When you're a manager with Conte's pedigree you're either wanted or you're not. You don't sit and wait while someone decides if you're got enough for him.

We quite clearly tried desperately to land Conte but he turned us down. He was likely holding out for the Spurs job knowing Nuno was on his way out.
Why is this thread necessary? Exactly the same as countless other threads.
My chakras have now staged a walk out after that suggestion.
No it’s not, try reading it again.
….but thank you for your well constructed thoughtful contribution.
He is the undisputedly the best manager available at the moment. Zidane is also available but wouldnt consider us and doesnt have a record of delivering trophies at different teams
Well, yeah. Your point was that he hasn't been backed as much as Chelsea managers, which I think was a false point, considering the money he has spent.
And here is one of Ole: Maguire, AWB, James, Bruno, DVB, Telles, Ronaldo, Cavani, Varane, Sancho, and a few expensive teenagers he does not play.
while Ole had a squad that had finished above Chelsea the season he took it. Containing back then the best GK in the world, Pogba, promising talents like Rashford and Martial to name a few.
Even without taking into account the net spent (cause Chelsea sell one million players per year), Ole still spent more than Chelsea managers in his time, as I mentioned in my other post. It was not significantly more, like it is the case with the net spent, but it was still more.
I do not think that Ole has bough well. 450m euros spent, I would expect much more than this. 80m for Magure or 55m for AWB, are hardly money spent well. Where are the Robinsons, Salahs or Fabinhos under Ole, players who were not yet mainstream and who performed very well. That is what I think is spent well, what Klopp did, build a top squad under a very constraint budget. What Ole did, was going for the most obvious choices, and overpaying for them. And in case of Sancho, then not playing him.
At best, he has been OK/decent in the transfer market. Which is still better than his predecessors, to be fair.
The United way
They’ve been pretty shite this season, and he’s bottled top 4 two seasons running before that. He’s an alright to good level manager, yeah, but he’s so far from what our competitors have managing them.
The NI Ole.

"used to support united"?
Are people thinking we’ll go after him during the international break if these next 2 games go tits up or wait till the end of the season and then try?
For me Ten Hag is the obvious candidate but I would still sack Ole in the international break regardless if we can get him immediately or at the end of the season.
Rodgers I don't really understand, bottled it at Liverpool, bottles it each season now on missing top 4 from strong positions and has started this season poorly.
Don't really see why the board love Poch either, another manager who hasn't won anything meaningful. I also don't think his football is that good to watch but may be on my own there.

I think as long as Ole doesn't get battered by City he is safe. A draw in Italy and losing by fewer than 2 goals to City and I think he will have the season.
Completely disagree, he should be well out the door but I just don't think the club have the will to do it. I also see how strongly GNev, promotes him getting the season and I'm convinced he has inside info.
I support Manchester United not this or that manager. I suspect you would talk differently if Ole wasn't a fellow Norwegian
I think that he is already safe and had always been
The point might be the same but this one uses different words.
I think this place might burn down when Ten Hag goes to Barca.
Ronaldo, Cavani and Varane aint bad.
But your title is literally "used to support", so you're saying that you don't anymore. Which is it?
Arent they after Xavi?
It's too late. If the board wanted Conte, they should have sacked Ole last week. There was zero reason to wait. It's not like Ole has only been here a short time. He's had plenty and we've seen what his team looks like. I wouldn't blame Conte for signing for Spurs and not waiting for us to do what needs to be done.
We're screwed now. There is nobody else available that we can get. The names people talk about already have jobs, and highly likely won't leave them. We may as well stick with Ole until the end of the season and get rid then.

Dude chill. Just ignore the threads that make no sense to you. No use bellyaching about something you can't control. As a fellow supporter of this frustrating club that should be something we're used to by now.
You really can't think that Conte's appointment or somebodies either is going to guarantee Top 4.

Cheers mate, should do but this place winds me up sometimes with the toxicity.
Nothing is garaunteed. All you can do is give yourself the best chance possible.
If we had a competent manager to start the season, it would be absolutely unthinkable that we'd finish outside the top 4 with the players we have.
Maybe you are right but both City, Chelsea and the Dippers are pretty strong so we can certainly say that all those teams predict a top 4 finish for themselves. If we are to assume that our season is going to be that bad because of Ole it is safe to assume that we just need to be better than Arsenal, West Ham or Spurs. And we don't have City's or Chelsea's squad just the first 11
You do know that not all tags are gospel truth right?
It's one of Rodgers Potter Poch and Ten Hag. But if we sack Ole mid season it's only between Potter and Rodgers since Poch and Ten Hag won't be available till end of the season.
I'd go with Potter ahead of Rodgers if we sack Ole soon. Rodgers Is currently underperforming and appointing a Liverpool reject while they have arguably the best manager in the world just doesn't sit well with me. With Potter at least he's still an unknown entity at top level and hes got potential. If he fails we can sack him end of the season and go for Ten Hag or Poch

We will get a caretaker if Ole leaves before the end of the season
Conte was the only one I think we’d have considered as a permanent appointment before May
Spurs fans are happy now but in 18 months they will again be looking for a manager. While we'll still have Ole.
(Oh God! )
(Oh God! )
Yeah I feel exactly the same way as you because there is no forward planning at this club, at least if we showed some guts and announced the new guy mid season like City did with Pep then could feel some sense of optimism. Sadly that won't be happening because this club are too worried about hurting an ex players feelings and will hold back.

The obvious choice for the recovery is that just put out there by Harry Redknapp the other day. Add Roy Keane to the coaching staff. Not fire Ole and make him manager. Roy would never accept that. We have a poor situation in midfield, and we're not strong at the captain position. Forget Potter, whoever that is, forget Hassenhutl and all that lot above. In our greatest period, we had the best midfielder in the world, and the best captain in any sport on earth. He is still there, and it boggles the mind that it took this long for someone to see the answer right under our noses.
Roy may seem harsh and frightening to lesser players, but does anyone seriously think Ronaldo, and Fernandez and Varane wouldn't want him in the dressing room and in the technical area? What winner doesn't want a winner beside them? Roy Keane on the coaching staff is the answer. Ollie has said many times that if he had choices, Roy Keane would have been the first player every time on the team sheet. Now he has the choice. Make it.

Well now that Conte is gone, I do hope we try some exciting young managers .There isn't any world class managers available. Just go crazy and get some hipster.
Ten Hag, Hassenhuttl, Potter , Amorim, Gallardo, Rose, Rodgers.

Forget his Liverpool connection. What exactly has he achieved to be considered? Genuine question? Has been bottling top 4 for sometime now. People would say that Leicester aren't a top 4 team but the other competitors were so bad those years and he could have actually sealed it. Won FA cup ? . Means nothing , Martinez also has one.
I am going to try and treat the rest of this season like the second half of that god awful 15/16 under LVG, maybe one day we will get a manager we can all get onside with but right now not feeling any optimism of that happening soon
He's twice the manager Ole is, and that's being kind to Ole.
I don't want him either, but let's not violate the man by comparing him to Ole
Very true. The weirdest feeling that you love your club more than anything and very well know that we will challenge all the teams in the league under a semi decent manager. Yet, having to witness the slow death over the course of season with false dawns every 5 matches.
Yeah that's exactly how I feel and still to this day have no clue how LVG survived December 2015
