    I heard the Potter thing about England the other day [ie him being the future on that front] but then though, isn't he older than Southgate?

    Potter, being back in favour again after that long [ish] winless/goalless run, would be an interesting appointment, but would very much herald the need for a multi-year overhaul of things, and wouldn't lend itself to dreams of 70s style total football being the order of the day next season.

UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin was personally involved in helping to facilitate the return to safety.[17]

    I've no idea how accurate that salary/finances thing I posted earlier is, but out of curiosity I looked through some of the big leagues and lolled at the wages Bale, Hazard and Griezmann appear to be stealing in Spain, then I looked at PSG.

    He'll be as good or as shit as the recruitment. If Phil Jones and Juan Mata are still there next season then write it off.

    Bart Vriends was on FiveLive earlier saying Ten Hag was the greatest manager he's ever worked with which is a pretty big statement. Also offered some shite story about him reorganising the drinks or some shit to show he means business. Yeah but does he have the balls to ban the Colman's.

    Instead, Ten Hag was asked by United to look at the existing staff first before making any major decisions.

    However, it is now understood that McClaren - who was Sir Alex Ferguson’s No 2 when United won a historic treble of Premier League title, Champions League and FA Cup in 1999 - will be appointed as one of two new assistants along with Mitchell van der Gaag, Ten Hag’s current assistant at Ajax.

    "...and that, boysch, isch how you play good football. Schteve?"

    "Yes, boss, so, lads, to translate..."

    He can stand next to him at interviews like Bielsa's boy.

    Steve McClaren was kept around by the next United manager, Wayne Rooney so I think he's still a decent coach. Let's start talking about 99 again🤤

    A mighty fine coach of four fifths of the game, unfortunately during his coaching badges missing the days where you work on the final 18 yards.

    Manchester United could move for Ivory Coast international Sebastien Haller, 27. The striker currently plays for incoming United manager Erik ten Hag at Ajax. (Sun)

    I heard an interview with Rangnick yesterday, where he basically admitted that he wasn't involved in the ten Hag decision, and that he had only spoken to him once.

    Wasn't the whole point of Rangnick that he was going to coach for 6 months, then step "upstairs" and rebuild the structure, be the DoF and start thinking a little more long term.

    Did you miss the Liverpool game? We had completely fallen apart under Ole. The difference now is they're just phoning it in.

    Van der Gaag in as assistant and it looks like Schteve will be joining the party too.

    Ten Hag is starting at United from tomorrow, although seems Rangnick remains actual manager until the end of the season.

    What do you mean? He was never set to officially take over as manager until after the season ends and I doubt he'd want to do so for one game. He's just making an early start on the behind-the-scenes stuff.

    I mean it's another odd way of doing things in a list of odd way of doing things that Man Utd seem hell bent on adding to.

    He should make sure he gets in early and parks in the manager's space.

    Do they still have a space reserved for Sir Alex? That's the power move.

    I want to know how they retire it. When he dies do they cement his car in the spot? Do they put up a statue? You can't retire a parking spot Sir Alex is welcome to use.

    I'd forgotten Ole's "won't park in the boss' spot" thing. What a twerp.
