Given the grossly disrespectful treatment of Michael Carrick, as he's publicly replaced whilst still in the job, i don't see Pochettino starting the job with anything even close to broad support
It's possible to believe Carrick is out of his depth without also wanting him treated so shabbily. We've seen with their work around transfers what a tight ship INEOS can run when it suits them, so someon

So Pochettino over Howe, Nagelsmann and even Conte?

*ManchesterUnited*
Given our current circumstances, I would say that Pochettino suits our level since the truly elite managers like Enrique or future greats like Fabregas dont see anything in United to abandon ship and come over. That being said, why are we going after another coach for whom we have to pay a significant release fee for when there were suitable options like Howe, Nagelsmann, or even Conte (even thoug

Okay, so Mauricio Pochettino has agreed a deal to become Manchester United's next head coach, replacing Michael Carrick, who was sacked yesterday after a run of one win in 10 games. Uh Rob, let's go to you first then. Look, the deal has agreed. We know there's a lot of senior figures at Manchester United. We've been talking a lot about them over the last recent weeks. Um are they all in agreement on Pochettino? >> Yeah, from what I've been told, they absolutely are. Look, there was an awful lot of being reported on Manchester United recently. Uh, one of which was that Christopher Vll, the head of recruitment, was promoting Julian Nalglesman, who he knew from RB Leipig, and that uh Jason Wilcox, the director of football, wanted Eddie how because he wanted proven Premier League experience. That's absolute nonsense. Um, I can tell you that neither of them were pushing either of those candidates and neither of those candidates were spoken to. Um they were keen on Unai Emory and we'll get on and talk about him in just a moment but they've had a long-term interest in Moritzio Pochettino and what I broke yesterday was that um Omar Barada the Manchester United chief executive actually met with Pochettino a couple of months after he' taken the job at Manchester United to assess the frame of mind of this guy and whether he was right to replace Eric Tenhog at the time. Um, and the feeling was from Barard and I think other big wigs at Manchester United that they didn't think he was he they felt he'd been bruised by his exit from Chelsea which had happened a few months before and with an awful lot to sort out at Manchester United and submissions in the dressing room. They didn't I think both sides agreed it wasn't necessarily the right time but even before Inos the previous owners had an interest in Mauricio Pochettino and met with him and considered him before they appointed Eric Tenhog. So, this is a guy who's been on the Old Trafford radar for for for some considerable time. And I think those guys that are in charge now decided pretty quickly when they discovered he was available and they could get him out of his US contract for 75 million pounds that it was the deal they wanted to do. >> So, he was third choice then. >> Third choice. >> Yeah. >> How'd you roll that out? >> Cuz they interviewed with Mourinho after Mourinho, right? And then they interviewed after Ranak, right? So, now he's third >> third choice. the the third time they had the opportunity to get him. They've taken him. >> Yeah. >> They didn't believe in him a few years ago. >> I would say they didn't believe in him. They didn't think it was the right time for him. >> So So I guess on that, is it the right time, Jay, for Moritzio Pochettino at Manchester United right now? >> It's tough times. I don't know if it's the I don't know what what is the right time at Man United? I mean, you look at what what I've seen. I think Michael Carrick again, I think he got treated really badly. I think it was disgraceful the way Man United ownership treated Michael Carrick because >> because that's a narrative by the way that's right across the media in the UK right now. >> So is it a narrative? Let's just think about that. So if a player comes out publicly and talks about ownership and management, you will be the first person to say he shouldn't be doing that. Right? So why couldn't ownership come out and publicly discuss things with a >> they haven't publicly discussed it. >> They they came out. How how did everyone know that Man United won Pchino? >> That did not come from I can guarantee cuz I've been trying to talk to Manchester United over the last Fortnite. People very high up. It did not come from Manchester United. They're interest. Look, I'm not going to reveal my sources, but I can tell you categorically it was not Manchester United who leaked. It's one of the two. It's either Poch or it's Man United. then you draw your own conclusion. But I can tell you categorically it's not Manchester United. >> But Rob, do you do do you understand what the Jay's point of view and and yes, you might absolutely we we don't know where that leak came from. But when you see such uh news being discussed in public for well not just a couple of days this has been going from for a couple of weeks and reports in every newspaper about Michael Carrick's future discussions with Poshino while Michael Carrick's going into the training ground. You can understand how that looks. >> They confirmed discussions as well. >> You sorry. >> Didn't they confirm discussions? >> No, >> they didn't confirm discussions. >> No, no discussions. Manchester United have confirmed nothing at all in the last Fortnite. So, look, I I I I completely accept I'm in the minority here. And I think I'm I've got I disagree with most Manchester United supporters here who who feel that Michael Carrick has been treated horrifically, as you do, as a legend of the football club. Um, and all he's achieved for that fo...

