    I just think you need a big name to manage a club with that spending ability and the expectations that brings. Chelsea have tried a raft of managers to develop young players from Lampard to Potter to Pochettino. And look how that’s gone. Look how Moyes, Solksjaer & Ten Hag went. A big name like Tuchel was the last Chelsea manager to win a European trophy, a much bigger achievement than a domestic cup. Just like Mourinho was the last Man Utd manager to win a European trophy. Yes its rumoured City were looking at Amorim, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they would have appointed him. And if he would have been it may have been more like a transitional appointment.

    Yet here are Chelsea, the biggest spenders in history, doing well with a manager who did nothing more than a decent job in the Championship. Tuchel may have done a decent job but is known for falling out with absolutely everyone at every club he’s been at. Ask any Chelsea fan if they’d have Tuchel back now over Maresca. Was Tuchel the only one or who else are you suggesting we should have got Mikus? The names don’t exactly roll off the tongue. Utd don’t have millions and millions to fix this any longer like we’ve had in the past. Utd are cost cutting in every single aspect of the club so there will (as ever at Utd) need to be a big focus on bringing through young players. The wage bill is rapidly declining and now only the 4th highest in the league. https://www.90min.com/posts/the-clubs-biggest-wage-bills-in-europe-ranked

    I’m not suggesting City would have hired him. We’ll never know. But they get little wrong these days and the reports that they were lining him up at least suggests they saw something in him that he could make that step up. As yet, I trust their decision making over my own club’s. Berrada would have had inside knowledge of City’s succession planning.
