To each their own and all that but...really?
We decided not to decide. I'm guessing that's just bad English but I wouldn't be surprised if we literally "decided not to decide" during the meeting.
Love him as a player. Hate him as a manager. Respect him as a human. It’s time to end it.
Still no Comunicado Oficial. Joke club
I’m so torn. He of course has to go, and logically I know that, but the thought of seeing the headline ‘ole sacked’ fills me with so much dread and I’m going to be absolutely heartbroken for the man! Absolute legend to united regardless.
Fair point. Also makes the Board look like planks if they brief this out and don't do anything.
If they had any sense they would take this as an opportunity to actually do what they seemingly were about to when Ole was hired as a caretaker: look long and hard at the structure, hire a proper director of football, replace Woodward with someone who is more suited to making football related decisions on the highest level...and then leave it to the new management to appoint the next "head coach".
I don't think they have any sense, though. Nor any nerve, for that matter. The likeliest outcomes are that they don't do anything (hoping that Ole will somehow be able to turn it around - which obviously won't mean anything better than a possible top 4 "challenge" at this stage) - or that they'll make a panicky short-sighted appointment of one kind or another.
What? Its a comment on Varane.
Agreed. A good wank might relieve the tension.
looking ahead too the only game id feel confident of winning would be against norwich. No victories at all in november gives a whole new meaning to No Nut November
Sky are reliable in that they'll report the information United give them.
United have been criticised in the past for leaking sackings before the manager had even been told. This "undecided" story is just an attempt to quiet down the media so United can announce it themselves before the press confirm it.
I'm still confident he'll be gone by Monday.
Still no sack?
I can understand the Glazers reluctance to not rush things. This clearly shows they were fully behind Ole beforehand in the fact they seem to have no contingencies in the event the manager is failing. Whats really the telling point is what the owners saw in Solskjaer to have so much belief. I'd understand if this was a Tuchel, Klopp or Pep riding out a bad storm much like Liverpool last season but that's not the case with Ole.
« Can we give Ole and the team a break next week ? »
« We have two games next week »
« Ok, we will take a break then, see you next week »
Announcement tomorrow me thinks.
Remind me not to shake your hand
I can't disagree with any of that. We don't seem to have a plan or strategy, so it's going to make it harder to entice big managers to come to the club. They would only be coming for the name, rather than our aims at the moment. I'm not even convinced with what the aims of the board are. We don't act like we're trying to win league titles, so maybe the aim is to secure us a top 4 position. Maybe that's all the board want, and to keep the money coming in.
Looks like the wrong decision made yet again.
On what planet is it disrespectful?
They are the four who are (or were until today) all in favour of keeping the faith with Ole.
To include sir Alex in that I’d presume that unfortunately you are too young to remember. Sad really.
Time to bring in Stevie G, 100% win rate at Villa.
Still undecided 
From thinking we're the worst ran top club , I am now more icined to believe we are the worst ran club , big or small.
The obvious correct decision is to sack Ole right now. But who manages the squad against Villarreal on Tuesday?
It could be a Benitez type situation when he was our manager, everyone hated the guy.
Completely agree with everything you have just said there
I wouldn’t pay attention to those ‘undecided‘ reports. The club loves that PR spin. They probably saw that someone got a scoop of that meeting and gave no comment on it when someone asked.
The fact they seemingly met so soon after the game today is a sure sign that somethings going to happen in my opinion.

We need a coach who can send MAGUIRE to his farm !
I just don't see what options the Glazers have at this point. Putting in Bodger is going to be a fast route to failure. And when he does fail, he will be the opposite of Ole in terms of shielding them from criticism. He is the mirror image of a club legend - a Liverpool reject.
So they are staring at their lack of road with no feckin idea what to do. Probably have to go Bodger in the end regardless.

even as someone who was here for SAF time it is starting to be similar to how we have to view Ole. If we have to separate Ole the player from Ole the manager, we have to start separating SAF the manager from SAF the managerial influencer. If he has thrown his support so heavily behind moyes and now ole, he is holding this club back. This club is still trying to recreate that magic that just doesnt exist anymore.
The uplift in knowing he is gone would probably be enough for most players to get us the result
Give it to Giggsy till (the end of the season) Wednesday morning*
seemingly there isnt one set of balls amongst the board. Suppose no sack makes that inevitable
This is most likely it.
Although, I don't think it's exclusive to United with the press getting information about managers being sacked before the club announces it. That seems like something that happens to most Premier League sides. Although, maybe I've got that wrong. I do agree that it should come from the club first. It's the decent thing to do. Although it isn't working with Ole right now, there's still a right way to conduct ourselves.
Can’t wait till monday…
I don’t think that is a lesson in itself (LVG and Jose proved that).
Keane would be a very entertaining disaster. To be entertained is good with me. And I want someone who would set the pitch on fire or whatever it takes to get the game abandoned rather than lose 5-0 to the dippers. Can’t see us actually winning under Keane but I would love it anyway.
That's why i found it astounding that people happy a "structure" is in place, and we've "improved organizationally" leaps and bound since Fergie's era.
I see clues that we're actually going backward. Old pals in positions, backward scouting who can only go as far as names on papers, indecisive and slow when making big decisions.