But first to some huge breaking news from Manchester United. Let's head straight to our reporter Anton Toui who's at Carrington for us. Anton, what have you got for us? Yeah, Mitzio Pochettino will be the new Manchester United head coach. In the last few seconds, US Soccer have announced that Pochettino will be departing the US camp after the two games for the USA against Haiti to become the Manchester United head coach. Interestingly enough, they've just released a long statement in the last few minutes. Obviously thanking him for his hardworking, saying he's going to leave a lasting mark on US soccer, obviously after taking the USA to the last 16 of the World Cup in the summer. We're still waiting for official confirmation from Manchester United and words from their parties, but it's the first domino that needed to fall. It was always going to be a matter of when, not if. And now we know that Mitzio Pochettino will become the new man United head coach. The fee that Manchester United are paying for him is his release fee of around10 million dollars around seven and a half million pounds which means after the second game against Haiti on Tuesday night, Wednesday morning our time out in Cincinnati, he'll fly over here. He's expected to be met by Manchester United officials. Then he has just a few days to hit the ground running before his first Premier League game in charge of his new club against their old rivals Liverpool. So confirmation that Mauricio Pochettino it will be the new head coach of Manchester United. Yeah, and I'm just going to look at some of the quotes that we're getting through here because obviously this is big breaking news. We've just got it in the last few seconds. As you said, let's just pick out some of the things that Microsino's had to say. He said the opportunity to represent the USA Crest was one of the greatest honors of my career. We are so grateful to the players for their commitment, to the fans for their belief, and to the federation for always supporting our staff and creating the opportunities to impact the culture of soccer in this great country. He goes on to say some thanks for the working relationships that he's had. He talks about the tremendous talent in the US player pool from the youth teams through to the senior team. It says it's one of the reasons that they've got so much belief for the future of US soccer. And he says that they will always have a special place in his hearts that they'll be supporting the team whenever they step on the field. And interesting, Anton, that he's mentioning the US player pool because a lot of focus with this new role at Manchester United is the players that he's going to have within this Manchester United squad and the impact that he can make on these players. H what's your take on that, Anton? >> Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it? Because then in the statement from US Soccer, they mentioned the fact he's used 75 players in the player pool while being head coach of the US. And obviously he's known for developing sort of younger players and getting them to a higher level. In the Manchester United statement that has just been dropped on their website as well. Almost instantly they talk about his renown for his highintensity attacking style of football which is exactly what Manchester United want to get back to. We know there's been so much sort of talk about Manchester United's transfer dealings over the last few years. Obviously we saw them in the last the summer before last look at the front line then look at the midfield this summer and obviously Manchester United want to go back to a little bit of the oldfashioned way and bringing through the younger players as well which is something Pochettino has got a track record for. He's got a track record of improving players and that is exactly what Manchester United team need right now. Obviously they are stuck in the relegation places which is something which nobody really thought would happen come the beginning of the season. one win in the Premier League so far this season and like I said a a huge opening game against Liverpool for them to hit the ground running. So yeah, it's really interesting, isn't it? Obviously because he's got Premier League experience. We know what he did at Southampton. We know what he did at Tottenham. Obviously the single season at Chelsea going off to Paris Sanchan winning things out there as well. So he's obviously an exceptionally experienced head coach. But like I said, it's interesting that Manchester United straight away pointing out his attacking his attacking sort of techniques and the fact that he is a high intensity coach, high intensity on the training pitch as well, which I'm sure some people would say is exactly what the Manchester United squad needs right now. They're going to have to wait another few days for him to come because obviously he won't be here in Manchester until what, Wednesday? Probably at the very very earliest. >> Anton, you j...

