Thing is, we've been here before during his reign and Utd always seem to put a few wins together.  That said, even then they still haven't looked convincing.  I don't think there is a list of any outstanding candidates to be honest.  Personally, I wouldn't have a problem with the likes of Rodgers or maybe the Ajax manager.  Potter is definitely one to watch in the future, has Brighton playing some great stuff.

I'd actually love Rodgers to go and be a success, but I think the likes of Pobga and Ronaldo (most of the squad actually) are too far up their own holes to play for someone who's not a big name like him.

The three envelope trick would soon put an end to that  ;D

Look-Up!

That's the problem with OGS, he has a lot of quality in the squad but he'll never have them consistent enough to win the league. But just when there's talk of changing him he'll go on a bit of a run. They have a tough run in the PL coming up against the big guns and I'd imagine he'll do quite well against them.

I think Rodgers could be an option at times but then you look at some of the bad runs he has went on, including the current one, but it doesn't get the same coverage. I would bite the bullet and go for Conte.

Really hope they don't go for Conte, not the right fit for Utd IMO.

And how would Potter be the right fit ? He might play decent football, but totally different aspirations managing at Brighton. Conte has won 5 League titles with 3 different clubs.

He has worked with Pogba previously also

It's all about opinions.  Never been a fan of his style previously and don't think he's a long term solution.  What I do know is the Utd aren't going anywhere with Ole in charge.

You never know, Conte could come and build an empire. Been unfortunate in the situations he has faced in his last 2 jobs.

Rodgers had an interview before but they went with Jose instead. A mistake in hindsight.

Rodgers could do well but he isn't a proven winner.

Only if you have Rangers in the same League! And how you got on in Europe!

That cant count in all seriousness.

I'm as likely to get the Utd gig as Rodgers FFS.....

The whole Ole out thing is a bit mad in my opinion. His limitations must be obvious to the club at this stage? Has anything spectacularly different happened in the 9/10 games this far this season? Not really, so why the current drama?
