Manchester United

£34m might seem like a huge amount of money but relative to the cost of a player and given how important the right person is I think you pay it. We’d gladly pay that for Klopp on hindsight and Poch is one of the few managers around that I don’t want them to get.

The only consolation is that it weakens Spurs.

That's only if it works out though. If Ponch bombs, that's £34m + whatever settlement fee down the toilet. At least a player remains an asset and can be sold on.

So apparently it is Ole. The spiral continues.

My biggest concern if Poch goes to Utd is them buying Kane.

They've missed a quality striker since van Persie left.

I don't know which is worse in this scenario - they have been plotting Jose's departure for a while and lined up OGS ready and waiting, or that they have hit the panic button and appointed him without proper diligence.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: Man Utd appear to confirm Norwegian as interim manager in website post

I'm sure they'll get a little uptick in their performances but nothing lasting.

They're firmly midtable this season and it's bloody glorious to behold

I hope they get sucked into the relegation scrap

True but his history with Spurs suggests success - every one of us could have told you the chosen one, LVG and 3 season José would end in tears.

Haha ****ing dickheads, I'd piss myself if he has a shocker of results and gets them relegated.

The two times we sacked our manager during a campaign, we brought in club legend, Premier League winning manager Kenny Dalglish, and then double Bundesliga winning manager Jurgen Klopp.

Man Utd sacked Moyes and Mourinho during a season, and managed to install Giggs, and now Solskjaer.

They are proper ****.

That's actually true, and I think most of have pointed that out one time or another when they were making those appointments, but Poch is a different matter though, he could even bring Kane over or Eriksen. Hope he ****s off to Real.

Ole Gunnar confirmed, interesting.

Solskjaer until the end of the season - this is a the guy that was sacked by Swansea...

[RedReet]

Would be a result if Utd can unsettle Spurs as well over the next six or seven months.

I'm not entirely sure Ponch is that interested. I think he'll use this opportunity as leverage to get more money out of Levy.

Aye, I don't disagree, I think it would be money well spent.
