Still no comunicado oficial. Joke club.
Nah.It's like groundhog day. Everyone's bleating about the manager but this mess extends far, far beyond him. Changing him for someone else will achieve the square root of feck all.
I feel for him, he was handed a poisoned chalice inheriting a squad which was already not fit for purpose and then having to deal with it being further weakened and only partially supported with incomings. My hope was that Fred would come in to his own and form that base from which everything could flow but he just hasn't.
I still fully back Ole, as I can see what he's building towards and I don't think a manager change will accomplish anything. The Glazers seem to think every manager they hire can work under the same restrictions as SAF did. Even when they loosen those restrictions, it only lasts for a season or two before the same issues arise again and again. The same will happen under Poch or whoever else comes in next.
The sooner everyone comes to the realisation that we're shit, the better. Forget that we're Man Utd, forget top 4 or even top 6, and just focus on building this squad up from ground zero. Give the manager (whether it's Ole or whoever) time to rebuild, accept that we'll have lows as well as highs and see where we are after 2-3 seasons. Cos this just isn't a simple fix. Ole needed to be backed much, much more extensively and he wasn't. This is the legacy of that decision in the summer.
Buy a midfielder and an attacker who's contract is running out?Agreed, the standards. have been lowered. What can we realistically do in January though that will make much difference?

Mandžukić.Who though? Trust me, I'm all for strengthening the squad but January is always a nightmare.
So the standards have been lowered which is what I said?Standards has vary according to how likeable the manager is.
2 years ago people dishing 2nd as failure. Not top 4 with this squad ole will get a lifetime contract.
We sacked lvg for finishing 5th with an fa cup win. Yet we say ole should be given time.
So no. Standards are moving every year.

He's by far the worst manager in the PL.Solskjaer record so far as a permanent manager in PL:
At Cardiff:
3 wins in 17 games.
At United:
4 wins in 17 games
Total:
7 wins in 34 games or 20% win rate.
This is Remi Garde, Dave Bassett, Steve Wigley, Chris Hutchings, Billy Davies, Alan Shearer and Slavisa Jokanovic territory now.
Ed's job is to sack him but also to resign would be decent thing to do. Before all these huge contracts, managers resigned all the time. Now when they can lost millions and in Ole's case dream job, they refuse to do that. Personally if he does that, he would have all my respect and in future i would see him as what he is still; our football legend who tried to do something as a manager and failed. It happens in life. It is not a problem and something for be ashamed. If he will be sacked then i will remember him as a person who was ready to ruin this club because of his selfish ambition.
Ambition is a great thing but when that ambition is damaging many people around you then it is just selfish thing.
The op I responded to was this:Highered if it's jose. Now it's top 10 or sack. There was a time under jose when it's th3 title or sack.
I've no idea why you've brought Jose into it.By finishing 6th, Moyes opened up a can of worms that shifted the mindset of the club from it being unacceptable not winning the title to it being okay finishing 4th.
Yeah the Pool game will be his last shot. Unless our form and playing style magically turns around then he will be gone. Which seems fair at this point as the very basics aren't even working.Will probably wait till we get shafted by Liverpool before we sack him I imagine. It’s what we did with Mourinho.
.
I genuinely for the life of me, can't understand posts like this. If you don't believe a proper coach can't come in and save us from relegation form, well then you must believe that we have championship standard players all over the pitch, which obviously isn't the case.

Depends on who you ask. There are "back the manager" cultists, a specific manager cultists, and then there are those of us who apply the same standard to all of our managers. The goal is to play attacking football, and if you can get that right, we'll be willing to back poor results until the players get there. No manager has been able to do this. And that is why I've questioned every manager earlier than a lot of fans. I want to see on the pitch evidence you can coach them and I want to see things resembling the current best sides.Standards has vary according to how likeable the manager is.