So much happening at Manchester United. A deal has been done for Moritzio Pochettino to become the club's next head coach. As well as that, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandez has rejected a second contract offer from the club. His current deal is set to expire at the end of the season. Let's head to United's training ground and speak live to our reporter Alan Meers then about all of this. Good morning to you Alan. We'll talk about Bruno in a moment, but first we got to talk Mauritio Pochettino and his impending arrival at Manchester United. Bring us up to date with the latest, please. >> Well, as you say, uh we expected him, well, we believe he's he's agreed a deal for two and a half years here at Manchester United training ground. He's currently over with the US national team. of course, his current job until that the job here starts uh we think maybe next Thursday. Uh but he's got two games uh to to take in for the US national team uh over the next few days on Saturday and also on Wednesday against Haiti. Um it's been agreed that he will take those games. Of course, they're going to be taking place in Miami. He'll find a very different weather uh situation when he comes here to Carrington, but yeah, the deal is is is done. uh we expect him to take over and we expect an announcement uh sometime later today to confirm um Maricio Pochicino as the next Manchester United manager and I'd imagine one of the first things in Pochettino's intray is going to be sorting out Bruno Fernandez's contract at Old Trafford but that might be a bit harder than planned perhaps. >> Well, it would appear so wouldn't it? We wake up to the news that that Bruno Fernandez has turned down, rejected a second offer of from Manchester United to sign a new contract. Of course, um he's a very valuable player. He's a really important player and he will be for Mauricio Pochicino, I'm sure. Um he's been Manchester United's best player for a number of years now. He joined back in 2020 and for those six years has been really pivotal to everything that's gone on here. Uh but he was offered a new contract in the summer that that was he rejected that one. Uh negotiations have not gone as well as I think both sides would like to. Manchester United want to keep the player. Um but he does United do have the fact that that they hold an option uh for a further year when his contract expires in June 2027. So they do sort of hold the cards at the moment. Um but uh and that also prevents him by the way speaking to clubs in January um which is usually uh the way that it goes but um as I say uh that prevents that. So so Manchester United do have a a strong hand in some respects but um but they will want to sign Bruno up. Uh as I say he's been a talisman here. Um and a new manager coming in uh will want to to keep the better players of course. Um and and interestingly enough um uh Bruno uh Fernandez could have might have joined uh Potcino when he was back as Spurs boss uh a number of years ago now. Um uh but it was that the move was blocked by Sporting Lisbon. So the two sort of uh would probably get on together you would think and Potuna may well be very interested in uh in keeping the player that he he's obviously admired in the past. >> Thanks very much Alan. Right. We we'll get on to Bruna Fernandez and his future in more detail this morning as well, but of course we're going to start with PoCHCH and >> it's quite handy. He's got a press conference coming up at 2:30. We might learn a lot more from that. What are the next few hours going to be like for Poch? >> Yeah, it could be fascinating to see what he says in that press conference. I mean, you would imagine there will be a lot of Manchester United related questions. That said, there'll be obviously American journalists in that press conference. So maybe they will want to ask mostly about the USA, but yet 2:30 UK time, 9:30 a.m. in Florida, we're going to be hearing from Mauricio Pochettino. That will be fascinating. And then he's got a couple of games, as Alan was just saying there over the next few days with the United States. His sort of farewell to his job in the US, this double-headed quarterfinal against Haiti in the Conquer Cuff quarterfinals. So nominally, the away game is to is tomorrow. that's actually being played h in Miami, Florida though, and then their home game next Wednesday. That's in Cincinnati. Um before we assume he will probably fly to the UK, you would imagine Thursday, perhaps Friday once he's got his affairs in order. And then the small matter of his first game in charge of Manchester United at Anfield on November the 22nd. It's weird. The last international break was obviously when the whole Manchester City story broke and their first game was away at Anfield after the international break. Manchester United's first game. Mauricio Pochettino in the rule away at Anfield as well. It's funny how these things work out. But talk about a baptism of fire playing your fierce...

