Agree with this. It should have been proven managers from strong leagues. Until a solid foundation is built.
It has always been unproven young managers in foreign leagues. Or managers out of their prime like Mourinho and Van Gaal who don’t play modern football. Though I still think Mourinho could work at a very defensive club but United isn’t that.
Emery would have been great but he won’t go now. Pochettino in the past they made a mistake going for ten hag instead. Conte, Tuchel could have been got.
And these are all the ones in very sure could have been got, who gave signals. Who knows guys like flick, luis enrique, Nagelsmann, etc might have been able to be persuaded too.
I think the board always went with the fans decision. Who naturally opted for the more exciting though unproven option.
You can always go for an option like Amorim after you’ve had someone else in to clear out the rot and revolutionize the club. You don’t take that risk early on.
