Nah mate. You're behind the times. Matt Doherty has been approached to be Head Coach and Captain (in old parlance: Player Manager) on a five year contract in a new labour and cost cutting procedure.

Not happy with his missus?
I've often wondered how someone like Ten Haag would do in a struggling club with far fewer resources than what he would previously been used to .
I actually think he might do quite well in fact . His record prior to United wasn't bad at all with a few different clubs and tighter budgets than United .
Sometimes having a much smaller and less talented squad can help you as a coach rather than hinder you , as you aren't spending half your time trying to figure out which player to play in which position , trying to manage big egos , trying to keep everyone happy .
You know what you have and you must work with it - there will be far less tinkering with the team as you don't have the resources to do that .

On Robbie Keane - I can well believe that he has applied for the job . He is well known to be desperate to return back to this part of the world . He couldn't pick up a managerial gig initially and ended up in Israel , having previously worked as an assistant manager in various roles . He is now in Hungary .
He is doing quite well , but he knows full well that he need English League experience at a managerial level to really test himself and make a name for himself .

Didn't he go a bit toxic/bonkers at Leverkusen very quickly though? Maybe Utd broke him
It did , but he was there for only a few games . A lot of his issues seemed to be off field with playing and non playing staff . Maybe he just needed a longer break away from the game .

I can imagine part of the issue for Ten Haag was that he was relacing a very popular manager at Leverkusen. That's generally quite unusual and definitely not the case here. Whoever comes in will get the "not Vitor Pereira" bounce with the squad I think.
But........ I don't think there's any chance at all that Ten Haag is coming here

It does not read well for sure , but I think Ashford has a good point . He was replacing a man who had won them their first ever League title . Alonso was a God to them - a very hard act to follow no matter what you did .
Ten Haag too always has that sullen appearance - doesn't tend to smile a lot , Alonso on the other hand always looked happy .

If O'Neill couldn't do it with the players that he had, why the fuck, does anyone think he can do it with this badly construed bunch?

I know it would be tough, but what a statement it would be if at GON's first home game, no one turned up.
The stadium was practically empty. Wow!

Mate, I’ve got some bad news for you about the Titanic. You might want to sit down.

Well looks like he is not coming. I just want a manager everyone gets behind.