Well, after Manchester United sacked [music] Michael Carrick yesterday, Moritzio Pochettino has agreed a two and a half year deal to take over as the new head coach, it's the only place to start, Jay. So, where Manchester United find themselves right now, is Maritzo Pochettino the right man for them? >> Again, I'm not sure. Um, to be honest, James, um, you know, I do know that he interviewed for the job after Mourinho left in 2018. Um and then he interviewed again um in 2022 um after Ranik and then Tenha got it. Um and obviously he's in the job now. Is he the person that I think they really really wanted? >> I'm not sure. And I think the fact that they gave him a 2 and 1/2 year deal suggests that as well cuz if he was a long-term then I'm guessing he would have get like 5 years. >> Yeah. Does that s does that length of the deal surprise you? It does this morning, doesn't it? It does because if you think this is your guy that can change the culture of the club and take the club forward, then why would you give them a short-term deal? I think this is the deal where, you know, if it doesn't go the way they want, then they, you know, don't have a lot to pay out, you know, in when you sack him. Um, but listen, at the end of the day, he has got a good resume. He has got experience. Um, >> he used to live across the road from me. [laughter] >> Yeah. No. >> Do you see drop by for a cup of tea in the morning? >> By all accounts, he's a he's a really nice guy. Um he doesn't take any silliness. Um he demands hard work. Um and this is what I think these players need. They need to be shaken up. Um and he's gone in there. I think he's gone in there to steady the ship, change the culture, you know, obviously try and take the club forward and then go from there. I think I think uh the the hierarchy uh uh Man United will re-evaluate, you know, maybe after a year, but I'm not sure right now that I can say this is their first choice, you know, as to take the club forward long term. >> When you talk about changing the culture at a club, how long can that take or does that take? Because you know if we're looking at examples in recent years a lot of emphasis on Arsenal and when Mikau Arteta came in and he had to change the culture but we know how long that's taken for Arsenal to compete for Premier League title and then eventually get over the line last season. We're talking quite a few years. >> And this is the thing when you look at um Arteta it wasn't overnight. I think he finished was it eighth twice and then fifth fifth. >> Second. Exactly. So it was it took a while but Arsenal persevered. Arsenal said, "No, we're sticking with our man." And now look at the Arsenal team that's there. Look at the squad that he's assembled. Um, you know, very squ depth, you know, champions, you know, probably champions again. Um, but that took longer than two and a half years. >> It did. But as well, one thing that Arteta did do, you know, he got rid of the players that he thought were bad eggs. He got them out of the change room straight away. He said, you know what, I don't need, you know, the negativity, you know, that infectious negative behavior. They got to go. Regardless of what they've achieved in their career, big names or not, they got to go. I need to bring in characters that fit what I want at this club, what I believe is a good personality and quality um to take this club forward. Um so I think that will be his first job. He's probably looking at the squad, you know, he's probably been looking at the squad already, you know, who do I want? what what you know ask phoning around asking if he doesn't know the people um the players personally phoning around saying you know what are they like are they good characters you know what's their qualities where can they play you know are they going to be disruptive so he's got a big job on his hands and obviously they got Liverpool in their first game um so that's going to be tough um to begin with but again the question you ask me am I convinced that he was their first choice no because it hasn't suggested it in the He interviewed in the past and didn't get the job. >> Yeah. And he had that meal with Sir Alex Ferguson. It was 10 years ago when that was first reported while he was Tottenham Hotspur manager at the time as well. So there's always been this link between Muritio Pchettino and Manchester United. Look, you you mentioned you're not convinced. We were asking the question yesterday to the United fans whether you think Mauricio Pochettino is the right man or not. And I think at one point it's about 39% said they he's not the right man. So sorry 39% said he wasn't he was the right man. Sorry. So more were siding with the fact they didn't think he was particularly the right man for the job. >> Are they excited about this is the thing that I think >> are are they excited to have him at the helm? Are the fans feeling like yeah this is the guy let's get behind him. Or is it like well we...

