That Club World Cup is/was a farce. Better than an Intertoto Certificate but only just.I was just about to post this
Maresca won a European trophy and Club World Cup, not too shabby. I don't see Silva getting a job like Man City.

Be gutted if he went to the mags, massive upgrade on what they have now

there's more than one?
What's the opposite of a greengrocer's apostrophe?
He won’t go to Newcastle, even if Howe got the bullet. Will have better options.
Is he a massive upgrade?
No idea. Looks very much a manager on the up. Next job will tell I guess.
Man United should just tell him to “pick a number and come along to Carrington when you are ready”.
Chelsea, London and (I imagine) a massive salary could be a huge pull though.

NUFC need a better à DoF to avoid future feck ups like Wissa,Elanga, Woltemade.
I hope you don’t get one

I’m sure at least triple the wages will overcome the climate issue

Fair point , my opinion of him is tainted as I have just never taken to him , but maybe it's like when a team has a player you can not stand but would like him in your own line up.
He is undoubtedly a good manager and maybe worth a shout at a club bigger than Fulham.

He mentioned fairly recently that he wouldn’t manage Athletic because he feared damaging the reputation he built as a player (16 years there, nearly 500 games for the B team and then first team).
I also think unlikely he’ll go to RM because of his Basque heritage but you never know. Money talks.
Feels the United job is Carrick’s to lose, so it’s down to Liverpool or City, surely? I think he’s way too clever to risk Chelsea.
Whatever he chooses, he’s a man in demand.

I was not aware of his comments on not managing Athletic etc , but as a player who played 500 plus times for them I get where he is coming from.

His blip at Everton ( which was regarded as a big club at the time ) was disastrous. Some awful players were brought in. Don’t know how much input he had in choosing them mind
But he certainly has Fulham punching well above their weight
Maybe, maybe not.
He's already wealthy, most likely beyond what he could spend in his lifetime.
He may have different things he wants to pursue or might just want to keep his lass happy, crazy I know.
Players particularly, but even coaches, these days have to keep the WAGs onside.

He’s from Guipozkoa. If you know your Spanish climate geography, you will know it makes Manchester look like the Sahara in comparison. That part of Spain is wet, wet, wet…
Total annual rainfall in Ursubil (his hometown): 1425mm
In Manchester: 831mm
Climate won’t be a factor!

Wouldn’t he be better off going to Real Madrid?

Real Madrid, I reckon though I was saying earlier in the season to my Mag mates that I thought he would be ideal as their next manager - likes to play with width and pace, on the break.

As a proud Basque, it’s complicated.
Always surprised me when Man United were going through managers that he was never in contention. Every time they sacked one I said they could do a lot worse than appoint Iraola. I'd take him at Arsenal in a heartbeat.

Especially as you pointed out his desire not to spoil his legacy by managing AB , its fair to say managing RM has even greater jeopardy.
