MANCHESTER UNITED SACK MICHAEL CARRICKUSA COACH POCHETTINO EXPECTED TO BE APPOINTED TOMORROWhttps://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7768165/2026/11/09/michael-carrick-sacked-manchester-united/
>>158556328about time.pochetinno got very unlucky at psg, he doinated shitty in the CL, but they were extremely lucky. well I reckon psg got very lucky against bayern.
>>158556328ameribros why would poch just dump usa like yesterdays trash when they have better players than man utd
>>158556340he was really shit with chelsea and the american team though
>>158556343Shit program, shit players, nepotism and no real desire to actually develop good players.
Please take him United, fuck Poch
>>158556348was unlucky with team usa at the world cup. same he was unlucky in the cl final with spurs. the problem is that he's not a "league" manager, but he can do things in cups.
>poch is a 55 year old boomer nowi remember when he was in his prime a decade ago with spurs. also the last time he was relevant as a managerkinda crazy he won fuck all with prime lloris alderweireld vertonghen walker trippier son and kane, that team was stacked
>>158556363Good managers create their own luck.
>>158556357kek. whats he done that made you feel this way?
>>158556357Fuck the only guy that got you playing anything that looks like football?
>>158556363well he will fit at man utd because theyre not a league team for like 15 years
>>158556328OH HECK NO
https://reddit.com/r/coys/comments/1xs5ctt/ornstein_manchester_united_expected_to_sack/?sort=controversialspurs not happy kek
>>158556383>>158556387He’s a good manager and his teams play exciting attacking football but any time we come up against a real European or South American side trying to play that way we’re going to get embarrassed because our players aren’t good enough. We need a manager that will have us playing boring terrorist football and trying to win on counter attacks
>>158556433conte is available...
It was his turn...
>>158556415americans seem pleased her going https://reddit.com/r/ussoccer/comments/1xs5ev0/athleticornstein_carrick_expected_to_be_sacked_by/
>>158556444Someone like that would be ideal, Conte would hang up the phone before the US finished their pitch though. Mourinho is probably the most prestigious name we could realistically land and even that is a long shot.
>>158556452hes taking the USA job...until next november when poch gets sacked
According to ESPN these are the potential next USMNT coaches:>Steve Cherundolo (U23 coach)>Mikey Varas (USMNT assistant coach)>BJ Callaghan (Nashville SC)>Gareth Southgate (you know)>Pep Guadiola (you know)>Pellergrino Matarazzo (Real Sociedad but American born)>Brian Schmetzer (Seattle Sounders coach for over 24 years)I would say Cherundolo but the USMNT doesnt have enough U23 players that have coached him to go senior yet. The same De La Fuente and Southgate has. Also really Schmetzer?! He's been coaching in Seattle since 2002 idk if he wants something new
>>158556489>Pep>taking a job where he doesnt have some kind of bullshit advantage over everyonekek. is ten hag available? or even slot?
NOOOOWe wouldve actually got man utd relegated if carrick stayedWhy would anyone want to manage that shitshow? I hope poch doesnt go, he seems like a good manager
>>158556489eddie howe to USA is a done deal
>>158556489get thomas frank inor nuno
flying pigs reaction to the news
>>158556343He was just a stopgap. We want Herv Rennard
/m-mug/bros... n-not the mighty Poch...The man who brought Spurs to a CL final... who defeated the mighty Ajax to finish second place...Tell me ABLbros... are we cooked????
