what should we praise Ole for seriously? Couple of purple patches here and there and a 2nd place finish with a 500m+ team?Literally nothing to do with what I said, as you well know.
What, them playing in a shit league nobody watches is a positive as well now?How many of Ajax's players have you heard of prior to that game?
I think some people may have given him credit for getting the odd story from agents.I guess people should respect Castles as a legitimate source now then.
Don’t worry, as soon as a Zidane type figure comes in, these guys will be packing their bags. Wonderful players in their time but really have got very lucky as jobs for the boys these last few years.Looks like it’s going to be Fletcher and Carrick then, I’m just praying it’s only for one game until we find a more suitable option.
Fletcher ? What the feck has he done so far that warrant an interim position. And what is his position again ? Technical Director ? Has any technical director ever become interim manager ? Seems so random and stupid
The media are pretty much putting 2+2 together here.Why do we brief the media, why don't we simply do it?
No matter what Oles recent performance has been, it's a poor sequence of events to act on that way and for what? Just to make out that you're doing something? Just do it!

To be honest we accepted worse than him so I don't think that would be accurate.Some of the United fan journos should start putting out articles about how supporters will not accept Rodgers.
Well it kind of is. Do you know the last time a team outside the big leagues - England, Spain, Germany, France and Italy made it to the CL SF's?What, them playing in a shit league nobody watches is a positive as well now?

Why is that a good reason? We are talking about a matter of hours. Is it really advantageous to tell everybody what you're in the process of doing across that kind of timescale?Because we are a company first, not a football club first?

Why’s Carrick being spared then? I guess he wasn’t technically Ole’s appointment, but then neither was McKenna
What about the rest of the team?
Where did I say he should be praised?what should we praise Ole for seriously? Couple of purple patches here and there and a 2nd place finish with a 500m+ team?
Sometimes they are in a league of their own, so no worriesJuventus
Edit: Thought you didn't include Italy
Impressive., manages a great team with with not much pressure however.
Lopetegui is currently Sevilla manager. The board really are moronic if they have identified him as an interim option.
Writings been on the wall, if not today we would have most likely lost on Tuesday and/or next week.I think some people may have given him credit for getting the odd story from agents.
The bizarre thing about today is he's proven to have legitimate sources at board level. He's been saying on his podcast for weeks that Glazers weren't happy with performances given level of investment, and the decision to sack Ole was a matter of when. I don't tend to believe anyone who claims that level of inside knowledge but he's clearly got connections.
Well this is what you said:Where did I say he should be praised?
People are happy enough to do that for Ole, so why not?
That might be more believable if we didn't make such a hash of other sackings as well. There's a bit of a precedent for it. I'd suggest it shouldn't be that difficult for senior members at Man Utd to be able to contact our football manager for a discussion and to make a subsequent decision without the possibility of leaks. It's either incompetence, or simple poor behaviour in my opinion.We might not be briefing them, could be someone leaking it too.
That I agree with, but ultimately how many Managers come across a job with as much pressure as United? Very few. If we're looking at purely from a results perspective, he'd be my 2nd candidate only behind Zidane (who clearly doesn't really want to join us). The issue with ten Hag is that he probably wouldn't jump ship during the season so would require a caretaker initially.
I desperately want Carrick and McKenna gone ASAP.
The new manager needs to ship them all out and bring his own team in.
I mean after that result today even a journo with no sources would be talking about crisis meetings and thoughts of sackings. You don’t need leaks to guess what’s going on.That might be more believable if we didn't make such a hash of other sackings as well. There's a bit of a precedent for it.

Dear fecking god.Well this is what you said:
so you need to elaborate then, because I barely see any positives out of those three years wasted under him.
I don't tend to believe anyone who claims that level of inside knowledge but he's clearly got connections.
Same here, man.
Those 2 were responsible for a major part of the coaching and our coaching has been dreadful.
Why do we brief the media, why don't we simply do it?

We always seem to make as much of a botch of the sackings as we do the appointments. How hard can it be for figures associated with one of the biggest sporting institutions on the planet to make a simple decision and announce it when done...
To be fair, I'd expect Ole has been spoken to even if they haven't sorted the final deals of his payoff etc. I don't think he's waiting in the dark reading the media reports. It's possible because I believe it happened to Moyes, but I think they're conscious of the criticism they received for that debacle. Custis suggested Ole had already said goodbye to the players.We might not be briefing them, could be someone leaking it too.
How would Ronaldo or Mendes know what time our board meeting was scheduled for, the purpose of it, or the result of said board meeting? You think Woodward informs Ronaldo of his discussions with the Glazers?He's got a connection to Mendes.
Ronaldo, in other words.
