rewarding mediocrity is basically our tagline these days.
His last gift to United fans, nothing epitomizes the Glazers' failure with the 1st team more than the current manager.
You just named two clubs which are not elite. Try naming actual elite clubs theres a pattern.
Ed woodwards last gift to Manchester United.
Giving Jones a 5 year deal (was it 5?) is a better call than keeping Ole for another 3 years.
Since at least Jones do not stop our other defenders playing when he is injured.
Having Ole stops us trying any world class managers that could take us to the title.
I think people are once again forgetting that we were expected to barely scrape top 4 this season after a very underwhelming summer of playing games with Dortmund and ending up with Diallo and Pellestri, Cavani on a free, and VDB in the last minute. Ole raised those expectations throughout the season with what he had. We were then handed a group of death in the CL and once again the pessimism kicked in, yet at one point we looked like we were going to walk it. The goal posts seemingly keep moving further as the season progresses.
What constitutes a title challange for you? Because I see people say this a lot about next season. For me, it means going into the last week of the season with a chance of winning the league if the result goes our way. Not being within 4 points of whoever is first in January then falling away.
How long did Nico Kovac last at Bayern?
What happened after the point we looked like we were going to walk it?
I agree with you both, sad times really.
Glazers really have to make a statement of intent. Either a world class striker or a world class RW.
A top CB as well.
A Midfielder as well.

We are 6 points and a peno shootout away from what the “special one” acclaimed
Expectations were raised, and people became disappointed/melted down when we didn't
No worries mate. All on the same side. "Grace under pressure."
Yeah this season was not a title challenge (although it was an improvement). A real title challenge for me is being within touching distance at the business end, basically the same as yours.
I think we did challenge for the title this year, but blew it in February/late January. Thus a pretty poor challenge.
Holy shit. Not even one or one + one and see how it goes on, no let's throw 3 fecking years contract at him. Our clowns in charge have no limits when it comes to idiotic long term contracts. We already went on few weeks ago and extended Bailly's one by 3 years, or the idiotic 4 years contract Jones got a year or two ago ? Or..or..or..
Fecking clowns.
I didn’t defend anything. Just pointing out the merits of being accurate and honest when debating a point. I don’t think this is where we should be, but the fact is he’s improved our position since he took over. A similar season to this and I think we should part ways.
You can only beat what’s in front of you. The rest I answered above I think. How you can argue 19 is closer than 12 is beyond me, though. Shocking stuff really.
Clever spin.
That doesn't mean there is no long term approach
Yeah, football doesn't work like that. But it is 6 points, one shootout and one more trophy to be precise.
And when you mention the "one whos name is not allowed to say here"; he would have won yesterday's game in 90 minutes. In ugly way but he would won it
True and yet we couldn’t beat the Spain’s 7th best team.
I don’t know what you are trying to argue? Ole’s bang average. Anyone arguing that good luck to you.
Jose would have won. He ain’t losing to Emery in a final. Respect!
Important to note mourinho won the Europa while finishing 6th. Don't mean to undermine achievement but trying to compete on all fronts is tougher
Not sure how that can be construed as a title challange, personally.
Well I feel if you are first or second after half the season then is a challenge.
Leicester last year did almost challenge a bit too, but Liverpool just too good and they declined like crazy near the end.
To have a good challenge you should be within 6 points of the leader with 5-6 games to go at least.
Ed clearly screwing the fans until the bitter end. Bailly, Ole. What's next Lingard renewal and Jones extension.
Well, we'll have to agree to disagree here. By your own admission, our "challenge" was up with 4 months of the season left to play. That's not a title challenge in my mind.
I don't think even Fergie got long 3-yr contracts. IIRC he had to renew each year? It wasn't really up for debate though, we were never gonna sack or release Fergie.
Anyhow, I feel Ole deserves one more year in general, but I think we might be close to seeing the end of this cycle. His performance yesterday still gives me the jitters and doesn't exactly fill me with hope for the immediate future.
The behind the scenes work has been good at least.

At the time when we did challenge many thought we could do it. I had hope we could win it etc. I guess you have that before the season too, but it did feel as if we had a great chance.
Particular when KDB got injured and City had some big games to come. Spurs, Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal. We had some easy teams like Sheffield, West Brom etc so I thought we could be first at the time KDB came back.
I mean I'd like him to stay for another year but giving him a contract would be one hell of a dumb move. It's hardly like he's getting offers elsewhere 
Yeah, i don't get the contract situation here. Take aside whether you want him gone or to remain, surely it makes sense to wait. He aint going anywhere. He's not getting poached by anyone. No disrespect to Ole, but i can't imagine many players around the world wanting reassurances that he's staying before they join (like they would with Guardiola, for instance).
If it's true, it makes zero sense. And again, it's got nothing to do with whether you want him here or not.

Well deserved but pointless if they don't back him heavily in the summer.
We dominated that game?
We can moan about managers all we want but under this board we are just another arsenal.
