Ole Sack Watch

Imagine being 8 points off it already with that start…
Looks like they want to just kill the season altogether rather than save it.
If Conte is at the Atalanta game over the weekend then that tells you everything you need to know
I doubt it. That would imply that there is no clause in his contract that says that the club can sack him for X amount of money (probably one year salary).
I know that Ed is an idiot when it comes to football, but he is not an idiot when it comes to money.
Makes it even more questionable. Seems like it's there to add flavor to the tweet and it's just a wild guess because as you said, Sir Alex is part of the board. But he shouldn't know that Sir Alex wants to give Ole another chance for Spurs game, too specific to be true. Heck, even Ole doesn't know his own fate at this moment most likely.
Ronaldo, Varane etc.. must be very happy
People really not moved on from the comparisons between Jürgen Klopp and Ole Solskjaer yet? They where a daft to start with, as when comparing coaches you always have to use context, and none was ever used.
The entire board backing Ole to stay should have zero input going forward.
It doesn't matter if it's SAF, Gill, etc.

I haven't missed the context. its the very essence of my post
Everyone seems to fail to see if we wait another 4-5 games to sack him there is a good chance we will then be out of the champions league ,surely now is the best time to give us the best chance of qualifying for the knockout stages, we could barley beat Atalanta and vilareal at home we simply have no chance under the current set up away. Are we prepared to simply throw another competition down the drain to save face that we are a loyal club we were only loyal to Ferguson because for the majority of his tenure he kept winning if he would have consistently been awful he would have had the bullet as well.
Can we play Liverpool again Saturday just to sack him 100%
I can’t believe that Ferguson would be so sentimental. Also, given Ferguson had massive respect for Juventus, Lippi, and his teams, I’d imagine he’d love the chance to get Conte into United. There are some muppets here who reckon that Conte plays defensive football but Ferguson was on record as rating Conte’s Chelsea very highly.
The contract is just about three months old. Even if there is a break clause, I doubt it can be triggered this early. It is way more likely we would have to pay close to the full amount left on his deal.
Probably just relaying what's been told to Conte.
They've decided to give him 1 last chance, but be on stand by for when they pull the trigger.
I think most of it is just posturing anyway. You don't go this far without deciding he's toast. I think it's just giving them more time to get the arrangements in place.
Conte will need time to get his backroom staff ready, find a house to live in etc etc.
A fluke win against Spurs followed by the trademark snigger in the post-match interview.
That’s what annoys me so much. We are completely throwing away the chance at a decent season with a great squad of players if we continue this madness.
Perfect chance to start afresh against Spurs but yet Ole will still be at the wheel
It's far from a perfect chance, to be fair.
Yes, I believe it can always get worse. Especially if you put the coaches of the worst coached team in the league, also in charge of management. You think that's a good idea?
I'm not saying that he's not doing badly (nay, terribly) or that he should not get sacked. I'm just saying we should be working feverishly towards finding a suitable replacement and sack him when we do. Not before. If that is tomorrow, great. If it's in 1 month time, so be it.
He won't.
De Dea, Maguire, Varane, Lindelof, Shaw,Fred, McTominay, Pogba, Bruno, Ronaldo, Sancho, Dalot and Rashford will all be in international duties. Greenwood and a couple of others might be too.
I mean, sure, he can train with Henderson, Bailly, Telles, and Mata but that won't bring anything.
Looks to me like ole is going to be in charge for next 3 games ,They will wait for the international break to appoint a new manager ,by then we will have lost to spurs probably drew with Atlanta if we are lucky then been spanked badly by City.With the side the way it is at present i can really see us getting walloped by city.
They don't have a replacement.
This club have until this point not countenanced sacking Ole so did not have any contingency plan. Dereliction of duty. The failing is not that he hasn't been sacked. It's that they have not even prepared for the possibility.
If Ole has lost the dressing room then that 1 last chance will end up costing us points. It's absolutely pointless... might as well give it to Phelan while Conte or whoever is the replacement get his things ready. After that sack Mike Phelan as well, sack them all.
We did not do that even for Jose, so I doubt it will be for Ole. But then, we did not give this time to anyone, so who the feck knows.
Still, I think that it is pretty safe that there is a clause that says that the manager can be sacked for x amount of money. Maybe 1-year salary, which would still be a very large sum.
No sources? Why are we sure it’s not the media just inventing stories to sell, once again?
The 12.3% who want him to have more time must be the opposition fans and fellas who still watch the '99 final in a facility.
Laughing stock. He's actually survived this and will be our manager at the weekend. Absolute embarrassment. This is how Arsenal's slide began and they actually had a proper manager.

We knew this was Fergie’s appointment. We just had respect. However this is a Moyes now Ole. Stop listening to this guy. Counter productive.
Keeping him at this point is insane. It'd be much better to have a caretaker for few games rather than Ole. The incompetence of those in charge is incredible.
It doesn't need to be a slow and painful death.

I want Ole to leave for the sake of the club, but I will never forget what he did for us as a player and some of the abuse he is getting is disgraceful. He is out of his depth, yeah, but that isn't his fault. I wouldn't walk either, because I would always have faith in my ability to turn it around.
With all due respect to the great man, we need younger people who are more in tune with the modern game, making/influencing these decisions.
The only plausible explanation is that the board and the Glazers are not able to agree on who and what kind of manager the next one should be. Probably want to see who might be available next summer (Poch, Tuchel, Den Hag etc.).
I think it would make more sense to get e.g. Conte for the remaining season as he at least would drill the squad properly and get them in better shape physically and mentally. Also he can help getting rid of a few players in January if possible and bring some reasonability when it comes to the contract situation of others.

Away at Spurs with a new/caretaker manager is far from perfect
Mate this isn’t lasting a season.
exactly.
They did for Ole.
DADDY DADDY WANT NOWW!!!
Our board isn't very well known for using logic.
