At the risk of an arbboy impression...

...why would he want to leave Spurs to go to United?

Spurs have almost unparalleled training facilities, one of the best youth set-ups going, are challenging for the title and have a new stadium coming, with a playing system the manager has complete control over and players who trust him implicitly (the rest having been shown what used to be the revolving door).

United...can give him a pay rise?

[POWWWWWWWW]

"The players are bored, fans are bored, everyone's bored. You look across at the bench and Van Gaal looks bored as well." Scholes yesterday on BT Sport
]without changing manager, what are the tactical solutions to this, if ineed they are needed?

Adapting tactics to the opposition would be a start. We play the same formation vs everyone. Playing 2 defensive mids, 2 number 10's and no wingers vs a team that is going to come and put 11 men behind the ball is just asking for what happened on Saturday. The rigidity in formation is killing the team.

I'll start to panic when we appoint Pochettino and sign Delle Ali and Kane for £120m.

It begins.

Biggest brands, certainly.

I could genuinely understand him going to Arsenal if Wenger left (certain Champs League, title contention, money and understanding board) - not that I would want him to - but United has been struggling for a couple of years since the golden era, has players on their last contract, hasn't got a board or fans patient enough to encourage growth and development, has a squad that chucked the manager out not long ago and offers no guarantees of results in the short term.

It's a job he could go for in a few years, no question, but I don't see the appeal, apart from a CV point. That worked out well for Moyes, didn't it?

Would it not be appealing also now 2 managers have "failed". United are still bringing a lot of youth through the system, BJ/Jesse two prime examples of this at the moment.

They got rid of nearly an entire squad of older players and replaced them with much younger, spending £89m on players under 21. I think the rebuilding process is entirely centered around growth and development and obv not scared to give the youngsters a chance. I'd say a blank cheque book and a young squad in need of molding would be a managers wet dream.

[Tal]

I'm not saying United won't come back. Poch's stock could get even higher if he stays at Spurs and Spurs look to be on the up.

At the end of the day, if he wants to go, he'll go. He left Southampton to come to Spurs. I just see the job as being far riskier right now than what he has.

is that something, at the right price, that you would support?

If the price is right, they'd be silly not to.

Only going to regress.

Would be worth it to see Coleen's face when Wayne tells her where his new job is.