>>158556600I got sad news for you. The King of Africa (only beating Claude Le Roy) signed a few weeks ago to coach Ivory Coast for $2.3m a year
>>158556328Didn't except him to stay after the world cup>>158556489When they hired Dolo for the Olympic spot, it felt like it was priming him to take overNot overly improved but unless they can pull Mata don't really think it matters that muchAlso Varas is San Diego's coach
>>158556626Thank you Ivorian Coaster for the sad news
>>158556608>ABLbrosmong
>>158556600Stop promoting thia fucking fraudHe's the memest meme
United fans seem like the absolute dumbest goyim alive. How do you celebrate this when you still have these passionless bums playing for you
>>158556654>he doesn't know that Pochettino's nickname is LunchoState of this subredit
>>158556688>LunchoExplains why the Yanks wanted him then
>>158556343He did a pretty good job in the world cup but it was pretty clear he wasn't elevating the level (we got embarrassed by Belgium in March as well)I didn't think he was going to stay until 2030 so I didn't know why they offered the contract or why he took it>>158556489It's either Dolo as the guy or Dolo as the interimThey aren't getting a current MLS guy
>>158556353but enough about man united
IM THE /MUG/GERNAUT, BITCHsomeone ai slop the jugg with the mug root beer livery
>>158556343He realized the USMNT is beyond saving
Anybody want to shop this epic image with the faces of the Glazers, or Ratcliffe or Bruno or the Man Utd logo?Thank you.
Why did we never update this image?
>>158556783We got 4 wins from 4 games with a youth squad last window
>taking away both /mug/ and my NT’s coach
>>158556908its /mug/ver...
>>158556854
>>158556965Based
They're getting relegated then.
>>158556328Another one to do the humiliation ritual of managing modern united, might as well be the sports management equivalent of darksydephil, selling your dignity and reputation for money
United must be paying like £100m/year in alimony to former managers at this point.
Poch sucks and not even american. Never should have even let him back on the bus after that belgium disaster. All of europe just laughed at us and was bs because we're a top 10 team in the world
>>158557115But can you not look at all of the terrific signings he made at Chelsea from 2023 to 2024.He is a perfect appointment for Manchester United, only short of Gareth Southgate.
his last game was a bizarre one and not the game i thought that would get him sacked i can only imagine what happened for Poch to go fuck this shit i'll go manage man united then again Poch is a big fan of taking what can on paper described as potentially horrendous jobs 2014–2019 Tottenham Hotspur2021–2022 Paris Saint-Germain2023–2024 Chelsea2024–2026 United States2024–2028 Manchester United
>>158556717>t. Balding, fat, out of shape alcoholic, ex smoker with poor dental hygiene
>>158556328when is Rppney taking over
>>158556328So it happened again fucking hell even gary neville's a /mug/ger
>>158558790never gary forces him to talk to goldbridge every week for a pittance, he's got too many turkish surgeons to pay off
>>158556861>with a youth squadwell that's part of the problem, you can't expect your best lineup to actually perform well if they don't get the minutes to build chemistry and get experience playing together.
Any chance we can get big FAT sam?
>>158556340>, he doinated shitty in the CLBeating City at home in the groupe stage is all he did
>Def getting relegated if we appoint that fool.>id rather go managerless than have Poch anywhere near our club.>Poch is a Muppet.>Poch as his replacement is so uninspiring. Hope we put in some clauses that make replacing him in the summer easy.>Have I not suffered enough, fecking Pochettino>Do not want Poch, not the right manager for us at all.>Poch is only one of a few managers that I wouldn't even take before Carrick.Reminder that these fans cheered Michael Carrick off the pitch with the club in the relegation zone
Poch's a fraud
>>158562830He failed to win Uber Eats Ligue 1 with Mbappe and Neymar in the team
>>158562858Michael Carrick failed to be promoted from the Championship and keep Man United out of the relegation zone but I suppose Pochettino didn't play under Fergie
>>158562865Who cares about Carrick? We always knew he was garbage. Poch has a better reputation but that doesnt mean he isnt fraudulent
Arne Slot would've unironically been a better choice You'll get the same counter-attacking shit with Puck
