An interesting choice. A complete outsider (unusual for AFC) but also someone unproven at firefighting, as they need a short term fix, whether it's someone to motivate the players or someone to bollock them to perform better!
AFC Wimbledon are going down and I think we beat them next week. They are proof that majority fan-owned clubs cannot compete at the highest end because they can't lose money the way rich clubs can and will always be outbid for good players. In the end they will have to accept an outside owner. Guessing within 2-3 years max. I know people love to romance their fan base but to vary a quote by Harry Callahan in Magnum Force... "A fan base has got to know their limitations."
Crewe Alexandra have parted company with manager David Artell following their relegation from League One. Artell's former assistant Alex Morris has been named as interim first-team manager, with under-23s boss Lee Bell working alongside him. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61070258

It's really hard to say whether he should have done better this season, when their squad is so weak now
Neil Warnock has announced his retirement. A few existing under pressure managers will be relieved!
I know he can be an moaner at times but a good manager.
Also when you listen to him in interviews, radio shows etc, these days he actually comes across as quite a nice bloke. Just a guy who is clearly passionate about the team he's managing and sometimes gets carried away.
What do we make of Ten Hag as the next Man Utd Manager.
Looks like its going to happen
Feel their problems go beyond the Manager - A bit like here at Charlton, but based on what he's achieved with Ajax, think he could be the sort of appointment they need.

A lot of Ajax's success is down to the club ethos though, and the players they bring through. Can he cope with the big egos at Man U?
Why do we as addicks really care about Manchester bloody United !
Yeah why discuss Managerial comings and goings on a thread thats dedicated to just that
My most successful thread, 154 pages and counting
Sorry Killer its going to come to an end, going forward I'm going to create a separate thread for each Appointment / Sacking / Even the rumours that dont come true

What is success for Man United these days? if the aim is to win the premier league good luck with that because they are miles away from Man City. Not sure what difference he will make for them.

If he's allowed control over who comes and goes, and is actually given time then it could work.
They need a serious overhaul which is going to take time, probably at least a couple of years. I'd say they need to ship out at least 10 players who either don't want to be there (Pogba, Martial) or are dead wood (Matic, Jones, Bailly etc) and probably sign 3-4 top class players who can go straight into the team and fit the way he wants to play. Especially i think they need to sign better full backs and midfielders. Maybe he can get van de Beek playing well in his system.
Be interesting to see how he gets on as doing well at Ajax with by far the biggest budget in what is essentially a 2 team league is a lot different to competing with world class managers like Klopp, Guardiola, Tuchel and Conte who've been there and done it. He does however appear to have been a success at all the clubs he's managed.
PL is a two team league as City and Liverpool divide up the trophies this year.
Currently yes but i feel like Ajax would do well with whoever they put in charge. Frank de Boer won 4 consecutive titles with them and look how he did elsewhere.
The PL is a different beast to other leagues, Guardiola took a season to settle in at City. Liverpool crumbled last season when van Dijk was injured. I'm not sure they'd be competing for the title if Klopp left. Huge clubs like Arsenal and Man u have struggled for years. It's not going to be easy for Ten Hag at all, but i bet whoever takes control of Ajax next year will still have them competing for the title.

Just looking at their full backs, Wan-Bissaka cost £45m and must be England's 6th choice RB...

Very experienced as a coach but not as a manager.
Wish him luck after we've played them, was a good servant to the club as a player.
Good appointment for Afc.
