I'm sure he can. But for £2m a year?! For the past 10 years. Not for me.

I’ll put that down to his fiery temperament!
I agree United are where they are because of Fergie. But equally they need to move on from him. And he has more than earned his retirement.
I hope he enjoys it.

Good luck to him, I wonder if it’s an immediate start or after the next 2 games?

WOWNo thanks to Howe or Potter, nice guys, but their only qualification for England Manager is that they are English! Even Dyche has a better managerial record than Potter and possibly Howe, but I don’t want him either.
Ignore Nationality and give it to the best man for the job, sadly with some of the better ones unavailable I’d go for Tuchel.
I’d even have Roy Keane before the three English ones above.
Love Keane as a pundit,but seriously WOW

I’d take anything the media says with a pinch of salt.
Just because you want to believe it,doesn’t make it true.
Old man retires doesn’t have the same effect I suppose

Very diplomatically put. No doubt had they continued to pay him £2million a year, people would be screaming they should get him off the pay roll and keep more of the everyday workers at the club who are being let go.
Nowhere did I see it say he was sacked. Either:
- The club fee it is a role that no longer needs to be done. It is their right to restructure.
- The club feel it is not appropriate to ask an elderly man to commit to all the duties they expect from a highly paid ambassador.
- Sir Alex himself doesn't want to commit to all the responsibilities he had in that role
Or a bit of all the above, thus they amicably reached the decision. Sir Alex will not be going hungry with the loss in income. He'll be welcome with open arms around the club anytime he wants to watch games or have a chat. Not like he has been banished.
So, what's the problem people are seeing here?

There is a history of German managers helping underdeveloped football nations. Schäfer in Ghana, Sidkar in Qatar, … were the early ones. Vogts in Scotland & Kliensmann in the USA might be the ones known here. Now we got to level up England ;-)
Honestly, I think some English manager must be good enough. You don’t need to teach the players how to stop a ball or to head one, it’s just some tactics and a lot of motivation.
A great football nation like England should have plenty of people that are good at it (not the thousands in the stands who think they are, btw)

I was reading a football site where they were all wailing about Carsley will "obviously get the job as he's a cheap, yes man!"
Well, that's wee'd on their crisps!
Now Sky are pulling out all the stops to interview people who'll day how bad an appointment this is.
Twas ever thus.

Gutted about the Tuchel news. A horrible, creepy man who makes my skin crawl. Very overrated for a manager who's won only one notable trophy with a team he inherited. Very disappointing.

Plus...he's German?!
Our neighbour is German. Puts his German shirt on when he's going out somewhere nice with his wife. He will be preaching about footie managers now along with VW, Mercedes, Bosch, Karcher etc etc!

This stat is complete waffle, of course he got the best ratio against exclusively Bundesliga opposition playing for Bayern Vs international football or playing for Spurs.
