Is it really? We could lose our next 5 games and still cannot see him being under pressure. We will still be told of how he has made 3 great signings and that is all that matters.
Why did we need someone from the club?
Villa marks the end of the forgiving run we should have been taking advantage of (Norwich, Bournemouth, Brighton, Sheffield, Villa) and we've then got a resurgent Spurs and City to come. If the board were going to replace Ole it should have been done already, now it's too much of a baptism of fire in that you have United;s ex manager + a Manchester Derby coming up where we are expected to lose both.
I don't blame Ole anymore because he's obviously just doing the best he can, which simply is nowhere near good enough but he's not the one making decisions. The board keep messing up and it's unacceptable - LVG found out he was fired through his wife, they gave Jose a new contract didn't back him and had to pay him a small fortune whilst he waited for the sack and are now so scared of making a decision on Ole that the message is they will just stick with him. We're fecking 9th in the league and it's not inconceivable that we'll be close to the relegation zone by the time we've played the City game.

Really? That's funny if you honestly think the squad we have is only good for our current position of 9th.
I have also heard that stating your IQ in a public forum is a solid proof of really elite EQ...
This myth about Ole getting criticism because of not challenging for the title needs to stop. That is not the ask, some basic progress and a plan to improve is what I am expecting. Instead, we are regressing with no clear style of play.
Why would it not change anything? The right man could transform us. Again, we went from being shaky in Europe to being almost invincible in large part due to the input of Carlos Queiroz, so I’m not sure why you think improving on Mike Phelan would make no difference. Frankly it could change absolutely everything.
We didn't, if anything we needed the opposite. A fresh start, a clean slate. Stop looking back, and look forward. But instead we're falling into the trap Liverpool did for decades.
Na the fans can’t stay dumb forever. The noise will get to loud abit like the Gunners. The United Stand will be unbearable.
Is it ever bearable?
Who watches that shiteAre we shitting on match-going fans supporting their team now?Is it ever bearable?

New era of football fans. AFTv and Full time Devils got it going. Now it’s just the norm. Abit like Football Forums. I don’t see nothing wrong with it. Social media era for you
Nope!
Why would I shit on myself? Thats gross.
No idea what you're talking about. Glad it got sorted though, whatever it was.
Premier League win rates as permanent manager.
Unai Emery (AFC) 49%
Ole Gunnar Solskjær (MUFC) 28.6%
Maybe I am "doing football supprt wrong", but this is absolutly unacceptable and Ole should have been fired weeks ago.

That only works if the manager has something more than a legendary status and talking a good game on TV. All the good assistants Fergie had were so because Fergie himself was very good at what he did.
Yep. Sets a big precedent and nowhere to hide for Ed now with Arsenal doing as well as us. Well, "well" is a term I'd use loosely. Spurs acting too.
Next three games are huge for Ole. I mean at the very least I'm expecting 4 points.
Clubs around us making moves means nothing in our case, dunno why people think that string of bad results will force some kind of change.
It would take a very long string of bad results for Ole to lose his job, and that just isn't likely to happen, we'll keep picking up the odd win and have a good performance against strong teams to keep us just dragging along.
Nah, emotional quotation is not a factor on this web site.
United won 4 drawn 5 lost 4
Arsenal won 4 drawn 6 lost 3
spurs. won 4 drawn 5 lost 4
the latter 2 teams both now decided those stats are not good enough and sack the manager... surely the clocks ticking on Ole.

Its astonishing that we lost to some 5th rate team yesterday and we've somehow managed turn that into a positive because the youngsters played. Holy shit have we lost ALL standards. feck dropping them, theyre gone.
He is a miracle man
Untouchable because he doesn’t ask for players and the club is happy for saving money, both completely satisfied
Not for a while. Alongside his role as Manchester United manager, he is also Manchester United's narrative and excuse - He's one of our own, he deserves time, he needs time because the squad isn't great, etc. It's working on enough fans, so they'll go with it for as long as they can.
Both in their positions for longer though. Which does affect how clubs act. Arsenal fans had turned toxic too.
We should be talking to Poch now.
Especially now that Arsenal are looking for a manager.
Now!

Now!
Ed went behind LVG's back to Jose when publicly all the noise was he was backing him, it wouldn't be a shock or surprise that we've made contact with Poch in my opinion.
Found this funny for some reason. If not, I will weep.
I'd rather have a manager being over the top with praise in public than throwing them under the bus, maybe I'm weird though.
I agree.
Some even mentioned is was valuable game time for the youngsters. A 2-1 loss against a team from Kazakhstan. Very valuable indeed.
Nah. If it's justified praise than I'm all for it. But if he goes out mentioning how good freaking Lingard was than it's a pure pisstake. I'd actually find it funny if it was a tongue in cheek remark but he seemed pretty serious about it
DIdn't want to make Unai Emery's thread about Ole. Coming back to your point, I feel the squad that Jose left needed major revamping anyways. Yes, if we go back to Jan 2018 after buying Sanchez, the squad definitely looked more promising on paper but then it all went downhill. Lukaku , Herrera did not want to stay, Matic and Sanchez became shit. Pogba went AWOL. And Martial and rashford blew hot and cold. My point is Ole did not take over a strong squad by any imagination.
Just to clarify I do not think Ole is the man to take us forward but I will not buy the argument that Ole took over some amazing squad and made it shit. Our squad was as unstable as it gets when he took over.
What about neither? What about a manager that speaks in real terms without being overly critical? A manager that simply states "that was frankly poor and I'm/we're unhappy" rather than claiming he's proud of the boys' efforts.
It's like he's trying the 'kill them with kindness' approach to keep the fans onside - "Im going to be the literal antithesis of everything that was Jose Mourinho....including his trophy cabinet"
It's pretty obvious to me he's just trying to raise his confidence though, we all know the truth. I'd hope Ole isn't totally blind, but then Andreas starts every PL game, so who knows!
Maybe if you started following the club after Ole retired. He was always like that as a player, even in the interviews before he was always like that and now as a manager he is being himself who wants to be positive and praise the players at least infront of cameras.
If not Andreas then Lingard, if not him then it's Mata.
It's like Shit old player, shittier prime player, shittiest young player.
