Doubt it. They can probably go on an FA cup run though. That’s where the teams competing on multiple fronts often have to go with weakened / tired sides. Top 10 would be a major finish for them this season let alone finishing in conference league spot.

Maybe Steve Barnes would be a better option?

Away to Brentford next.
They should win that

I would like to apologise to all fellow reds for the above post. I had zero intention of cutting short this phase of the ongoing amusement that United currently bring.

Can anyone confirm that if they sack Amorim now his compensation package is £12m. However, that drops to £4m on 1st November.
It will be Glasner.
Southgate it is then.

Wouldn’t be a caretaker though he’s going want some assurance
And if it is Glasner or Southgate Nikola will follow it up with how they are back and so on.
Problem is they are shockingly run at this moment, they have money for players because they have no desire to spend it on the infrastructure or staff of the club.
They want the government to build them a stadium because Sir Jim decided to stop funding the Tories a week before the election.

Don’t see Glasner leaving. He’s got his team having a chance of qualifying for the Europa this season (whether it’s with league performance or through ECL).
His CV will look much better with better run clubs in the reckoning for him after this season ends. We’re looking at clubs who are a permanent fixture in CL. Even Serie A clubs for that matter.
Same with Iraola. There’s no logical reason as to why he should make the shift from Bournemouth to United.

They could just renovate Old Trafford. That would be cheaper than them having to build a new stadium. Even not looking into the entitlement for that one.

I’m here to ease my pain from the Palace defeat. Carry on.
Iraola would probably have more of an incentive to leave mid season but with Glasner is it more how the clubs are run than how good the manager is?
Remember Richard Hughes put a lot of that in place at Bournemouth. Could even make the case on Arne Slot. Of course you can’t put any old loser in but Man Utd are a basket case currently.
Graham Potter was the bees knees now he looks championship bound.
Iraola will be a wanted commodity by City, Chelsea and Arsenal. That’s three teams who would need a top class coach in the near future. Glasner could easily turn up at Napoli or Inter and lead them to the title.
Not to mention Atletico Madrid who will have to move on from Simeone at some point.
Let’s see…
I think that is true to some extent but I have to think both Glasner and Iraola are smarter and more flexible than what we have seen from Amorim, so should be able to get more from Utd’s current squad than he has.
The fact they also didnt jump ship at the first opportunity suggests they are confident enough to back themselves.
Both of their contracts end the next summer, though. If they continue having success with their current clubs, I assume that both will be able to pick their next club from the pool of the wealthiest ones. Man United still generate obscene amounts of money, so, like you said, a coach who is not as rigid as Amorim would be able to make the most out of that.
The great Man Utd comeback has arrived….
Again

I’ll tell you what will happen.
They won’t sack Amorim until the latest possible time, this may include a review of the situation that leads to keeping him.
They will appoint the next big thing, one thing I quite liked about what Spurs did was appoint Frank after what seemed an age of him being at Brentford. Managers in a hurry concern me.
He will be rigid in style or demand too much of the board or something else and it will be back to the same boom and bust. The problem with the set up seems to be that some people wield power and they aren’t that good. Their spending this summer looks rather poor on reflection. They brought in ready made versions of players they had and perhaps even they had reached their peak. And the main cog in the middle looks like a poor Beneteke.
They might suddenly fall on the ideal solution but I’ll need more than just feelers for another recruitment before I proclaim they are back.
Let’s face it, what is Sesko doing that Hojluund didn’t?
