks are continuing between Palace and the former Brentford and Tottenham boss

Yes I think crystals palace has also been on the line to sack Pierre sage, I was expecting it since on Monday but I guess they didn’t proceed with the decision until today. There is also a rumour around and I think it might be true that the next person to be in charge will be Thomas frank, as he’s the leading candidate to replace sage.
This sack of managers by two different EPL clubs(Manchester united & Crystal Palace) on the same day is just a coincidence. I don’t think any of the sacks influenced the other, it’s just two clubs struggling and looking for a way out as the two club are seating currently 18th and 20th position respectively on the league table.

True Pochettino is not a reputable figure in terms of player management, Nagelsmann is much more solid and proven to bring success with Bayern Munich.
We don't know which way the United officials want to take this club. They want to destroy Manchester United from the inside. Allowing the hands of incompetent hands to manage the players. I am sure that Pochettino fate will not be long in coming, at most only until the end of the season or at the maximum until the beginning of next season and being replaced again.

Like I did say previously, there's a slight possibility that he can be successful this time because all the Premier League big teams are battling and facing one or two challenges: Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal are not in their best form like ever, and only Arteta happened to be the manager that every other coach or team is afraid of, and that's an advantage for Pochettino coming back to England right now to manage the Man United team.

Pochettino might as well succeed to turn things around immediately but if he doesn't, the best they club management can do is to be patient with him and give him the necessary support he'll need to improve the team's performance.

I personally hope that in his contract he has had the guarantee and the assurance of the Manchester United board that they would back him up heavily financially during the transfer window to be able to get players that he desires to turn this Manchester United team into the Red Devils that we know them to be. If there isn't such a clause in his contract, I fear that his stay in Manchester United will not be long either, as other coaches have because the Manchester United board will show poor support again to him during the transfer window and the bad season will continue while he will be blamed.

The Manchester United board have been very patent with him. I am not sure most major clubs would give a coach such chances to change the fortune of the club. He came in as a savior of the club but unfortunately he couldn't sustain the momentum.

United a willing to pay $10m (£7m) release clause in Mauricio Pochettino. It shows that they really want the services of the Argentine coach. Why pay such an amount when there are good coaches that don't have such financial obligations. The club believes that the current United States national team would do a good job.

Yes, I will say the same, the manager should be given financial freedom and be given the power to make decisions alone. If Pochettino can make decisions alone and has financial freedom, then he can bring back the glory days of Manchester United. Manchester United needs changes in several areas, the defense of the team is not very good, those who are in the midfield are also not able to play much role in the team's attack as well as they are not able to help the defenders, so considering all this, when the manager decides and brings the player he wants to the club, that player will definitely be suitable for the club and from then on the performance of the club will change.

The manager has been appointed during the international break, which means the manager will have some time before taking the field in the next match.

Hopefully we will see some new strategies in the match against Liverpool.
