What does everyone think of the Blanc rumours? I know he signed a new contract recently but I for one would really like him at the club.

Why would Blanc leave PSG? Why would PSG allow a French manager to leave? They have almost limitless funds, the league is pretty easy, they are in Paris which is a nice place to live in. Oh and he signed a two year extension to his deal in Feb. It makes no sense, looks like the press have jumped of a nothing story.

{Ed001's Note - they are just wrapping up the league as we speak.}

Maybe PSG want a new manager maybe Blanc wants a new challenge. I wasn't asking how plausible it was I was only asking what everyone would think of Blanc at utd.

Wrapping it up with a certain amount of style ed, it's 8-0 and Ibra scored a 10 min hat trick. It is against ten men though.

{Ed001's Note - it was 7-0 before the man got sent off and the 8th came from the pen which was the result of the sending off. Though the keeper saved the Cavani pen, only for Cavani to knock in the loose ball. Oh and Ibra just made it 9.}

In terms of Blanc it seems a bit of a fudge to placate those who don't want Mourinho. The best available out there is, like it or not, Jose and if some feel uncomfortable appointing him then maybe it is time they retired from positions of influence. Our thinking since Busby retired has, bar SAF, been muddled. If is time we made cold hard professional logical decisions based on what is right for the club and not on whether a couple of people don't like someone. We could end up with the wrong manager because of someone's personal feelings or dislike at a time when logic needs to be applied. No to Giggs or Blanc, stop dithering and get Mourinho in and start planning for the manager after him.

I think you guys are kinda answering why Blanc would leave PSG with your argument for him staying. It's so easy. They are in a league where they can win games 9-0, where's the challenge? If he wants to be seen as one of the worlds great managers, he has to leave France and play in one of the top leagues.

Personally, I think he'd be a calming influence on us and might gradually claw back some respectability to the club. Atm we've got a guy who makes a fool of himself in the media every week, who claims his players are 'Horny', falls on his *rse just to make a point and doesn't even know the names of his players.

With Blanc you get some class, someone who isn't going to sulk if a player voice's there opinion. He's not particularly youth orientated but he's good at instilling confidence into higher profile players, for example, Thiago Silva's confidence was wrecked after Brazil's poor performance's at last years Copa America but Blanc has got him back to top form. Re-instiling confidence at United is a huge thing for the club and this is part of the reason I think he'd be a good acquisition.

Another huge indication of what he can do is with our very own ill fated ex-masiah Di Maria. Where LVG strapped him to the wing and removed his ability to roam Blanc gives him freedom to express himself. Against Chelsea he was officially on the right wing on the team sheet, but in reality he didn't have a set position and was the creative spark that unlocked Chelsea's defences in both legs.

Yes Blanc has had a huge budget at PSG, but as we have seen with us, Man City and Liverpool this season, it's not as easy to buy success as everyone thinks. Obviously Mourinho is the most prolific current Premier League manager in the game and I wouldn't be against his appointment but he always brings both good and bad attention to any club he's managed. So in our current state, where our image is in tatters, I think Blanc would be a more intelligent choice.

Blanc winning a B league with a team assembled for 100s of millions against teams with tiny budgets does not make a great or good manager. He sucked as the french coach. Nice man and demeanou but a long way from JM as a football manager. has won nothing IMO.

I think we can safely say that Blanc will not be our manager.
