I'm surprised no one has picked up on the Pogba thing
Maybe Fergie will take over for the next 3 gamesSeriously having no manager for the next 3 games would be better than keeping Ole on.
I thought I would never say this but Fergie is now hurting the club directly.

We’re approaching the end.
give 0 shits about Pogba tbh and I am a big fan of Pogba, the footballer but this is bigger and more important. i don't know why people don't realise that this season is more than salvageable under the right management!I'm surprised no one has picked up on the Pogba thing

How do Ole fans even come up with this nonsense?
Honestly, if our options are limited to just Conte or to keep on Ole until a good replacement (Ten Haag) is identified and agreed with, I see the latter as the lesser of two evils.
Of course that depends on whether or not Ole still have the trust of the squad. If he doesn't then litteraly anyone else with a coaching badge would be a better option.
Straw man at this point.How do Ole fans even come up with this nonsense?
It's not just that, it's been the constant leaks since yesterday.
He gets a 12 month extention on his new contract.What if theres a draw
so we win the next 3 games and he stays? Unbelievable especially after yesterday
true. This'll only lead to Ole playing it even more safe than he has done before. Which will lead to the same horrible football and more McFred starts and ultimately the same bad resultsHow the feck can you run a club like that, man. Having a sword hanging over a manager and assessing him on a game-by-game basis over the course of three games...
Feck off. You can't seriously do that. It's not fair on the players, the fans, and it's certainly not fair on Ole. When you've got to the point where you're saying "win this game, and you get some credit back" it's already gone. You can't recover from that FFS.

I honestly think he'll be here for quite a-bit longer, unfortunately. We're going to revert to the most dour, defensive football imaginable, as he's in survival mode, and will only be looking out for his own interests i.e. keeping his job.
Spurs are an absolutely ideal opponent to implement this style of football against. They too will be playing defensive shite, so Ole will hope to catch them on the counter.
This situation is utterly fecking ridiculous. The rest of the footballing world must be in disbelief that we are actually this much of a shambles. I thought I would be able to endure the rest of his tenure, but the last two league games have been an absolute disgrace. I'm still in disbelief of what's gone on the last few days. My Liverpool supporting mates in thw WhatsApp chat haven't even been gloating or taking the piss - I think they feel sorry for our sad state of a club. That in itself is fecking sad.
So are you saying this is Carrick and McKenna vs Klopp? What chance have we got?I wonder if the issue is more to do with the coaches not being able to implement Ole's ideas? As far as I understand, Phelan and Ole watch training from the sidelines (like Ferguson did), and leave the training to Carrick and McKenna, who are both learning on the job. Do they have the know-how to put into effect Ole's plans? I don't know anything about what our training looks like, but I've seen snippets of Guardiola conducting training sessions based on the model of football he wants played and I wonder if Carrick and McKenna are able to do the same. Ferguson outsourced this to others e.g. Queiroz. Perhaps we need a specialist coach and let Ole focus on man management, which I would guess is more in line with his skill set.
So he's gone then, right?
It reads like "we need more time to decide on what to do next" to me rather than Ole having a chance to save his job. The board will know how the players are feeling and they've been through it before with past managers. Once the manager loses the majority of the dressing room it's game over.So he's gone then, right?
Jesus Christ. Martin Edwards is there too.
We know how this is gonna end. It worked for Fergie, so it will work for Ole, just give him another three years.
We are a pathetic joke of a club. The worst run club in modern football.
Bang on mate. Conte is low on my list, I’m not a fan of his style but he’s a winner and sometimes all you can do in life is pick the best possible and hope for the best. My thoughts are for once we should get a modern, attacking manager like Ten Hag in.
That said, I’ll be right behind Conte regardless if that’s what we get and I hope the likes of @Wumminator will be also, the last thing we need is fans crying they didn’t get their favourite manager in or that “he doesn’t know the United way” blah blah blah.
If he can’t get us looking like a drilled unit by the Summer, I’ll be asking questions. Same would be said if it was Ten Hag.
Weirdly enough, it seems they've gone for a high press approach from HT at Leicester to the Liverpool game. Apart from the counter attack style. Don't know why the change as made from 4231 to 424 the last 2 games but the change that they made, didn't work and didn't work to a catastrophic level too.
(Side note, it seems the Luckhurst/Ducker threads have been merged into here)
true. This'll only lead to Ole playing it even more safe than he has done before. Which will lead to the same horrible football and more McFred starts and ultimately the same bad results
