There is some talk of Tuchel becoming the next England manager.
He wouldn't have been my first choice to replace Erik. But he would have been a clear upgrade and he's already shown at Chelsea that he can take over a club mid-season and turn their season around guiding them to top 4 (they were sitting 9th in the league when Lampard got sacked) and winning the Champions League.

What a time to be alive when the England job is more attractive then the Manchester United job |

From what Benni McCarthy is saying, these players just don’t show up to matches.
Train like champions, turn up like chumps.
If that is correct then that’s a problem for any manager and not trying to be funny but I can see the appeal in Southgate

I think we just have a lot of players who may have some natural talent and physical attributes but aren't particularly intelligent and therefore much of what Erik is saying and trying to do just goes completely over their heads or just confuses them and then they forget to even do the basics half the time.
We probably would do a lot better with a manager who keeps things simple and is good at man management.
Ralf was also reputed to be a tactical genius and completely failed to get through the players.

It is a pretty cushy job and he doesn't have anything left to prove really in club football. He reportedly ideally wants to manage again in the Premier League. But the only potential opening in a big club is the Manchester United job and he apparently has major reservations (as would anyone sane). We laugh at England but they have a lot of talent in their squad and it would be interesting to see if an elite manager could take them one step further and win something. If Tuchel can manage that he won't have any shortage of interest from big clubs.
Of course if he accepts the job then it does rule out the most qualified potential realistic candidate for the United job.
Terzic is being mentioned quite a bit lately. I think that could be a good choice. Perhaps a bit short of managerial experience as he's mostly been an assistant manager. But he almost won the Bundesliga in his first season and in his second season reached the Champions League final beating some big teams along the way. And unlike some of the Italian coaches mentioned and Amorim he likes to play with a back 4. Plus he is immediately available and speaks good English. And would presumably be happy to work under a structure (which a lot of bigger name managers probably wouldn't).
And it looks as though Erik's job is still on the line with the various decision makers undecided at this point whether to keep him or not. But with the injuries piling up I can see another losing streak on the horizon and if we fall any lower in the table INEOS will be forced to act.

Media are now talking about a four game deadline. It is probably made up. But it at least sounds reasonably sensible and takes us to end of the month. It isn't as if our next 4 games are challenging. Brentford and West Ham are midtable clubs, Leicester are below us in the table and Fenerbahce are 4th in the Turkish league. So we should be winning the majority of those games.

You know the situation is bad when Tuchel would rather manage England than us.

Good for England if they get Tuchel, about time they got someone who can utilize all those talents and actually win something.

I’d be amazed if ETH is still in a job by Xmas, this is just like when they held onto Ole after the 5-0 only to sack him a few weeks later.
These buffoons will probably approach Lee Carsley as a replacement.

With Tuchel out , only manager left with any sort of big club experience is Allegri. He will be better than the likes of Eddie Howe/Potter for sure.
Another interesting appointment will be Xavi , he did manage to win the Laliga with a messed up Barca.He will also be able to develop the likes of Mainoo i guess.
If we wait till season end we may get a shot at Xabi Alonso or maybe Ancelloti (Real will fire him if they dont win the laliga and CL with Mbappe).
