Evening ED001,

Hope all is good with you. What are your thoughts on the Man United manager position?

Would you giblve it to Carrick if he secured CL football? If not which manager (s) would you go for?

Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - personally I would not keep Carrick. He has done a good job steadying things, but I don't see signs of him having the ability to take it up a level. Enrique would be the dream for any team, but realistically I think Hoeness and Iraola are the stand outs.}

For me, Enrique is by far the best option. After that, probably Nagelsmann. If we can't get either of those 2, I'd probably stick with Carrick for now, as I don't see the rest being a major upgrade.

Thanks ED001,

I agree about Enrique. Although, I have a feeling that the club will stick with Carrick.

{Ed001's Note - it is a safe option to stick, but it doesn't feel like the right one for the long term.}

I often think that I should give up with the club for an utter lack of any vision. If they want to stick with comfy slippers, they get what they deserve.

He does feel abit OGS.

{Ed001's Note - very much so.}

I don't think many stand out options are available this summer, that is why we might see Carrick ending up in the job.

Agree with Ed, Sebastian Hoeness is the only interesting choice aside from Carrick.

People said there weren't any stand out options every single time we have needed a management change. Add a name, and there will be some reason he isn't better than the comfy slipper temp or the one we had.

Hell, people defended ETH, saying it. Thing is, every other club in the world manages it. Our fan base and club are far too emotional in decisions. It's time for a very high profile, currently performing manager.

One question, Red Man, who?

Said a number of times, Simeone.

Enrique and Nagelsmann would even run the rule over Iraola.

We also still seem to want an all-powerful manager, then get emotionally super-charged about whoever we get, and sacking them becomes a historic event that sees open weeping.

I don't get the hype with Enrique, honestly.

While he is doing well at the moment, we have to take into account a few things.

While coaching Barcelona and PSG, he had some of the strongest squads in football, which we don't have. Furthermore, at PSG, he can rest, rotate and even postpone matches as he pleases, since they are by far the strongest team in the league. Also, people seem to forget how bad PSG were up until January last season, until they "clicked", but the question is, could he allow that bad form in a more competitive league?

His Spain side was terrible to watch, with bad results following that.



And if I remember correctly, he didn't do much at Roma either.

That said, he might have evolved and become a top manager, but I do have my concerns over him.

Simeone doesn't speak English, I think that's a pro bem. Enrique, I agree with him, he's a talent. Nagelsmann had one good spell and little since. As I said elsewhere, I am stumped.