What future? we are now 2 points from relegation ffs! Club legends I love but the club is bigger than them to me, I we will not accept the club I love be in the relegation zone just because a "club legend is the manager". What is so difficult to understand in that?You see in the future? What are the lottery numbers?
Thats all on you, you don't care about club legends much it seems.
That happened earlier: the moment Moyes was appointed.By finishing 6th, Moyes opened up a can of worms that shifted the mindset of the club from it being unacceptable not winning the title to it being okay finishing 4th.
He completely destroyed a pillar of the club.
This allowed managers such as Van Gaal and Mourinho to say we in transition.
Now Solskjaer has taken things to a new level. Now suddenly we're in a position where finishing 6th would be considered good? This could open another can of worms that is difficult to manage.
As much as I like Ole, he has to moved on (ideally move on himself).
The only way the club can salvage the season is by going in hard in January's transfer window.
You know he won't resign until we get relegated? That's the future you seem to see. Calm your tits.What future? we are now 2 points from relegation ffs! Club legends I love but the club is bigger from them to me, I we will not accept the club I love be in the relegation zone just because a "club legend is the manager".

Do we have to get relegated for him to resign, is this not disgraceful enough being in the relegation zone? He should resign now, because he is in the relegation battle already.You know he won't resign until we get relegated? That's the future you seem to see.

The quality of the manager is the crucial part of the rebuild. Get the wrong manager and the rebuild is botched too, particularly in the absence of a DOF. What has Ole shown, here or elsewhere, that suggests he can rebuild a club the size of United and take it back to the top?
He forgot that there's a manager that win boatloads under the glazer.
Whether or not we can find the next fergie is another debate. But off course a better manager can make us better than our current form under ole.
For what jose is slagged, he does deliver trophies and a 2nd place finish. Which the longer ole goes on the more it looks like Jose's biggest achievement
We can rebuild all we want, but the manager shouldn’t be rebuilding. The DOF should.
When the manager fails or needs changing which happens every 3 years on average, where do you go next? we all love and respect ole for his time as a player but a 20% win rate in the premier league is nowhere near good enough.
Yes our squad is weaker than it should be and injuries have been a huge issue, but this united squad should be winning way more of these matches.
should Ole be going now? Probably.
Who could replace him? Allegri? Would he fit the path that Solskjær and Woodward were aiming for?
The next decision is going to be huge.
He should, idiot, pile of shit, clueless fek on the sidelines.Do we have to get relegated for him to resign, is this not disgraceful enough being in the relegation zone? He should resign now, because he is in the relegation battle already.
Ask yourself this, which good manager would even be willing to come to this steaming pile of shit? And that's before we even look at the names that are currently in vogue. Each and every one of them have their own issues and carry with them concerns over whether they are a good fit for us.
I literally mentioned Fergie in there... If you're going to criticise my post, at least have the decency to read it. We're not going to find another Fergie for a long, long while; if ever. That sort of manager is a one-off and likely will never come again simply because they don't make them like him anymore. We needed to move with the times in footballing terms after he left, and under Ed and the Glazers we've well and truly fecked it up. No manager would thrive in this environment. Not LvG (who took the worst Dutch team in decades to 3rd place at the world cup the summer he joined us); not Jose (need I say more?); and now, unfortunately, not Ole.
Just fecking wake up, the lot of you. I'm not even a Glazers out person, but the fact of the matter is we've regressed as a result of their underspending for the best part of a decade. The seeds weren't sown when Fergie left, but when Ronaldo was sold. We could and should have got Ribery, De Rossi and Sneijder to replace him and build a new formidable team, and I don't need to tell you what we ended up with... The fact we still challenged in the league and in Europe, is a testament to SAF, but it should never have got to that in the first place.
Maybe. McKenna was a highly regarded youth coach; Carrick a complete novice. I just think it’s harsh to utterly write them off considering the regimes they’ve been working for since they started.We said the same during Mourinho era too, that they were undermined by him. Maybe they are just terrible at their job?
We can rebuild all we want, but the manager shouldn’t be rebuilding. The DOF should.

This is absolutely spot on, and I was a reasonably early Jose-outer!Standards has vary according to how likeable the manager is.

No I don’t believe ole will remain and unfortunately I see Woodward lasting for a long time.You think the next dof if any would say. Yeah, ole works. If he does says that he should be dragged out of old trafford and given his p45
No I don’t believe ole will remain and unfortunately I see Woodward lasting for a long time.
Ideally the glazers will actually try and get this shit show sorted and push Woodward back to financial and bring in a proper football man.
Our next coach needs to understand performance on the pitch is the primary objective. Signing players and “rebuilding” isn’t an excuse to not perform on the pitch.