In many ways united and poch have always fancied each other. Going back years. Every time he's moved, united have had a look. Never quite happened for one reason or another. When he moved to spurs, united moved for van gaal. When had went to PSG, it was the tail end of Mourinho / start of Solskjaers interim. Ten Hag when Poch went to Chelsea. It could be a good fit. Poch likes clubs where he can settle in, he's been itching to come back to the premiership. United tend to give managers a fair crack, they let the shit hit the fan, then give it a few more months. The fans tend to stick with managers to the bitter end. He'll probably have negotiated his contract to wrestle a bit more control back from wilcox and berrada. Then he hasnt got a lot to lose has he really, the only way is quite literally up surely, they're in the relegation zone. The the squad is lacking. Injuries are a problem. When teams are low on confidence and shit, its not unusual for players to mysteriously pick up injuries, in this united side anyway. But they've got enough to get back up the table, and they look completely uncoached. What even is their tactics or style of play, there is no chemistry, no patterns of play, nothing fuck all, they just play on instinct. So if he can establish tactical discipline, develop patterns of play, resemble some sort of real football team, beside a shit result here and there, he'll be fine. The key is what they do in the summer, and how he avoids falling victim to 2nd season syndrome that has ruined every manager before him pretty much. If this fails. I really don't know where the glazers and ineos go from here. Its time to go
it's time for soufgate
>>158562940No to bald fraud
>>158562948>avoids falling victim to 2nd season syndrome that has ruined every manager before him pretty muchUnited 2nd season syndrome happened again and again because the board got complacent and stopped giving the managers the players they needed. No doubt it will happen to Poch too, especially with Wilcox's 'this window we'll buy forwards only, next window midfielders' transfer strategy
have united ever had a decent argentinian? im sure theres some bench player somewhere who was ok but off the top of my headveron-giga flop bald fraud that started it allrojo-red card addictdi maria-good player but said manchester was a 3rd world crime ridden shithole and his wife said everyone from manchester was an ugly mongheinze-refused to play because he wanted to go to liverpoogarnacho-retard who thought he was pele then went around town wearing other teams kits that he wanted to play for while a united playermartinez-insane midget who cut a shoot promo on the clubtevez-went to city then held up a tombstone with fergie on ithonestly poch is inheriting a proud lineage of argies at utd
>>158563079Yep I'm expecting more of the same.But from poch's perspective alone, he can’t enter this like every other manager has. Comes in mid season, results pick up, the good vibes are back, this squad is brilliant, they’re all good lads, they all care. They’re shit houses. This squad of players will fuck him over. This ownership will let him down. So he has think, its coming, not a case of if. It is coming. They will fuck him over. So what steps can he take to prevent that, whats he going to do, when it arrives. Not only how does he get results now and start moving up the table, but whats he going to do when the ownership piss him about and the squad lets him down. Certain people defend the owners based on money spent and trophies won since Fergie retired, in comparison to other clubs. They could have spent more, could have spent it better, could have won more. The owners have to go. This is manchester united we're talking about, not some tin pot club. The owners have rendered it a tin pot club.
>>158562895Replacing a terrible manager with a better manager is a positive step thoughbeit
Such a lukewarm appointment. /mug/ lives on.
>>158556681>United fans seem like the absolute dumbest goyim alivethats why theyre owned by the smartest jews
>luke shaw kills anotherVan Gaal, mourinho, Solskjaer, Ragnick, ten Haag, Amorim, Carrick, new manager. and that excludes interims of fletcher and van Nistelrooy etc
Poch is absolutely the right guy, he's just what Man U needs, I expect>2nd/3rd by Christmas>Playoff round in the champs league but they get through that easily, SF/Final finish>FA Cup winDon't forget we were 3rd last season, we are probably the second best team in the PL currently pound for pound
>>158556348Fat bastard
>>158562948He will start demanding more in training, players will eventually get frustrated with having to work hard, start drawing and losing games, united legends will attack Poch, he gets sacked. Nothing changes.Or do you really believe this time, united will actually get rid by any means necessary of Rashford, Dalot, Maguire, Bruno, Shaw sp on and so forth and start from scratch?
