It's inevitable IMO. Rooney would almost certainly take a significant wage cut for a chance at the top job. When we pay off Cocu and co, money will be extremely tight so that decision makes commercial sense. It's certainly not what I would do, but financially it's the most viable option for the club.

Half our final point total in the first 8 games . Even at that miserable rate we'd have averaged about 23 - 24 points. Deary me☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, we don't learn. As soon as there is a vacancy at Old Trafford higher than tea boy, he'll be off like Frank. Where's the long term plan? We are in transition. We're waiting for promising young players to get better, we are waiting for new and injured players to get fit and we are waiting for the next transfer window to get a striker. So, no matter who is in charge it ain't going to be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollycutts1982 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 For me we just don’t look like scoring. We aren’t creating that much and coupled with the fact that we don’t have a clinical finisher we will struggle. Waghorn is ok but needs 3-4 chances to score. We just aren’t creating enough. I’d like to think that would change with players returning to full fitness but that might be too late, certainly for Cocu. The recruitment of a striker is laughable.

I agree with G Star, in the first half it was better football than we played at anytime last season, the move to put Lawrence and Jozwiek up front was inspired. Over all we were the better team and I love the Shinnie and Knight dynamic in midfield (knight is playing out of his skin at the moment), the way we closed them down was excellent and they (Huddersfield) needed half time to regroup and change their strategy and shape to combat us. we need to shoot more, get our injured back and fully fit and keep our confidence, it was noticeable that performance dropped off once they had scored. I am still very positive about the future and about what Cocu is building, there are enough signs to show that we are getting better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Knight did against Norwich. So why play him somewhere else in the next games? Whittaker? Davies has too. Etc. Are the players being played to their best effect? That is down to the manager.

Why would Rooney - who it is acknowledged has a great football brain - be any worse than Cocu?! We saw the effect he had when he arrived. But in the end Rooney on the pitch can only follow the manager’s instructions. So I don’t think if Cocu was replaced it would be Rooney but if it where he’s got great pedigree!

There is a massive difference between having an instinctive football brain on the pitch having the intelligence to coach and manage a football team.

There’s plenty of managers out there with neither! Did say I didn’t think Rooney would be offered our job but that I didn’t see why he wouldn’t do a good job.

BramcoteRam84 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 11 hours ago, Coconut said: Agree with all of that, sensible post, keeping a level head. I do find it amusing the number of people who were willing to stick with him before the match, and probably were quite hopeful at half time, maybe even reasonably pleased with the performance (read the thread!)... 45 minutes later the tipping point has been reached and now they've absolutely had enough. I think it’s a recognition that these results just can’t go on, regardless of the green shoots of players coming back, the academy talent which is genuinely as good as i can remember in my 30 years supporting the club. For that reason I think many people turned last night. Personally the fair thing to do would be to give Cocu more time with his players and squad fit. But the more he loses games the more leeway he loses. If we lose the next 3 we are W1 and L7! How many teams come back from a start like that? I was thinking minimum he needed to win 3 games from this block of 7. We’ve lost the first 2 which means we need to win 3 of the next 5. I really hope he gets a result on Friday night and get a couple of results next week as long term I still think he could take us where we want to go. And also, if as many are saying Eddie Howe is waiting for a premier league job, there isn’t many out there who would be a good fit for what we need.
