Whoever replaces Ole will need some time to sort the team . That place is current a big mess.
The main reason why I'm not that worried about them having a sudden upturn if Poch goes there. The club is broken from the top down, structurally in a far worse state than we were in 2014. It's an absolutely mammoth task and any new manager will be hamstrung by Woodward and those above him regardless.

It would suck on a personal level if Poch goes there, but I don't see them magically getting ten times better.

This is a match which I would be reasonably satisfied no matter what the end result turns out to be.

I just cant believe how piss poor us, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U are this season.
Such poor decision making from the top to the bottom from all these big clubs that we're all struggling to even beat teams with an eighth of the spending power.
Embarrassing for all concerned.
Makes a joke of the whole thing really.
Chelsea v Arsenal last night, I said to wife (probably wasn't listening) 'Football is so shit these days. It used to be the better team out played the other team to get a win. Now its guess which one is gonna make the suicidal fk up first.'
3min later Chelsea were gifted their first goal.
I honestly believe if any of the top teams of 20 years back played any of the top teams of recent times they'd wipe the floor with them.
Makes it a lot harder to score when you dont put it on a plate.
I think the quality is far less spread nowadays amongst the top 6, but more distributed across the whole of the league. Also i think footballers in the early 00s were probably at their peak in terms of technique and footballing brain. Look across europe see how giants have fallen

He'll be there anyway and sadly, he'll establish another dynasty there.
There are so many things the United hierarchy need to fix for any manager to build a new dynasty that it just isn't going to happen.

Long since accepted that Liverpool are winning the league so them beating Wolves is good for us. Bring it on.

There’s some fucking witchcraft going on with Liverpool this year. They can’t miss and everyone misses against them. Going by xg they’re 13 points better off than they should be.
