The thing to remember with Unai, is that he's already been approached by a 'top 6' premier league club with a fan base that 'expects' success, and which wouldn't tolerate someone building a team and going through the associated transitional process. It did not go well. He's been there. Done that.He knows full well that a move to Man Utd is not a "five-year project", regardless of how it's sold to him. It's 12-18 months to show significant improvement, or get the sack. He's not getting time to rebuild that squad in his own image.The only way he's moving is if he agitates for it, and I simply do not see that happening, given the infrastructure he has established around himself here. It's not like the financial rewards would be THAT much more, surely? He's on £5m a year with us, and will probably get a raise if we qualify for the Champions League, so he's one of the top paid managers already.
Yeah, I wondered about that. How/when can you have 3 team meetings the day of a game?! Or are they all bite-sized briefings (team hotel, bus and changing room?) 20 minutes each cos footballers are thick as pigshit?

The props reminded me of Smithy’s best man speech in Gavin & Stacey which was equally as bad.
