Somebody should have told Busby that. Ferguson too. You’ll throw a lot of babies out with the bathwater with that mindset.
I'm sorry but, Samuel Luckhurst is right, all respect to the great man of course but this looks ridiculous, there to "protect" Ole? What the hell is going on at this club, why are we protecting people who just are not good enough, plain and simple, people would rather see us rot aslong as we have the United DNA
We were talking about last season, not this.
And yes that’s why other teams also had less points than in previous seasons, as it was a very challenging season for every club.
Since when SAF's opinion is the manager mattered for the board? Pretty sure he was backing Moyes in public and he was still sacked.
This is what scares me, all the noise suggests the club are shocked and had no plans for life after Solskjaer. Our long term planning is dreadful, we always knew that, but it seems we didn't even have a plan this time.
Fergie to come out of retirement
Fergie begging Ronaldo to play for Ole
So the board decide that they need to give Ole more rope to hang himself. While they tap up other managers. And the players unleash a wave of toxic hell in the press.
And they think getting SAF back in to give a rousing speech will suddenly undo all of that, and the players will magically start believing in Ole?

He was given the next 3 games to save his job. 
I swear it feels like we are sacking the best manager in the world with all this hesitation and second chances, and not one of the worst managers we have had in modern times.

Probably as long as we have a shot on target in each game it will be seen as progression
I'm hearing about Fergie, Gill and splits in the board room... WHO is in charge at this club? WHO is going to make the decisions? It's all over the place... why are the owners influenced so much? Just make your own fecking decisions, you are the owners.
Sounds like a house of commons type meeting is going on. Should we invite the Class of 92 as well?

Hopefully they're there to help the search for a new manager. Or at least doing something proactive towards shaping the club in a better way, we're in dire straights again
This is bad. Fergie needs to recuse himself of this mess, it’s not his place. Sends the wrong message and reeks of favoritism.
So let me get this right. SAF has turned up to Carrington to give a rousing come to arms speech. Is Ole not able to do this himself? Jesus wept please sack him today. He cant coach, he cant organise tactically, and now seemingly cant motivate
It's idiotic. Makes zero sense.
Feck me we are really looking to the future aren't we? Ron Atkinson will be taking training next.
If he isn't sacked for losing 5-0 to Liverpool at home he will never get sacked.
He will get the end of the season, secures top 4 in last few weeks and get a new ten years contract.
Might as well give up as we are a hopeless case.

the state of this clubI humbly point to the fact that we’ve been expected to muller you in every derby for the last few years, but you’ve done very well against us.
It seems to me that Ole’s got Pep sussed and I don’t see that being different in the 12:30 kick off on the 6th of November where I anticipate you playing a low block and counter attacking with hoof ball.
That kind of game fits well with the strengths of your squad and your problem v the dippers was that you tried to press but were pretty damn useless at it with Ronaldo only breaking sweat once in 90 minutes, to assault a player on the deck.
Liquidate the club, etc.
Seriously,
what "cultural reboot" , what DNA, what other crap etc.
Come on man, this is year 2021, 2022 soon.
Win games and trophies, win you $ and reputation.
Scrap 4th position every year and say bye to cup competitions will not win you $ and reputation.
Yeah, this is their "cultural" and "DNA".
Still dreaming of a romantic ending where a former player wins the EPL and CL for his club.
Yeah dream on.

Surprised no one has picked up on the Pogba thing
I feel like the club are stalling and giving themselves more time to be sure about the replacement.
It's odd that some use this spade to beat Jose with and excuse Ole for having players on enormous wages. I guess doesn't fit the narrative.
Dearie me…
Hopefully Ferguson is only there to help Solskjaer clear out the manager’s office before a competent one arrives.
Incredible how an institution as mammoth as United’s is still stuck in an endless cycle of nostalgia, sentimentality and misplaced ‘culture’. Even the Scousers aren’t this mawkish and that’s saying a hell of a lot.

That’s what boards are for
honestly, this makes the 5-0 loss even worse for me. If it had led to a managerial change, the loss would have at least had some good since we could have started over. But that game to happen only to have the same manager going forward is pretty fecking depressing.
I guess we'll somehow eke out a good result against Tottenham or Atalanta and pet ourselves on the back for sticking with Ole. Then City will take us behind the woodshed like Liverpool did and we're back to square one, having wasted two weeks.

based on reports.
3 games to save his job....I've never heard something so ridiculous. So he wins the next 3 then loses to Chelsea. What then? Another 3 chances? It's Man Utd not a game of snakes and ladders!
Not particularly surprising, tbf is it? He’s between positions and between places under Ole. Why would he stay under a manager who isn’t sure if he wants him or not himself?
There's plenty of hope that another manager can get the best out of Sancho and numerous other quality players we have.
Yeah, sure, he absolutely loves that.
Exactly. If they made me a mod, some offences would be instantly banable.
Is Ole actually at Carrington today?
I'm sure Pogba is looking forward to Sir Alex giving the team a talk
Martin Edwards now as well, he's not on the board?
The opposite — he needs to distance himself entirely. For the good of his own health and the clubs.
It’s really quite amateurish and exactly why the club has stagnated ever since SAF retired.
Not sure what needs to happen/will happen that will get the club to stop living in the past and start running things like a 21st century football club.
