In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
I remember a few we won against City when we were coached by Ole..
Those games you cannot say..more often we lose..
There is nothing between Ole and Ten Haag..just Ten Haag fluked 2 finals ..
Ole's team were more entertaining..
I know you all are happy thinking that we have bought better players..
But Martial, blind, VDB, Maguire, Awb were all promising when we bought them ..
Right now , if we want anything from this season,
Sack the coach and get a new coach
I would be happy with Tuchel
There’s only one ex United striker taking over if ten hag gets the boot, and he’s already sat in the dugout
It's concerning when you think "finally, the penny has dropped with other supporters over Ten Hag" only to see them running back to Ole. It was equally as painful listening to the excuses for him for so long too. Some of our fans never learn, and that's putting it extremely lightly. I don't want to offend so I'll say no more, safe in the knowledge that there's no way Berrada etc go for Ole.
I get why people have concluded that ETH cannot be successful here, I'm almost there myself. I get why they ridicule those few of us left who still support him or are on the fence. But when some people start talking of bringing Ole back I wonder if we just get what we deserve.
Imagine not forgiving a manager for not subbing a goalkeeper out for a penalty shootout.
Something that is so rare, that it has happened only a handful of times in the entire history of football.
Yup
Neither was most of our football under Fergie to be fair. Unsustainable low xG foootball is when you get players to perform over their ability and expected output. Isn’t that the point of a good manager?
He’s the only United manager to do the double over Pep’s city.
Employing a manager that got sacked off PSV that Rangers emptied in the Champions League doesn't make any sense at all. RVN must be there to try buy ETH time and that alone. ETN goes, the backroom staff go too hopefully.
An Ole vs Southgate thread for next manager would be entertaining.
This fanbase is absolutely insane! Going by some of the takes on this thread, I can only assume that people enjoy complaining about us more than us actually getting better..
Going by some of the takes on this thread, I can only assume that people enjoy complaining about us more than us actually getting better..What a ridiculous joke. I would know for sure that Ineos have no clue what they are doing if they even entertained this nonsense.
He is our Lampard
I know. Like I said I ain’t comparing.
Exactly. Ole managed to play the best football under a poor recruitment structure. We now have a lot better of a team than when Ole was here. If we had Ratcliffe and that running the show when ole was here do you think we spend 80m on Maguire?
Totally in for this. Ole had us playing the best football since 2013 and exactly what a United manager should be… recruitment choices were his downfall. New structure, bring him back!
Ole was a legend as a player, but there is day and night difference comparing Fergie to Ole. Fergie could win trophies with the most basic players, Ole spent over £400 mill and won nothing. You cant even compare his trophy haul as a manager to 3 of our other managers since Fergie.
I can't believe anyone is contemplating bringing him back. The guy won nothing as a manager, Tactics/coaching were delegated to others, he had zero discipline, he fecked off to Norway on a holiday when his job was on the line and he switched gameplay mid through which made all the players in his first transfer window redundant. If we're bringing someone from that regime then at least lets sign the guy who had brains ie McKenna.
Anyone wanting Ole back is absolutely mental.
A former United striker and legend that played for the club 20 years ago before going back to his homeland to start his managerial career in an inferior league, winning a couple of trophies? I didn’t like it when he was brought in as interim and thought it was stupid when he was given the job.
Nah not for me, I’m hoping that Van Nistelrooy is given the interim job and can lift the club a bit and get the players cooking and then if he does well enough over a stretch he could be given the job full time.

I don't mind him in a Giuseppe Baresi type of role (at Inter) where he is moved around according to the club wishes and needs (ie scout, assistant manager, temporary manager, technical assistant etc). It would mean that if we sack a manager then we do not need to bring a temp manager from the outside. However that role need to be clearly defined with every party in question knowing that hell will freeze before he'll get the managerial role on a permanent basis.
That can be quite tough on anyone though. At one moment Baresi was sitting near Mourinho as Inter were cruising into a treble and suddenly he fount himself at the fringes as Mancini and Benitez didn't fancy him
So you didn't want a former Utd striker who's managerial experience was winning trophies in an inferior league as interim or given the job full time.
But now, you'd like see a former Utd striker who's managerial experience has only seen minor success in an inferior league as interim or given the job long term.
Makes sense.
It’s so specific I hoped someone might get it, alas
We shouldn't go back but he was significantly better than Lampard as a manager
ten Hag beat Pep's city in a cup final and won a trophy in his first attempt.
But can he finish a distant second in the league?
Until then he's the worstest ever and we need Ole to come back. Bring back McFred, Martial, Pogba, Telles and Dan James.

I’m not saying I want it to happen, but that’s surely half the reason he agreed to step down to being an assistant.
You guys are nuts. On no level is bringing OGS back a good idea
Bring him back, Keane as assistant, Buttner as defensive coach, Bebe as set piece coach, O'shea as goalkeeping coach and we are set.
If we bring him back or appoint potter or southgate then we might as well bring back woodward and his partner murtough and fold the club.
Ole received enough abuse but if he is smart just stay away and enjoy your life.

This threadWhy not bring back Moyes
Deary me that’s some comparison.
ffs The clamour for Ole’s return is actually real? I thought it was a joke. Our fan base has some proper unresolved trauma/PTSD they need to deal with…
Bring him back to manage the u23s, that way we’ll have two equally piss poor managers at the two highest levels at the club. Less disconnect!
Re-Animate Dave Sexton !
Bring back Big Ron!

It's not like in real-time a shit tonne of people weren't happy with him as manager, for good reasons. But, with the power of revisionism, we were a fantastic attacking side who were a whisker away from being a great side.
I can't wait for the power of revisionism to kick in for ETH in years to come: 3rd place, 2nd highest points total post-Fergie, 3 finals, 2 Cups. It'll sound like the glory years.
