Will Ed leaving make Ole beocme tactically competent?
Ed leaving has to be the next step, the new setup can then make a decision on Ole.

If Ole has respect in himself and wants to keep the respect of the fans, then he should step down if nothing changes until December.
Here is another one about what he is actually trying to do. But Looking from my last factual post on fitness, there really isn’t any point.
You can’t educate pork!
But football made easy on YouTube has made som tactical analysis. What he is trying to implement and how he wants to press. It really isn’t that hard to either understand or see. Well, you can’t see it all the time.
Watching it, you will actually understand Ole is a good tactical manager. But we wouldn’t want that..
Yes lads, if not winning against Arsenal, he need to get the sack! Three points behind 4 place rebuilding is unacceptable..
I bet this is what Ed/Glazers are dreading, they now have someone who is relatively cheap, won't complain, who they can pass the blame to, and because of who is will buy him more patience with fans, very different to the expensive Jose who was not willing to sit there taking all the blame.
The best thing Ole could do is resign, and expose the terrible way the club is been run, but he'll solider on, take the blame, all because he doesn't was want to give up been the manager of the club he loves.
You’re trying to enter into a debate of nuance & subjectivity.No I’m not arguing Sanchez has been sufficiently replaced in regards to replacing an ‘underperforming star’ with a ‘star’. If the Dybala rumours turned out true AND we bought Daniel James in, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. I’m more against your position that the loss of Sanchez has inherently impacted the state of our squad. His squad position has been more than adequately filled by James. The actual position that Sanchez could have excelled in our team at his arsenal best was the left wing, slightly the right wing or maybe a false nine. All positions James can arguably play to the level Sanchez played and higher than Sanchez ever played for us (as proven by his effectiveness off the left). The replacement of Sanchez in its importance is negligible to the replacement of Lukaku (more bringing in a backup striker) and Herrera.
I wish Klopp resigned and exposed Liverpool’s board for there incompetence of not getting VVD. I mean they couldn’t keep a clean sheet for nothing.
Klopp has improved Matip, Arnold, Robertson, even Lovren and Henderson. It's a myth that VVD has on his own revolutionised Pool's back-line.I wish Klopp resigned and exposed Liverpool’s board for there incompetence of not getting VVD. I mean they couldn’t keep a clean sheet for nothing.
Ohhh dear.. I can’t read this shit anymore.. I’m taking the day off getting some air. Enjoy your thread of “we have all lost our mind completely”! ( That wasn’t aimed at you Eric!,)Klopp has improved Matip, Arnold, Robertson, even Lovren and Henderson. It's a myth that VVD has on his own revolutionised Pool's back-line.
Ole has improved no one.
Yeah because the two situations are so similar.
Good idea!Ohhh dear.. I can’t read this shit anymore.. I’m taking the day off getting some air. Enjoy your thread of “we have all lost our mind completely”! ( That wasn’t aimed at you Eric!,)
Good post - especially the job description.
Who would want this job now? Look at where the managers are that we've had since Ferguson. With the exception of Van Gaal who was winding down his career anyway, the other two have been irreparably damaged by taking on this job. We will always be a draw because we are a monster club, but anyone is going to think twice (or 3 or 4 times) before taking this on.
As for our fanbase I think they all need to take a look at what we are becoming. As you say above 'Everybody knows X' and 'Everybody knows Y' but actually I don't think they do, otherwise there would be more patience and understanding given towards Ole. We are now the club that hire and fire managers at will - something we all used to look down our nose at when other clubs did it. More than anything else changing our manager so frequently is what is sending this club backwards. We aren't set up for that. It has killed us.
Fir for what purpose? Beating the likes of Rochdale and Astana? Of course, they fecking are. I can't believe we have folks actually debating we don't have the players to dispatch a 17th placed League One side! No one is asking him to beat every team we play, but the minimum expectation is to not clueless when watching us play. Which is exactly what we look like at the moment, even against absolute trash sides. No identity as to what we are trying to do.
Also what's up with 'no manager would do better than Ole with this squad?' do you believe Ole is the best manager in the world? Because best managers get more out of the players than they are capable of. Look at Liverpool under Klopp, Look at us under Fergie.
You as a United fan are completely entitled to your faith, beliefs and opinion. But let's not pretend there are many legitimate things to latch onto for backing Ole apart from blind faith that he'll get it right.
You take out mason mout, jorginho and kante, and replace them with mata, lingard and perriera then in no time lampard will start looking like Ole.
But I agree, as of today lampard looks like a better PL manager than Ole. Football is definitely better.
It's funny how suddenly people are expecting miracles from this squad. Some here still think we have a good squad to finish 3rd. I don't know what they are smoking but it sure must be good.
We are closer to relegation than the top ffs.Here is another one about what he is actually trying to do. But Looking from my last factual post on fitness, there really isn’t any point.

I think many of us (I'll hold my hand up on this one despite advocating against it in the past) placed far too much reliance on results as opposed to true progress. Ole had a terrific run of results but these things can be extremely temporary and both fans and the ownership (they should be the bloody experts), should have seen the sense in focusing on the metrics behind those results. And really while that run was exciting, a lot of it was built around counter attacking, and sometimes really plucky and jammy, football. That we started playing the football we all wanted to see (Cardiff) and moved towards football we did not, was a sign. But while injuries were used as an excuse for the same, it should have been a sign to wait and watch.
But what can you do. I hope it's a lesson from hereon to focus on genuine progress and the underlying metrics indicating that instead of emotion/passion/gets the club/winning record/stature and all that jazz.
We all know where this saga is going, to a dark place.
Problem is, nothing will change. Ole will be sacked and Ed will then have to sell a 8th-10th place Man United, probably minus Pogba, to a new manager. New manager will look at the state of us and say "I'm interested but only if you give me a LOT of money because I need a CDM, a midfielder, a RW, a Pogba replacement and a striker".
Ed will promise him the world, he'll sign and then by the time the window closes we'll have signed 2/5 players that the manager needed and things will go downhill yet again. The new manager will start griping when results start sliding, to protect his own interests, morale will be rock bottom and new manager is fired. Rinse and repeat.
There are a lot of parallels with Tampa Bay. It has to be said....
In a nutshell.

