The current odds for the next Manchester United manager following Ruben Amorim's departure are as follows:
  • Oliver Glasner: 7/2 (early favorite)
  • Gareth Southgate: 5/1
  • Enzo Maresca: 6/1
  • Mauricio Pochettino: 15/2
  • Darren Fletcher: caretaker charge
Is the Glasner hype train still in full flow? Granted they were briefly 4th in the league a few weeks ago, but the league being as it is - 1 point in their last 5 games has seen them drop to 14th. So not exactly exemplary performance. Like how Iraola's name was floating around a little while ago, but now you never hear it since Bournemouth have slipped to 15th. Who will be the next flavour-of-the-month manager? Le Bris or Andrews perhaps?

This ⬆️ 👏👏👏
Everytime a manager has 1 good season they become the “next big thing”

There's a lot to be said for 'the right manager to match the club' rather than managers being objectively good or bad, I think. Potter was the right manager for Brighton, for example. Perhaps Thomas Frank was just the right manager for Brentford, unless he can turn us around. Glasner may just be well suited to Palace at the moment. So often these managers move to other/bigger clubs and it just doesn't work at all.

Maybe United could do worse than to just give it to Darren Fletcher.
 
All led by the media. You can’t blame the manager’s taking these opportunities and the financial benefits it brings, but it’s still the club chiefs decisions in the end.
I don't blame the managers at all, it's money for old rope if they get the bullet.
The problem is the short termism exhibited by most fans and club owners and chiefs,
Right now most non Utd fans are laughing at Utd, and every one of those fans is hoping their club don't do similar.
Give a manager time to show what they can do, and I bet most who get an early bullet would actually do a decent job. However since the world wants instant gratification, what do we expect.
 
He has a decent record both at Frankfurt before and the 18 months at Palace so far
Roy Hodgson won trophies in different countries and took Fulham to a European final, tell us again how he faired at Lpool.

As @Orikoru said above, sometimes it’s about levels.

Lampard may end up being an excellent Championship manager or lower level of PL. etc