So I just switched it off at half and then we had for said no game. >> So I missed the second half they won 2-1. They were already I think they were already qualified anyway. >> I don't like that trophy. >> No it's to get you on play like 21 United Everton Liverpools >> but it's one of them is it? It's probably a little bit like the Caribou Cup for Premier League. But when you get to see someone at Wembley, you think >> you >> We won it. >> You won that in League 2. >> We won it in CO. Yeah, we won in League Two. We won it the whole thing. Portsouth at Wembley. >> Oh, wow. Do you know we were playing in the final as Portsmouth, it was going to be March and it was when COVID shut, lockdown came in February and they'd sold 32,000 tickets for the final and we were going to make quite a lot of money out of it because we were we sold like five or six. So, we about like 40,000. decent crowd at when you get it splits halfway the the the money and we end up playing it the year after in front of no people just obviously the directors were in there or the owners were in there so we were in there and like literally nobody in the ground mad and we had to sit two seats apart from each other mad and watch we bit him to be fair it was Richard was mad >> we we battered them we absolutely battered him was mad >> well I'll tell you what >> you're a knife mate for the >> what a shambles Man United are >> you know something every time it gets to this point when a manager sacked irrespective of whether it's someone that actually is a club legend and actually you have a bit more feeling for it. You just think what a mess, don't you? >> What a mess. >> You just can't believe it's like I I I I still when you know when you're a kid growing up and like people tell you about I always kind of get mad around Tottenham and Man United got relegated like in the 70s. You know, you think how could that happen? I think but you you know but you're watching it now. >> Who's keeping everyone? >> Who's keeping everyone? We've been waiting for three or four minutes. >> I know. Go. >> Jeez. >> What time is it? >> That question that pundit thing. Did you get >> Yeah, I I just said everyone. >> All the people. You said >> I said for a slam dunk line, Roy Keane is the best pundit. Depth analysis. I said you. >> But it's not about Yeah, I know. It's just about >> different personality, isn't it? You know what I mean? People you're working with when you were a bit watching when you were younger, obviously. >> And then I said growing up in Ireland. >> But I said the real then I said Aan Dumpy. And I said the best one really was the guy got sports. >> Did you ever go last week? >> He's lying last week to Gabby a bonour on uh what you replied to him on his Instagram. I was pissing myself laughing. I was in America. >> I can't even remember. >> And you put I'm always worried about someone who's more passionate about the club when they're basically sort of a pundit than they were when they played. >> Oh, dead right. I love [laughter] Oh, brilliant show. >> Like and I see these people on social and I'm like I watched your show even run. >> I love that. Good show. when people are a bit more passionate or ex players who say I love the club you going but when you played you didn't seem to love them that much when you played it's really key when you're playing for the club you love them afterwards >> he chilled out oh good show Jeremy >> hey people go I love that club >> so passion down tools all the time >> or ask for transfers every two minutes >> wow should have came in earlier [laughter] >> oh we think of when we were a bit young Alan Hansen I suppose in all these life weren't Because I suppose you had to listen to them. >> Yeah. >> No, but Alan Hansen and Mark Lawrenson sat on Match the Dead, they did have massive presences, didn't >> they? Yeah, I suppose. Yeah. >> And even like on I I always remember on ITV, >> they'd have like Bobby Robson, Terravens, they'd have like people that you just thought even Brian Moore as a commentator, it felt more >> Yeah. >> But there's so much more of it now.

