Heading into the New
Year’s Eve game against Bournemouth without a manager is a strange thing for
Huw Jenkins to permit as far as I’m concerned. Who exactly is going to lead the
side to victory and three points we desperately need? Can you ask Britts to
take on the responsibility? Not while he’s sat on the bench you can’t!
Bradders’ sacking came early enough in the week that we now
know the club’s first choices are both ignoring the chance to take over at the
Liberty. Ryan Giggs and Chris Coleman are obviously looking elsewhere for their
employment future – perhaps Giggs believes Mourinho will cock up enough that
United will give him the job and Coleman would’ve been foolish to leave the
Welsh national side!
So that leaves us with Paul Clement, currently assistant
manager at Bayern Munich under Carlo Ancelotti and Gary Rowett who was recently
dismissed from Birmingham City thanks to their new owners disliking him for no
reason whatsoever – brilliant.
Even more from the media, APPARENTLY Antonio Conte’s Chelsea
are interested in signing Fernando Llorente in January as back up to Diego
Costa. Given Llorente’s seemingly permanent position on the bench for us; he
could do worse than making the switch for a bit more pocket money but it
remains to be seen how much truth there is to the rumours – Chelsea are also
linked to former Man Utd striker Javier Hernandez so you can’t believe
everything you read.
In brief, Ki and Taylor might be available for the game but
there’s no information coming from the club at present to confirm their
availability and Montero is definitely unavailable thanks to a hamstring injury
that’ll keep him out until the end of January at least – better than usual on
the injury front!
Are we in the midst of turning a corner? Can we see off
Bournemouth to start 2017 on the right foot? Or are we destined to slump to
defeat yet again at the hands of a side we are more than capable of defeating?
I can’t give any answers right now because I just don’t know
– all I do know is we need a manager ASAP to save a sinking ship.