>>158556328>pochanother shit manager with no ballsshould be him
>>158563658united have enough bloodsuckers involved already
>>158556363>>158556340>unlucky>unlucky>unlucky>unlucky At some point it stops being luck and is just poor coaching
>>158556328Another fraud, why not try a good coach
>Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick's future will be decided at a meeting attended by owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and executives Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox in Monaco on Wednesdaylol
>>158563658>should be himI don't see anything
>>158556949the lads
Pochettino hasn't done anything worthwhile since Southampton
>>158563431Pochettino used to stop Luke Shaw from eating at Southampton
>>158556908You're crazy if you think United are going to suddenly be good. Their defense spreads its ass at leasf twice a game. While there might be a short term bounce, I could just as easily see things getting worse as all the senior players completely give up.
Someone post the manure manager cycle that goesmuh philosophy -> tactical disciplinarian -> former club player yes man -> repeat
>Man Utd chiefs Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox head to Monaco today ahead of pre-planned talks with owners. Recommendation on Michael Carrick’s future expected but confirmation unlikely before Thurs. Providing Carrick extra coaching support also on agenda.Not so fast, /mug/gers
>[The Athletic] The buyout clause in U.S. men’s national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino’s contract is in the ballpark of $10 million, sources briefed on the situation tell The Athletic. To also buy out Pochettino’s assistant coaches, United would have to pay millions more dollars, sources added.
>>158563989They spent £50m on Andrey Santos
>>158563989How much has been spent on buyout clauses and premature termination compensations involving managers by this club since 2013?
>>1585639892018-2019: Chose Ole instead of Pochettino2022: He was free and signed ETH instead2024: He was free and United stick with ETH and fired him afterwards.It’s like 8-10 years late to hire him, isn’t it? Always wanted him but never signed when he was free and now we’re ok to pay £10+million?
>>158563995Yeah, I wonder if the money it will cost to sack Carrick and all his coaches, and hire Pochettino and all his coaches, could have paid for a left back. It's got to be costing in the region of £25m to make this change. 25 here, 15 for ten hag, 10 for Ashworth. Enough for one Santos lol
>>15856398910 million is around what we "saved" by ineos sacking all those regular workers which was deemed vital while blowing similar amounts repeatedly on failed ineos managers and executives
>>158564040Billionaire mindset at work
Yeah hire more tea ladies that'll win the league
>>158556328As a white Mexican man I find this extremely concerning. The US team might go from number 4 team in the region to number 2.
Now we'll have the infamous ineos "process" of box ticking and multiple rounds of interviews to "identify the outstanding candidate", which will all be for nothing anyway, because he'll be another manager sacked in 2 years.
>>158564203Yeah they should just keep one manager forever like all the other teams
>>158563989Bro if I was Ratlip I'm not spending 10m on Poch. Nagelsmann is free
>>158564203>2 yearsoptimistic i see
So we are going for a guy who prefers playing attacking fullbacks and a high line. It would be some sight watching Shaw, De Ligt, Maguire and Martinez shit their pants trying to play a high line
>>158563049Might as well just poach Vincent Kompany lol. Then we can have former City men at CEO, DOF, Manager.
>>158564209You're attempt at sarcasm didnt come off. The process of appointing the manager, was the overriding point. Or here is an idea, maybe get one right, considering the past 6 have all failed. >>158564280Well. A year and half. It will be good vibes for the rest of this season, as long as he doesnt ruffle too many feathers. Next season, is when they'll throw him under the bus
>>158564297Who's the right one then given you can apparently see the future?
