I do understand what you are saying but I feel the ones I mentioned we Could have sold. They were wanted by other clubs.

Very few managers would reject the Man Utd role if they're not already at a top job.
Yeah but we need to sit down and think about the way we want the team to play and hire a manager who will do that instead of just picking big names.
When Klopp joined Liverpool his way of playing was noticeable very quick he just lacked the players. We need to do the same in future
This has been the biggest screw-up the board has made. They have failed to chose a playing style / formation. They sign all these amazing players that suit different styles and formations. The whole club feels so disjointed and unorganised. I don't blame Ole but I also don't think he is anything more than an average manager. I happily root for him for nostalgic reasons. The club need to really focus on the football side but it seems they are only interested in the commercial side.
I remember reading that quote a season or two seasons ago. It is an old quote and we were very much fighting for champions league qualification when Matic said that, please stop passing it on as recent bit of info.
Protecting players from what? And why ?
Why would he be protecting?
More like he's accepted what they are and he loves it which is worrying.
He's out of his depth.
This is it LVG was a disaster but he play possession football so the thing to do was hire another manager who played possession football but hopefully more attacking but no we hire Jose he has to sign players for his rigid style .
All successful clubs in the last few years either hire a manager that has a style and they buy into it like City and Liverpool or else continuesly sack managers like Real, Chelsea or PSG.
We don’t sack til top 4 is gone and we don’t have a set way too play
And who’s not at the top that we should be looking at, who is also a huge improvement on what we’ve currently got? Remembering that any manager that has never managed an elite team is going to take 6 to 12 months to bed in.
When it comes to selling players i think the managers involvment is fairly limited really. He can give the board a signal whether or not a player is part of his plans or not
I dont disagree though, we could and should have offloaded one or more of those players that you mentioned
Pep didn't build the Bayern side, what are you one about? He inherited a treble winning squad and made it perform even more consistent in the league and clearly worse in the CL knockout rounds.
Let's all get behind Ole and Utd and push them over the line. Yes Ole is hopeless but a team is more than that. Utd can be pushed to success by using a collective will. I actually believe that and there is enough talent in the squad to do it. Just support the team and forget about the manager.
I am a Rangers supporter. I started to follow Utd because of Sir Alex. He had a will of iron. The man would not bend or break. Ole is a bit of a fanny but he is trying to channel the will of Ferguson into this team. Ole has done well up to this point. He probably won't make it but he has done his part.

I usually put much of the blame on the Glazers but Ole has been backed more than any manager post Sir Alex so it's impossible for me to blame the Glazers this time. Ole needs to show he is capable of winning something or he has to go as simple as that.
You don't need a top manager to get a huge improvement over Ole. I'll even take Rodgers over him, considering what he has done on a much lower budget than what Ole has with us.
Or maybe Ole thinks McFred is the way forward which is why we haven't looked at alternatives. Don't know what's worse from the 2 scenarios.
Leicester have a transfer strategy that allows them to find these players that fit their system. We just ask the manager who he wants and buy said player. Leicester will continue to do that after Rodgers and you'll be saying the same thing about the next manager
The problem is that top managers are already at top jobs.
In that case why did we buy DVB?
There will always be soon to be top managers who aren't.
You don't actually believe this, do you?
I really agree with this and have always felt like that about listening to him. I remember RVP made a comment about finding it unusual that Ole smiles after defeats and in response Ole made some super strange comment about 'he took my shirt number and that's all I'm letting him take'. Was just bizarre and made him look kind of dumb tbh.
I also find his interview responses to be somewhat bizarre at times as well. I think even Talksport brought it up once when they played a voice clip of him speaking about something and Durham didn’t understand what he was saying and nor did I, and I said “eh?” in the exact same tone and exact same time as Durham said it.
I wish I knew, and so does he probably
Yes but at this moment in time there isn't any. I know that Ole is not a top class manager but we are stuck with him for now so hopefully he can win tonight.
To me this is more bizarre than the Bebe transfer. At least Bebe got his opportunities to show that he was not good enough. DVB never got the opportunities.
Ole proving us once more that he IS a the wheel..
Club have to be proactive. We aren't heading anywhere. That much is clear.
Good subs - still another altogether muddled and poor performance.
Magical second half. This is a manager who can inspire and give a good half-time talk.
Horrendous and disjointed. Again.
Nothing more to say than that.

Huh?
Tell me they don’t play for him.
Good subs tonight. Something to build on now and improve that overall performance level.

Prolongs the inevitable, but that performance should send alarm bells ringing. Play like that against a decent side and we'll get battered.
come on man even I don’t believe that. The crowd were immense tonight.Good result but the performance was poor. Need to improve.
Another disaster of a performance, though we got away with it.. how we manage to look that incompetent with those players really is something.
The only chance we win anything this season is if Ole goes. He did well enough in his first 2 seasons but it's important to know when to move on - and it's not when your season is in the mud. Do it when we can still salvage something. Because he's gotta go.

No problems. Bad first half. Good second half. Win. Good subs even if they should have come earlier.
This guy is such an awful coach. Thank feck for our quality up front and De Gea, saved our arses today.
My biggest problem is he's absolutely clueless in how to use Ronaldo. Ronaldo barely even get chances for us, the whole team seems to be focused on doing shit crosses instead of trying to create proper chances for Chris, beside at several points Ronaldo was way too far away from the goal it's ridiculous.
The team isn't balanced at all. Tactically on the pitch we look disjointed and awful, and it all steams from the fact that our manager has brought in Ronaldo without having a clue about how to integrate him into the team.

If there’s any ambition at the club, Ole will be sacked sooner rather than later. The result is great, the performance once again very poor & we were lucky to win. If teams could finish their chances, we’d be in serious trouble.
They won't. We are stuck in the worst possible position for Ole. He's not good enough but the squad is in a position where purely down to the quality of the squad, will get him to a position the board deem acceptable
I like Ole but the lack of control is alarming