Nothing wrong in installing a caretaker manager when you sack your manager in December.....But it’s utterly idiotic to give the caretaker manager the job full time on the basis of 15 games...,I still can’t come to terms with that decision.....We had just lost back to back games,the wheels were beginning to roll off and bang,we announce Ole as the full time manager!!We all thought that when Jose was on his way out, whose to say we don't install another caretaker manager if Ole gets sacked and we end up in this kind of mess all over again. Nothing would surprise me with the way this club is run.
The only way out of this slide is for the Glazers to accidentally stumble on a completely unheralded young manager who is happy to not be backed in the window and proves to be the second coming of Klopp. Which I'm sure youll agree, is highly unlikely to happen.
Agree with a lot of what your saying.I”m not sure if Pochettino would even want to take over if we don’t create a support structure around him.Unless we appoint a top DOF,revamp our scouting network and create the sort of infrastructure around the manager that you see at clubs like City and Liverpool,I”m not sure if Pochettino would even want the job....Completely agree with this. There is no point beating Ole with stick when the problem goes much deeper. We need to focus our blame on Ed and the board. Yes, it's easy to change a manager than the clubs structure but in our case we have been changing managers like one time use plastic bags and it's getting us no where.
Here is what Livepools CEO talked on World Football Summit held this week about the club and their structure.
Look at how much that's going on at Livepool and compare it with what we have. Even before the names are presented to Klopp, so much work is being put on the players analysis using data science.
Even if we change manager and get Potch i cannot see how we're going to become world beaters all of a sudden. I know Ole is not the right answer but if you think just replacing him and keeping our club's structure as it is would suddenly turn this sinking ship then i've got news for you.

I just put out a post on this very thread,saying that Pochettino won’t take the job unless we build the support structure around him.Unless we appoint a top DOF,revamp our scouting network,and create the sort of infrastructure that you see at the top clubs,I”m not sure if Pochettino would want to take over....This is the same Liverpool who were a running joke with their mythical "transfer committee" with the money they wasted after selling Torres and Suarez. A good manager covers a multitude of sins. Just look at us when Fergie was here with the Glazers in charge, or Pep at City covering for Soriano and Begiristain.
The same people who were in charge of Liverpool during those fallow times, are still there now. The only change is that they actually have a good manager.
Also, @Nikelesh Reddy you're hilarious if you think the likes of Tuchel or Poch would come here. We're the very definition of a poisoned chalice with a board who have no interest in the sporting sphere. No one would be willing to risk their reputation working under these constraints.
I hope your right...But honestly,are football managers competent enough to take transfer decisions on their own without any help?Just look at the kind of structure that’s been built at Liverpool and City?They completely back Guardiola and Klopp most of the time,but they also protect the long term interests of the club at times...Poch doesn’t like directors of football and Poch just wants to be backed. Again we gave Solskjaer a £80m defender. I’m sure Poch will be fine.

Frank Lampard got a job where he couldn’t sign no one. Let that sink in with your rubbish negativity.
Wonder if anybody knows if a caretaker manager becoming permanent has worked at any of the top clubs? I am sure there is somebody our there who can find out.Nothing wrong in installing a caretaker manager when you sack your manager in December.....But it’s utterly idiotic to give the caretaker manager the job full time on the basis of 15 games...,I still can’t come to terms with that decision.....We had just lost back to back games,the wheels were beginning to roll off and bang,we announce Ole as the full time manager!!
So many had convinced themselves that Chelsea were finished without Hazard. The transfer ban actually did them a favour. When a manager has lots of options like Chelsea do all over the pitch it makes the job much easier. That's ignoring that they already had a good system in place that got them 3rd and a Europa league win.You can not compare Chelsea's predicament, that team is a good team without signings, most of that squad played under Conte and Sarri, yes they lost Hazard and need a centre back and possibly a centre forward, the truth is Frank is getting an easy ride with the narrative can't sign any players.
If Conte was still there today, he would of needed a centre back,a mdifelder and centre forward, this is not taking into account the signing of the Croat or Jorghino, remember Chelsea had Drinkwater and Bak on their books.
If Sarri was still there, their back five would be the same, Kante would be in midfield, alongside Jorginho or the Croat from Real Madrid, and the front line would be the same minus probably Tammy, he would probably need a striker and midfielder.
This Chelsea team is good enough to get top 4, if they want to sure up their defence, switch to 352 or improve the overall defending of the team. Frank's Derby were exactly the same, when it came to defending.
The truth is most football managers don't want a DoF. In fact having no doF is one of the perks of the United job for managers. Even Jose opposed it. We originally made it this way to give the manager extensive control over their purchases. It's till only recently that the fans started agitating for one but it certainly has its positives for managersI hope your right...But honestly,are football managers competent enough to take transfer decisions on their own without any help?Just look at the kind of structure that’s been built at Liverpool and City?They completely back Guardiola and Klopp most of the time,but they also protect the long term interests of the club at times...
Just look at the way the City hierarchy over ruled Guardiola on the signing of Alexis Sanchez.Its no secret that Pep desperately wanted him,but when we went in for Sanchez and offered him a ridiculous wage,the city hierarchy just backed off...
I swear that article was an essay's worth of what you read in your average redcafe one liner post.
