I suppose it is Poch, Conte or Zidane for Man United next.

I don't see Poch going there. I personally see Poch going to Real in the future. Conte is interesting but Zidane is maybe the most obvious candidate. 

I personally don't know how to judge Zidane as a manager. He won 3 ucl but their performance in the league is quite poor, and I always think the league is the better representation of your team

Don't see Poch swapping Spurs for United.

I hope it is Conte or Zidane. Not too worried by either. Even Giggs or Carrick would be cool

Third straight big club where his antagonistic ways has blown up in his face. Long gone are the days where you can manage the way Mou does. Unless he realizes this and stops creating a toxic atmosphere everywhere he goes he'll never reach the highest highs again.

As he did before he got the a United job, I'm positive he'll convince some club to take a punt on him soon enough. One of the Milan clubs I would guess.

United will surely make a huge effort to steal away Poch I'd assume. They cannot afford to take a risk after 3 straight failed managers have been sacked. Pochettino is the safest, best manager they could get. They'll offer him a salary he can't refuse (probably Guardiola type money) and a huge war chest in the summer.

Lets us now hope that 1) they continue to be shite this season because it's hilarious and 2) Poch turns them down and they're forced to scramble around and panic.

All this talk about Pochettino but United still have to get through Daniel Levy first. And Pochettino signed a new five-year contract back in May...

[Warning_Hazard 156]

be shocked if utd took him

they want a type they can push about and doesn't demand 500m

They should just give their new stadium as well and close the club then.

[Fernando 6,448]

I think they will appoint Zidane in the summer. Going to be interesting to see how it goes.

Very true. It'll be extremely difficult. But United will be desperate enough to offer whatever it takes. Say they offer him triple his current salary and he goes to Levy and asks to leave. Poch and Levy seem very close so I'm not sure he'd refuse his wishes.

Would definitely be funny if Poch turns them down, though. Then they'll probably have to turn to Zidane who I think would fail. Or scramble around with the names we were linked with prior to appointing Sarri like Blanc.

Nah, spurs will want 300 m for kane plus another 100 for Poch, not going to happen

If Pochettino didn't jump ship to Real earlier this year, he won't jump easily to United.

It would've been the worst possible time to leave for RM last summer as we can now see looking at them. Best player left, most of their best players aging, etc. They're a huge mess. 

Think those two will be battling it out for him in the summer.

Conte with their unlimited funds will be dangerous. I think Mourinho will have one more stint at Real.