Jamie, great to see you. Look, we're going to get into the detail in a moment, but does it simply come down to the fact that Manchester United couldn't accept being where they are in the league and that Michael Carrick had to go? >> Yeah, I I think so. I think for for any team really if if they're near the bottom of the league, you know, there's always that pressure on them. Even at times we've seen in the past teams who've been promoted. So to see you know a side you know like Manchester United one of you know the biggest clubs in the world not just in this country to be in that position that's that's not acceptable no matter what we we feel about you know recruitment manager hierarchy Manchester United should never be second from bottom when you think of you know the advantages they have on almost every other team or most teams in the Premier League financially. So uh yeah a decision was always going to be made. It was just whether it was going to happen maybe after the Bournemouth game or they were going to wait till the international break. >> Just on recruitment then Jamie Henry Winter who was the ghost writer of Carrick's book says that Carrick wanted four players in the summer. Elliot Anderson, Matz Fernandez, Morgan Rogers and Lewis Hall. They of course got none of those. Was he doomed to fail this season given the actual recruitment do you think? Well, no manager ever gets all the players he wants. Those four players just mentioned there, there's no way Manchester United were ever getting all those four players. One, because I don't think they probably got the money for all those players, number one, and number two, those players when they've all come to Manchester United. So, that's just that's, you know, it's easy to throw names about and of course all those players would have improved. Manchester United, they're all fantastic players, but that is that is not reality in terms of where Manchester United are now in the transfer market. they are the number one destination for players and they've wasted so much money over the last 10 15 years. They get to a situation where they can't actually compete with with Manchester City for Elliot Anderson. So they despire they decide to split the money around three midfield players rather than just one or or maybe two, which is whether that was a decision for the club or Michael or whatever, but it's not reality that those players were ever going to go to Manchester United. In terms of how Carrick's been treated, Jamie, do you think he's been treated poorly or would you say this is just a function of the football industry? >> I don't think he's being treated poorly now. Uh I, you know, you can talk about obviously I was speaking with Gary about that. He feels a little bit differently, Gary Neville, and he feels like he should have been told rather than being left hanging for the last couple of days. And listen, that's not ideal. and and I don't think people at Manchester United want to treat, you know, their manager or a legendary figure in terms of a player at the club like that, but they obviously hadn't fully got the new manager over the line. And yeah, maybe it leaves a bit of taste for some people, but listen, the people in charge of Manchester United have got to do what's best for Manchester United, not just Michael Carrick. and they obviously hadn't got it looks like Pochettino over the line and uh they're the same people who gave him the opportunity when you know he wasn't really in management gave him the opportunity again in the summer stuck with him and and gave him a contract as the you know the proper manager so I listen we've all got opinions on it but I I don't think he's being treated badly now >> in terms of Mio Pochettino then you know he always seemed to be destined to be United manager do you think that he is the galvanizing figure that the club need or is an unfair expectation on just one man. >> Well, I think Pochettino uh it always I think you're right. It's always felt like a a different stage as he was he was going to get the Manchester United job. Uh he's got huge respect in in the Premier League for what he's done in the past. I think the situation Man United find themselves in right now, I think he's he's probably the best person they could have got really. I I didn't think he'd be available because he'd signed his new contract with uh with America. That's why I always felt Eddie how would get it because I felt right now Manchester United need a man who knows the Premier League because the situation where they find themselves in in the league. So they couldn't take a chance on maybe bringing someone in from abroad who'd never managed in the Premier League and took time to get settled and you're still in the position they are in the bottom three maybe after Christmas. So to think they've got someone like Pochettino who's got Champions League experience, managed huge football clubs, uh he's well respected in the Premier League, I t...

