Going watch the women’s team and see if they are better than the men’s.
Perhaps Ten Haag is there to see if there is any players he can bring in?
Radcliffe is probably there to see what he can cut.
Edit: They look as bad as the men.

Ah this is where their spawning has gone.
Edit: Spurs women are also like the men.
Sure but Tuchel wouldn’t last longer than 3 years and would succeed only in bringing in yet more square pegs for his successor. So long as they flit from one idea to another without a coherent strategy they will continue to flounder - Tuchel would just perpetuate this; it’s a young capable manager being backed that we want to avoid.

Even if they fluke themselves into getting a young manager , knowing themselves, they’ll get another guy like ETH.
And because ETH is given the best part of 4 years , the new you won’t nearly get the same time.
Pretty much every bit of commentary/punditry I hear about them contains a variant of the following premise…
‘It’s/we’re/they’re Manchester United.’
It still hasn’t sunk in. They’re still grappling in a lot of ways with the denial phase.
Makes me horny just thinking about it…I reckon they’re a chance of spending some part of this season in the relegation zone.

If they spend even an afternoon in 18-19th, I’m shouting the whole forum some pot noodles.

Fans want a sugar hit of immediate results with a big name. They tried the young supposed capable manager in ETH and they are now screaming. On the other hand they crave another Mourinho for instant results during a quick stint. That’s Tuchel.
Agree though that a young long term manager is ideal but there is more risk. We may have got it right with Slot. Hope they don’t.
Young? He’s only 2 years younger than ancient Jürgen. Tuchel is 3 years younger than him.

OK youngish - change it to inexperienced/rookie in the real big leagues then. But you know what I mean….
Want experience…theres a long list of suitable candidates.

Like I’d love to know what they are trying to find out.
Can’t be tactical information as that’s clearly missing from them.
I had entirely forgotten Fat Sam managed Palace.

Actually I didn’t, but yeah if you mean inexperienced…
I’m not quite sure how they dig themselves out of this, because it seems like they’re still trying to cling on to a “great man” philosophy, instead of building an organisation. But I’m not very clued-up on what goes on with them.
I think our situation works though because the system around the manager is structured well.
This.
We were fortunate with Klopp but also put in place a system that worked with him and delivered what he needed.
Something is clearly amiss at United (understatement) because you can argue that EtH has been given what he thinks he needs, but still isnt delivering.
I think you can point in all directions and find issues.
When a system is so palpably broken, the best course of action is to strip it down and rebuild it from the ground up. Unfortunately, modern football (and society in general) demands instant gratification, especially at the “big” clubs, so taking several years to start afresh and build again simply isn’t an option. This will mean a constant loop of supposed quick fixes which actually make things worse.
As it’s happening to United, it’s hilarious.

Hopefully, United can go on and appoint an Everton failure (not Ancelotti) as their manager.
I dont buy this. They have gone to lengths to build an organization, and are now in their second version of it. The problem is the first version was useless (albeit shortlived…what would have happened had Edwards been judged and kicked out on the basis of his failure to work effectively with Rogers?), and the new INEOS created team havent got off to a great start either.
