I can see Brentford manager Thomas Frank going there . Would be a good appointment

Eddie Howe?

I don’t think that will happen as Newcastle are already angry with United about headhunting Dan Ashcroft , their Sporting Director in the summer . 

Sounds like they want Amorim but he's reluctant to leave mid season

Xavi being mentioned

The biggest issue with him is he doesn’t speak English . 

Appleton can be upgraded, he's on the books.

Can't believe Ten Hag is gone. He was doing a great job and should have been given more time 

Beating Man City in the FA cup final helped him keep his job initially and apparently Ten hag took 1 more point than Ferguson did in the same amount of games.

Man United were a Global football team even before social media and they need to be a top 4 team and contenders. 

Tough gig but well paid Job for the next incumbent.

RVN will put himself in the shop window for a decent managers job even though unlikely to be United as every loss is a "disaster" as Ex United players go on about ad nauseam on various TV and social media platforms.

Burton isn't an attractive job for an established manager. They're main success has generally been with young managers 

Burton is an absolute car crash. Taken over by a Swedish concern in the summer, they appointed one of their directors as 'Sporting Director' who proceeded to 'headhunt' Mark Robinson as head coach (who had an astonishing 20 League One games without a win at AFC Wimbledon in 2021-22 before they sacked him). They then signed a British record 23 new players based on statistical data, very few of whom had any League One experience. The rumour is that the Sporting Director sources and signs the players with no input from the coach: Robinson appeared to confirm that a few weeks before the transfer window closed when he said he had no idea what was happening with the squad or whether any more players were being signed. 

Is it any wonder Robinson extended his winless League One run to 31 games before the bullet came his way?

Who exactly do Burton think they are going to get? How many head coaches would be willing to work under those conditions, if the rumours are true?

The two leading candidates appear to be former Lincoln & Swindon disaster Mark Kennedy and some bloke from a club in Iceland. Presumably the supermarket chain, not the country.

Further developments at Burton: Sporting Director Bendik Hareide (son of Iceland manager Age, incidentally) has stepped down for an indefinite period due to family circumstances. He is being replaced by Icelander Olafur Pall Snorrason, who had two spells with Bolton as a player at the turn of the century without making an appearance and had one season managing an Icelandic second division side in 2018. Some strange thinking there. Can't wait to see who gets the manager's job there.

🚨HERE WE GO! Burton United are pleased to announce Olafur Pall Snorrason as their new manager on a 7 year deal.

Mark Robins sacked by Coventry. Not doing amazingly this year but you’d think he has credit in the bank.

A manager is always 3 games away from getting their P45

Utter madness.  I can only guess something happened in the background that we aren’t privy to like he was sniffing around for a job and CCFC got wind of it.

if not then it’s absolute lunacy from them
