We will get over it, like we got over the city thrashing. Everyone is way too emotional and dramatic. It’s 3 points, it stings more given the manner and who it was. Do we not all want a more stable club with less jerking from one thing to another? Rebuild after rebuild etc? Agree we are poor lately but we were decent last year and I can’t see why we can’t get back to at least how we were last year then go from there. I am not wanting a big ole in/out debate but if he can change this round it will be the right decision, if he doesn’t ok it’s wrong but I just think given the options- let’s see what happens keeping him for now.
Could this be the beginning of something?
- Thread starter Plant0x84
- Start date
I feel like Father Ted explaining perspective to Dougal: Fergie and Ole are different.

But 10 out of 10 for your optimism
How many lives does this cat have? Too many in my estimation. Get it gone.
It's not 3 points. This game was the culmination of 3 years with no plan, no style of play, bad man-management, and lazy coaching.
Just wait till we draw 1-1 against Tottenham.
I said this in jest, but honestly... I am worried. Tottenham when prompted can put goals on the board. If they come to play and we come to put our heads up our arses, then 1-1 might be wishful thinking.

They are now in a position where they cannot hire a decent manager because that manager won't get the authority to make Ronaldo press off the ball by dropping him if he doesn't. It's the ultimate football versus marketing dilemma.
But which one is small and which one is far away?
Did anyone else think "who's this bumping old threads?"?
And then everybody wakes up.
In all these circumstances, were we outplayed by everyone before the spanking? If yes, then you make have a point. But, I m afraid we (almost) all know the answer is not yes.
Depends what you mean. More positive than a whooping at home to Pool, it would be hard not to improve on that.
The issue is even if we fully recover, then go on a great run, beat Spurs, win in the CL, even beat City, you just know it will not last under Ole and the plunges in form will return. We have a great squad right now, we need to be challenging.

It is the beginning of the end (of Ole's reign). Nothing more.
Losing 5-0 to Newcastle at St James Park is not comparable to losing 5-0 to our bitterest rivals on our own patch.
So a no here.
So a no here.
no
But you’re happy now right? Cos we lost against Liverpool?
If the board is 'protecting ' ole, do they realise we're competing in a league that includes Pep guardiola, Jurgen klopp, Thomas tuchel, Marcelo bielsa, Brendan Rodgers......?
Issue this time is he seems to have lost some of the players too. That won't help him one bit, especially at this stage. The players were digging deep to pull us out of poor places time and again last season. It was never going to last forever. You know how bad we are when Shaw says he could see this coming. Imagine a player saying he could see a drubbing coming.
So no, no way in hell is Ole lasting the season.
While I get that fans are tired and want the next manager yesterday, no one can say with a straight face that they wouldn't be happy if there was some type of magical turnaround from this point.
If Bruno doesn't miss alone with Allison at minute '4 on Sunday, we're having a wildly different conversation. We lost and the result happened, but its fine to take into consideration how thin the line is between wonder and hysteria.
I wish you luck with this thread.
Hoping for all our sakes it doesn’t bite you in the ass in a few weeks like my threads do.
May god have peace with you sir

The club are so incompetent that he could end up staying longer than three games, can never rule it out because they are so clueless.
Even before this season it was clear Ole had used up all his limited abilities, there was nothing more to come just more of the same with different players which was never going to be enough. Now he’s just a lame duck waiting for more bad results or club to find a successor.

No. The difference is those were just blips during seasons of generally playing well. The recent blip was more than expected among several seasons of mediocrity.
There's a difference between positivity and delusional. Please don't get the two mixed up.
How did I know there would be a Fergie analogy in the op?
No I am not happy. Any other irrelevant comment?
Bless ya!
"Ferguson also wore shoes"
I don’t think drawing comparisons between domestic abuse and a man doing his his job as a football manager is particularly tasteful or appropriate. Maybe that’s just me.
If the manager, coaching team and player manage to hit back right now and perform as hell until Christmas, I think the OP is into something.
To be realistic…. I think it’s to late and it’s only matter of time before Ole leave his post. The match against Liverpool was a critical point. If the result was opposite, the boost would’ve been the other way and PL trophy next.

The start of something good indeed then.
yeah, the beginning of a true shitshow/circus.
8/10 WUM attempt
It’s clear the ole is still in a job because the board do not trust the Available alternatives ie conte, they obviously know ole isn’t the answer but are prepared to stick with him until they have an appointment lined up, now this called be during the next international break or longer, we are in some sort of managerial purgatory.
I have to waste one of my 3 newbie posts, just to say...No. That's some wishful thinking and mighty faith you have in fate repeating itself.
And how many times in recent years we've been in these shitty situations and it never amount to anything and we never bounced back? Optimism based on literally nothing. At least it's funny I guess.
Likewise there is a difference between Realism and Negativity.
no.
