If we finish below Conte's Spurs and Arteta's Arsenal...
That's how you do it. Utd board you paying attention?
So that's both Spurs and Newcastle looking for new managers. Both want elite managers if possible. Hope we dont miss out on someone because of our dithering over Ole (who needs to go).

feck
Nice one Ole, do Pep next please
Yep, go through several different managers in the summer, offer one a job then take it away after you find out he made offensive comments then appoint your 6th or 7th choice because everyone else turned you down then get offered £150m for a player who wants to leave but refuse it. Yep sounds like the United board should be listening. Surprised they haven't knighted Levy already.
I thought he would've been good for them. Maybe they need a roster shake up too
They're just 5 points behind top 4(which surely is their ultimate goal) and it's only November 1st, so my guess is that he's lost both the dressing room and the fans. Alternatively, Conte made himself available and the temptation was too much for Levy.
Before this season started you could make a case for Tottenham having the best attack in the league on paper. The fact that they score less than 1 goal per game and that only Norwich have scored fewer goals is pretty embarrassing. But Kane has also been genuinely shite. I really doubt that a better manager would have made a difference when it comes to him. He may turn a corner now, but his terrible form had to end sometime anyways.
Nuno was probably not the right man for the job, but it was a terribly difficult job to begin with.

+1.
Conte might be a good coach and i'm sure he will make Spurs better than they currently are, but hes no magician either and unless his arrival means Kane finds new motivation, im not sure how much they will improve really
He'll go to Barca or Newcastle and we'll end up with Poch when PSG have binned him.
I’m in the Ole out club aswell, but to be fair Ole has been here 3 years, has two top 3 finishes in a row and assembled our best squad in ages, so I get why the club has reservations about sacking him. So I don’t think comparing Ole’s situations to Nuno’s isn’t the same. Besides the options available aren’t that compelling.
Agreed. Lots of overreacting on here. We are in a bad situation and Conte is a good coach but he never would of worked out for us. Good things come to those who wait. Ten Hag would fit us like a glove.
Imagine being jealous about how Tottenham have better standards than us. Crazy
He is the best candidate, the club need to go all out and then have some backups lined up. Will they do it? Probably not as they're incapable of running the club in an efficient way so you're probably right. We end up with a Poch or Rodgers...
All the people saying Tottenham are acting like a big club make me laugh. They sacked Jose right before a final, messed about in the summer and got the 8th choice, then sack him after a few months.
If the summer is anything to go by, half the managers in Europe will have just turned their phones off after reading the news.

Decisive action would've been selling Kane and using the money to get a better/more balanced team.
Levy's decisive action sacked Poch. Levy's decisive action (apparently) meant he backed out of Fonseca for Gattuso then backed out of Gattuso.
If copying Levy is an option, I'm glad we don't.
It's really weird to see a club like Spurs being more ambitious than us. They sack the manager even though they're just 2 points behind us 
Don't agree with the inference. Under Levy, Spurs have now had 11 managers and won nothing much. Not won the League since 1961. Continuity of manager is what gives you success unless you can afford to buy the best players in the world. For us, SMB and SAF built football success because they were given time.

When did sacking managers become synonymous with ambition?
The club has made so many terrible calls the last couple of seasons and this looks more like throwing Nuno under the bus to save their own hides
Conte and Levy looks like a match made in hell.
I'm not sure why people think Ten Hag is the right fit for us? He's the "dream fit" sure assuming he can replicate Ajax's style here, but our structure behind the manager and at board level isn't changing. So the ideal fit for Manchester United is to find a manager that can be successful regardless. Antonio Conte was that perfect man IMO. Sure he might get pissed off over time and leave, but he's successful in the meantime, and that's about all we can hope for. Like this we're just trying to copy some other clubs but without the structure behind which doesn't work IMO.
Spuds have higher standards than Man Utd everyone. What a day
Managers getting sacked usually aren't sacked for performing to expectations, aren't they?
You do understand that we have a very real chance of missing top 4 at this point? Spurs, even with a bad manager of Ole's calibre, are just 2 points behind us. You think Conte wouldn't be able to get them to top 4? It's insane to me how so many people want this club to fail just so they can sit on their high horse of sticking to the "United Way" or whatever nonsense they've conjured in response to mediocrity.
Any truth in that?
PE teacher will get another crack at the whip next season then, since I doubt we’d go for Zidane.
This club make me sick.
This club make me sick.
Do you even listen to yourself?... already having a panic that we are missing out on top 4 and Spurs are going to leap frog everyone because Conte the messiah is coming in. The epitome of a bed wetter.
It's nothing to do with a high horse. I just don't cry because of some hypothetical situation I have imagined in my head.
We’re still dithering from the week before
We wont
Spurs have no doubt been bad this season, but 5 points behind top 4, 10 games into the season? I dont know what ambitions and goals they have, but they have hardly been stellar the past few years, and this year they play in the fecking UEFA Conference league so what did they expect really?
Then you have the whole Kane mess. He has surely downed tools and/or his body is shot, but they were fecking mental to turn down poentially 100 million for 28 year old, with a skechy injury record who on top of that has wanted to leave for years
Nuno is a decent manager imo. He took Wolves up and made them into a solid midtable club, while having many of their best talents poached every transfer window. Conte is no doubt a step up, and even though i am sure he will improve them, i honestly dont think hes going to turn them into a force either.
Also, as i said: Conte + Levy? That cant end well
And there's zero indication Ten Hag even wants to come to United, or that United have concrete interest in him. Its just a pipe dream. Most credible sources have pointed towards Rodgers as the possible replacement, because he's british and wont cause the board much problems.
We'll be dithering until the end of the season. Then have no plan who to appoint.
If Conte goes there it will be bad for us, at least in the short term. Let’s hope we can get to January while still in touch with top 4 and get the needed midfielder. Then do everything to get Ten Hag for the summer.
I don't know what ambitions and goals they have, but evidently they're higher than ours. Sack a manager they believe is underperforming and then go get a world class one while we sit with Ole and HOPE for a top 4 place despite spending 500 million. This tells a lot our club, not Spurs. If Ole by some miracle got the job at Madrid and Bayern, club we should look up to as to how they are run, he'd have been shown the door ages ago.
Yeah totally. What's really cool and macho is getting dicked 5-0 by Liverpool at Old trafford. And we have top reds like you defending and enabling that, because its "the united way". Thats so badass. Because feck the fans for having some ambition and wanting a world class manager at our club. Total bed wetting behaviour for sure.

Yes, look at the loser fans crying because their club is the laughing stock of football. Rather be a alpha like you who laughs at their club being run by a bunch of clowns.
I wanted Conte at Arsenal ffs