That is not the lead story. This is the lead story. As of 8:31 a.m. Pacific time, Michael Carrick is no longer the manager of Manchester United. Mauricio Pochettino can be thought of as both the manager of the United States and reportedly of Manchester United. It is a fluid situation. We're going to be talking a lot about it now and in the days to come. Hello everyone and welcome alongside a pair of former US national team players. Moadu, a trio in fact, Steu Holden and Alexi Law at the end of the desk. I'm John. I'm used to just the two up there. All right. This is a lot that's going on. We're going to be on top of it throughout the day in the next few days. Big picture though, like what do we make of the last 48 hours and what's going on with Pochettino in the US? >> Yeah. Hectic, crazy, and sadly in some ways very predictable when you committed to Mauricio Pochettino in the summer. A guy that some felt was going to leave and ends up staying. So then what follows after that? Well, you get some momentum, some excitement, some hope. And yet now I'm feeling disappointed quite frankly at the whole situation. But at the same time, this is not a guy that is irreplaceable. And when you peel back some of the smoke and mirrors and you look at his tenure as coach of the US men's national team, he was hired to do something in a World Cup that we had never done before. The US went out in the round of 16 ultimately and that's where we've always been. So, didn't win the Nations League, went out in the semi-finals, didn't win a Gold Cup, uh lost to Mexico in the final, goes out in the round of 16. [music] Sure, we played some wonderful soccer against Paraguay. That result, that game, that tournament, I will always remember and US fans will always remember, but I think what we have to do in this moment is look at the situation with Mauricio Pochettino and realize that US soccer is actually in a pretty good situation. You get $10 million reportedly for Pochettino leaving. You're still two years away essentially from World Cup qualifying. You've got some good young players coming through and you have some time to go and find a new manager. So for me, this is not the sky is falling. I'm disappointed that you made a commitment to stay and now you're leaving some couple of months later. But yeah, next man up. Let's go. >> Yeah, I'm disappointed as well, but I also recognize that this is the business of football, right? And I'm not going to take this personal. I understand and I there's going to be frustration and and fingers pointed at Pochettino saying he's always he's always had one foot in one foot out but I think that's kind of harsh. We've all been players and you play for a team and when you're committed to that team you're committed but you're also still ambitious for your next role and what that looks like. For Pochettino he's always I think both himself and US soccer approached this next deal knowing that this was on the horizon. When the best opportunity for him came, he was going to pursue it and that's what he's done. I think the timing is better for us. I'd rather it happen now than happen two years from the World Cup or or us being three years into the cycle. We have such a talented young group of players that the next decision to me is the most important. I feel kind of similar to how I felt when we fired Greg Burhalter where the next decision, the next action was going to be the most important, which was going out there and getting the right person. We thought that was Pochettino. This may not be the case now. So now it's about US soccer making sure that they use that money that you're talking about, the $10 million, and we go out there and find the next best candidate to take this group of players, build off the last window, build off of what we hope is two good performances against Haiti, and steer this next group of young talent in the right direction leading up to the next World Cup and by the way, the Olympics prior to that. >> Yeah. I mean, look, inherent in in coaching is, you know, an element of being a mercenary. All right. and and maybe even more so when it comes to international coaching and this is of our own making in that when I say our I mean the United States Soccer Federation they knew that this was a possibility all along and yet they still resigned him after uh the World Cup. Look, we could have moved on only a couple of months ago. So to Mo's point, this is timing wise is is fine. Um this is not a messy breakup. uh it's more of like a a conscious uncoupling if you will here in that you have Pochettino who's going to say it's not you it's me uh with his ambition um and I think even an expectation to do something like this by the way this says a lot about still the power of the brand of Manchester uh Manchester United and from United States Soccer Federation I think they're saying we had some good times but also to most point we move on uh I am not losing sleep over this I don't think a lo...
