Strongly reported that Michael Carrick will be the caretaker manager for the rest of this season and then a permanent manager appointed in the summer are they waiting for a manager who is currently tied up with a country in the World Cup?

You know more than most, or seem more interested

Suppose any decent manager isn't going to be keen on jumping ship midseason world cup or not. Tuchel looks a strong possibility in the summer. 

[Look-Up!]

Jumping ship midseason certainly worked against Amorim.

It really is unfortunate he never got a full whack at it. I don't think his interview was an immediate sackable offence so obviously something more going on behind the scenes we'll never know about. I'd imagine a power struggle between Glazers and Radcliffe.

Amorim probably would have struggled to see beyond the remaining 18 months on his contract but we'll never know. But he wasn't afraid of the dirty work needed doing in the immediate term and could have left a very nice squad behind for the next man to deal with when he did eventually move on. As is, the new man will be dealing with a bit of a shit show and could be on a hiding to nothing in the short term.

Yeah if nothing else he should have got to the end of the season and by that stage could have maybe got rid of more the dead wood.

Just pushing those issues onto the next man, thing is the names that they are talking about will have serious demands in terms of a budget and the types of player that they will want to work with. Whether the club can deliver this is another thing and could be a point of contention as their tenure goes on.

The results probably warranted a sacking but thats not what he was sacked for. If he had them top of the league and had called the board out in the same way they'd have been looking him gone as well.

Criminal that they aren't making moves in January.

Agreed. And still a couple of problematic contracts at the club that offer nothing playing wise. Will hinder any immediate demands for major squad investment until they're deal with or run down over the next season or two.

Amorim from day one  was so negative and depressing. I know United has been a shit show in recent years , but if you're constantly moaning about how shit  the team is , how  much new players you need etc .. that will feed into players and fans heads , and generally create a  depressing atmosphere in and around  the club.

Amorim was  hinting at being sacked weeks into his reign. I always got the impression  he wanted to be sacked, from very early on . He never looked or sounded  like he was up to the job.

United are no further on  now than they were  when he took over.

Hard to miss the wall to wall media coverage Man United still get which is interesting when you consider how far the club have fallen since Fergusons retirement.

Would you really say he called the board out though? He was a bit thick in what he said but was hardly car crash stuff. Maybe should have been a bit more mature but you could say the same about the board. If they're that precious about a little dig maybe they're the ones unsuitable for the task.

Yeah you're right, was fairly mild compared to what they deserve but thats what got them sacked. Not sure who Wilcox thought he was trying to tell him how to play- you hired the fella knowing he liked the 343 system.

That's what makes me think there was a lot more too it than just the tactics, RA would have got the sense that no one at the club was too bought in too his 3-4-3 system, unless he is stupid which I don't think he is.

Think maybe more to do with the transfers and the lack of confidence in him being there in the longer term to work with any new signings he asked for.

If England do well at the World Cup or god forbid even win the thing I doubt there is a hope in hell Tuchel would go to a shit show like Man United. Would see him go to Real or someone.

[tiempo]

Tuchel has to be their number 1 choice, problem is if they are outed as going after him or come to any sort of pre-agreement it'll take over the news cycle and derail Englands campaign (they're due to win the WC yeno), which Utd Wilcox and Sir Jim will then get the blame for, its beautifully poised for even more schadenfreude

Joacim Low interim and then assistant to Tuchel immediately after WC is the ticket they need

Any word on the stadium?

Then you have the whole Ashworth fiasco going on last year. Did he bring Amorim in or was he anti-Amorim and fell out that they hired him? Lost track at this stage. Total chaos there when you think about it.
