Porch making it to 2030 was a long shot at best. Better he leaves now so we can really screw up the next coaching hire.

I get it for Poch, but it’s a dumb move for both sides. He gets a shite squad and United casts off another club legend whose failings are not his fault.
Unless and until the squad is overhauled, United will stay in the cycle of mediocrity to flat out putridity. Poch will do no better and be gone in 18 months.

Hire Pep and see what happens.

I don't see how this doesn't end with Poch getting sacked a month or two into his tenure.
There are so many instances where a cratering big club goes through 1-2 more coaches after it initially sacked the one that they started the season with.

He's burned out. I don't know if we see him manage again.

Apparently they signed him to a long-term deal, not that that would stop a team with resources from moving on.

It’ll likely be Callahan or Cherundolo though.

Exactly, if they keep losing, and they will because their players are trash, Poch will be out the door in 2-3 months.

I've seen suggestions that if he goes and does this and gets fired the US would bring him back for 2032.
I just can't imagine that would sit well with the US players, but what do I know. We hired gregggg back after some drama.

It was dumb to bring Gregg back for another cycle, regardless of the Gio stuff. But at least you knew that he wouldn't be looking for other jobs.
If you bring Poch in a few months after the ManU thing fails, we'd be doing this all over again where his name would come up for any major club opening.

They’re all professionals as well. I don’t think they’d care that much.

I love the timeline we're in where the coach of our freaking national team is getting poached by one of the largest clubs in the world 
Semantics I know, but still wild.

Damn. I was hoping this wouldn’t happen because I wanted to see how a full cycle would look like under Poch. Bummed.
I say we either go after Pep hard core or we hire BJ Callahan. I’m not sure that Cherundolo is that guy, but he would be my third choice, tied with Brian Schmetzer.

Cant wait til Marsch informs us that he’s not interested

At least we were smart enough to tack on a hefty buyout clause.
Makes a swing-for-the-fences type offer at least possible.

I appreciate the below Reddit comment:
Craziest part to me is that with a $10-15M buyout, that means that US Soccer more or less got him for free for a couple years.
Total pay for him and assistants so far, ~$18M. Total subsidy from donors, ~$8M. So they could be looking at getting him and staff for free (or even making a few dollars on the whole tenure). Now that's good value.
Did US Soccer just find the ultimate money making venture. Rehabbing fired EPL coaches?

I read that the buyout that was triggered was $7.4m
ETA: My b, it was £7.4m, so $10m
