how the fuck are we turning the appointment of a caretaker/interim manager into a fucking saga.
edit – also the fact RvN is even in contention after seeing just how terrible he was at Leicester is crazy. What are these INEOS clowns doing man? like they have some new rule that the interim the manager *has* to have played for the club.
Like just appoint OGS, have fletcher be his assistant. Done. Stop fucking around and move on to the actual important appointment of who the perm manager is going to be.
**From the article:**
* **Manchester United are hoping to have clarity on who will lead the team for the rest of the season early next week, sources have told ESPN**
* United have had conversations with a number of candidates including former players Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Michael Carrick and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
* Solskjaer is set to have a face-to-face meeting with CEO Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox on Saturday.
* A meeting with Carrick has already taken place.
* **Sources have told ESPN that Van Nistelrooy**, who was interim for four games last season, **remains in contention, although sources close to the Dutchman have said he believes he’s lower down the list of options.**
* **Fletcher, according to United sources, has impressed the leadership team** after stepping into the role following Amorim’s sacking.
* **According to sources, one of the issues around potentially appointing Solskjaer until the end of the season is the make-up of his backroom staff.**
* **In the job between December 2018 and November 2021, he took on the role as manager rather than coach and was supported on the training ground by Carrick, Mike Phelan and Kieran McKenna.**
Why are they even wearing make up??
fucking INEOS man, this setup overreaches too much
We are the only club in history to do job interview for an interim manager mid season. Damn clowns running the show
At this point just stick with Fletcher.
Fukcing Drama queens
Why is this club legitimately like this? Just get it over with.

The make-up of the ownership staff is already settled.
Did we lose Mike Phelan’s number or something?
Why not drag it to Feb 1st.
Anyone else and it’s a quick change
Leave it to United to drag out a fucking interim like its a head coach search. This club is a joke
Funny how much the opinion on INEOS has changed
Just leave it, just stick to Fletcher and then sign Conte in the summer. Fletcher’s cross to Sesko tactic seems to be working, it’s just the defenders acting like it’s a preseason friendly which is the problem.
Gotta somehow shift the focus away from the transfer window and by delaying this with interviews and other shit you fool a lot of fans unfortunately. Standard united shit.
“Fletcher has impressed the board”
The guy must have the charisma of Jesus Christ himself. I’ve been hearing this by the media repeatedly ever since he joined United as a U-16 coach and started speedrunning through promotions after promotions. Can’t really see what he’s been doing in each of those different roles except that the board leaks “Fletcher so impressive” whenever they promote him.
How is this a better option that buying Amorim a £30m midfielder and getting to the end of the season?
If I remember correctly Ole lost the dressing room and few players are still there. How do they patch up? by shaking hands?
glad this is what were spending jan doing
If I didn’t find this club so funny I’d be depressed as fuck
The biggest club in the land is running on “hopes” and “vibes”
Get Ole. Ian Brown. The cast of Trainspotting. Lara Croft.
With that managerial set up we win the league.
Why don’t they hire all of them and they can use their combined expertise to make the team better? … except egos always get in the way.
How about we appoint someone not those 3?
And how about we try and hire someone that does actual training on the training ground. Sheeshhhhh
Why does anybody even care at this point. The season is a write off and whoever takes over permanently is doomed to fail anyway.
Whens the news on the midfielder? Still need one.
im in neither side, at this rate, just ask/ hire those pundits/podcasters that you’ve been listening to!
/s if not obvious
For fuck’s sake Chelsea got done with Liam Rosenoir’s appointment in a week max and this fucking club cannot decide on an interim…how the fuck have we turned this “who’s gonna be the interim” decision into a fucking saga?
I hope Klopp’s mind is fucked up too from drinking too much RedBull and he chooses us. Our squad is not suitable with 3 atb, not suitable with possession. Bring Klopp or Gasperini so we can show we suck at counter attacking too.