>>158564209
>>158564307Is there a right one, considering who's above them? Arguably not. My stance is the glazers, ineos and footballing executives have got to go. Ineos bought a stake in the club and took over footballing operations. They have no proven track record of success in sport, none. Manchester United werent the first football club they invested in, and still got it wrong. They've got every major decision wrong. You can make a case for loads of managers, based on their own strengths and weaknesses, but whats the point, they'll all be up against it
>>158563509>Or do you really believe this time, united will actually get rid by any means necessary of Rashford, Dalot, Maguire, Bruno, Shaw sp on and so forth and start from scratch?These players have all been there so fucking long, surely their contracts are coming up and they can be let go? Surely, unless ManU are giga-retarded and re-sign these players, they will have left the club by default in a couple of years?
>>158556489real ball knowers know that BJ Callaghan is the right answer
>>158564531Fuck off
>>158564531i'm fine with him or dolo. manure bailing us out of an underwhelming, stale cycle while paying us a nice $10m tip
>>158564532you can't possibly expect Nashville to hold on to him after they broke the points recordif it's not the USMNT, it'll be some bum-ass french or championship club that snaps him upbesides, wouldn't you rather have him win for your country instead of your club? ;)
i think youve got to judge poch on his chelsea tenurespurs was a decade agopsg he lasted 1 year but they have high standardsinternational management is a different ballgameso here he is compared to other chelsea managers in win percentageCOACH W%Avram Grant 0.688Antonio Conte 0.671José Mourinho 0.664Carlo Ancelotti 0.632Rafael Benítez 0.577Felipe Scolari 0.56Thomas Tuchel 0.556Maurizio Sarri 0.553Guus Hiddink 0.529Roberto Di Matteo 0.522Claudio Ranieri 0.521Xabi Alonso 0.5Enzo Maresca 0.491André Villas-Boas 0.481Gianluca Vialli 0.479Ruud Gullit 0.476Mauricio Pochettino 0.474Frank Lampard 0.439Liam Rosenior 0.385got to bear in mind some of these newer ones had free wins due to being in the conference league though
>>158564546First of all that record has been broken like 7 times in 10 yearsDoesn't mean anythingSecondly, I don't want to hear the bitching about getting a MLS guy againI don't think anyone wants to see Nashville's tactics with the NTAfter the free flowing attacks we just saw at the WC
usa should steal marsch from canada, hes got them as the best team in concacaf.you know he would do it, and it would cause a melty
>expected>literally all the grifters like Brent were going on about 'sacking Carrick' last night at 23:00>still not sacked>only articles are 'expected decision by Wednesday'lol. lmao.
>>158564580>>158564546what are the chances that two people are responding to one another with strange line breaks like some sort of gay poem
>>158564584>hes got them as the best team in concacaf.
>United is for saleWow. LOL.
[Ducker] Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada to keep jobs despite Man Utd chaos
>>158564584Trve! From turning yanited states to a world beater to turning Manchester yanited into the undisputed English and European champions
>>158564568
United should only keep Carrick if they think nobody else can lead united to 1 win in 10 games
It's absolute chaos jesus christ.

If they go ahead, worth knowing what it's cost before. United's own results releases show the exceptional charge booked each time a permanent manager left:Moyes £5.2m, Van Gaal £8.4m, Mourinho £19.6m, Solskjaer £10.0m, Ten Hag £14.5m, Amorim £16.7m (plus a £5.2m write-off of hiring costs). £74.4m across six managers! The results aren't great but more money not being spent on the players
>>158566765If /are Jim/ is signing the players then there's an issue right there.

Gary Neville on Sky Sports:>Carrick pleased the home supporters with many passages of play from the performance, just like my wife is pleased with the teenage boy who spent the night with my wife last Wednesday. The problem here is that Carrick seems to think it's acceptable to concede 4 goals at Old Trafford.>While there is much to work on, Carrick needs to reduce the amount of goals being conceded. Why should United concede as much on 14:00 before my wife spent her massage time on that same day??>Ultimately, this club is spending too much. Just like the amount I'm spending on an extension so that we can have an extra bedroom, I don't see why we need an extra bedroom.>Pochettino needs to fix all this.
